Bill Phillip's | Transformation

Writers Block?

Is this writers block I am experiencing?  I don't know?!?  2 full weeks have passed since completing Bill's "Be the Change" Challenge.  I almost don't know the person I was before this challenge.  When I reflect on the pre-challenge me, it's as if I am reflecting on an entirely different person...like a friend or stranger..someone I know but is not apart of me.  I have experienced so much change and growth I can't seem to organize it all in my head so I can put it on paper. I try and focus on one thing and my mind goes to another and another and at the same time I get concerned that I am forgetting something!!!  It's so important to me to not leave anything out but there is so much that I feel it may happen.  I guess I just need to sit down and begin to write.  Every time I think about beginning to write...I think I should wait because I am still in the process of reflecting and processing.  The reality is I will forever be reflecting, processing, learning and growing post challenge.  The journey will never end.  Even though I am focusing on the 18 weeks specifically and what I learned during that time....a year from know I may uncover something that I did not realize I learned during those 18 weeks and experience more growth as a result of the experience.  So...I can't wait.  I need to start writing and share my heart hoping the words will flow and will make sense.

To all who are currently working on their essays, Let's do this thing! It's been an honor to take this journey with you. We made it to the finish line and we focus now on all the progress we have made in a short time.  We made a commitment to "Be the Change" and we will continue this Transformation Journey for LIFE.  Thank you for sharing your journey so that I and others can learn from your experience and be inspired.

To all who have just begun their journey or have not yet started, my greatest wish is for you to find the strength to believe in yourself and believe that you matter and that you CAN do this because what is waiting for you on the other side is incredible.  If you are holding on to your past...let go.  Your past does not dictate your future.  Take control and ownership of your actions and ownership for the choices you make.  I used to let my past dictate who I had become and my future.  I had given up on myself completely--I thought my life was over.  The way everything was, was the way the rest of my life was going to be.  I chose to hold on to negative words from my past and allow those words to mold me into a shell of a person.  Someone who had zero confidence and self esteem.  Someone who did not believe in herself, like herself...much less love herself.  I had no idea how bad things were inside my head until I worked through them.  It was not easy...but as Bill promises, it is simple.  The inner work was the most difficult part for me.  If losing weight is your goal...you will do it, but know that if you do it right, you may feel as I do by the time your done...that you gained so much more than you lost in weight.  No comparison.  I am here to help in any way that I can.  The first step starts with YOU.  Are you READY to go the distance?!?  I sure hope so because I can't wait to celebrate with you when you reach the Finish Line!

Love and Hugs to you all from my heart to yours:)
