Strive to Become Someone... Not just Do Something

 I read this quote in a meal planning blog and it made me cry real tears... VERY real tears. Like aloud and ugly cry straight out of nowhere

Strive to become someone... not just do something. 

I hired a mindset coach almost a year ago and we have been doing a lot of work around thoughts, the brain and how our actions are driven by the patterns our brain replays. 

Weight loss has been one of my biggest and longest running struggles throughout my life (child and adult). I have tried multiple diets, programs and is it possible that it's never been about diet culture, motivation or punishment. What if it's always been about what serves me? 

What if this entire process - LIFE - is about becoming someone... not just doing something - work, diet, exercise, books, etc.

Who do I want to become... for me? Not for a promotion or a bio or what have you been up to over the years? 

I am rethinking everything - who do I want to become? do I want to become a mom, a bigger leader, a better Christian, wife?  All of that reads like I'm creating the shell of a bio or how I want others to see me... 

What if the question is who do I want to be become... and be proud of ? Not what do I want to do? 

How do I begin to answer those questions? 

I want to become a woman that shows up for herself in a meaningful way. A woman that says she's going to do something for herself 

A woman who honors her word, envisions her future self and begins to practice actions that lead to her ultimate fulfillment.
