55: You Can Do It Smiling Or Crying But You're Gonna WORK

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Cari and I will have a conversation that was inspired by the National Geographic series, Life Below Zero, wherein a recent episode, the featured Alaskan used the phrase “You can do it smiling or crying, but you're going to work” to refer to living in Alaska. That caught my attention because it rang true to any part of the world or in any part of life. One has to put in the work in order to achieve anything, regardless of whether they enjoy doing the necessary work or not.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We understood the value of work since we were young and we felt a great sense of pride in being able to contribute to our family’s success by working on our farm, so working hard for what we desire has always been part of our value system. Cari will address the fact that putting work when it comes to health and fitness is all about perspective, and she will refer to her weight loss journey by talking about when she used to go to a gym and smile through all the hard work she had to put in while most women would just complain. Her idea of perspective comes from the fact that she tirelessly smiled all through the workouts her trainer had her doing because she understood that she was doing it all for her own overall health and wellness.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While weight loss journeys are typically full of tough moments, one must train themselves to find something that motivates them to change their perspective about the work they must put in to achieve the weight, health, and wellness that they desire. We’ll talk about just how much of a difficult time people have on their weight loss journeys when they choose to be angry and resentful about what they cannot have and share some actionable advice about how to overcome that so you can go out and really commit to living a healthy life. Tune in and you’ll definitely get what you need to move forward in your health and wellness journey. Enjoy!</span></p> <p><strong>Key Points of Disc
