Humble Pie

Something I've been struggling with recently that I want to share with you, and if you are a fellow fitness instructor or entrepreneur, I think this might resonate with you.

The thought that kept coming up....
"....I was assuming I would be supported when I showed up and supported others."

& when that didn't happen by the ones I EXPECTED to be there, my ego would show up saying.....

"You are NOT good ENOUGH for this..or them."

Ouch.

Today, in our personal development group, we learned about HUMILITY.

And also learning to take pleasure in whatever humbles us.

Oh crap. Here we go humble pie.

So that made me realize, especially in teaching to a class of 3-5 people at the gym & online in 2024, whereas in 2014 I taught to 30-50 ppl per class.

So what has my ego tried to tell me? That I am 10x LESS the person I was then?! Even though I have taught MORE and become a BETTER instructor?

What about business? When we pour everything into giving to others, only to feel crickets on the other side of a message.

So how would this relate to me being HUMBLE? Well, as trusty, Google would have it... Here is "How to be humble: Tips for practicing humility in daily life."

1. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses.
2. Listen to others.
3. Practice Gratitude.
4. Admit mistakes.
5. Show empathy.
6. Be teachable.
7. Serve others.
8. Practice self-reflection.

Okurrrrrr, Google, God, and ppl that know more than me. I'm listening. I'm shutting my ego up and showing up REGARDLESS & I'm also ALLOWING myself to practice that gratitude and finding Joy in what I GET to do.

When I allow myself to FEEL that gratitude,I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for this life.

I'm gonna thank my ego for showing me what I'd like to improve in, but I'm not going to discredit my work.

I'm not going to take for granted the people I DO have in my life.

I'm also going to eat that humble pie and show up to serve others. Always. Joy will come when we stop the numbers or comparison game. We are worthy to show up. Drop a if you needed this too. Or don't. I'm not counting the numbers anymore.
