What it Takes to Get Back Up

Posted on October 3, 2015 by lkuhar

This week I had a chance to see my hero, Brene Brown! If you don’t know who she is you MUST check out her work (here). Her new book Rising Strong is rocking my world. Her subtitle alone is enough to stop you in your tracks. “If we are brave enough, often enough, we will fall. This is a book about what it takes to get back up.”

Honestly, when we go after our goals it is all about learning how to get back up after we fall. When we embrace the truth, that we are not going to do it perfectly and that we will make mistakes along the way, half the battle is won.

For example, one of my goals for the 12 weeks of coaching series was to post a blog every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday … well I am falling. I am not going to be able to post every Saturday moving forward due to my upcoming book release. Part of my fall was over committing to a very full schedule. However, that’s not going to stop me from moving forward in my goals. I will continue to blog twice a week, train for my half marathon and work on my book release.

Let me know where you’ve fallen down in your goal and will you continue to pick yourself back up and keep moving forward?

For the month of October I am giving away this beautiful custom-made Worthy of a Miracle necklace. Everyone who shares this blog and any #WorthyofaMiracle #JustLiveToday content on social media will be entered to WIN!!

Is being too tired a good excuse not to follow through on your goals?

I really wanted to use that excuse this week. But when I thought about my desired outcome to feel great when I run my half marathon I decided to push through my resistance.

But then, even in the middle of pushing through, I started thinking about ways to cut corners the next day! Have you ever done that?

Extra accountability is what I needed this week! So I stepped it up. I made a commitment to video and let you know when I completed my next goal (4 mile run).

I want to say a big THANK YOU to my blog community for watching this and my friend Stephanie for running with me because I would have totally cheated myself and ran fewer miles. Confession: I get lazy and I like to cut corners 🙂

Let me know who is keeping you accountable in your goal? Do you need to step up your accountability to make sure you follow through? Everyone who comments will be entered to win a copy of The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

A Simple Tip to Overcome Stress

Posted on September 15, 2015 by lkuhar

When you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed with your schedule what can you do to get rid of that tension?

One trick I’ve shared with my coaching clients over the past few years is an acronym I created called S.L.O.W.

Stop … stop what you are doing.
Listen … listen to your surroundings, to your heart, to God. What is it telling you?
Obey … be obedient in what you just heard.
Walk … put it into action, do it now.

Today when I was feeling overwhelmed I asked myself what can I do to stop feeling this way? Immediately I knew I needed to S.L.O.W. down.

Leave me a comment and let me know if there is anything you are feeling overwhelmed with today & be entered to win a copy of The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

Living in God’s presence will shift you from being stressed to stressed-less. Check out Tracie Mile’s Stressed-less Living bible study here!

Meditate on Psalm 16:1, You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

No Pain, No Gain … Really?

Posted on September 12, 2015 by lkuhar

This was so hard … 7 miles complete!

Why do we take two steps forward and one step back when working towards our goal? We might need to consider the different factors involved. For example this week I need to look at the difference in the weather, my nutrition and stretching from the previous week.

Coaching tip: When you are working towards your goal do not get discouraged when you have an “off” day. It is part of the process to have good days and bad days. Remember progress not perfection. We must go through growing pains, learning and perseverance to get across the finish line.

Let’s keep up the good work ladies, together we will make it through!

Share with me today your progress and maybe an area that you are struggling in. Let’s talk this through together in the comments below & be entered to win a copy of The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

What My Coma Can Teach You

Posted on September 3, 2015 by lkuhar

I was reminded today on my run of how I felt when I was in a coma. The feeling of being trapped, hot and unable to breathe brought back lots of anxiety.

I thought I was going to have to quit running and just go home. But I stopped myself and thought about it. The feelings of being trapped and anxious are nothing but darkness. That is not light … that is not Jesus. I had to make a choice, believe what the word of God says and speak life to myself or stay in anxiety and fear.

Because of my coma and the anxiety it brings me unexpectedly at different times, I have to be intentional about how I choose to deal with it. The same is true about our goals. How are we going to intentionally deal with the thoughts we have about our goals?

What are you choosing to believe about your goals? Are you choosing to believe the truth about yourself, what you can do and what is possible because of Christ living inside of you? Or are you choosing to believe lies and negativity from the enemy?

Redefining Your Goal

Posted on September 1, 2015 by lkuhar

I’m really embarrassed to show you the training video clip at the end … but I think it’s important to let you see me struggling because achieving our goals is not always pretty.

Today’s coaching tip is about redefining our goals.

A few weeks ago we set our goals. My goal is to run a half marathon on Nov. 8, just two days before my book release! But in the back of my mind I had another goal that was kind of blurry. It was to run the half marathon at a certain pace … a pace that is way to fast for me. I’m a pretty SLOW runner and the goal is unrealistic. Honestly, most people walk faster than I run!

So every time I go out for a run I keep putting extra pressure on myself because I’m comparing myself to whether or not I can achieve a faster pace. It’s really silly because my goal is to complete the half marathon period. It doesn’t matter how fast I run it. Just like selling my book, it does not matter how many books are sold, the only thing that matters is that I was obedient to what God called me to do, which was to write the book.

Today I want to encourage you to take a little time and really think about your goal. Do you need to redefine it?

Or are you someone who set a goal but then got off track and said maybe I’ll start later?

What is God speaking to your heart today about your goals? Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN!

This months give away is this awesome book by Suzanne Eller, The Mended Heart.

Just a Little Push {& Winner}

Posted on August 29, 2015 by lkuhar

Who is pushing or challenging you just a little bit to take it up a notch so that you are accomplishing your goals?

Are you slacking off or are you stretching yourself just enough for success?

For me to really push myself enough to make a difference in my training, I meet with my friend Stephanie to run with from time to time. She is much stronger and faster than I am so it’s challenging for me to keep up with her. But in the end it is so worth it to keep me moving forward in my goal … to run 13.1 miles at the Savannah Rock-n-Roll Marathon on Nov. 8. only 2 days before Worthy of a Miracle book release! (I cannot believe it’s already on Amazon. Check it out here)

My friend Stephanie not only challenges me, but she always speaks truth to me by encouraging me and building me up. Stephanie often times believes in me more than I believe in myself. I like to say everyone needs a “Stephanie” in their life.

Leave me a comment and let me know how you are pushing yourself or how you’ll begin to step it up a notch so that you can accomplish your goals.

Let’s speak this affirmation together … I AM WORTHY! You are worthy my friend to accomplish your dreams and goals. You are not alone, we are in this together!

Week 2 – You Are Not Alone

Posted on August 25, 2015 by lkuhar

Hello friends!

I’m going to be real honest with you and today … I did not want to go out for my long run!

I woke up and felt like I had aches and pains from head to toe. I really wanted to procrastinate and put my run off until tomorrow.

Last week I had two unexpected doctor appointments that gave me a little scare. Everything is fine and I’m completely healthy, but it really did mess with my mindset.

Have you ever set a goal and then out of nowhere opposition challenges you?

That’s what happened to me last week, the very first week of training for my half marathon!

Let me know where you are struggling with your goal? What support do you need to keep moving forward?

If you are not struggling with your goal, think about what challenges you might face in the weeks ahead and how you can prepare yourself so that you will stay on track when opposition comes?

Leave me a comment and let me know how you are doing with your goal and where might you need support.

You are not alone in this. Together we will achieve our goals!
