We have all been in situations where we said “I wish I would have just gone with my gut”.
Why do we think like this, and more importantly why do we continue to ignore it?
It seems that every time I listen to my gut, it always turns out the way that it is supposed to.
When I choose to ignore what my gut is telling me I stay in the same mundane place, never moving forward and never doing what truly fulfills me.
When you go with your gut, even though it may be so scary and very uncomfortable it will take you to places that you never thought possible and make you go places that take you far beyond what you think is possible today.
For example, 3 years ago my husband and I felt stuck (or me more than he). I was in a job that wasn’t fulfilling me or using my talents in the way I should have. I was not happy where I was living and wanted something bigger for my life.
I kept having this intuition that we needed to move, but wasn’t sure where or why?
My husband Chris was working out at a CrossFit gym and was really interested in starting a gym like this of his own. He was persistent about wanting to do this; and that is when I went with my Gut!
I knew at the time that South Dakota had no CrossFit gyms, and fitness and health were a big priority for most people who live in Sioux Falls.
This was our chance, and we went with our “Gut”. I remember people thinking we were out of our minds to move from the sunny beach to the cold tundra. Most of the people we told didn’t even know where South Dakota was.
We didn’t care, we had a mission and knew that if we went with our gut the rest of it would fall into place; and boy did it!
Not only did we build a successful CrossFit gym, we found a community of hardworking, caring, fit conscious, family and goal oriented people who were full of life and love!
These people impacted our lives, and I know I will look back on life and say “those were some of the most fun times we had”! We not only opened a gym, we gained a community and a family that was so positive, encouraging, and motivating!
I am better because of them and I will be who I will be because these people helped me to believe in myself in all aspects. They supported me and loved me for me!
Chris and I went with our gut and gained a body of people, who will be in our lives for years to come!
What is stopping you? What are you afraid of?
There is a saying that I love, “What would you attempt to do, if you knew that you would not fail?”
