Ready to Commit? Here's What to Do Next

Written By Shanna Pyzer

The Christian Life Coach Podcast Episode 77

In this week’s episode, I get real and honest.

Last week, I acknowledged the area in my life that I have been interested, but not committed.

And, while that is not a problem at all, it does become a problem when you hold yourself accountable to a standard that you haven’t yet committed to holding up.

Once I acknowledged my level of investment in losing weight and physical fitness (which was very low), then I had the opportunity to decide if I wanted to just stay at the level of interested or invest in actually making change.

I have decided to commit.

I want to lose weight that I have regained.

Now what?

I talk about my next steps and how you can decide on yours if you are like me and have found an area that you want to invest in, rather than just talk and think about.

    What does it look like to go from being interested in something to being invested or committed to it? That is what I'm going to be talking about on this episode of the Christian Life Coach Podcast.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:33:37

    So, welcome to the Christian Life Coach Podcast. I am Shanna, your Christian Life Coach. Welcome in. This is episode 77.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:33:49

    What? Oh my word. That is crazy to me. Also, just in case you're watching.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:33:56

    On…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:33:58

    the video. I just have to show you this.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:34:01

    I went away for the weekend, and my husband is very crafty, and he made me this little. It's this lights up.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:34:11

    It has a battery on the back.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:34:12

    So what I'm holding up is this cute little wooden plaque that my husband bought and he customized. He has the best printing. He wrote Shanna Pyzer Coaching with my logo and he glitterized it.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:34:30

    He just had so much fun.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:34:32

    And he added.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:34:34

    A little shelf in my closet office.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:34:37

    So if you want to see that, oh.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:34:40

    I'll probably end up posting a picture of it too, but you have to go over and watch the video.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:34:47

    So welcome to August 2026. I am. I have no notes. I have no notes for this episode. So you you may be excited about that, or you may decide to shut me down. I don't know, but when I do these.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:35:05

    episodes where I don't have teaching notes.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:35:09

    It's kind of like being in a coaching call with me.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:35:13

    I, um… I will be really focused, and then I will go…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:35:18

    you know, show you my picture hanging on my wall, or my…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:35:23

    my cute little sign.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:35:27

    Um, so, last week…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:35:30

    I talked about, on the previous episode, episode 76, I talked about the difference between being interested in something and being invested or committed to it.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:35:45

    And… first of all, when I sent out… I send out an email to my email list each… each time a podcast comes out, and I realized, as I was typing out the email.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:35:58

    I forgot to mention something so important last week.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:36:02

    The the reason that this that last week's episode even happened was I was talking to a client.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:36:11

    in a call one day, and she had just been really.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:36:19

    focused on why she wasn't exercising.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:36:24

    She wants to be, she's working towards her personal training certification.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:36:31

    And she just.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:36:34

    kept saying, I just can't get myself to do this. Why can't I get myself to work out every day? And so we would kind of talk about… we talked about it several times, and…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:36:45

    uh, we tried to set it up so that it, you know, she was setting herself up for success, all of these things, and one day she was talking about it again, and I was like, you know…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:36:56

    I heard about this concept in the book Innercise.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:03

    Bye.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:05

    Oh, my goodness. Totally blank. John Asaroff?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:10

    And it's in the very beginning of the book, I think, and he talks about the difference between being interested in something and committed to it. So maybe you're just interested, you just haven't committed to it.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:24

    And we had a conversation about that concept. And.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:29

    To this point, I do believe that was…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:34

    in June sometime.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:36

    And I believe up until at least.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:40

    the end of July, she had been on her treadmill every single day since we had that conversation.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:46

    So

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:49

    Take note if there is something that you keep thinking that you should be doing and wondering why you're not doing it.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:56

    Perhaps…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:37:58

    You are interested in doing it. You have just not yet committed to it.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:04

    You have not invested yourself, your time, your money, your energy, whatever it is that's required in order to do that thing.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:14

    So, as I was…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:18

    Recording the podcast last week, I mentioned, and I actually pulled it out as a reel.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:26

    Oh, man.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:28

    I'm not going to lie, this is — it feels very vulnerable to talk about.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:34

    I…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:36

    At the very beginning of my coaching journey, the first time I ever invested money in coaching was a weight loss coaching program.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:46

    a membership.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:49

    And…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:50

    I was diligent, I was dedicated, I was committed, I was invested, I was focused.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:38:59

    And through that coaching program, using those tools.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:04

    and the mindset tools and the the.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:10

    following the plan, which was totally, like, just, this is how I want to live my life, still is.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:19

    I lost 82 pounds.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:21

    The choke.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:25

    Just under a year.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:28

    And I felt amazing.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:31

    I looked amazing, I felt amazing, I had so much energy. It did not feel hard to do it to me at all. Like, it was just… it was fantastic.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:41

    And my thought was, this is it. I've lost my weight for the last time.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:46

    And if you go back on my social media, I will tell you, I can teach you how to lose weight for the last time, which is true.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:56

    As long as…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:39:59

    You stay committed to your health and wellness.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:40:05

    Journey.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:40:07

    as a lifelong practice. What happened with me is I well, we moved.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:40:17

    I had a new job.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:40:20

    we were house hunting, I was working on my coaching practice, and my health and wellness.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:40:30

    Practice.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:40:32

    got overlooked. I became very passive with the way that I was eating, the way that I was moving, all of the things, and have gradually gained, um…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:40:44

    Enough of the weight back to…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:40:47

    not be super comfortable. So, anyway…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:40:50

    But I kept… I keep writing down. I have my habit tracker, and my habit tracker always has the habits that I want to… that are important in…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:00

    being at the weight that I want to be.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:03

    And what I…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:08

    Recognized was that I was not committed to it. I was not invested in it anymore. I was interested.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:17

    I am interested in getting back down to a certain weight and a certain size clothes.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:24

    I have not.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:26

    been invested in it.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:29

    And so I, I decided after last week's podcast, to be honest, okay.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:37

    I want to be invested again. I want to invest in this, and I want this to be a lifelong thing that I am invested and committed to.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:48

    So, then what? And also, I want to say, if… like, we can be interested in so many things.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:41:56

    We can be interested in a lot of different things. And when we're interested in them, we might consume content about it. We might listen to podcasts, watch shows, read about it, talk about it.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:42:10

    Do some investigation and research and enjoy those things.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:42:15

    Which is totally fine. Not a problem at all. It's when.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:42:19

    You are.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:42:22

    Holding yourself accountable for doing things at a committed level.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:42:28

    When you're really just interested in it. That's when there is incongruity.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:42:34

    Incongruency? Incongruency.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:42:38

    that's when you're out of alignment. And it might look like negative self-talk.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:42:46

    When you go to put on a pair of pants that get too tight.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:42:49

    thinking, I shouldn't have… I shouldn't be this weight, these pants should be tight, shouldn't be tight, whatever, when really, you just haven't been committed to that part of your life, you've just been…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:01

    interested in it.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:02

    So.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:03

    Anyway, I decided…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:06

    that I am recommitting.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:09

    I am reinvested in.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:12

    My health and wellness and physical fitness level and the size of my body, I want it to be smaller. And that is not a problem, people. That is not a problem if you want to lose weight and feel better.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:29

    So then what? Okay, I recognize.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:33

    Shanna, you haven't really been committed to this, you haven't really been interested, no matter how much you talk about it, or you haven't been invested, no matter how much you talk about it and think about it, you have only been.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:46

    interested. You have only been at the interest level.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:43:50

    And I decide, OK, I'm ready. I'm recommitting. Then what do I do? What do I do from there? And I'm going to tell you what I did.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:00

    So, I already know, like, I have all of the tools in my toolbox, but the toolbox has been…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:08

    collecting dust, you know, in the garage, because.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:12

    I have not been invested in using them.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:15

    So what I did first was.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:19

    Coincidentally, it was the beginning of a new month. So I…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:23

    Decided what are, what are the practices?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:29

    In this thing that I'm committed to and in this instance it is.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:36

    I mean, it basically comes down to losing weight, but within losing weight, there are a lot of elements.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:42

    So what is it, what are the practices that I'm committing to?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:46

    that are going to contribute to the loss of weight.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:44:51

    And so I decided what those are for me, the things that I'm going to do consistently. And I set up my habit tracker. And some of those, the top section is the weight loss.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:45:05

    Um, the middle section is just kind of general stuff, and then I want to create something every day.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:45:11

    So, I have my habit tracker set up. I crossed out the first two days, because that's when I set it up on… I set it up yesterday.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:45:20

    on August 3rd. Today is August 4th, and I haven't gone through, but I will, um, go through, and I do believe that I get hearts. I use hearts.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:45:32

    I do believe I get hearts on all of those things from yesterday. So, I set up my habit tracker, and if you don't have this.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:45:41

    you can get my habit tracker. I ripped this one out of my planner. Um, you can get this by going to the podcast resources link, and you can find it in the podcast resources folder.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:45:55

    And download yours, and get it, and it has…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:45:59

    Spots for the habits that you want to track.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:03

    it has… you write down your 90-day goal, what is your 90-day goal, and then break that down into a 30-day goal, what is your 30-day goal. And then I have a little section here that says.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:15

    These habits are important because and then I went through because I want to remember why am I doing this? Why does this even matter? Right?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:23

    your why behind what you're wanting to accomplish matters, and I encourage lots of… lots of whys to… to pull from.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:34

    I kind of, I'll refer to it as a Y bank.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:37

    So then, I, in my banner, I…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:43

    Life on purpose.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:45

    Planner, 90 days. Plan your life 90 days at a time.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:50

    Um, it's on Amazon.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:54

    I…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:46:54

    got my planner out, this was yesterday, and I wrote my gratitude, wrote what I wanted to accomplish for the day.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:03

    And reiterated my goals. And then on the journal page, I just kind of —.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:11

    listed out. I wrote, I am committing to wellness.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:15

    This was yesterday, and…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:18

    I listed out the things that I'm going to prioritize, which are…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:24

    things in…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:25

    On my habit tracker, what are those things that I'm going to prioritize?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:31

    in this… in this area that I'm committing to, my wellness.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:35

    And whatever it is for you, if you are committing to something different or investing in something different.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:42

    What are those things that you're committing to doing on a regular basis? And when I'm doing this.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:50

    Like, okay.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:47:51

    I have no added sugar and no processed foods. Is that how I'm going to live my whole entire life? No, it's not. At some point, and probably at some point this month, I'm going to have added sugar. I'm going to have some kind of processed foods.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:48:08

    But as a practice, I really don't want to be consuming added sugar and processed foods. I would like to eat.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:48:18

    Whole Foods that…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:48:22

    once were alive.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:48:24

    Whether that's meat, vegetables, plants, whatever.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:48:30

    So ideally, you're setting yourself up not just to achieve a goal, but how do I want to live my life?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:48:41

    at the level when I achieve the goal. Like, because the thing that's going to get you there is the thing that is also going to sustain you there.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:48:50

    So what are the what are the practices, what are the habits, what are the rhythms that I want to be incorporating and practicing in my life that are not just going to get me to that goal, but then help me to maintain that goal and to stay at that goal and to be that person.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:49:06

    person to be the person that wears size blah-biddy-blah or weighs within the range of whatever.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:49:16

    So how do I want to set up my life? What are the things that I want to incorporate into my life in order to be that person?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:49:24

    And I just think that matters, because if you are just trying to reach a goal.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:49:30

    Then you can do some pretty crazy things to get there, but then once you stop.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:49:34

    the weight goes right back up, right? So what are the things that I'm committing to just incorporating into my life?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:49:43

    Um, and then…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:49:45

    When I am…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:49:47

    transitioning from interested to invested or committed.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:49:54

    I… I want to come up with thoughts that I want to practice. Again, my whys matter so much, reminding myself of why it matters. Why do I want to say no?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:50:07

    When I really want to say yes in the moment.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:50:11

    Reminding me of why it's important.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:50:15

    why my choices really do matter and impact who I am.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:50:20

    and what I'm casting votes for. Every… everything that we do is casting a vote either for the person that we want to be, or not. And I want to be casting votes for.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:50:32

    a person who is taking impeccable care of herself. Which reminds me, that was one of my thoughts that I wrote down a lot.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:50:42

    Taking when I take impeccable care of myself.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:50:51

    Everything goes better. I can't remember exactly the thought. It was something along those lines. I have to go find that thought because it was a really good one.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:00

    So.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:02

    I just wanted to remind myself, my body matters. This is the only one that I get.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:08

    Being able to move with ease matters. As I'm aging.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:15

    As I'm aging.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:17

    I'm feeling a little bit more stiff. It's not as easy to move as it used to be.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:24

    And it's, I wrote this and it's up to me.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:29

    To take care of me.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:32

    Right?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:33

    And then I wrote, I am so excited to feel better.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:38

    I am so excited to fit back into clothes that I like that are hanging in this closet, or up in bins.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:46

    This is going to be amazing.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:49

    how you talk about that thing.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:52

    that you are committing to or investing in, that matters.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:51:57

    If I'm like, oh, I'm going to do this again. It's going to be so hard.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:03

    My body hears those words and starts creating emotions that make it feel hard.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:10

    I am so excited to feel better. I am so excited to fit back into clothes I like. This is going to be amazing!

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:19

    And then I reminded myself.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:21

    I can say no to what doesn't serve me.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:27

    And it will get easier and easier.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:32

    And I… and I wrote, I'm just being so transparent and honest and vulnerable. You're… you're welcome for this. I wrote, I have so got this. God, I need your help.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:43

    Kind of reminds me of, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. God, I have so got this, please help me.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:50

    So that's what I wrote down. So.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:52

    Make a plan.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:52:55

    Once you have decided that you're going to commit, make a plan. My plan is the things that I've listed out in my habit tracker.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:53:03

    I'm using my planner to remind myself why I'm doing it, who I want to be, what it is I'm focused on. The habit tracker is great for that. This is reminding me every day when I look at it, I use it as the bookmark in my planner.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:53:18

    This is reminding me what I'm focusing on. What are the things that I want to be doing? Who am I becoming? Who is it that I want to be?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:53:29

    I want to be somebody who does these things.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:53:34

    And why does it matter? And I use my planner for that, to remind me of my goal. I write my goal down every day.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:53:44

    I'm reminding myself…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:53:46

    To stay in in a mindset that is going to help me to stay on track, to help me to look forward to doing the things and remind me like, yeah, at first it's going to be hard to say no.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:04

    Whatever it is.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:05

    My daughter-in-law yesterday just made some gluten-free muffins. She baked them in the oven, they smelled delicious, she took them out, they looked delicious. I really wanted.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:17

    To try what?

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:18

    And I told myself, no.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:22

    Because I'm invested. I'm committed. Can I eat a muffin? Absolutely. If I write on my planner, I'm going to have a muffin today.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:31

    And I follow that plan. Excellent. But yesterday, my commitment was…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:37

    No processed food, no added sugar.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:40

    And I did it! And I get to put little hearts on all of my…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:45

    my habit tracker things today.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:51

    So…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:54

    Have a commit, decide. It starts with a decision.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:54:58

    Okay, I'm noticing.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:01

    that I actually do want to achieve this thing.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:04

    I have been interested, but I have not been committed and invested.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:08

    and I'm deciding I want to be invested. It's time I'm ready to commit. I'm ready to do.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:16

    the things. I'm ready to say no to things.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:20

    That in the moment, I really want to say yes to you.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:25

    And I'm all in. I'm ready. And all in, not black and white, not all or nothing. But I am invested. I'm committed. I'm not going to do it perfectly.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:36

    And the expectation is never perfection. Perfection.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:40

    is not even attainable, so take it off the table.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:44

    Consistency. Practicing. Practicing consistency. Practicing doing the things. So commit. Make the decision.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:55:55

    Make a plan.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:00

    And…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:03

    And shift your mindset.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:07

    And use tools that are going to help you.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:10

    So, if you have the mindset, it's going to be hard. I've never… I never have lost weight and kept it off. Oh, here we go again. Like, that is not a helpful mindset. You want to shift your mindset.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:25

    Into one that is.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:29

    Um, abundance, growth.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:31

    mindset oriented that is helping you to.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:38

    To operate from a place of desire, operate from a place of certainty, operate from a place of excitement rather than dread.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:48

    Restriction.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:51

    Disappointment, fear. Fear is a big one. So.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:56:57

    Your mindset matters a ton when you're doing any of this work.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:02

    And, if you would like somebody to walk alongside you, once you have decided to go from being interested in something to committed or invested in it.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:14

    I encourage you, go schedule a RightFit call, and we can talk about whatever it is that you're wanting to, um…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:21

    To incorporate into your life, to achieve, accomplish, become.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:28

    Um, and I can… we can talk about how coaching can help that, and if you're feeling stuck, and you just don't know.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:36

    You just don't know what you want or where you want to go from here.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:41

    Coaching.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:42

    Is an excellent.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:45

    thing to, um, at least explore. So, a RightFit call would be great for that.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:51

    Thank you so much for being here on this, um…

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:57:58

    What is it? They're calling it yapping a yap episode.

    [Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 13:58:05

    Anyway, thank you. Thank you so much for being here. Remember that life coaching is life-changing, one renewed thought at a time.
