Pokemon Go…any bites?? Opinions?? Thoughts?? First thing that pops into your head when you hear, Pokemon Go? Fun/annoying/exercise… I think I already talked about Pokemon Go on here a while ago, so I won’t go on forever about it. I just have to say…”I WANT MY PHONE BACK!!!” And that is all. (Yes, I’m somewhat or highly joking. Yes, it was my choice to get it on my phone for my son and I. Yes, it’s my phone and I can have it if I want it (and I do take it if/when I need it). It just occasionally makes me question my sanity when I made the decision to get this game for my son and myself. He’s only 6 and gets so excited about it and I worry about my phone getting damaged. I take good care of my phone. Because it’s never been broken and neither has the iPad that he uses, I think he doesn’t truly get that they are not toys and that they can break very easily. I always say, “be very careful” and, of course, he says, “I will!” However, those are just words, if you know what I mean. Of course he’s going to say that. What else would he say?! “I’m going to run, jump and play around while I have your phone, hopefully I don’t drop it!” Yah, right. So, I don’t see a solution for this. There’s no way in bleep that we’re getting our 6 year old his own phone! NOT going to happen. Especially not just so he can play a game. That’d be ridiculous! I guess I just have to try to be with him while he’s playing and watch him like a hawk. If I see him being lackadaisical I will take my phone away for a certain amount of time, so that he understands and learns (hopefully) that he must be careful or he can’t play his game. (yes, I actually just used the word lackadaisical in a sentence!!!) And that is all on Pokemon Go. Really, that’s it! PS: We caught Pikachu yesterday!!

I’ve been so on the ball with my posts the last few days. All this talk about self-care, being present, parenting, and tonight I talk about Pokemon Go – lol. I guess that I can’t be serious all the time. One of the things I do want to get more serious about is personal development. Not like workshops or conferences or that kind of thing. What I’m referring to is reading good books that help you improve yourself. One of the things that I really love about Beachbody is that they encourage Personal Development. Actually, encourage is not the best word. Reading personal development is one of their “vital behaviours”. They mean vital, as in, absolutely vital to your business. That if you’re stumbling over certain things, struggling with getting certain things completed, if you’re too stressed, if you’re stuck, well I could go on all day. The point is, if you’re struggling with anything there’s likely a book about it that can help you overcome whatever the problem is, even business problems. There are many PD books for business people. I just love that this is a priority for this company! They want to help people and want you to help people. They don’t want to turn you into a “salesperson”. They want you to get to know people. Their situation their struggles. So that you’re not just selling them a product. You figure out where they’re at and what they need to help them move forward. What would work for them, specifically is important. Beachbody has SO many health and fitness programs, products and supplements that it’s not just making a sale. If you don’t set your people up for success and support them all along the way, you haven’t done your job. So this also appeals to me. The problem for me is expanding my network. Where do you find these “people” to help? Helping people is right up my alley. I just need to decide if this is something that I truly want to legitimately give a try. I know I’ve been doing it for a while. However, I’ve just been using the programs (although I recently fell off the wagon) and, of course, drinking Shakeology. I have been reading some of the books for PD too. However, I haven’t been giving the business side of things my all; if you know what I mean. Of course at Summit, all we talked and heard about was the business side of things. I mean, that’s the whole reason, or at least the main reason, people go. Is that why I went? Is this something I’m going to try to do? I need to seriously decide. Summit helped me to see it in a different light. Seeing the CEO and creators of the products and the trainers and hearing them speak changed my perspective. As was obvious in one of my posts, I learned more about the drink, Shakeology and all that’s in it. But that’s not really what I’m talking about here. I’m talking about these kind, compassionate, dedicated people who want to help make the world a healthier and better place. They truly care about helping people! I was surprised by their humanity, if that makes sense. So many people think, “Oh, that’s MLM (multi level marketing)” or  “It’s just a pyramid scheme” (true pyramid schemes are illegal). I feel like I don’t want to be judged the instant someone hears what I do! (If I actually am going to commit to doing it!) This from the girl who just wrote about “not caring what other people think!” I am trying to get better…well end my sentence right there! If I use the word “trying” it’s a cop-out. Saying “trying” gives me an out. An excuse. If I mess up I can just say “I’m trying”…Ug! I need to speak assuredly and say, “I don’t care about what other people think.” Not, “I’m trying not to care about what other people think.” Do you hear the difference there?? When you add the word trying?? Here’s my perfectly relevant Yoda quote, “Do. Or do not. There is no Try.” (I use this one on my kids too! So it’s only fair that I use it on myself!!) It’s late and I should be sleeping!! I just need to make a decision about Beachbody…I can’t continue this half-assed approach! It’s either yes or no. And if it’s yes, I need to commit to working a certain number of hours a day or week or something. I have to get organized about it or it just won’t happen. We have a long drive to BC on Saturday. That gives me plenty of time to think things through. I could say more, but I’m just too tired. So, until tomorrow. 😴😴😴😴
