Carla Contreras:

Hey, it's chef carla and welcome to show up fully. This is a podcast where I share what it's like to show up for your real life if you don't know me I'm a food stylist photographer and health coach. You can find me, @itscarlacontreras on Instagram and more information in today's show notes this episode is a podcast. It's where I share a quote that's inspired me and I invite you to apply it to your life. This quote is by Jim Curtis he is the head coach and head of brand at I I N Institute for integrative nutrition. This school is near and dear to my heart. It's where I did my health coach training back in 2010 and yes I learned dietary theories and how to be a health coach and really how to be my own first client. But for me, the biggest thing was.

My spiritual awakening that happened in a Starbucks in the financial district while holding a red ipod listening to a lecture by the late Debbie Ford her work was transformative for me. And I have a podcast where I tell you about this and my health coach journey I'll put a link to that in the show notes Debbie's work if you didn't know about it is all about the light and the dark it's embracing all of you all parts of you and this really reminds me of Jim's book the stimulati experience. It's his healing journey from being diagnosed with Ms. and going to see different healers and coaches and working with people and that's his stimulati.

It's really, it's just a fascinating book. And the quote that I picked for today to share with you is from that book and it was his morning affirmation to himself and it's interesting because I started to apply this to a lot of different areas in my life in the book. He says. That he used it in the morning and he would get out of bed and say if it I can do anything isn't that a powerful quote and so think about this that you could apply this to all sorts of different situations in your life like effortffit. I can do anything I can start a new career effort I can do anything I can do my website effort. It I can do anything I can figure out this new I g tiktok you insert the social media thing you can do it.

And I think that this is a powerful way to look at life in general. Not only from a healing perspective but from a practical life perspective your relationships your spirituality your work in the world. How you want to show up fully. You know this is the name of this podcast show up fully. The reason that I named it this is that we show up for all of the things like Debbie Ford said the light and the dark like it's not all rainbows and unicorns over here. You know I feel like this quote from Jim. Effort I can do anything is in complete alignment with show up fully. You know and whatever statement or whatever quote resonates with you or whatever question resonates with you go for it I'll put journal prompts in the show notes. You can dig a little bit deeper and maybe you want to ask yourself the question.

How do I want to show up right now? That's one of the questions that I've been asking myself lately and I feel like in tandem this goes really well with effort. I can do anything I just created a show up fully refresh with a free journal and a 5 day challenge that you can sign up for to support you in this journey. Let me know if you have any questions if this resonated with you please share it. Text message email on social media again I'm on Instagram @itscarlacontreras I'm sending you and yours so much.
