Fear, Courage and Possibly the The Coolest News, Like, Ever!

Greetings friends!

I know that many of you are probably very curious about whether or not Bright Line Eating might be a fit for you at this point, but you are hesitant to make such a big change in your life, such a big financial commitment, or you are just plain terrified of giving up sugar, giving up flour, giving up eating in between meals or weighing your portions. And that’s totally okay!

I was scared sh!#less for 2 years before I dove in and decided to experiment with it!

That’s why I’m so freaking excited to tell you about what’s coming up in BLE. If you haven’t heard yet, Susan Peirce Thomson (I finally got the spelling of her name right!) has written a book and it’s being published really soon.

In honor of the publishing of the book, BLE is having a 14 day Bright Line Eating Challenge.

Big deal, right?

It’s like everyone and their sister has a cleanse, a 30-day Challenge, a 7-day Challenge, a Reboot, blah, blah, blah.

That’s not the cool part.

The cool part is as follows.

It’s just $29.00. 

And for that nominal amount of money you get the following:

1. a pre-ordered copy of Susan Peirce Thompson’s book, Bright Line Eating which will be released March 21st.

2.  one free month of BLE‘s new membership platform when it is released later this year.3. The BLE 14 Day Challenge, which is an introduction into to the Bright Line Eating program. You will receive 14 days of specially designed content allowing you to experience the Bright Line Eating way of life.

 

For anyone interested in whether or not BLE might work in your life, this seems like a total no-brainer to me. But in case you are still scared, I want to share with you a few quotes from some really cool people. These quotes have informed my life’s path in the last few years in a really profound way, and my life has taken a pretty cool turn because of this simple idea.
It’s amazing that they don’t teach this stuff in school. This same idea has been expressed by so many intelligent folks that it seems to me it’s a universal truth. It’s key living an extraordinary life, but I sure didn’t act this way until pretty recently.“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.”
-Franklin D. Roosevelt

“Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear; The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.”

-Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries”I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
-Nelson Mandela

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
-Mark Twain

“Courage is not an absence of fear. Courage is fear walking. Courage is noticing your fear, recognizing your fear and doing what you want to do anyway.”
-I think this is Brene Brown, but maybe it was Susan David, or maybe it was just me. I really don’t know anymore!

Here’s how I understand this popular sentiment. We don’t get to conquer fear. There is no such thing as fearless. It’s a freakin’ myth! All of those people out there who are killin’ it? They are fearful! They just do what seems right to them at any given time in their life anyway, shaking in their boots the whole time if they have to!I know this the best things that I’ve done recently were all done with some level of fear, oftentimes gripping, painful fear. Public speaking, writing about my truth on Healthy Girl’s Kitchen, leaving the comfort of my profession of 14 years, releasing multiple relationships that no longer worked for me and yes, joining my first Bright Line Eating boot camp.

But now I know. When I sense fear in myself, I just have to more forward and do what I need to do anyway. So far it’s worked out for the best. It’s all an experiment anyway, and iven if I fail, it’s a great learning experience. We are all a sample size of one. We just need to try different things to find what works for US.

Will Bright Line Eating be your thing? Who knows? But you’re never going to find out unless you give it a try.

What is fear holding you back from?
