There’s been a lot of change the last few months, hasn’t there?

Feels like just when we start to get our bearings again, here comes another wave to knock us off our feet.

Change is something I’m more comfortable with than a lot of people. I change my hair, my nails, my wardrobe…if Miles and I up and decide we wanna move someplace new, we will.

Fear of change isn’t something I let stop me…and in many cases, I welcome change.

But even when I don’t fear it, or when I know it NEEDS to happen, it can be hard…if not always on me, then on others.

Code Red’s changed a LOT in the last few years. I started out in my Boise office. Just me, sometimes with help from my mom. I only had one-on-one clients. I’d print out their custom programs on my own printer, and spiral bind them myself.

After I went $100,000 into debt to hire my first business coach, she helped me take Code Red onto the Internet. I wrote my book, The Code Red Revolution. The 10 Pound Takedown Challenge was born.

After that I brought Cari on full-time, then started bringing on Leaders, except they were originally called Code Red Coaches. We switched to calling them Leaders once things changed again, and I brought on what you now know as Code Red Certified Coaches.

Over the years I’ve hired more staff, more subcontractors…I reach people in more ways, I speak on more stages, I’m on more podcasts…

Like I said, a lot of changes.

See, in order to bring Code Red’s hope and healing to the world, stuff HAS to change. Code Red HAS to grow, to adapt, to bring on new people, and part ways with people whose time with us has ended (including some people I’d have bet my life on being with Code Red for many more years).

There’s a saying out there, about the fact the only constant in life is change. Totally true. Life changes whether we like it or not, whether we want it it or not, and in ways we’re not always thrilled with (and that people around us may get upset about).

It’s hard sometimes. I get it.

So what do you? How do you handle it?

Focus on the one thing you always have control of: YOURSELF. Your actions. Your decisions.

Let yourself feel the stuff you need to feel. Eating everything in sight, drinking, binging on TV, or other numbing behaviors, won’t get rid of your emotions.

They’ll simmer away like a ticking time bomb under all that numbing and tear you apart. Let ’em out and let ’em go!

Then pick yourself up and face forward. The past isn’t coming back. And your future’s determined by what you’re doing TODAY, right now, in this moment.

Seriously, ask yourself: Is what you’re doing gonna take you where you wanna be?

If the answer’s no, do things differently.

And hang in there. Stuff’s changed before, and it will again. All the more reason to enjoy what you’ve got now.

Appreciate it, so that when change hits again, you have no regrets.
