7 Steps Up Personal Development Tips from Rachele

Rachele has put together a special series of tips on personal development called 7 Steps Up to share and we’re putting all the lessons here in this blog post for you to easily take in.

Step 1: CHANGE

The first level is CHANGE and Rachele shares some great tips and dispells some myths about this topic in the clip up above. How do you handle change? Are you armed with the right support system to help you get through and thrive through this season of life? How do you handle set backs when you fall off track?

Step 2: FAITH

Today I’m pushing the comfort zone for many and sharing my personal take on the importance of FAITH.

It’s a topic that a lot of people shy away from or get uncomfortable around, but I truly believe that faith gives us the comfort, guidance and security we are all truly craving.

That doesn’t mean we all need to believe the exact same or we can’t have differences.

It’s about tapping into a deeper part of yourself and knowing you are here on purpose, for a purpose

Step 3: FOUNDATIONS

What are those small, daily habits you do that incrementally improve your wellbeing? A lot of focus here is on the morning routine. Right when you get up, each day, you get to to choose where and how you spend your energy.

Are you jumping immediately onto your phone and checking emails?

Or are you tuning in first thing and sitting quietly, journaling, reading, listening to a special podcast?
Having solid foundations are essential for you on your path of personal growth and reaching a higher potential. The more you are able to dial these in, so much so that you aren’t even thinking about them and they become as automatic as brushing your teeth, the better off you’ll be and have more mental and physical space to focus more on what’s important to you.

The importance of foundations cannot be stressed enough. Incorporating more positive habits into your life, over time, will set you on a higher trajectory and you ever believed possible.
The principle of 1% improvement each day is great to think about when it comes to foundations, too!

You don’t want to try and change too much too fast, but what you can slowly improve upon each day so that you are making those micro-adjustments to your thoughts and actions that help you better align with your passion and purpose?

STEP 4: FELLOWSHIP

It can be so easy in this day and age to not have true connections to others. You can work remotely, have groceries delivered, you name it, there’s been a way to use tech in a way that has removed some social interaction that’s been a part of our evolution.

But guess what, as humans, we are built to be part of community! It is vital to your mental well being.

What kind of groups and communities are you putting your energy into? Have you felt disconnected lately?

It’s been said and studied often in social sciences and pyschology, who you are surrounded by has a direct effect on how you show up in this world, it’s so important that you choose wisely.

The law of averages is the theory that the result of any given situation will be the average of all possible outcomes. Motivational speaker Jim Rohn takes this theory and relates it to human connection and says that we become the average of the five people we spend the most time with. What’s your top 5 right now?

Fellowship is so deeply interwined as part of my self development and why it’s part of this 7 steps up series. Without fellowship and connection, we are missing an essential part of the human experience.

STEP 5: PLAY OFFENSE

You don’t need to be at rock bottom to get help or wait for something really serious to happen with your health to make a change.

When hit with a challenge, I want to come in on offense. What that means is that I have the tools, training, and coaches in place that willl help me overcome obstacles.

Having that offense in place arms you to sprial UP rather than down when things get shaky.

Self work is all about being able to go through the seasons of life. When I first started with a life coach it was uncomfortable at first. You get to learn a deeper side of yourself when you go through this kind of journey.

The uncomforableness is GOOD for you. You have to put in the work, even when you don’t feel like it, to get the benefits but it’s oh so worth it!

I empower you today to take an offensive approach to your mental, physical, and spiritually. Have coaches and people you look up to in the fields you are looking for growth in – for all of these parts of your life.

It’s never too late to start playing offense, just like in sports, it happens one play, one action at a time so you can walk through the storms as they come.

I’d love to be part of your OFFENSE in this season.

LEVEL 6: THE PROCESS

This afternoon we take in level 6: What the Health Industry Does Not Want You to Understand with Rachele for her 7 Steps Up series.

So far our levels have been: CHANGE, FAITH, FOUNDATIONS, FELLOWSHIP, and PLAY OFFENSE.

Level 6 is The Process

Wake up every day and know that the work is in the process.

The end goal is often not your end goal, often it’s still not enough or where you want to be. Why is this the case? Because we aren’t enjoying and being present in the journey.

You need to connect with the process and bring awareness into your life. Quiet the voices – outside and in your head – that are holding you up.

The process is 99% of your life. Your morning habits, what you do during each day. This is all the process and foundation you are setting in your life.

Tune in to learn more about the significance of focusing on the process.

This week we will be wrapping up this special mini series with the final level of the 7 Steps Up series here in our newsletter and on all of our social channels: Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.

LEVEL 7: YOU

Level 7 is YOU. If it’s going to be, it’s up to me. You are the one that needs to put in the work. You have to have that iron will, grit, tenacity and know the habits and choices you make today are creating your future self. Only you can do the work that positively will impact your mind, body, and spirit.

THANK YOU 🙏 so much for all the input and for supporting this series. We’d love to hear from you about how these tips work for you!
