I started this blog and with It Works not really sure what the outcome would be. I didn’t know if I would be successful, all I knew was God was pushing me. He was pushing me to step out and one, start a blog which I have always wanted to do, and two, find a way to reach people. I actually had a blog before but never kept up with it. I wasn’t sure what to write because it didn’t have a very clear direction. Lately, as I have grown not only in my physical journey but in my spiritual one, I just felt that I had something to share. That I could help people. That I could make a difference. That I could show people how to let Christ into their physical health.
A blog was step one, and more of a personal thing for me. I wanted a hobby, and a place to share my thoughts. I also wanted to help people, but I knew that I would need a way to reach the people. I looked at several different companies, and thought about and researched essential oils, advocare, and herbalife. None of them pulled at me. I just knew that those companies weren’t for me. That does not mean I don’t think highly of all of them because I do. I think they all have great qualities, but I just hadn’t found my spot yet.
I can’t tell you exactly why It Works stuck. All I know is that I couldn’t shake them. It Works was the perfect combination for me. Great, healthy, and natural products and a way to make extra income easily. With It Works I am not selling, I am sharing. I am a product of these products. Before starting this blog, and using It Works products I was a tired and honestly felt isolated. I was fueling my body, and I was training it but I was still tired. I couldn’t wait for my kids to nap, and when they woke up from their nap, I couldn’t wait for them to go to bed so I could sleep. I just wasn’t the mom I wanted to be or the wife I wanted to be. I was so tired by the end of the day, I had nothing left for Hayden.
When I started using It Works supplements, my entire day started changing. I use New You which helps with muscle recovery, deep sleep, and memory. I sleep better, and I am not as sore when I wake up, so I wake rested! Not hobbling around, not angry because I have another day ahead of me, but excited to get up and get going! I also use Thermofit, a natural metabolic booster. I have energy now. Not like the crazy energy where your eye twitches, you get itchy, and you can’t sit still. I don't crash either! The natural energy that just gets you through the day. I also drink our Greens drink daily. It is a powder with 8 servings of fruit and vegetables, green tea, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and a probiotic. Seriously Greens is a life changing product for me! My digestions is better, my skin is better, and my energy is so much better. I am a different person. A different mom and spouse. I can say that 100% without a doubt in my mind, that using Thermofit, New You, and Greens has made me a better mom and wife. I have energy. I want to go to bed at 10 pm or 11 pm not 7 pm. I want my kids to wake up, so we can load up and get out of the house. No more tired mom and wife here! Do I have moments still? Of course I do, but the overwhelming evidence points to increased energy, leaner muscle, better digestion, and an all-around happier, healthier woman!
Another thing I really struggled with was feeling lonely. I felt very isolated from everyone. I am home all day every day with two tiny humans and a crazy old dog. I go to the gym, but that is kind of my time. I need to branch out more there for sure, but at the end of the day I also kind of resented Hayden because he got to leave every day. I realize these emotions are not always valid. It is not Hayden’s fault that he gets to talk to people all day long, and I don’t. I didn’t treat him differently because he did, I am just being honest with you guys and saying being home all day long without a break can sometimes be hard on your mental and emotional state. Don’t get me wrong, I chose to stay home and I love it but all jobs come with some negative aspects. The positive aspects definitely outweigh the negative, but I am just sharing with you the reality. I get lonely. I get tired. I get frustrated. I am human. Just like anyone else does in their job.
The first time I wrote a blog post those feelings started to subside. I was sharing myself and my talents with others. Even if no one read it, I was still getting them out there. I have grown even closer to Christ through the blog because I am praying even more for the words and direction of my posts to be pleasing to Him. The more I learned and researched It Works, and started to share with others, the less isolated I felt. I am now interacting with multiple people daily. Whether it is clients I am working with, or my team members who are helping others. I am no longer going entire days without talking to adults! Mommas and daddys know what a blessing that can be!
What I am trying to say, is It Works and this blog have been life changing for me. I can’t thank you guys enough for you encouragement through your words, and your support through your purchases. I am loving what I am doing. I love that I have a hobby, and a way to use the talents God gave me. I love you guys. I love people. I love helping and encouraging others. I love it all. I love that I can feel Christ moving even more in my life, and see Him working in my clients and team member’s lives.
If I didn’t touch on this last subject I wouldn't be sharing all the reasons why I started a blog and with It Works. We are a single income family. Do we struggle financially? No. We have everything we need or want. God has blessed Hayden with wonderful jobs that pay well. Is there room for lots of extras? No. Do you need those things to be happy? No. But man aren’t they fun! I hate spending money. I hate spending money on myself or the house. I cringe. I feel guilt because they seem silly. We both drove our cars into the ground because they were paid off and didn’t want a car payment. My point is, you give up the extras or when you do the extras you are a little more strapped that month. I wanted to find a way to have more fun. To provide our family with extra. To shop for my little people when I felt like it, or buy an ottoman for that spot in my living room that has been empty for over a year. A way to go on a vacation without it going on credit. Again, we have been blessed to travel and have had the money to do so, but it was always with sacrifice. Like Hayden working over-time, or us cutting back in places to pay it off. Is that normal? Yes, I know it is but I grew up traveling a lot. I want that for my little family. I have the desire to see the world, and show my kids life outside of Texas.
I also wanted to do more for Christ. I would love to go on mission trips, and give to more charities. You might be wondering if I have achieve all of this. No, but I am on my way. I have made more than I thought I could. I hit our $1000 bonus in 6 weeks. I am already making enough to pay for our new to us Suburban every month. What a blessing that is! That bonus is paying for our trip to Cape Cod in June. I am on my way to a second $1000. I don’t mean to brag, that is not my intention.
My intention is this, if you have any interest in getting healthy, while helping others get healthy, and making extra income whether it be for fun or out of necessity, It Works may be for you. The past 7 weeks have been such a blessing. I can’t even tell you. My worth is in Christ. My purpose is to serve him to the best of my ability. I do that by staying home and raising loving Godly men, being a wife to my husband, and now by sharing Christ and my passion for wellness through this blog and with It Works!
