Sorry I was MIA last week! I had lots of good thoughts but just didn’t get them put into print! 
Today’s post actually came out of my quiet time a few days ago. 2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
Now what does that have to do with T-Tapp?!
Well, I take it from that verse that we are transformed by beholding. That’s a whole other post!
The same principle applies.
If I am looking at how far I have to go, what little progress I made compared to so-and so, how much I have to change (eating, exercising, cellulite, body brushing, health choices)…..
Beholding means: to mirror oneself, to see reflected, behold as in a glass
In the spiritual sense, we want to be beholding Jesus, His Truth, and become more and more like Him.
In the T-Tapp sense 
we want to be beholding, looking at, reflecting, mirroring the truth–that I can lose this fat/weight/inches/sizes, I can get healthier, I can get rid of this cellulite, I can make better choices in my eating, I can make time for exercise.
It all comes down to what are you looking at?
And thinking about?
Our mind really does have a lot to do with it. I often can’t teach a whole Total Workout–most of my class is not ready for that, and quite frankly, my adrenals probably can’t handle it!
But do I despair and decide I can’t become a T-Tapp Trainer?
No! I can teach the move “mentally”, going through it as if I would at certifications. (That was a great suggestion to me by my mentor, Michelle Barbuto!).
I can do 1 or 2 moves a day, talk-teaching them as if I had a class.
Sometimes I think we tend to focus on what we can’t do, vs. what we can!
You can’t do a standing workout because of a knee, hip or other issue?
You can do MORE Chair or SunRay TappCore!
You can’t do a Total Workout due to stamina or time?
You can get results even with “just” Basic Workout Plus or even splitting Total up over three days!
You can’t make huge changes to your eating without getting overwhelmed?
You can make small changes–drink a bit more water, 1 less pop or coffee a day, switch to dark chocolate from milk chocolate, use a bit less sugar in those cookies, eat 1 more veggie a day–choose ONE good thing and get started on it!
You can’t afford Teresa’s alfalfa (which is the best, imho!)?
You can at least body brush (make sure it’s a natural bristle brush), and you can buy dead sea salts at Wal-Mart that aren’t too pricey and do salt masks for at least 5 minutes two to three times per week!
You don’t think you’ll ever lose those sizes?
You CAN–one step at a time! If you knew that in 4 1/2 years you would lose 9 sizes and gain better health, making small changes to your eating as you went along, doing basically 15-20 minutes a day for maybe an average or 4 -5 times a week, with some time off—if you knew that here, at the start, would you go for it? Would it be worth it?
Of course!
But we don’t always know where the journey will take us. The best thing to do is to keep our goals before us, but not have it tied to tightly to a time frame. A general time frame is fine (lose 2 sizes by next summer), but hold it loosely! Be on the lookout for those things you just can’t measure–better health, better sleep, more energy, happier outlook, less PMS :)…..
Be encouraged by other success stories, but don’t compare yours. Yours is YOUR story. It will encourage others, but there might be a special group you are really going to encourage! (More to lose, less to lose, busy moms, those with chronic fatigue, or adrenal fatigue, slow to lose)
I have more to talk about in the T-Tapp Journey, but for now, I ask again….
What are you looking at?
The answer to that question may determine your true success! Remember, yes you CAN!
