Why Are You in Such a Hurry? Let’s Fix That.
Why Are We Always Rushing? (And How to Finally Slow Down)
Why are we always in such a rush?
I had an eye-opening conversation recently about how we’re constantly chasing the next thing—the next goal, the next achievement, the next phase of life—without stopping to appreciate what’s happening right now.
And let me be real with you: I’ve been feeling this rush myself lately.
Between scaling my business, booking more speaking engagements, and helping more women achieve their first pull-up, I’ve caught myself anxiously living in the future—waiting for the next milestone, the next breakthrough.
But here’s what I realized:
When we live in the future, we live in anxiety.
When we live in the past, we live in depression.
The only place we truly have control? Right now.
What Happens When We Stop Rushing?
When we slow down, we allow ourselves to actually experience the journey, not just race to the destination.
We breathe easier.
We celebrate small wins.
We stop comparing ourselves to others.
And we stay present in the process.
But let’s be real—it’s hard to stop rushing when we’re wired to want things NOW.
So how do we break the cycle?
Try These 3 Mindset Shifts to Stay Present
1️⃣ Ground Yourself in the Now.
Pause for a second. Look around. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel? If you’re stuck in the future, this simple exercise can bring you back to the present moment.
2️⃣ Focus on What You Can Control.
Instead of stressing about things that haven’t even happened yet, ask yourself: What is ONE thing I can do today to move forward? Keep it simple. Keep it manageable.
3️⃣ Celebrate Small Wins.
If you’re constantly chasing the big goal, you’ll always feel like you’re behind. Instead, zoom out and recognize how far you’ve come. Take a moment to write down one thing you accomplished this week—no matter how small.
You’re Exactly Where You Need to Be
I know the feeling of wanting things now. But trust me—everything is happening on time, exactly as it should.
Instead of stressing about what’s next, ask yourself: What if it’s already going right?
One step at a time. One moment at a time. You’ve got this.
Will YOU be the next success story?!
Rachelle wanted multiple pull-ups and she wanted them so badly! She had no trouble getting up there once, but then when in came to linking more than one together it wasn’t happening no matter what she tried! So sad :(
Without doing the right drills that work the whole body together and consistently working on the trinity of Mobility, Strength and Stability CONSISTENTLY, linking multiple pull-ups just doesn’t happen.
Rachell found Pull-Up Revolution and everything started to come together for her. She is stronger, more confident and she is unlocking her potential. No more disappointments. She has pull-up goals and she is crushing them!
Elizabeth is so strong, but she has plateaued with her pull-ups. She wants to crank them out, but it isn’t happening.
I bet you are wondering why...🤷♂️
Well, pull-ups are a full body movement and that means to get a pull-up and then be able to do multiple pull-ups you have to train your whole body and your whole body to work together.
That’s where Pull-Up Revolution comes in...💡
This is a revolutionary program for women that outlines the blueprint that gets women cranking out pull-ups like Elizabeth. She followed the blueprint and in less than a month she has SIX powerful pull-ups. Let’s go Elizabeth!!! 💪💪💪
Are you ready to get stronger and leaner, to gain muscle and finally get that elusive pull-up? Now is your chance!
