Why You Must Make Health A Priority
I’m going to be honest; health and wellness was not always a priority for me. It’s been a journey for sure and I’ve swung from both extreme ends of the spectrum – from feeling victorious and strong to viewing it as the bane of my existence.
Recently I realized a very important truth – when your purpose on earth is to play big, be a change agent, lead effectively or be a gladiator, then health and wellness NO LONGER becomes optional. It is required.
Whoa…now THAT was a major #BOL (breakthrough out loud) for me.
You see, it’s not just about looking good or having a certain physique. It’s not just an EXTERNAL conversation. Our body is the vehicle that gets us to our life purpose. And just as if you were preparing for a cross-country trip, you need to make sure your vehicle is in top condition to get you where you want to go.
My top three tips for setting health and wellness goals are really pretty simple:
- Be realistic. Make sure you set goals that stretch you, but don’t stress you. What trips us all up is when we set goals with unrealistic timelines. For example, releasing 20 pounds is a realistic goal, but expecting to do it in 3 weeks and keep if off is not.
- Surround yourself with an accountability community. This is so important that I decided to launch my own #snatchingmysexyback challenge. Join me by registering at befitwithlisa.com at my favorite price – FREE. We all can use someone to cheer us on and support us when we make good choices.
- Be willing to press the reset button. We all get busy and distracted. There is no reason to let a speed bump turn into a stop sign. Give yourself permission to press reset.
Remember, THIS is your community, and I love reading your comments. I sit for hours and read what you write. I can feel it in my heart when something inspires you or you realize, you are not alone (#YANA).
So please, drop a comment below and let me know if I triggered you. What was your biggest AHA? Are you going to join me it this fitness challenge? I sure hope so.
Let’s get healthy together.
Lisa is a pure inspiration to me and I need to release 30 pounds and would absolutely love to do it together with the lisa community.

You’ve been a complete inspiration ever since I heard you in the secret. The quote you made the other day about going from optional to nonnegotiable was a huge trigger for me. I asked myself what is my mountain and everything pointed back to my weight and health. it is then that I realized this is no longer an option. Then I found this and would be honored to do it with the Lisa community. thank you
one should be willing to set the reset button.
Thank you, Lisa. I appreciate you sending out this message again. I needed to hear this. Joining you on this journey and snatchin’ back my sexy!
Your goals should not stress you… your goals should stretch you and inspore you. Love this…. Be realistic <3
Thank you Lisa
Loved my goals should stretch me not stress me and our health and wellness is important to our purpose
Love the idea of “releasing the weight”. Very nice Lisa. Keep up the great work you are doing. There is so much to learn from you.
Yes. I release it. I don’t lose it because then I might find it.
You are Truly and Inspiration. I have a Platform- Becoming A Winner, Eat to Live. Sooo many live to eat not knowing they are eating to die.
Wow! just what I am looking for and many more you really inspire me.
so yeah let us do this together I want to look fab for my big birthday!!
I was in this journey between November 2018 and April 2019 and i manged to loose 37 pounds. It was a lonely journey though because i was doing it on my own. What do you eat on a daily basis, Lisa? I avoid calorie dense food stuffs and eat nutrient dense ones. I also avoid processed foods.
Hi! Congrats on releasing 37 pounds. I am currently hosting a challenge to sexy my sexy back. If you haven’t joined I invite you to join the group. It’s no-cost, we have weekly celebration calls and I share tons of behind the scenes stuff of my weight release journey. https://www.facebook.com/groups/befitwithlisa/
Hi Ms Nicols.
My name is Lerato Titus from South Africa. 30 years of age. A single mother to a 14 year old girl. (Dad is in prison). I have you on my vision. I have your quotes all over my house so I basically live with you in my house. My Aha moment was watching your videos on YouTube from when you were really heavy to the transformation of losing all this weight. I myself have lost 5 kg in the month of February alone Yes Yes!!! And I love it. There is so much I want to say but time….. I love you and you have no idea how you change me and challenge me to be better every single day. Not a day goes by that I dont listen to you on YouTube. It’s the first thing I put on the morning. I imagine I have your zeal and I’m good for the day.
Love Lerato
