Unlock Your Inner Resilience: Overcoming the Urge to Give Up
Hi, my name is Kacy and I wanted to share a bit more about myself and why I chose this path to coach and share solutions for building mental fitness.
I’ve been a passenger on the struggle bus for a lot of my life.
Not only in my health but my mindset and behaviors. I spent most of my time wrapped up in my own thoughts, trapped in my head, and disconnected from myself hoping things would magically change someday.
"I spent most of my time wrapped up in my own thoughts, trapped in my head, and disconnected from myself"
At the time, my headspace was not a nice place to be, and I have ADHD (diagnosed as an adult, but more on that later), so, it was like multiple channels of negative swarming through my mind all at once. This constant distraction and negative energy took a toll on me and my self-esteem and led to some pretty dark places and some very bad decisions.
I started to let myself go because I didn’t care. I was disgusted with myself and started to hate the person staring at me in the mirror, and I told her so on several occasions. It was so painful, I would have done anything to feel better.
That led to drugs, alcohol, addictions, and trouble. I was so desperate to feel better that I didn’t care what, or how temporary the solution was. I told myself I wouldn’t live long enough to see or feel the results in the long run and gave myself permission to give up.
"I told myself I wouldn't live long enough to see or feel the results in the long run and gave myself permission to give up."
The Universe had other plans for me because I was surrounded by family and friends that did care and the sadness and guilt I would feel when considering ending it all and thinking about them, was louder than anything I was going through, so I kept on, hoping it would end another way and leave everyone oblivious to my situation.
You see, I know what it’s like to feel hopeless. I know what it feels like to be in the dark and think the light at the end of the tunnel is most likely another train.
I also know what it’s like to be desperate for change, but feel like the odds were insurmountable.
Fortunately, love did lead me to make some better decisions, but I still would fall into the same dark hole every time I was faced with overwhelm or blowback from one of my, “whatever, I don’t care” based decisions.
"I know what it's like to feel hopeless. I know what it feels like to be in the dark and think the light at the end of the tunnel is most likely another train."
It took me a long time to realize that everything in my life was connected to my thoughts, emotions, mindset, and behaviors, and that I actually had the ability to control these things.
That was only the beginning of my mental fitness journey. Realizing that I am the only one responsible for my health, physical and mental, allowed me to take the reigns of my life and start in a new direction.
You may have heard or experienced this for yourself, but when you find solutions and a way to transformation that have such profound and positive effects on your life, it’s really hard to keep it to yourself and that is where I find myself now.
I feel driven to share my knowledge and experience to help others and have dedicated myself to learning how.
"I truly believe anything is possible for anyone, no matter where you are coming from or what situation you find yourself in."
That’s why I chose coaching.
It’s about co-creating with others. It’s about helping another soul see the person they want to be already within and then supporting them on their journey to uncovering.
I truly believe anything is possible for anyone, no matter where you are coming from or what situation you find yourself in.
I am so excited to walk the path with those who are ready to take control, get unstuck, and thrive.
I hope you will follow me on this infinite path of learning, growing, and transforming.
