Lesley Logan
Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I’m Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I’ve trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it’s the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It’s a practice, not a perfect. Let’s get started.

Hi, Happy Friday. Happy Fuck Yeah Friday. It’s September 19th. It’s episode 579. How did we get here? Holy moly. I am so excited. I actually just got back from my trips to the U.K. and it’s just like it’s good to be home. We’re only home for a little bit, but it’s good to be home. And so I just want to say, thanks for being here. Thanks for listening. Thanks for checking in on these episodes. They’re short, they’re sweet, they’re full of things to think about, things you didn’t know to think about, wins from other people that are supposed to, that I hope, that I intend, for them to remind you of wins that you’re having in your life all the time. Because we’re all having wins in our life, right? All the time. Like, yes, there’s a lot going on in the stuff that’s like, not good. Like, it feels really scary. I really know for a fact that it has to do with our lives or brains, like, looking for things that are not going well to make us like, to make sure we’re like, not gonna die, so that we like, go, oh, that’s like, I can’t, I gotta avoid that. So bad things have, leave more of an impression than good things. But that is why, here at the Be It Pod, we celebrate wins, especially on Fridays. I’d love for you to have a gratitude journal of some kind, but if it’s only on Fridays, that’s also fine. It’s okay. We’re not here and we’re not after perfection in this room, right?

So okay, start off with a little inspiration. This is seven quotes that altered my brain chemistry all over again. So I really appreciated some of these. I’m gonna read them to you. The link, if you want them will be in the show notes. This is from Bruce Lee. Pain will leave you when it’s done teaching you. Wow, should I read it again? Pain will leave you when it’s done teaching you. And this therapist who posted this wrote, which is why it pays to listen to its messages and not avoid them. So then this is from Joe Hudson. Joy is the matriarch of emotions, and she won’t visit you until all of her children have been welcomed. And so the therapist wrote, all the noise in my brain just stopped. All the motions in my heart just felt wildly, gorgeously protected. The third thing, this is from Perry Nickelston, @stopchasingpain. Every time you feel alive, you’re being shown your medicine. And the therapist wrote, because flow is more powerful than any drug, and if you felt it, you design the rest of your life, creating space for it to show up again and again. If you need more of that, listen to Episode 400 Gay Hendricks. Okay, number four. This is from Rumi. Our task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. Oh, that is so deep. So the therapist wrote, because I firmly believe that we don’t have a hard time finding love. We have a hard time letting it in. Number five, this is from Vex King. You’re telling me that every time you thought you couldn’t do you couldn’t get through something difficult, you did, and now you’re back here thinking you won’t succeed. Trust your track record, my friend. Yeah, you can’t argue with that. Like, yeah, trust your track record like you have survived every fail. I think Launa, Launa Jae, said that on the first interview we ever had with her, like you’ve survived every failure you’ve ever had. So you can do this. You can get through it. The sixth one, this is an unknown quote. Healing happens in circles, not line. You’ll return to old places with new eyes. I like that. Healing happens in circles, not lines. You’ll return to old places with new eyes. So if your faced, this is what the therapist wrote, if you’re facing the same test again that you faced before, it’s not that you failed, it’s that you’ve been given another opportunity to succeed, this time with more armor. Number seven, this is from Gary Vaynerchuk, so Gary Vee and he’s not always my favorite, but he’s not not my favorite, like he always has, he says something direct all the time, right? Do your thing, because I’m telling you, when you’re 90, you’re going to be sad if you didn’t do the thing that’s in your stomach. So I agree with that. Like when I was in Brazil, I was like, I should I go doing this thing? And I said, well, when I’m older, and I tell people about my trip to Brazil, I’m gonna regret that I didn’t do this thing. Am I gonna say, well, I didn’t do that thing, and I had the money to do it, I had the time to do it, so I did it, right? Okay, so that that, my friends, is some things for you to think about. Now, let’s share one, I would love to know if you like these things, by the way, just tell me if you hate it. You know, that’s also information. I don’t know that I’ll quit it, but you know, it’s always good to have the constructive feedback.

Okay, so our win today is from Nancy Lawrence. Happy FYF eve. My win this week is that my eLevate besties Ainsley and Jennifer Mason and my daughter, Miranda, also in eLevate, just booked a trip to San Francisco in September. We will spend five glorious days together, touring the city, and we plan on visiting the Balanced Body factory in Sacramento. Along the way, we plan on reaching out to other eLevate members and visit them as well, if possible, the Beauty of Pilates, the eLevate program and yours, Lesley Logan, far surpasses borders and frontiers for me. Through eLevate, I’ve gained a new family, a set of sisters I never dreamed I would find, not to mention a beautiful, close relationship with my own daughter, who is now becoming an exceptional Pilates instructor. So her daughter is in eLevate this year. Actually, graduates this week, which is really cool. And it sounds like as I read this, they are in they’re in San Francisco. So anyways, ladies, have the best time. I love that city. It’s so amazing. I I truly love that people can let other people in and then have their lives changed and shared experiences are the things you can never take away from someone. So it’s great to text a friend, it’s great to call a friend, but you also got to do the things with friends. You got to do them. And I know it takes money, and I know it takes time, and sometimes you don’t have those things, but if the person lives in your in your city, then it can be free to just go for a walk in the park. You’ve, the shared experiences matter. So ladies, thank you for sharing this, Nancy, especially, because not only are you inspiring us at like dedication and investing yourself as is a win, but also, like so as a win, of just planning a five day trip with your friends, right? And, like going places together, that’s a win. Planning a trip is a win. So anyways, thank you for that.

Lesley Logan 6:51
Okay, my win. We are wrapping up our fifth round of eLevate. This is the first, it’s not the first year we’ve had two rounds. It’s the first year we’ve graduated two rounds at the same time, and because I did a year where they overlapped, and that just doesn’t work with my schedule, but it was, you know, The win was that we tried it and we figured out what we liked and we didn’t like about it. And this year, we ran two rounds at the same time. I’m going to do that one more time next year, and then we’re, we are using next year to kind of change the program a little bit so that we can accept the people that want to be in it and make sure they get the same they get the best results. But my win in celebrating the closure of eLevate round five and graduating all these amazing people is that, like, they taught me as much as I taught them, I hope. You know, even though I’m the expert, their coming to invest in their Pilates teaching and their education and to become a more amazing teacher, it is so incredibly rewarding for me to sit there and reflect on the questions that they’re asking and the things that they’re being challenged by, and really understand like, okay, how how can I help them? But how can they help themselves? And this group is just so fabulous and so amazing, and they’re from all over the world. I mean, they’re, every group is, every every group is. We had people from 20 years old to in their late 60s. We had people who are brand new to teaching to people who are getting close to retirement. And every single one of them added something to to this experience, and the win is just that, like we got to take it all in in a non-overwhelming way. And I want to celebrate my team at this point, because I cannot ever do eLevate alone. I want to celebrate the eLevate grads who supported this, and we had so many eLevate grads help me with the weekends auditing to assist me so that I can provide this information and have a great experience for each of these people and celebrate all the people on my team and also my husband and my family out here. Because people come out to our house, and we often need help, you know. So I had friends who loaned me equipment so that I could do this. So I just, I just think that, like, their graduation isn’t much a win for them as it is a win for me and my team, because we get to be part of this. And Nancy’s win just really inspired me celebrating this in this moment, because Nancy and Ainsley and Jennifer graduated a year ago, and just seeing how they’ve connected continuously after they graduated, and what they’ve done with their training just reminds me of why this exists, and I think we have to celebrate the things we do, even if, though, even if it’s really the win is theirs. Because, you know, if you’re holding space for people to evolve and change and become more of themselves, like, you got to take care of you, and I so did. My team made sure that I was fueled and fulfilled, and my cup was filled, and I had time off before and after, so that I could really take all this in and be present and to celebrate a win of nine months of putting this together and making it so magical that I want to do it again, and I can’t wait, we’ll do it in January. So anyways, that’s my win. You can have, there’s just so many different wins you could have in this world. So thank you for that, ladies. And you can send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions.
