  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life, where we are realizing everyone is always
• 0:07
  learning and living your full experience.

  I'm your host, Coach C, and this is your Motivational Monday episode, Adjustments Allowed.
• 0:20
  Real talkers, let me tell you something this Monday. Adjustments are allowed.
• 0:26
  Sometimes we get stuck, not because we stop moving, but because we're so committed
• 0:33
  to staying the course that we never stop to ask ourselves, does this course still make sense?
• 0:41
  See, there's a difference between quitting and course correcting.
• 0:46
  And sometimes what you call giving up is really you finally recognizing that
• 0:53
  something needs to change. Thank you.
• 0:55
  What does that mean, Coach C? Well, I'm glad you asked.
• 0:59
  Sometimes you have to stop, look around, pay attention to what's surrounding
• 1:06
  you, and ask what's working, what's not working, and what needs to be adjusted.
• 1:14
  Because adjustments are allowed. Matter of fact, an adjustment can become a fresh opportunity.
• 1:22
  Think about your car.
• 1:23
  You can be driving toward the right destination, but if that car starts pulling
• 1:28
  to one side, what do you do?
• 1:31
  You get an alignment. You don't throw the whole car away. You don't cancel the destination.
• 1:37
  You don't say, well, I started driving like this, so I guess I have to finish like this.
• 1:43
  No, you make the necessary adjustment so the vehicle can continue moving in
• 1:49
  the direction you intended.
• 1:51
  And baby, sometimes we need an alignment.
• 1:57
  Our lives start pulling. Our priorities get off.
• 2:01
  Our routines stop producing results. Our relationships change.
• 2:06
  Our circumstances change.
• 2:08
  We change. And yet we're trying to operate with the same settings that were
• 2:15
  three seasons ago. That'll wear you out.
• 2:18
  The same thing happens with our bodies. If your body mechanics are off,
• 2:24
  eventually another part of your body starts compensating.
• 2:28
  Now, something that wasn't originally the problem is hurting because it's been
• 2:34
  carrying weight it wasn't designed to carry.
• 2:38
  Somebody better catch that, because some of us are exhausted from compensating
• 2:44
  for something we should have adjusted a long time ago.
• 2:48
  So this week, I want you to check three things. Your aim.
• 2:53
  Are you still aiming at what you actually want?
• 2:57
  Sometimes the goal hasn't changed, but your approach to reaching it needs to. Adjust your aim.
• 3:05
  Second, your actions. are your daily actions supporting what you say you want,
• 3:12
  because wanting something and working towards something are two different things,
• 3:17
  and if the actions aren't producing movement don't be afraid to change them,
• 3:24
  adjust your actions and finally.
• 3:28
  Your attitude. Because sometimes the situation isn't the only thing that needs adjusting.
• 3:34
  Sometimes it's the way we're approaching it.
• 3:37
  Maybe everything isn't falling apart. Maybe everything isn't against you.
• 3:43
  Maybe this season is simply requiring a different version of you.
• 3:48
  Adjust your attitude, your aim, your actions, your attitude.
• 3:55
  And hear me clearly, adjustment does not mean abandonment you can change the
• 4:01
  strategy without changing the dream,
• 4:04
  you can change the timeline without changing the destination you can change
• 4:09
  your approach without changing your commitment,
• 4:12
  and sometimes the most fearless thing you can do is admit this isn't working anymore so.
• 4:19
  I'm going to adjust that's not failure that's awareness that's growth that's
• 4:26
  wisdom and that's your permission this motivational monday adjustments are allowed,
• 4:34
  here's your fearless homework i want you to do your own monday alignment check,
• 4:40
  write down one area of your life where you feel stuck then answer three questions,
• 4:47
  what do i need to adjust about my aim,
• 4:50
  what do i need to adjust about my actions What do I need to adjust about my attitude?
• 4:57
  And here's the important part Make one adjustment this week Not 17 Not an entire
• 5:04
  life overhaul by Tuesday morning
• 5:07
  One Because one small adjustment Can change the direction of an entire journey.
• 5:14
  Real talkers, remember, you don't always need a new destination.
• 5:19
  Sometimes you just need a better alignment.
• 5:22
  Adjust accordingly. And as always, decide, commit, succeed.
• 5:29
