Family!
Happy Monday!
There’s a chance you have seen me on film..
I certainly didn’t realize it when I started camp back in 2012, but it is a skill that is required to amply my mission of Inspiring Fitness and Changing Lives Every Day.
So have had to learn and continue to do so..
But trust me and to the contrary to what my better half Tatiana will tell you, it’s incredibly challenging and uncomfortable for me.
In fact, it seems like every time I film, I tense up, get all nervous and palms & back start sweating.
And if you have ever done a Facebook live or been on film yourself, you know exactly I mean. As it’s all fun and games until the camera gets out, and then BOOM!
Awkward city here we come!!
So when my pitch was accepted to have our CEO shoot a thank you video for our FBBC clients helping us raise and donate well over $100,000 in 2020 across all our brand, I was PUMPED!
But then you guessed it… just after our CEO approved it thinking it was a great idea in concept, he then asked me to be the face of the film and shoot it in the studio with clients.
Fun times.
So we scheduled a time for our media team to film in Yorba Linda last Tuesday after the 5:15am session. As I have some close relationships in that session so thought the fun vibes would help the shoot.
So I typed up the script, rehearsed and then off we went.
When I arrived at boot camp with the camera crew about 15 minutes before the session ended, Coach Jenn was bringing the fire on the mic per usual.
Session then ended and she asked any volunteers to stay in the background for the 3 minute shot and do some jumping jacks so the film has a high energy effect!
Then Mayn, our camera man hit it….. “lights, camera, action”.
And no matter how many times you rehearse which I certainly did, when the set goes silent, the camera is right in your face and all eyes are on you, the sweat starts rolling off your pores..
And while my goal was to hit in 1 take…
I wasn’t successful in that goal as it took me 3 takes with some loving heckling from my friends as I missed the line 2 times mid jumping jacks!
Fun times.
And for as much it was incredibly uncomfortable, and that little voice in my head was telling me how much I was going to mess up, and that I should really just stop the shoot….
I ended up pressing forward, getting through it and getting the shot successfully! And on top of it all, it was an incredible growth moment!
As that uncomfortable feeling you get in your stomach… is just a sign of where your current growth ends, and where you must continue to press forward to be a more evolved human.
So today’s lesson is this…
Maybe the thought of passing on the daily cocktail is really uncomfortable and something “I cannot live without.”
Maybe you haven’t worked out in YEARS and just the thought of boot camp completely scares you.
Or you have been coming a few times per week, but deep down you know you’ve been going through the motions and can crank it up a few notches..
Regardless, as humans we all have comfort zones that are made to be broken which unlock your growth potential!
Yes, easier said than done, but if you want to live a happy and successful life, you better get comfortable being uncomfortable. As those zones are meant to be broken as growth is on the other side!!
Have a GREAT Monday!
