Why do videos

Someone came up to me on Saturday, after our 6-wk Boot Camp Graduation, which is my favorite day of the month. 

She said, you need to repost that video “change one word” video every month. I wasn’t quite sure what video she was talking about, but after sitting uncomfortably through her quoting a few lines from one of my more recent videos, I knew which one she was talking about. 

She said, “that one changed my life.”

“Whoa, ok,” I thought. 

I started shooting videos 2 years ago, when a mentor at the time said, “you need to do videos”. Like, pretty much everyone I know, the thought made me want to throw up. 

But, I started doing them. I know that getting out of your comfort zone is good for me, and creates growth, and that is something that is important to me. So, I did them. Once a week, and then twice a week, and then it became something I did almost every day. 

Contrary to what people think when you are someone who actually records videos of yourself, I do not like the sound of my voice and have never watched or listened to any of my videos. I rarely take a second take, mostly, because I want it to be over and want it to be authentic. My husband will pull them up on his phone at night when we are watching tv and I will literally throw something at him. 

With all that said……….why continue? 

Well, now I am blessed to be at a point, 2 years later, where I have people come up to me or my teammates or friends and say, “keep doing those videos.” 

“I feel like you are talking to me.”

“That was exactly what I needed to hear that day.” 

They go on and one, and it is like a lightening bolt of love and energy and flows right to me and keeps me going on the path. 

So, we’ll “keep, keepin’ on” and Happy Monday!
