Change By Challenge

Who Are You When You’re Calm? We’re so used to chasing energy. Caffeine, momentum, pressure, the next thing on the to-do list. But have you ever paused to ask yourself: What if I’m not tired… what if I’m just calm? And what if calm is not the problem—but the practice? In this article, we'll dive into something that’s been showing up in coaching lately: the discomfort we feel when we’re not operating at 100%, and how that discomfort might actually be rooted in self-trust. When calm doesn’t feel safe, we chase stress just to feel capable. Let’s challenge that narrative. Let’s redefine calm as a place of power. Come back and tell us: What have you learned about yourself in your quieter moments? #ThursdayThoughts #CalmIsProductive #ChangeByChallenge #MindsetShift #NervousSystemHealing #CoachingTools #SelfTrust #PersonalGrowth #EmotionalIntelligence

Thursday Thoughts: Who Are You When You're Calm? Lately in coaching sessions, a theme keeps showing up… People don’t feel safe being calm. We don’t even use the word calm—most of us just call it being "tired" or "off." But what if that low energy isn’t wrong... what if it’s simply a different version of us showing up? We’ve been conditioned to believe we perform best when we’re hyped, energized, on. That’s when we think we can trust ourselves. But here’s the question: Have you ever actually paid attention to how you show up when you’re calm? Who are you in your stillness? In your softness? If your nervous system has linked calm with being unproductive, lazy, or "less than"—you might be chasing stress just to feel like you're enough. ☕ And yep, we often fuel that chase with caffeine, criticism, or chaos... not because we’re broken, but because we haven’t yet made calm feel safe. So today, I invite you to pause and test it: What if you didn’t need to rev yourself up to feel worthy? What if calm was actually a place you could trust? Let’s talk about it.👇 When was the last time you felt truly calm—and okay with it? Let me know in comments for DM! #ThursdayThoughts #MindsetShift #CalmIsProductive #EmotionalIntelligence #ChangeByChallenge #TrustYourself #StillnessIsStrength

The goal isn’t to be unbothered. You’re human. Things will bother you. People will disappoint you. Life will get messy. But the work isn’t about pretending nothing affects you. It’s about knowing yourself so deeply that when life throws shade, you don’t question your light. ✨ Being grounded doesn’t mean being numb. It means standing strong in who you are—even when the winds of doubt, stress, or other people’s projections try to knock you down. It means: 🌀 Responding, not reacting. 🪨 Rooting into your truth. 🔥 Holding your power without needing to prove it. You don’t need to be untouchable. You just need to be anchored. So when the chaos comes—and it will—you don’t collapse. You rise steady. #RootedAndRising #EmotionalResilience #ChangeByChallenge #AuthenticLiving #InnerStrength #TheWorkIsWithin #GrowthMindset

🇺🇸 Honoring More Than a Holiday 🇺🇸 Today, we pause to remember the brave souls who gave their lives in service to something greater than themselves. Memorial Day is not just a long weekend—it’s a moment to reflect on sacrifice, courage, and the resilience of the human spirit. At Change by Challenge, we believe that the greatest growth often comes from our hardest battles. The legacy of those we honor today reminds us that strength isn’t just about muscle—it’s about heart, about showing up, and about carrying forward even when the weight is heavy. So today, we invite you to: ✨ Sit with gratitude ✨ Reflect on the freedoms we often take for granted ✨ And ask yourself: How can I rise to the challenges in my own life with more grace, integrity, and purpose? To all who serve—and to the families who carry their memory—thank you. Your courage inspires our mission every day. #MemorialDay #ChangeByChallenge #EmotionalResilience #PurposefulLiving #HonorAndRemember

We’ve been conditioned to scan for what’s wrong. To catalog every flaw, apologize for every misstep, and treat growth like a confession booth. But what if you turned that spotlight inward with compassion instead of criticism? In a recent session, I watched someone shift from apologizing for not being “further along” to celebrating how far they’ve come. That moment — catching themselves mid-critique and choosing kindness — was quiet but radical. Growth doesn’t always announce itself with fireworks. Sometimes it whispers: “Look at what I survived.” “Look at how I showed up anyway.” “Look at how I’m learning to speak to myself differently.” ✨ That’s not bypassing your pain. That’s expanding your awareness to include your resilience too. It’s not about pretending things are fine. It’s about training your brain to see the whole truth — not just the fear. #ThursdayThoughts #SelfCompassion #MindsetShift #CelebrateProgress #NeuroscienceOfChange

✨ Thursday Thoughts ✨ This one might not be your favorite — but it just might be the one you need. So many of us spend our days trying to control everything. The schedule. The outcome. The feelings. The people. But beneath that constant grasping is often something deeper: fear. We’re afraid to feel. Afraid to face the parts of ourselves we’ve tucked away. So we run. We plan. We perfect. We try to outmaneuver the discomfort. But what if real freedom doesn’t come from having everything in order — but from having the courage to look inward? 👉 The courage to feel the feelings we’ve been avoiding 👉 The strength to own our mistakes without shame 👉 The resilience that comes from accepting our full, flawed, beautiful humanity True self-trust isn’t built in the calm. It’s forged in the fire of radical honesty. 💭 What if the thing you’re avoiding… is the path to your peace? #ThursdayThoughts #EmotionalFreedom #MindsetShift #InnerWork #SelfAwareness #ChangeByChallenge

Fear isn’t the enemy. It’s information. We’ve been conditioned to treat fear like a red flag. 🚩 But what if it’s actually a green light? A signal that you’re about to step into something that matters. That you’re growing. Evolving. Changing in ways you can’t always explain—but can feel. Fear says: "This is unfamiliar." "This could change you." "This might matter more than you think." Don’t silence that voice. Don’t bulldoze through it. Listen to it. Learn from it. Lead with it. Fear is not your weakness. It’s your compass. Pointing you toward the edge of who you were… and the beginning of who you’re becoming. #ChangeByChallenge #FearAsACompass #EmbraceTheUnknown #EmotionalAwareness #MindsetShift #LeadWithCourage #SelfLeadership #GrowthWork #FeelItToHealIt
