Upon entering the last year of her 20’s, Jordan reflects on the past ten years. 

10 Years Ago:

- Think about where you were ten years ago, be thankful for where you were and what formed you. 

- Jordan was finishing up her first year at UNCW, It wasn’t her first choice, but it was the best year ever.

- If she had gotten what she thought she wanted, life would have looked a lot different. 

- She wouldn’t have gotten the experience of being away. She got some independence. 

- Mentally, she was still dieting all the time, restricting herself, and doing lots of cardio

- She was stuck in a state of comparison and more self conscious than ever. 

What would she say to her 19 year old self? 

- Stop stressing about grades, keep focusing on loving your body and getting stronger, and be present in everything. Embrace the uncomfortable, and you’re gonna be fine. 

- When you’re in it, it’s easy to get caught up in the details. Jordan remembers being worried all the time, but doesn’t remember what about. Over the past decade, she’s learned to let that go. 

Reflect on Accomplishments: 

- It’s easy to be hard on yourself when you’re looking back, but it’s important to see all the places where you have grown and accomplished something. Everything that has happened has led you to where you are now. 

- In the past decade Jordan grew closer to her family, got a job that taught her a lot, quit that job, traveled the world, opened an LLC, and learned the truth behind ‘fake it til you make it’. 

- You may think you’re “faking it”, but the truth is, your most confident self is already within you, you’re just tapping into that energy. It’s not outside of you, it’s already within you. 

- During a tarot reading with a client, and psychic, Jordan was told she would “turn fitness on its back”. 

Connect with your values:

- When you’re working towards a vision for your future, don’t focus on the details of the ‘how’, focus on the “why” and the values behind the “why”

- Jordan shifting towards understanding her values and it changed how she ran her business

- Think about your values and what really matters. We’re chasing these ‘check boxes’ without really thinking if they align with our values. If they don’t, they won’t bring us any sense of fulfillment. 

- Jordan’s values are: Adventure, Integrity, Connection, Growth, Confidence, Love, Family, Fun, Consciousness, and Impact

- Ask yourself ‘why’ and connect it to your values. Stay rooted in them, and don’t do things just because you think that’s what you’re supposed to do. 

What will the next 10 years look like for Jordan? 

- The Confidently Uncomfortable Podcast will grow

- Body Confident Blueprint program will impact more women

- TrainingNAKED workouts will expand

- GO Retreat will be a success and lead to other retreats

- More travel around the world

- She’ll have kids and maybe a house

- She’ll speak at more events

- Feeling even more amazing in her own skin

Death Bed Meditation:

- Picture yourself on your deathbed. Think about that future self, whatever is stressing you out right now, ask yourself now and in the future “Will this matter in 5 years? 10 years?” 

- You’ve survived everything and you feel overall gratitude for everything you’ve had in your life. What does his version of yourself have to say with you? What’s she telling you to let go of, what’s the saying to focus on? What are your values? 

- What can you do today to show up for your highest self? Start acting like her and you’ll be unstoppable. 

- “Wherever  you're at, whatever your circumstances, there’s some way you can show up for your highest self a little bit more.”
