As a Verizon employee, he saw emails with wellness messages, including Motivational Mondays, offering resources for those willing to seek help. “As I read those messages, they hit close to home. I’m thankful that Verizon puts so much effort into those areas.”
Finally, he decided to take some small steps in a positive direction. He started out by committing to working out once a week. He reduced his snacking. He wrote positive affirmations to himself. He eventually increased his workouts to three times a week. He increased his workout routine to five times a week.
With each small decision, he grew closer to his overall goal. One year later, he had lost over 120 pounds. His shirt size had dropped from a 4XL to a 2XL. “I have so much energy now,” reported Raul. “I love my job more. I love life more. It’s amazing.”
Thanks to what Raul refers to as his new “superpowers,” he had the energy and motivation to head to Louisiana to assist Verizon with recovery efforts from Hurricane Laura .
As far as Raul has come, he continues to seek inspirational help every day. “I try to find any and every little motivational source I can, whether it’s inspirational posters, group texts with coworkers and friends to keep accountable, Alexa reminders or looking at old photos of myself.”
