What's Your Schedule?

I once heard someone say...."Let me see your schedule and I will let you know how successful you will be in 5 years.
..
..
OH SNAP!! 🙄😏 It was kinda a reality check because..... sure, I'm kinda busy but could I be more productive? YES. Could I be happier? YES. Could I be more successful? YES. Could I be healthier? YES...
..
..
So how about YOU... Have you ever really looked at your schedule? Or does it just seem to fill up!? And you are just TRYING to get by? Well there are pockets of time but we all just decide in those moments that there are other things we should be doing....not to better ourselves but meaningless behaviors....scrolling social media perhaps? Or maybe binge watching a new show. Or agreeing to hang with a "friend" that continues to drain you? Or maybe just being so scatter brained that you just started 5 new tasks this week and get no where because you try to multi task...and that doesn't work.
..
..
What to do👉 WRITE DOWN YOUR SCHEDULE . BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT REALLY IS. NO LIES. ...
Next write a NEW schedule. Your ideal schedule. What are the some of your 3-5 non-negotiables that really are important to you that you CAN'T miss each day? That you WANT to make a REAL priority from now on???
..
..
To me, some of them are....
.
👉My health
.
👉Time with loved ones
.
👉My Business
.
👉Freedom/travel
..
..
Now from YOUR list mark down the time you are taking each day for those areas of non-negotiables. How much time is there? Only YOU can answer that but if those non-negotaibales are a TRUE priority then you won't miss them. Otherwise they aren't.
..
..
With that said. Where will you be in 5 years??? What does that look like for you???? Do you need to make some changes??? I know I do. Planning your future shouldn't wait another day. Make the desicion to show up and make it a great future friends 😘👌I'm here if you need help.

How to Spend Energy

Happy Monday friends!!!!😍😘😍😘 How are you going to treat the rest of the day!? Energy will be spent either way sooooo... 
..
Remember There are 2 options.
👉👉👉Complain about people or circumstances and CONTINUE in this cycle that still gets you NO-WHERE...
..
OR...
..
👉👉👉Take the time to find a better solution and take ACTION on it ASAP!!! 
..
This was how I had to approach my situation when I was over training my body with too many fitness classes while I also being under paid and over worked. 
I loved what I did with helping people to live healthier lives but honestly I was drained and depressed. 😟😟😟 So I looked at my options because I was sick of the excuses I gave myself for NOT being successful. I had to OWN IT and realize MY success is based on what I DO TODAY. 
..
So 4 years ago I changed my situation by taking risks I was scared to take and I became open to new ideas and learning from the people I was inspired by, rather than continue to envy and resent them.
So I decided. I committed and now I'm happy and I'm free and I'm growing my success year after year. And AMEN I did!!!!!🙏☕💪😘👙💥
...
If you also struggle, just know I'm here to help! You ARE enough and your Success is on the other side of FEAR. Face it. Crush it and OWN YOUR LIFE!!!!✊✊✊

Treat Yourself

The way we treat ourselves is also the way we treat others. We must first confront ourself with some pretty tough questions before we can realize that it's not the ENVIRONMENT that must change for us to be successful but our actual SELF that needs to Change FIRST....so ask yourself ..
...
🤔Do you judge yourself based on looks? Well most likely you do that to others too.
...
🤔Do you recognize and are proud of your accomplishments?
If so you most likely recognize and congratulate others around for three accomplishments also.
..
🤔Do you point out your flaws and talk negatively about yourself? Then you most likely point out the flaws of others and think negatively about that person. You might even gossip about them.
..
🤔Do you think about dreams and goals and pursuing a happier life? Then you probably share those goals with others around you and have attracted people that also want that.
..
🤔Do you think everyone has an agenda and only care about themselves? Then you probably act that way to others and they feel that same way towards you. 
..
Those are just a few examples but I know from experience that living in negativity and envy and self doubt will NEVER GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
..
I know our environment plays a HUGE role in the choices we make and the attitude we have but that doesn't define who we are. We are defined by how we THINK (on our own) And how we repeatedly ACT on those thoughts (negative or positive). So CHOOSE to live happier, More grateful and a more purpose driven life. Because why the HECK NOT!!?!??

One at a Time

One thought, action and result at a time.
..
I think a lot of people think that the healthy life means sacrifice and not allowing yourself good things. But in reality you should "over crowd" your day with positive choices that way there is little time or space left for negative choices. 
..
Think about it. ALL things we do come from a choice. 
..
💕Its a choice to disengage in gossip and bring up a positive convo.
💕Its a choice to pile veggies in your plate and over crowd the pasta and unnecessary carbs. 
💕Its a choice to choose to go on a walk with a friend rather than have a big lunch. 
💕Its a choice to reach out to someone who inspires you. And learn from them.
💕Its a choice to split the dessert, rather than have regrets later.
💕Its a choice to do the "harder" thing NOW that way life will be easier years from now. 
..
Focus in the choice and ALWAYS weigh the outcome. Is it worth it? Well that's up to you💕

Respect

Good day for coffee and chillin" with the cat. ☕😍☕Eddie is in Nashville this weekend celebrating his 300th episode on the Podcast, Married to the Games. It makes me so happy that he's got awesome guy friends from all over the world to be able to meet up and hang with.

I thought about going but it's so important for us to have time also apart. Don't get me wrong I love my man to the moon and back but we don't MAKE each other go to things we don't really want to go to. You won't see him at Coach Summit or the Zumba Convention.....because I love him too much to MAKE him do things. Seriously, I think that's what makes our relationship easy. When you are married to the right person you feel free and you are able to be the best version of you and you don't expect or MAKE your loved ones do things. You love them. You respect them. You are thankful for them. You ask for help when it's needed. Relationships mirror themselves so practice the golden rule and you will be golden 😘😘 #treatothersthewayyouwanttobetreated

What's Holding You Back?

What's holding you back from your best life!??! One answer. YOU. The good news!? You are never too old to find out and pursue a purpose driven life! 
..
..
For me I KNEW I knew I loved fitness when I started doing Tae Bo vhs tapes back when I homeschooled in 99... yep I was homeschooled that year just in case Y2K was gonna happen. We moved to the Ozarks to live off the land..."just in case" 😂😂😂Well good news. We didnt die. And that year I was pretty lonely....my brothers could only handle so many hours of playing Dutch Blitz with me soooooo I did a few Tae Bo workouts a day. It was the BEST. I'm thankful I had that year to realize hiw much I loved Fitness...and Shelly Blanks 😍😘 
..
..
Fast forward 9 years to 2008 I was asked to get licensed in Zumba and my first class WAS my training! I fell in love with the people, the music and every class I taught after was more fun than the last......Then in 2014 I became an Online Coach while shooting the dvds for Insanity Max:30. Shaun and the cast taught me to dream bigger, take risks go and go after EVERY dream. As I look back at those pivotal moments in my life I realize that YES I should ALWAYS be learning from people who inspire me and YES I AM enough and worthy enough to have a purpose filled driven life. I will say YES to opportunities that teach me to grow and push past my fears EVERYDAY. 
..
..
We are ALL given gifts and its our duty to find what it is and share it with the world. Don't hold back friends. You NEVER have to figure this out alone. If you also love fitness reach out. 💪😘 I'm here to help anyone looking to team up and help people reach thier health and fitness goals. ✌#fitnessinstructor #coachlife

Better Starts Today

Drive and determination will overcome MORE OVER TIME than Talent ever will. Stop comparing yourself to someone who has talent. What do you want to become better at!? What do you want to become successful at?

Write it down. Schedule it and KNOW that
Success lies in the small simple tasks done OVER AND OVER. Success happens when we MAKE THE DECISION to show up and realizing that if I miss One day, then I miss EVERYDAY &The way I do one thing is the way I do everything. I'm committed or I'm not. There's NO MIDDLE. 

So ask yourself.....Do I schedule MY success!?!?! Do I ACTUALLY make time for a BETTER life Or Do I give that time to my excuses!?!??

Start with ONE goal. RIGHT NOW. TODAY.

✊Be a better friend......message or text or call a friend and check in on them.
✊Be a better spouse....when's the last time you gave a foot rub? Yea. Do it. 
✊Be a better boss... ask to listen to the needs of others. Offer to help.
✊Be a better employee. Do your best and ask yourself...would I hire me? 
✊Be better to YOURSELF....eat better foods so your body is able to perform better. Get enough rest and Workout 30 min a day. 
✊Become BETTER at something you are PASSIONATE about. You do that by learning from someone who Is BETTER at that passion. Watch them. Ask HOW. And make time for that passion EVERYDAY. 
OUR BETTER DOESN'T WAIT UNTIL MONDAY. IT STARTS TODAY.

A Shake A Day...

I HAVEN'T GONE TO THE DOCTOR IN OVER 4 YEARS....AND I DONT THINK THIS IS A COINCIDENCE!!!! 😉😉😉😉
..
..
So today in our Virtual Fit Club we talk about the benefits of our SUPERFOODS Smoothie...... But first. LETS BE REAL..... Most people look at the price of this and think....no way. Meanwhile they go out and spend 2-3x this price on a fast food lunch😲🤦 Anywayyyyyyyyy I've drank this for 4 years andwhen I forget to take it with me on vacay my body starts to notice the loss of nutrient dense foods its missing. 
..
..
And don't get me wrong I love a good deal that's why I dont spend money on an extra meal and I don't buy vitamins. I rely on my shake because it has EXACTLY what my body needs...... So while there's many reasons I love this shake, today I'm sharing info about the Adaptogens in our shakes. What does that even mean?! Well here ya go....WHAT IT IS...AND WHY IT HELPS.......
..
..
👌Definition of adaptogen. : a nontoxic substance and especially a plant extract that is held to increase the body's ability to resist the damaging effects of stress and promote or restore normal physiological functioning.
..
..
👌SUPERFOODS SMOOTHIE ADAPTOGEN BLEND: including Ashwagandha, Astragalus, Cordyceps, Ginkgo, Maca, Maitake, Reishi, Schisandra, Tulsi (Holy Basil)These ingredients help reduce stress, support the immune system, and balance the endocrine system.

Two Reasons

2 reasons to smile today....
#1 We are friends 😘
#2 I got yo back
..
Seriously, as you push yourself to become better in ANY WAY, I want you to know I'M PROUD OF YOU. Yea, you probabaly don't hear it enough. But I am. Because I know how it feels to struggle. To face fears. To stop judging others. To stop judging yourself. You have to get through that mountain of pain to become victorious on the other side. And if you quit now, all this TRYING will have been for nothing. So don't give up. I'm watching and I have faith in you. I just thought you needed to hear it today. 💚💚💚
