Go For It
Just because you fear you suck does NOT mean you shouldn't GO FOR IT!!!!!
In 10th grade I homeschooled and one good thing (well, maybe a few good things) came from that....or so I thought. When I heard that I was going to miss speech class that year I was ecstatic!!!! Seriously, when people meet me they think I'm outgoing and I can take any risk and do ALL THE THINGS....but truth be told I'm SCARED TO DEATH of public speaking!!!!! So much so that I had my first panic attack while talking on the phone to a group of people (less than 4 years ago)!!
But because of that terrible predicament (that I convinced myself I would die from) I realized that if I wanted to learn and grow and be successful, then I needed to beat this. I had to do the Fear Killer....TAKE ACTION. So I started going live and posting more video talks and I focused on talking about what I love. The fear started to become smaller.
BUUUUUUUUT....That fear is still there because I almost said NO to a speaking event.. (because I had to get up early and also leave the house π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ).
But I don't say NO to the things that scare me. I know better ππ And today I had to face that public speaking fear. I spoke in front of a small group of high schools students (looks like I got that speech class in after all π) but instead of being nervous and scared (which I still was) I focused more on the value I was bringing to people who might be able to use it to better their futures. I talked about what it's like to be your own boss and how to do it. My bestie Candace @justpostedblog and I then heard from the students who wanted to also build their brands and learn how to make a living online. It was AWESOME hearing their excitement and being able to give them feedback on how to GO FOR IT.
If I would have said no....then I would have not only held myself back but I wouldn't have been able to connect with INCREDIBLE INSPIRING High School students who see the world with a more hopeful perspective than most people do. It was SO REFRESHING to hear from them and I was there to teach them but honestly I learned from THEM and I'm so thankful I didn't let fear win. βββ
Choosing or Waiting?
Are you CHOOSING to feel good or are you WAITING for good to happen to you?
..
You guys!!!! Sometimes I really struggle with this. I think of ALL the things I want my life to be and look like and I start to feel inadequate when those goals aren't met yet. In those moments I've made a choice. A choice to NOT FEEL GOOD. A choice that brings up feelings of "comparison" "envy" "un-gratefullness" .... I see it. I Feel it. And then I Say.....
..
"STOP SARAH!!!! If this goal hasn't happened for you yet, it's because the TIMING is not right yet. So put the negative aside and ask yourself..."What can I do in the PRESENT moment to move forward? And if FEELINGS are really a choice.....how can I CHOOSE to feel good!?!?!"
..
Do you also struggle with times like this? You aren't alone. It happens to ALL OF US!!!!!! What's helped me is journaling what I appreciate and what I'm grateful for in my life. Looking back at ALL the good in my life really puts it all in perspective. Then I take action on something that makes me happy and makes me FEEL good
...like listening to my personal development, getting a good sweat sesh in, or talking and hanging with a friend. And something amazing happensπππMy mindset has changed because I CHOSE to look for the good and it feels good to feel good. πβ#choosegood #choosethankfulness#choosehappiness
Happy Monday
Happy Monday friends βπ I used to LIVE for the weekend and DREADED Mondays only because I was overworked...and under paid and I envied others who made life look easy. ππ π‘.. Don't get me wrong. I love teaching fitness classes and personal training but year after year I was making LESS per class and after 7 years in the Fitness industry I decided to expand my career online. Why!? Becaue I wasn't living for EVERYDAY of the week and I was letting life pass me by rather than Showing up EVERYDAY for my BEST life. I had to REALLY Face the facts πββοΈ I was busy building OTHER peoples dreams and when it comes down to it we either spend our lives working to build OUR OWN dreams.....or someone elses.
..
..
Was it hard? Yes.
Was it worth it? Heck yes.
..
..
Listen, this life by design did NOT happen overnight....I was doing this side hustle while I was busy working for other people until I made enough to be able to work for myself. And that's WITHOUT a college degree, WITHOUT understanding Marketing or Branding and WITHOUT the confidence that I now have.
..
..
When I took this leap I was NOT successful but I DEVELOPED the tools to become who I needed to be. And I'm STILL learning...We NEVER stop learning!!!!! And you are never too old to have the life you ALWAYS dreamed of. I never thought I would look forward to Mondays....but now I LOVE them. Change your mindset. Change your life. βπNeed help? I'm always here. If you are curious check out my group here..

Your life can change for the better if you want to look forward to Mondays too π
You Got This!
There's something about an amazing sweat sesh that makes me feel on top of the world. I know when you start anything new, yea it will suck at first but KEEP GOING!!!! Even on the days you don't "feel it." Trust me, eventually you look forward to those feel good hormones you can only get from exercise!!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!!! #virtualfitclub#virtualbootcamp
Choose Happy
I truly believe that happiness is a choice.... because every second that passes can either be spent happy or unhappy. Don't you want to look back and CHOOSE happy?! πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ It's our POSITIVE reactions to troubles or struggles that make a happy life. Remember there is good in EVERY situation. There is good in failures because there are lessons learned. We become wiser, stronger and more resilient. So bring out the happy in your life, not just this second, but EVERY second. πβ
Go Further Faster
Go Further....πππFASTER.
I once thought I had to figure everything out by myself and truthfully it was because my ego was in my way. I wasn't willing to be a beginner and learn from others and because of this mistake my progress in my own health and also in my Fitness career was SLOWWWWW. So don't make the same mistake I did. Reach out! Ask for help! You will go Further Faster when you have the HELP!!!!!
I'm asking youπ€π who inspires you?! Take the smallest risk and get the Greatest reward by reaching out to that person and ask HOW and ask for the HELP to reach YOUR goals!!!! You are NOT alone on this journey of life. Surround yourself with those that LIFT YOU UP!!!! I'm a completely different person in 4 years and that's because I took a chance, stopped listening to my negative thoughts and realized that I CAN reach my goals!!!! Trust me, put ego in the past because this positive life rocks πππ

Good Find
Packing has its perks....I found my Favorite Sweatshirt!!!! I remember wearing this back at the 2011 Zumba Convention!!! Ahhhhh memories!!!!
...
That was my first ZINCON and probably the most epic. bc that was the first time being surrounded SOOO MANY many energetic, happy and excited people. You might think I'm energetic but imagine that times 7,000 of us!!!!!!
...
This format will always be my heart and I'm so thankful that I'm going back again....its been too many years!!!!!!! πππ
One Thing
What's something that constantly makes you wish you could be better at!? ππ€π€π€π€ I know we all have at least ONE THING we could be better at. For me one of my goals is mastering handstands!!! It's all a fear thing for me. Probably landing too many times on my head on the trampoline ππ€£π So I'm trying more and more inversions after my Yoga program each day!!!!!
...
I also encourage you to go after ONE GOAL THIS WEEK. Write it down. Tell a friend. And make a plan ASAP!!! (like NOW....or if it's too late..then TOMKRROW!!!!! LETS WORK TOWARDS THAT GOAL AND HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK!!!! Mmmkayyyy!?!?

For the Ladies
For the ladies...
πYou are beautiful, not just today but everyday. πYou do so much and probably have not gotten enough support to help encourage you to keep going it. But Keep going. πYou are strong in the inside and the outside. πBe sure to focus on you at least for an hour everyday. Maybe it's quiet time in a book or it's's a workout or long walk. Just stop. Breathe and when you come back to the tasks you will have a more clear mind on how to accomplish them. πYou have everything it takes and you are worthy to be loved...especially love of yourself. πDo not talk down or joke about or belittle your self worth. Your voice hears you and can hurt worse than you know. πSo today be reminded of your inner beauty. πAccept kindness and love towards yourself. πBe reminded that your life is full of adventure. Find your passion and learn something new. Be a beginner and never stop learning. πknow that failure is a part of this journey and never derails your success...failure LEADS you to success.πAnd most of all, love who you are. Because there is no one else like you. I love you babeπ
