Yours

Are you rested!? Are you refueled? Are you ready to have an amazing week!?!!? If your answer is no, then you need to take a look at HOW to improve YOUR life....yes YOUR life...because ask yourself 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️💁‍♀️Whose life is YOUR FIRST RESPONSIBILITY!?!?!

Yes, you guessed it. YOURS. When you take care of YOU then YOUR can better take care of others....so Really, its NOT selfish to watch out for #1! I used to believe it was selfishness....until I found out it's not. 😉😘😉😘

Love and Be Loved

Something to ponder today 👉 Always assume people are doing their best. Even if deep down you think..."yea, they could be doing better"... No really, we do NOT know what everyone's life experiences from every moment of their lives have been.

When it comes to whether that person makes time for you or does something that hurts you, we still can not judge. When we judge them we think that gives us power over them. When we judge them that mean means we think we are better than them. And that's not our place, nor will it ever be. So stop judging. Stop letting your emotions of only seeing the world one sided get in the way your own happiness. Our perspective is always OUR OWN.

While we might try to understand and "fix" the problems of others...we just can't. It's a waste of time to try to "change" someone. Instead, treat them with kindness. Always. 

We are a mirror in this world and when we reflect light and kindness and don't judge then eventually we are shown that back and THAT, my friends.... is a very optimistic happy life. But it starts and ends with YOU and how you decide to treat others 💕💖💕#loveandbeloved

The Power of Guilt

Alright ya'll. I'm starting to believe in the power of guilt 😂 Yesterday when I said I was NOT going to snooze and NOT charge my phone in my bedroom anymore...well it worked!!! I thought about not doing doing it, then guilt came over me and I knew I would not only let myself down but I was also proving to you that I am NOT true to my word. 

Me TRYING was not working. See earlier post 😉Accountability though.... well that's a whole other level that helped me get up this morning. So thanks!!

I know "new-ness" of any idea gets old pretty quick so I'm doing this regularly and remembering WHY this is important. I love my sleep but really I don't want to sleep through life. I've got big goals and dreams and just because I have sucked at getting up earlier in the past doesn't mean that I can't change and reach this goal. I'm a Coach and one things for sure in Coaching ......most people don't WANT to do things that we need to do in order to reach goals but those that REALLY want this do it anyway because we know the outcome is worth the struggle EVERY TIME!!!! Also coffee...coffee is worth the struggle every time. 😍☕

Trying is Lying

A few things have been sticking out to me in my PD(personal development) lately....
#1 I SHOULD NOT HAVE MY PHONE IN THE BEDROOM WHEN I GO TO BED and....
#2 I SHOULD NOT KEEP SNOOZING!!! 
.
To be perfectly honest this is day 3 of me "trying" those things....but we all know what TRYING means....it means not giving our ABSOLUTE BEST EFFORT....so yea, Trying is basically Lying 🤦‍♀️ 
.
So here it is... I'm saying that I'm not TRYING this anymore. Instead I'm DOING the DARN THING!!!! 
. 
If you also struggle with something you have been "trying" to do, then it's time to face it too....c'mon we are adults. We have to parent ourself and no longer play the blame/excuses game. Ya with me?!?! ✊✊✊#5secondrule #melrobbins

Blessed

Happy Monday friend!!! Today I hope to encourage you to live in happiness and gratefulness because it's not Happy people who have it all...it's people who choose to be grateful for what they already have who are the happiest. 

Today I'm grateful for family I get to see often. Today I'm grateful for a job I love. Today I'm grateful for the chances I've taken to get to where I am. Today I'm thankful I search out and see the positive in situations and not listening to my negative self limiting beliefs.

To become HAPPIER it doesn't have to take years. It happens in the seconds of your day. Think about taking 1 minute to make a short list of what makes you grateful. Please share ONE thing in the comments you are grateful for! 👇👇👇 Your mood WILL change for the better. Be blessed and not stressed friends 😘👌 #celebratehappiness#blessednotstressed

Over-Trainer

Coming from a recovering OVER-TRAINER....do NOT push your body SO HARD day after day that your body CAN'T recover!🤚🤚 I was reminded of my own physical limits this weekend and I'm so thankful that I CAN have recovery time. Because that wasn't always the case...
.
When I was teaching 15+ classes a week I was NOT treating my body right. All the while I was eating a lot of food to try to make up for it. (And let's be real. I really freakin love food😍😂) I THOUGHT I was doing OK because "Yea....I "LOOKED" fit....so I must "BE" fit, right!!?!?!? 
|W|R|O|N|G|
.
It wasn't until I started REALLY listening to my body that I realized I was doing WAY MORE HARM THAN GOOD. So things needed to change. I stopped teaching as much, but I have to be honest....a year and a half ago when I stopped teaching that many classes I was worried about 2 things...
👉#1 how the heck am I going to stay fit! ..because my body is used to sweating so much...and..
👉#2 the food!?!?! Will I still be able to eat!!?!??!! 
.
The answer is YES. We CAN train less and YES we CAN eat and YES we CAN get results!!!! I work out now 4-5 days a week....30-40 min each day!!!!! I'm AMAZED at what my body CAN do when I treat it right. Do you need to start treating your body right too?!?!💁‍♀️💁‍♀️💁‍♀️ Because you AREN'T ALONE!!!! I'm not only looking for 10 new clients but I'm looking for people who ALSO want to help their friends and family. I run my Virtual Fit Clubs WITH the people I mentor. My Training and Coaching is free. You just do the same program I am doing! If you are ready for a positive healthy change then reach out ASAP! My next Virtual Fit Club starts in September 2nd. Let's get results TOGETHER! 😘

Secret Sauce

Is sweat the secret sauce!!?!? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 My answer is yes...also determination and a REAL WANT to become better, happier and healthier! ✊✊✊ Either you WANT this enough to show up....or you don't. When it comes down to it...your WHY needs to be stronger than just "I wanna look good" .....it needs to be deeper rooted. its gotta be that Make you CRY ...kinda WHY..... I digress....So let me go back....👉👉👉SWEAT AND TEARS ARE THE SECRET SAUCE FOR THE BEST LIFE 💪😭#itsworthit #weareworthit #virtualbootcamp#virtualfitclub

Feelings

I used to base my decisions on how I felt in that moment....and guess what!?!!?! It didn't get me where I wanted to be....Are you FEELING a little TOO much?!?!🤷‍♀️🤔

95% of decisions are made with our feelings. 
So should you ask yourself ....
👉 Do I FEEL like starting a side business?
👉 Do I FEEL like getting up and working out?
👉 Do I FEEL like stepping outside my comfort zone and asking for a raise?
👉 Do I feel like bringing up that conversation with that person who continues to hurt me?

The answer is most likely NO...YOU (95% of the time) dont FEEL like doing ANY of those things!!!!! So stop asking yourself how you FEEL about these questions. Because guess what!?!!? We don't FEEL like doing much...that's NATURAL. There's nothing wrong with you. It's human nature. But if you ACTUALLY want a better life then you need to stop listening to feelings. 

So HOW do you develop habits to have enough motivation to overcome FEELINGS??? You do it by thinking of the outcome when you FINNISH those tasks. EVERYDAY. And do NOT say ....tomorrow I will FEEL like starting this....Next month I will FEEL ready to take my health more seriously... Next year I Feel I will have more time to take that on...

✋✋✋stop FEELING....✊✊✊start DOING. Fear and Feelings are what's holding you back. Planning and Action will propel you forward. Write down what you want. Make a list of ACTIONS to get there. And start TODAY. you won't FEEL ready...EVER. SO GET OVER IT. and do the darn thing. RIGHT NOW. ✊✊

True to Your Word

BE.TRUE.TO.YOUR.WORD. Today it hit me..."how often do I say I am going to do something then I procrastinate and put it off...till tomorrow!!?!??!" 
..
Well I realize its happening in the area of my work and my sleep. Although my schedule has been a bit off lately I'm NOT going to use that as an excuse or let myself off the hook. If I don't own up to what I SAY I'M GONNA DO...then I Will NEVER be where I wanna be!!!! Know what I'm saying ?!??!💁‍♀️ 
..
Are you also coming up with a list of WHY You haven't accomplished something...and letting it be OHHH KAYYYY!!?!?! Have you done it for too long!?!?!? Am I talking directly to YOU because you KNOW what I'm talking about!??!?! You have that thing you know you MUST do but it causes pain, or its "hard" or maybe you are too scared to fail and you think the timing will be right TOMORROW!!!! HOLD UP AND HEADS UP✋✋✋....the timing is not the problem it's you. and the SOLUTION isn't the timing...its ALSO YOU. its YOUR DESICION to talk the Talk AND walk the walk. You got this!! START NOW!!!!

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 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️).

But I don't say NO to the things that scare me. I know better 😉👍 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 😛) 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. ✊✊✊
