No More Try
Change begins at the end of your comfort zone and success happens when you stay consistent to those positive changes day after day. ✊✊✊
So get out of your comfort zone.TODAY. No more doubts. No more "TRYS". No more fears. No more negative self talk...
Instead I say YES to loving myself. I say YES to loving others. I say YES to staying true to my word. I say YES to DOING what I said I would do!!! I say YES to having the faith to take the next step!!!!!
Because I KNOW what quitting looks like and I'm ready to KNOW what my BEST life looks and feels like. We don't get yesterday back friends so do your BEST with the REST of your life 😘👌#doyourbestforgettherest #onlinecoach#sweatwithsarah #virtualfitclub
Today is the Start
Today is the start of my Health & Wellness groups and we are sharing a quote that motivates us. For me I chose this today .....
👉Success is not measured by what you do compared to what others do. It is measured by what you do with the ability God gave you. ZIG ZIGLAR
It's 's a great reminder because I think we ALL fall into the trap of comparison sometimes and we start to measure our success based on what OTHER people do or what they have accomplished. Well coming from a gal who constantly compares herself to others (less now because of PD, thank the Lord) I KNOW comparing ONLY leads to sadness and envy. So instead I remember that my journey is like NO ONE ELSE.
You have gifts that you will ALWAYS do better than me and I have gifts that you can't do as well as me. That's what makes us AWESOME and when I appreciate your gifts rather than judge them it helps me stay more on track with my OWN journey. I hope this helps you to do the same. I'm not perfect and never will be and that's ok. We are ALL perfectly imperfect and I love you and I love me for who we are now and who we will become. 😍😘😘😘#virtualfitclub #sweatwithsarah#thesweatlifewithsarah #virtualbootcamp
Do Something
"Look, girl....if you want something you have never had, then you must DO SOMETHING you have never done!" Yep, a real convo I had with myself MANY A TIMES. But I doubted myself. I thought I had to figure out this "fitness career" on my own. Because ONLY weak people ask for help....right!?!!?🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
WRONG!!!!! I'm able to run this business BECAUSE I was able to ask others for help. (Well that, and taking ACTION on what I learn 😘😍)
So what changed in me!? 🤷♀️How did I take that leap!?!? Well, first off I was sick of standing on the sidelines watching others ROCK this. I was becoming more envious and more stubborn because of the LACK OF ACTION I took on chasing my own dreams. Then it was probably the 1,000th time I heard it again...
.
LOOK, SARAH IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD THEN YOU MUST DO SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER DONE!!!!!
Finally I listened and it was probably God giving me all the signs and helping me look past my doubts and fears and judgement. So I did it. I became an Online Coach and it's saved me in so many ways. My relationships, my health, my finances...the list goes on. I'm sharing this because somewhere out there someone relates. And I know I can help. No, I'm not promising you Cold hard cash, because that's what scams and schemes do....instead I'm offering you a hand and letting you know that YES, THERE'S HOPE, And NO You aren't in this alone.
I have an Online Coaching Sneak peek going on This Thursday for anyone who might want to hear how to build an Online Coaching business. The info is |F|R|E|E| and you can ask me anything. Drop me a message if you want the details. I'm here to help. xoxo 😍😘
One More Thing
Stressed? And don't know HOW to make it better!?
Well It means you need to add ONE MORE THING to your life......Yea, that's right, over-achiever. You might think that there's NO WAY you can add one more thing to your plate, but when you become stressed you tend to isolate yourself from others and you try to "get caught up" by canceling plans with people you love.
Guess what!? The work and the busy will always be there so take time today to text that friend who lifts you up, who gives you energy, makes you laugh until you pee.... Yea, that friend. Make plans with them this weekend because stress can easily become isolation, leading to depression and anxiety and nobody's got time for that!!!!!!! Love and be loved and enjoy some fun. 😍😘😍😘
Over-Training
Truth moment....I used to look at exercise like a punishment for over-eating so I would spend hours on the treadmill in my teens. It then transitioned to binge eating and using my scale EVERY TIME I went to the bathroom.....ummmm yea, definitely not healthy.....then it turned into teaching SOOOO many fitness classes that I could literally eat like crap and I wouldn't really gain weight....but my joints were sore, I didn't sleep well and I felt TERRIBLE ALL THE TIME. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Then something clicked....not something.....but COACHING Clicked. I realized I was so fake on the inside and if I wanted to ACTUALLY help others then I needed to HELP MYSELF FIRST. So I cut back teaching fitness classes because overtraining IS dangerous yo......And I started committing to drinking more water, eating more veggies, and more sleep....OH THE GLORIOUS SLEEPS.😍 and I also checked in with my workouts..💁♀️💁♀️and.... Well, there's still times I question if I'm doing ENOUGH because I'm into Week #7 of my lifting program and to be honest with you I was worried going from a one hour workout 6 days a week to a 35 minute workout 4 days a week would mean losing my strength and muscle mass.......NOPE! Seems that my body enjoys the rest and carbs....and I'm not giving up either ✊✊✊
If there's hope for me, then there's hope for you too!!!! If you want to learn more about what really helped me then let's chat! My Virtual Fit Club is starting in ONE week. I truly believe that health is not just workouts & nutrition. Health is also self care and mindset and being sure you have the support you need because it's ALL vital to your success. Message me or comment below. I'm here to help. 😘✌
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
