Love Letter to Myself

I asked Eddie over the new year in what way could I become a better wife, Coach, Instructor, Friend and person.....Because if there's one thing I want to become this year , it's BETTER. So his response was ..."realize you are already awesome." 
I shot him down so fast when he told me that... with...."thanks but what can I ACTUALLY WORK ON.?!?!" 

It's not really hitting me until now what he meant by that. Am I living for the future or in THIS MOMENT? Am I Truly appreciating what I've accomplished so far!? And MAYBE giving myself more credit is that missing piece for me???? I always thought recognition of yourself as a very conceited thing, but is it!?!??! If I wasn't me but a friend of mine, I would shout Sarah out quite a bit .... I would tell her she's freaking crushing it. I would tell her that her strength on the inside matches her strength on the outside and I am inspired by her. EVERYDAY. I would tell her I love her and despite her broken home and heartache she grew up in, she did not let the word VICTIM become her. Even on the days it's hard. She looks for the good in people. She loves them. She wants the best for them. She also makes the best PUPPY CHOW I've ever had. Yea.....when I think about it, I'm pretty blessed to know and also be Sarah. 

I didn't mean for this post to be a love letter to my self. But hey, tbh it feels pretty good and I'd recommend for you to do it it too. Step outside yourself. Look at the love you bring to this world... Isn't that enough to love yourself back? I think it is. 💓💕💓 #mindsetreset #transform2k19

Who Dis?

New mindset....who dis?! 💁🏽‍♀️ Remember your new life will cost you your old one. New habits to replace old ones. I'm still transforming daily and I know it takes work but replacing new and better ways is ALWAYS worth it. So take a look at the life you want. It won't happen over night but it WILL happen when you are consistent. 
Think about the areas of your life that can improve and focus on one area at a time...starting with mindset. Here's a few tricks that have helped me along the way....
💁🏽‍♀️Audiobooks on personal development and growth on your way to work or first thing every morning
💁🏽‍♀️Hang out with New positive friends who uplift you rather than gossip. 
💁🏽‍♀️A health plan with your fitness and nutrition to help set you up for success 
💁🏽‍♀️Getting more sleep! Keep your phone out of your bedroom. It will help 👌🏼😉
💁🏽‍♀️Gratitude journal to remember what you have and not take it for granted
.
Never underestimate the power of a strong mind. You never have to hold yourself back again when you are mentally powerful!!!! Lets crush it!!!!#transform2k19

Little But Mighty

💕We may be little, but we are mighty💕
.
Love you Kayla Tatman 😍😘 Thanks for crushing the Chest and Back workout with me!!!!!! 3 more days to go before I finish this program.....for the second time!!!!! Holy wow y'all.

It seriously Feels good to have a plan and to stick with it. Sure I might be an instructor and teach my own Virtual and in person Fitness classes but for my OWN workouts I LOVE following a program. I don't have to think about anything else but my own body and form.... 

It takes me back to when I was a kid and loving Tae Bo and Denise Austin vids. I've heard people say they can't workout at home....and is it you physically CAN'T or you just WON'T!? 🤔 When you find you can fit FITNESS in anwhere ANYTIME, then it's EASIER to stick to your goals. So have a plan....and a back up plan 😉 Then there are less excuses to stop you. Make your environment suitable to achieve your goals and trust me, you are more likely to succeed 😉👌🏼 #nevermissamonday #virtualfitclub#virtualbootcamp #transform2k19 #mindsetreset#transformationweek #sweatwithsarah#thesweatlifewithsarah

In the House

If there's nothing in my house but veggies.....then I tend to eat my veggies ✊🏼 and if there were doritos I would eat them too....so that's why I just can't buy those "snacks". I know my weaknesses and self control is NOT one of my strengths 😂 I'm not saying you need to have self control to be healthy(again. I don't have it💁🏽‍♀️)....but what helps me is NOT buying the junk. And when you DO actually get hungry, yes you DO crave vegetables. 😉👌🏼#veggiesmost #day1 #diaryofmydetox #vegandetox#absaremadeinthekitchen #transform2k19

Best Day Ever

#bestdayever .....Dreaming of the beach from last years cruise (and 11 days until me and Candace 'Rose' Post leave for the one this year 😍

This pic brings me so much happiness (well come on, its the beach #nuffsaid , right💁🏽‍♀️) but this pic also represents my BEST life......I'm not saying its my BEST looking pic, but instead I realize I'm only there because my BEST self showed up to live my life and if she didn't, I wouldn't have had that experience or this picture taken or the friends that I have now 😍😭😍🙏🙏🙏..... 

Let me take ya back about a decade....
I started sharing my passion for Zumba and choreography on YT about 10 years ago. Ya wanna know what sucks about YT!?!?! THE FRICKIN DISLIKE BUTTON!!!!! lol, too many times I would have more thumbs downs than thumbs up, like for reals people.... but something inside me said "KEEP GOING". and I went from shy, chewing gum not smiling on camera to...still awkward 🤣😋but not caring what others think....and ya know that's been the MOST FREEING part of this journey!!!!! I was able to meet so many people, have so many awesome experiences and live my BEST life because I did NOT let fear or failure or rejection get in my way. I'm not saying its easy, but I'm saying ITS.SO.WORTH.IT. 

I hear from others who are scared or even confused on how to achieve goals...they might say to me "I want to be a size 6" or "I want to have a successful fitness business" and my answer to them would be to do 3 things.....
#1 Rate yourself 1-10 in these areas of your life.
👌🏼Your passion
👌🏼Your Health
👌🏼Your relationships
👌🏼Your business or job
👌🏼Your happiness and hobbies 
#2 List Why you had a rating low or high.
#3 Now write down if your BEST (#10) self showed up that day and HOW would they plan and ACT on their goals? What would they do to end the day, month and year at level 10????? Because that's how YOU must act. Sure you won't be motivated to be a 10 everyday but if you start ACTING THE PART, then trust me. You WILL get there. And it's a journey you guys. I'm not where I want to be. But I'm freaking thankful that I'm allowing my BEST SELF to show up more often than my MEAN GIRL. Lets make 2019 the BEST yet, shall we!!?!??!!#mindsetreset

"I'm a FAST learner and have learned so much over the last few years and I'm excited to take on more challenges!!!!"
"I'm NOT sorry for being who I am. I was created to become GREAT. So lets go!!!!"
I'm a pro at organization and becoming better everyday and I improve daily by working from a list."
"I hit EVERY goal in my business because I show up to do my best and my best is always ENOUGH."

Alright, those are my new truths. I would love to hear one of your NEW truths below!!!!! Lets support eachother EVEN MORE in 2019!!!!!!!#transform2k19 #mindsetreset #transformationweek

IT WORKS, Because HOW MANY TIMES do we say to ourselves..."THIS IS MY YEAR TO.....(you fill in the blank)".... then we tell no one or only 1 or 2 people (who also fall off the...) and then 365 days later we make the SAME goal!?!?!?! Ummmmm somethings gotta change. And that something is YOU telling SOMEONE what your goals are and Finding accountability to crush this not just in Jan, but in April July Oct... but all the months forever and ever(yes, rest days and treats and carbs encouraged tho...I aint cray people) 😋🦄

Hair Up!

Hair up & Handle it!!!!!!💪😁

Always remember to look back ONLY to see what DIDN'T work for you. No blaming, no being upset about things that did or didn't happen for you. Instead lets get a HANDLE ON IT and NOT repeat the past!!!! If something doesn't work....do something about it!!!! An awesome life doesn't just happen, you have to be ....

#1 PRESENT
#2 PASSIONATE 
#3 PURPOSEFUL

So ask yourself.... Am I being PRESENT in this moment or distracted?
Am I PASSIONATE in what I want for my life and is my BEST self showing up to it or am I not planning for success in the areas I want to improve on??? And third, Am I living a PURPOSEFUL & driven life by loving myself and others or am I complaining about my circumstances and the people that frustrate me?!?!?! 

Only YOU can answer these questions, but trust me, When you live in your truth you will know it by the love you have for yourself and others. Time will pass regardless so if you want to be happy, healthy and successful ya gotta get some clarity on how.
Now go do some good! 2019 has only BEGUN!!!!#transform2k19 #mindsetreset #mindsetreset
