Which Are You?

Which are you!?!?! Part of the comfortable and fearful or the uncomfortable and fearless??? I've been both....heck sometimes even both on the SAME DAY. 🤷🏽‍♀️So how does one get motivated ENOUGH to stay driven, face fears, get uncomfortable and ACTUALLY get results(in any area of life)?

I asked myself this question & also get that question ALOT... & I needed to remind myself (& others) that motivation doesn't happen TO us - instead we CREATE it. Our WANT for change and a better life is GREATER than our WANT to stay in the same "comfortable" position we are in now.

Because YES, being comfortable is easy- stepping outside our comfort zone is not.....but in 5 years wouldn't it be AWESOME to have a life where you are healthier, your relationships are healthier, you don't worry about money, you can travel more and be proud of the MANY lives you've changed?! That's what gets me motivated. EVERYDAY. So ask yourself. Are you looking forward to tomorrow or are you living for the weekends!? Are you ready to WORK towards a future you get excited about!?!?!? On Thursday I'm going live in a Private group sharing what I've done these last 5 years. Interested in my Fit-influencer Sneak peek?!?! 

GO. HERE. 💁🏽‍♀️ 

Right/Wrong Questions

The reason why we can't find the RIGHT answer is because we are asking the WRONG questions. 

Before I looked into being my own boss I would ask myself....
💁🏽‍♀️Do I have What it takes?
💁🏽‍♀️What if people judge me? 
💁🏽‍♀️What if I don't know HOW to do this!?
💁🏽‍♀️What if I'm not as (pretty, smart, fit) enough?

All THOSE questions are...sorry to say but, SELFISH. All of my questions were about ME and my OWN self limiting beliefs were feeding the fire of self deprecation. Jealousy and envy of others soon followed and I fell RIGHT back to where I was. Frustrated, broke & another statistic.😭😭😭
 
I listened to a few audio books and they mentioned asking yourself BETTER questions. So I did just that and I started to see the REAL difference between the answers I got.

💁🏽‍♀️Could my friends, family & strangers benefit from what THIS is!?!?
💁🏽‍♀️Could a few thousand dollars a month help me & my family? 
💁🏽‍♀️Could a few thousand extra dollars per month help other people?!
💁🏽‍♀️Could people find hope in what I have to say & learn from my own experiences?
💁🏽‍♀️Could I provide that support & community & love for just one person who has been needing this??
💁🏽‍♀️ Does the company I partnered with provide EVERYTHING(meal plans, workouts supplements, personal development & a compensation plan) that CAN truly change lives...like it did MINE!?!?!? 

YES. YES. YES.

Those are the right questions y'all. Don't let doubt and fear stop you from living an amazing life. Because that's what THIS is. Amazing... and I'm still learning how incredible this is for not just me, but the people who start to ask the RIGHT questions. ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 Need my help to show you HOW? I'm a message away 😘😘😘

Dreaming of the Beach

I'm dreaming of the next beach trip (in 39 days) and thankful I'm going to be spending it with people who EARNED IT because they know how to live their life to their fullest potential!!!!
And that's what my My Self Care challenge word for the day is .."POTENTIAL". Which if you google it is 'having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.'

What I LOVE about the word potential is that I LOVE that I see it in others. Most of the time I see it- WAYYYYYYY before they Do. That's what a Coach does- right?! Well to be honest this one took me a while to believe because I FIRST had to believe it for myself!!! Before I thought people with potential were ONLY lucky. They knew the RIGHT people and that's WHY they had potential. 
🤚🤚🤚FALSE. FALSE. FALSE. 

I've come to find that potential is not a word that FINDS people. Just like SUCCESS doesn't fall into someones lap. People find IT by learning something- practicing it daily and sharing it with the world. Remember the whole "10,000 hours it takes to become a Master" saying!?!? Yea, have you worked on your craft or passion 10,000 hours yet?! Oh its not perfect yet!? Listen it never will be PERFECT- because we are always growing & always improving, but only if we are taking REAL ACTION DAILY on it. 

Anyway, that's the convo I had to have with myself- day after day and I realized that sure I'm no pro- but I've gotten better at a few things- and I now see my OWN potential which gives me SO MUCH EXCITEMENT for the future. And I'm not just talking MY future. I'm talking YOUR future. Ya see, I can see what you don't. I see the potential of YOUR life because I'm not looking at your imperfections. I'm looking at what your life COULD be. And the possibilities and opportunities RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW is MORE than enough live to your fullest potential. And when you believe that- you also SEE THAT. Truly. Look at the opportunities. Look at the people DOING exactly what you want to do!!! Learn from them and take action. 

I LOVE that I see potential in you. I hope you see it too. And I hope you start living your your best life.....and ask me HOW...... Because, babe, we going places 💕✌🏼😘

Live, Love & Lift

I'm gonna LIVE, LOVE & LIFT myself and others UP. And btw, I don't want you to think I'm vain talking about things I love about myself- because it's day 2 in our "What do you love about yourself?' Challenge. So I'm gonna share regardless😘...here it goes. I actually asked Eddie what I should write down for day 2 and he said - "you like to cuddle" . lol. I laughed and said thats not what I LOVE about myself...but wait, maybe it is?? And yes, it's true... I'm a touchy, huggy, cuddly & emotional type of person. I even go into target and have to touch ALLLLL the clothes bc I want to FEEL it ALL!!! But, it's true- I DO love that about me. To me that means that I'm OK with getting close to people and I love that I can be loving and let my guard down, because that wasn't always the case.

I remember when I was little getting made fun of for crying ALOT. (thanks older bro...it's all good, you are nice now 😘 but when I was little as soon as I was looked at as weak I SHUT IT DOWN!!!! (as Gordon Ramsey would say ;) 

This harder, angrier side even second guessed 'nice' people because I thought that was fake- and 'cryers' yea, that meant weak to me now too. It wasn't until I got married and Eddie helped me peel back the layers of who I really was. Because yep, I want to feel loved and it's so so important to me now that it's no wonder I'm in the health/fitness/self-care field. I want so bad for others to know it's OK to be your true self. It's OK to love yourself. It's OK to cry. It's OK to be close to people. It's OK to trust people. (The right, uplifting people, btw ;)

I once heard we accept the love we think we deserve. And I couldn't agree more with that saying. Looking back I thought I deserved less - so I accepted less. But I don't anymore. And I'm thankful...so so thankful for that. Yes I LOVE that I am lover of people, and of life. And YES, Life is so much better when we live in that love <3 Isn't that what Living really is about!?!?! To love others(including ourself) regardless of race, size, sexual orientation, age...any of it!!?!? I think YES. 👭👫👬 #loveandbeloved #liveinlight#transform2k19

What I Love About Me

This week in my Self Care Challenge(which you can totes join for free btw,) we are naming one thing each day that we that love about ourselves. And I thought I would share here also. 💕💕💕

I love my "Acceptance" of circumstances that I CAN Change and also Acceptance of circumstances I CANNOT Change. When I stopped putting SO MUCH TIME into trying to change things that, well... really couldn't change. I started to focus more of my own energy on what I CAN change. 

My thoughts, My actions and MY reactions became priority #1. And ya know, that's not selfish at all. I became more loving to those around me and I didn't take things so personally either. I finally FREED myself of person who I thought I was and I accepted that I didn't want to be in that negative head space anymore. I accepted a NEW story and began to take a new path in life. I haven't figured it all out- but I love that I allow myself to accept where I was at and look at what I could change. I encourage you today to take a look at what you can do today to accept and love who you are ENOUGH to write a new story for your life too. We have one life friends. Make it a happy one.
