You Are Worth the Struggle

118222795_10102336053627172_1537169238387064944_n.jpg

Too often I hear people say they are too scared to try something new...not because it's actually scary but because they might fail, or suck, or look stupid trying.

Since when did failing become Sooo terrible?!?!? We gotta embrace it, NOT run from it!! How long has the thing that’s scared you been on your mind or on your to do list?

I get it though, I SO OFTEN waited on the side lines watching other people do EXACTLY what I wanted to do....and I'm not just talking strength here people. I'm talking health, career, relationships, financial freedom...TRUE HEALTH in every sense.

It wasn't until I realized I NEEDED the guidance and a system already ready to show me the way...then when that was evident I still didn't trust me and was afraid to fail. AGAIN. So I waited, and watched. For years.

Until one day, I said SCREW this, I need to at least TRY....otherwise I will never know....and yes, there have been hard and harder days, but then it hits me, I am doing EXACTLY what I set out to do. I am LIVING exactly how I only imagined.

What if MORE people could see my story as hope for their own?

What if owning my stories and showing that my struggles turned to my strengths, helped not just me, but gave others permission to try too?

That's why I share, and show up daily. Because I want YOU to know that you are worth the struggle too.

You CAN do the difficult things. Failing is and always will be a part of your journey. That’s the beauty of life. Show  Grow  Go 

Btw, if you are still reading this book ...Id love to hear from you too. What's something you are working towards that scares you??

Fear Has One Job

I'd rather live my life doing things that scare me than choosing to stay safe and comfortable. 

But that wasn't always the case because FEAR has ONE job. Keeps you stuck, even when you are miserable.

My #1 Fear....is hurting others. I can trace it back to relationships I've had and I STAYED stuck because of FEAR I would let people down. My body knew it wasn't right and tried to show me OVER and OVER through nail biting, panic attacks, skin rashes & anxiety.

So what changed & how was I able to say that it's time to focus on ME?!?! Well to be honest I don't have just ONE answer because being the stubborn person I am it took MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS.

But I now ask myself,..."before I say YES, is this something I WANT to do FOR ME, or is it out of guilt & trying to PLEASE OTHERS? Because you can't pour from an empty cup without mixing in guilt, resentment and shame.

I ran from these feelings for YEARS because I was too afraid to admit the real truth....
That I was basing my worth on what I did FOR OTHERS....and guys, when you do that, NO ONE IS HAPPY. Not even the person you are trying to please.

It's a hard truth to face but I encourage you today to ask yourself....

"Am I staying in a job that depletes me or inspires me to learn more and gives me the energy I NEED so that I CAN pour into others?"

"Am I staying in a relationship that depletes me or does it inspire me to love more and gives me the love I need?"

"Am I staying stuck with my(mental, emotional physical and/ or financial) health goals?"

"Do I need the guidance to learn from others or will I continue to stay where I am and envy those with success?"

Only YOU can answer those questions, but I encourage you to take a chance to sit down and write down what you WANT and NEED on your life.

When you OWN it you can start to make the right decisions toward the path that fulfills you. And that is NOT selfish, because when you choose that path everyone around you benefits and the people who DO love you will support you in these decisions...the ones that don't will distance themselves. And wouldn't you rather have a tribe talking about how awesome you are behind your back, instead of pointing out your faults? I know I do!!!!

You got this And if you need a friend to talk it out, you know where to find me

Ya know what I love?! Seeing families get healthier together.

Eddie's been doing this program too and I LOVE that he is. And tbh, he is perfect to me, so if he changes physically that really doesn't matter to me.

Ahhhh, Mornings

I never used to look forward to mornings. Just a few years ago when we both worked full time and had jobs (with bosses), we had to wake up before 5am so I could drop Eddie off at work so I could teach my 6am classes. I don't know how I juggled it all back then.

Teaching 15+ classes a week, personal training another 20-30+ hours AND adding Online Coaching to this was just crazy! But it was possible only because I someday dreamed of having moments like this.

I never want to take for granted the fact that we now create our own schedule...and tbh, our relationship is the best it's ever been and I truly believe it's because we get to see each other more.

Life is full of choices and opportunities, if you ever feel like you cannot go one more year stuck then let's have a chat. I am mentoring new Coaches to learn how to work from home and build something that can give them hope for a better future. Yes this is work, and yes you have to show up, but working for yourself is one of the most freeing feelings ever.

Fill out "Become An Online Coach" form and we can see if this can work for you too. If you never try, you will never know. If I can give you any advice, it's JUST DO IT...especially if you don't feel ready...because ready is a lie. Most people will wait their whole life waiting for the perfect moment that never comes.

I waited nearly 2 years to do this because I was waiting for THAT moment.... it never came.... instead I realized that to BECOME the person strong enough to do this, I needed to ACT like that person...as in TAKE ACTION towards it. And that first step changed my life forever. πŸ’• Ready or not. Let's do this.

You Need to Hear This

I feel like YOU need to hear this today...

You need to draw a line in the sand. Don't let one more person talk you out of your dreams. It's not anyone’s job to tell you what you can or can't do. Ya feel me!?

So what?!?! So you might have failed in the past. That doesn't define what you CAN and WILL accomplish tomorrow.

I could have said, "Yup failed at that online business..... & failed at that gym job... & failed at college... probably could never do the entrepreneur thing." .....but something inside of me reminded me...."Do I REALLY want to work on someone else’s dreams for the rest of my life....or work hard on building my own?!?!" UMMMMM, OPTION B. PLZ.

Can you relate here?πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
I was driven but I was lost.
I hated showing up even on my sickest and most tired days for a paycheck that wasn't even enough to give me ANY sense of security.

I was sad I missed time away from friends and family bc I couldn't afford to NOT work.

I knew if I didn't change then nothing would change, so I reached back out to the coach who told me about this. I OWNED the fact that my excuses were just that....EXCUSES...and why DEFEND feeling miserable when I wanted to FIGHT for a life of freedom!?

Ya can't have both. YOU can't keep WANTING change when in reality you are taking NO STEPS towards it!!! That's a lie. Do you REALLY want to stay the same MORE than you want change?

So what would it take to make that change? Is it enough for you? Is it enough for the people you love? Is it worth fighting for? If it IS worth it, then keep reading....
πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Are YOU driven but kinda lost at what to do?

Are YOU gonna show up and do the work & sacrifice some time NOW so someday you CAN have more time later?

Are YOU a dreamer who also envisions a life of healthy living, freedom & travel?

Do YOU want to leave a legacy and impact the world in a really positive way?!

Sames.

That's why I became a Coach and I'm looking for ONLY 5 more people to train THIS SATURDAY for our group that begins on September 13th. I will train you HOW, you just gotta be willing to show up & learn as you go.

Let's go dreamer. We got work to doπŸ’•

This Guy

117813874_10102327061203062_8294856138095581447_o.jpg

This guy. πŸ’• saved my favorite hello fresh meal to make tonight βž‘️ BIBIMBAP πŸ˜ Coming home today makes me realize how much I'm in love with my best friend, Eddie. Not because he makes me food but because he is kind and funny, tells me about his day and gives me long hugs.

Currently him and Batman are sleeping next to me while I watch Gilmore Girls & it feels like vacay just started. πŸ’•

I hope you all experience a love that feels like this and if you are with someone be sure to tell them how much you love them and show it not only with words but also actions. EVERYDAY.

Love you so much Eddie Placencia πŸ’• I missed you like cray

Spent the last 5 days driving back home and knew I had to get this done because on the days I DON'T workout I feel TERRIBLE.

I know some people say it's hard to workout and they don't have the energy, but TRUST ME. The energy you create gives you WAYYY more(healthy and long term) energy than any redbull, monster, quick sugar or anything else for that matter.

Your body was created to MOVE and a body that creates motion, stays in motion, and stays healthy. I know some days will be harder than others...I know it was for me today, but I can't quit on me...or YOU. Thanks for holding me accountable to my goals too guys. Your check ins on social media and our private groups motivates me to do better. EVERY DAY. πŸ’•

Wanna be workout buddies?

Goals Are Only Dreams

Goals are only dreams until you decide to step outside your comfort zone.

Making dreams a reality takes consistent work, but it's also the most rewarding work because it gives you the freedom you thought you could only dream about before.

Whatever path you are on, keep going. Keep moving forward. Don't let doubt take over, especially doubting yourself.

What you want and what you dream about IS IMPORTANT. God wouldn't give you a dream if He didn't think you could handle it. πŸ’•
