Diving Deep

Diving deep into my Personal Development this month and I want to share with you what I'm uncovering because maybe we are similar and maybe we can also learn from each other.

What's my greatest fear?!
Not being successful and not being able to help others have success.

How is fear stopping me?
My desire for control is what's holding me back....possibly my rebel..."do it myself" nature.

In what ways am I letting fear take over this control?
Avoiding the HARD work.
Using humor to hide my pain.
Doing busy work when I should provide room for growth for myself and others.
Blaming myself and blaming others.

What is my out of control responses?
Avoidance. Anger. Self Pity. Blame.

What should be my fear LESS response?
Showing up with love to myself and others.

How do I accomplish this?
By recognizing my fear and CHOOSING the RIGHT action.
Asking for help.
Be the student more than I am the teacher.
Celebrate what I and others have already accomplished.

Ya, know.....for me the physical fitness is something I tend to dive into because for a LONG time I used overtraining as a way to cope with my emotional pain. I also struggled with being accepted and loved so for me I used food as a control....but in actuality it controlled me. My emotional eating and bingeing was at an all time high while relationships in my life were very toxic. I can see how the fear also responded with panic attacks and skin rashes and depression. Fear starts IN the body and while it hurts to uncover it, it actually will lead you to the REAL truth you MUST face.

My avoidance and INACTION kept me stuck & getting to the other side of this takes guts guys and while my past struggles are nearly gone the FEAR and the negative reactions are still present but I know the work that needs to be done is ALWAYS worth it.

So I invite you to copy my questions. Write down your OWN answers and look for the pain...don't suppress it. The ONLY way past is THROUGH. Trust me. If we are gonna make 2021 amazing then we gotta do Mindset work too #wegotthis #fearless #takecontrolin2021

Happy New Year

NOT how we rang in the new year...but hey its fitting Happy 2021 friends. And yes, something I'm looking forward to... Dressing up & trips with this goofy stud again....hopefully. What’s something you are looking forward to!?

Fatter

Have you ever been called fat!?!?! Me too. 10 minutes ago.... in response to my transformation pic I shared earlier. I think its important that you all know that what others think of you DOES NOT MATTER. As I said in my list of things I've GAINED through this challenge ....#2 reminded me of just that....
2 > our measurement for success is NOT based on what others see as success, its based on the measurements WE put in place and that WE DECIDE.

Who We Are Right Now

And for 100 points for my team in our Virtual Health Club, here's my before & after! We kinda all joked about how for some of us nothing really changed....but to me there's SO MUCH MORE to track than JUST weightloss or muscle gain...(or less tan).

Lets talk about who we are RIGHT NOW and what this last challenge has taught us.....

1 > we learned that we are MORE than a number on the scale or clothing size.

2 > our measurement for success is NOT based on what others see as success, its based on the measurements WE put in place and that WE DECIDE.

3 > Our insides are SO MUCH happier and healthier bc of the INCREDIBLE Superfoods from Darin Olein(Co Host of Down To Earth & creator of our daily shake) I mean come on, pooping 2x a day is amazing. Amirite!?!!

4 > our mindset has shifted. We are realizing this is NOT a diet....or FAD... It's becoming a lifestyle bc of the habits we have created

5 > "Water first "has become a staple to so many of us now and bc of that we have been able to cut back on the empty nutrition/high calorie drinks.

6 > we learned to not waste time with our workouts. Because these programs don't mess around

7 > Our Families have gotten healthier too because they have watched us choose better nutrition and even jumped in our workouts with us and asked for their own shakes....which in my opinion leaves an even greater impact on their lives than we realize.

8 > We have gained closer Online friends because of what we have shared and what we have overcome TOGETHER

9 > we learned that we DO have the power to CONTINUE this journey. Because we aren't quitters....sure we fall off time to time but to me, that's part of the process and we should embrace EVERY part of it....and heck have a frickin carb when we feel like it

10 We are OVERALL BETTER....to ourselves and to the people around us. I mean I wanna keep on hanging out with ya

See you in the next group guys!
January 1st "Recommit & Never Quit"
January 11th "Take Control Of your Life"

Peace out 2020!!!!

Peace out 2020!!!! While my motto was "Vision 2020" this time last year...I've decided this year to choose "Back To The Basics" and focusing on the simple yet easy to forget BASICS that I know works.

I'm currently putting together a (FREE) daily and weekly checklist PDF to focus on improving daily habits with a focus on Personal development and (ALSO FREE) weekly workouts with me......(think book club/accountability & support group for the next 12 months.)

If you are in my free group or email list then you will get access to this checklist tomorrow!

Here's to a Back to Basics 2021 #backtobasics2021 #healthyandwealthycoaching

I See You, Triceps

Ohhhh kayyyyyyyy...I see you triceps.
Tbh, I wasn't gonna post this bc I INSTANTLY go to me thinking that EVERYONE is thinking......."oh look, Sarah showing off again"...but then I slap that mean girl mantra right outta me.... Why!?

Well first off Ya'll aren't jerks and I'm sorry for thinking that for a second about you
And secondly, I'm posting this because if I'm not here to show up for me and PROVE to myself AND you that it's GOOD to embrace our hard work, then what kinda Coach am I!?!?!?

So how about it!? What do YOU wanna brag about this year and also take with you into 2021?!

For me, its not just the strength gains... it's the strength of my mindset that I'm taking with me. It's knowing that the journey is even MORE important than the destination and life is too short so I'm living more in the present moment for myself and others....and yes, sometimes that means unplugging from social media and work...& that's OHHHKAYYYYY.

That's what I'm taking with me...thanks 2020 for teaching me that.

Confidence

Confidence is learning that the only person you need to make proud ...IS YOURSELF.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from the Tatmans, Meyers, Beamans & Placencias

When you have siblings from Indiana, Florida, Kansas and Idaho you are thankful for the ways we can all connect online. I love you guys so much!!!! Thanks for the impromptu chat and photo!!! You all are beautiful people inside and out and so thankful for all of you!!!

Life is Really Beautiful

My boys I hesitated posting this because this time of year can be hard for some. I've seen a lot of heart ache, breakups, divorce & death this year.

My heart breaks for those having a hard holiday season. Because I too remember those holidays I didn't want to be around for....hang in there and just know there are better times, not just ahead but in THIS MOMENT....

If you see a family member (or friend) snuggling a pet or being creative or helpful or working hard to provide be sure you stop and tell them how much they mean to you.

Life is really beautiful when you stop and take a MOMENT to enjoy it. Gratitude doesn't just go a long way...it goes ALL THE WAY to happiness.

Your Online Biz

Running your own health & wellness business is NOT hard to do. Making healthier decisions is NOT hard to do. what IS HARD is MAKING yourself show up for it. CONSISTENTLY.

Think about it- our schooling, our careers and GENERATIONS of our families have all trained us to work for someone else- as in if we don't show up- we get fired(or detention).

That's NOT the case with Your own Online Business & Health goals- we can show up whenever we DO or DO NOT feel like it. So yes, you have to be STRONGER than your doubts and weaknesses and well basically your genetics too. But YES you CAN do this too.

The ONLY way is to do it when you DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.(& I mean rest as needed, guys....I'm not a hustling, lack of sleep person here. I hope you know that about me by now.) #beachvacays #gamergirl #netflix

What I'm saying though is you MUST Get out of your comfort zone RIGHT NOW and you will have success - if you don't then you will remain stuck until you think something better comes along and then you will be faced with the SAME struggles. Trust me, excitement for something NEW only lasts so long...then you realize its a DECISION.

I've been in this biz long enough to see people jump in and OUT of this and they end up signing up for another company, business, health fad..etc...and then failing AGAIN, and AGAIN and AGAIN. It's not the business, your plan or your health....it's your mindset 100%%%%

Going forward and into 2021- do yourself a favor- stop breaking promises to yourself. If you want something- DO IT. You don't need to search for your answers- they are there. What you need to do is TAKE ACTION ON IT & this time- dive into personal development along the way.

Your mindset CAN strengthen when you DECIDE it can. Stop bringing the fails from your past into your present. Learn from them- begin again & when you feel the doubts creep in - face them. Don't run from the uncomfortable- go towards it and that my friend is where you learn you WANT to be. Trust me on this. And go do the thing you have been thinking about. Less searching. More doing. #yougotthis
