Get Out of Your Own Way

GETOUT OF YOUR OWN WAY

Sometimes we need this reminder and a little self reflection. Think about it, in what way have you STOPPED before starting something that could lead you down the RIGHT path?

I can recall quite a few experiences that caused me to stay stuck.....in an unhealthy relationship... to scared & afraid to fail at Coaching......not seeking help for my emotional/binge eating....to name a few.

Fear gives us the illusion that if we do NOTHING then we don't get hurt, but in reality, it is manifesting the EXACT thing we fear...and that is NOTHING CHANGES FOR THE BETTER.

So the TIME IS NOW to get our of your way & let the dreamer & do-er in you STEP THE FREAK UP!!!!

Life is short and we are either living with POSITIVE CHANGES and EXPERIENCES or dying daily from not living in our truth that we SHOULD live and love ourselves so we can be BETTER for the people around us.

If you need a plan of action let's chat. Our community is all about confronting those fears and taking real and DOABLE action. TOGETHER.

Time to Detach?

Detachment is often looked at as a bad thing, but in reality it's those that stop letting fear take over, who are truly happiest.... Let me explain this in my own experience...

Do you remember when I owned my own fitness studio & closed after one year?

My fear of LOSS was STRONG. It told me that if I closed I would let everyone down. My fear told me I was a failure. My fear told me that I am not trying hard enough.

I almost hung on for ALL the wrong reasons & the one thing I did was DETACH from this fear.

Ya know your body will tell you when somethings wrong. Anxiety, depression, anger, envy. These are all signs you probably don't need to be where you are at... whether it be a career or a relationship.

I had to listen to those signs and DETACH. Only THEN was I able to LOOK FOR hope.

Too often we only see the bad because we are ONLY LOOKING FOR IT. If we expect it &it happens, then we aren't let down, right?!

WRONG.

Our view is clouded when we CHOOSE to ONLY see the doubts, the judgements, the envy and the hopelessness.

I had to tell myself.....
"STOP LOOKING FOR THE WRONG, WHEN THE RIGHT CHOICES ARE PROBABLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU."

So instead of hanging on & losing more money & time & sleep... I detached from the situation so I could see the answer.

That answer came when my sister "jokingly" said, "Hey our renters are moving out, you guys should just move back home & buy our house."

If I hadn't seen this as the answer then I would have scoffed it off & stayed STUCK.

I'm so thankful she said that. Because moving back has been such a blessing & I have been able to find hope, clarity & even grow mentally physically & financially. I have been able to help people the way I set out to do, not only with their health but with their wealth too.

I know these roadblocks had to happen for me because that's where growth comes from.

I had to open my eyes & DETACH from the ego of being liked & accepted.

I had to act like I LIKED ME for me, & work on treating myself better.

It's a journey for all of us but I hope that you also DETACH from what no longer serves you so that you can see the opportunities for growth also.

Please ask yourself...."what do I need to detach from? What do I need to let go?"

I set out to help others, but we are only willing to accept the love and positive changes we THINK we deserve. And if we think we don't deserve it DEEP DOWN, then we continue to struggle and self sabotage. Please understand, all change begins within.

Let go of the judgements of yourself and others. Start from a place of love and acceptance. Your whole life can change when you do this. Love you guys.

Bla Bla Bla...

Bla bla bla... Now go workout.

(Exact convo with myself). Listen, I stayed up until 2am watching MANIFEST (So great btw) ....And when my alarm clock went off I slept in another hour, so my whole day just felt "off". I'm sure you know that feeling, so I had to stop over thinking about what I needed to get done and just START DOING.

Ya know what taking action does?! It silences the noise in your head....you know, that voice that gives you all the reasons to do OTHER things.

And exercise helps with that focus... ya think that oxygenated blood goes JUST to your muscles!?!

Nah man. You think more clearly after a sweat sesh and you start becoming the type of person who does what they "WISHED" they would do.

The work you do TODAY determines who you are, tomorrow. And if you need a plan, I'm here. (14 days until GLOW GETTER, want me to save ya a spot?!? in comments !) #sweatwithsarah #glowgetterchallenge

Not My Job

Good thing it isn't our job to make other people like us. It's our job to make sure that we like ourselves.

We do this through positive and loving thoughts, words and actions.

I get it guys, life can be tough when you feel you are doing the BEST you can and you continue to help others, try to be EVERYTHING for someone else.

You wait for validation and approval from others but it sometimes never comes.....but let's be honest, you are ONLY seeking it from others because you haven't given YOURSELF this acceptance.

Only YOU can fulfill this need.

I know bc I have struggled with people pleasing for YEARSSSSSSSS so I too have to remember that Happiness comes from within & yes, you and I are both worthy of it.

Now say ONE Positive thing about yourself and if you want, feel free to share below.

I'll post mine :

My positive thing.... I am not a quitter. I tend to fail at a lot of things but I also KEEP TRYING to get better and I'm grateful that I have learned this skill.

Horseshoe Day

He did say we would be working our horse shoes today. I gotta be honest with ya, when I started this program I felt like it was a little slow...but hear me out. He was laying such a strong foundation for each move to be executed properly and actually taking the time to teach about proper body mechanics & he really stressed about WHY you might struggle with certain moves and what to do to build on your weaknesses...and even as a trainer/instructor for nearly 10+ years I too learned SO MUCH.

That was stage 1. Now that I'm into stage 2(starts at week 5) I can see & FEEL how he is building on from those foundational moves.

Guys this program is incredible and while I'm not even at the halfway point I can guarantee I'm going to CONTINUE to learn and grow(in knowledge & triceps)

With that said, why don't you join me? I've got a new group starting prep week September 20th. We ALL need to focus more on strength mobility and longevity so why not learn from an NBA Trainer who knows his stuff and makes you WANT to keep showing up for your workouts and nutrition?

I've got the supplements, easy meal plans, support and NO REPEAT workouts, all you gotta do is ask

Boss Up

Shouldn't you get paid to inspire others to get healthy with you?!?!?

Do you want to know the difference between, Peleton, Noom, Tone IT Up and countless other ONLINE companies.....and what I OFFER through Beachbody?!

While Beachbody offers everything and MORE that these companies ALSO offer , Beachbody gives BACK to us Coaches. Sure they could KEEP IT ALL, but YEARS ago this business model came up and DIDN'T GO AWAY and is NEVER GOING AWAY.

So ask yourself, are YOU are inspiring others to get healthy? Because shouldn't YOU get paid for it?!?! I'd say yea. But I know what you are thinking...

I saw this as a scam first too, but then I realized something, it's not a scam when it's REAL. People actually get stuff in the mail y'all

So then WHY are you holding back?? Maybe bc you aren't good enough, or brave enough or think you have to be spammy salesly and gross.....

Dude, if your heart is the right place and you TRULY want to help people get healthy then that won't be a problem. Just the fact that you think that means you aren't willing to change your values values that's a GOOD thing, so hear me out...

We as Coaches get LOTS of free content to use in our free groups and we don't sell anything to be able to HELP others. We share what's working for us, give ppl a sample workout or recipe or mindset meditation to see if it improves thier life, & if it does and they WANT to take the next step, then we help get them set up with EVERYTHING they need. We are supportive and meet our clients where they are at, no one size fits all, we listen and see what TYPE of nutrition & fitness program is right for them.

That's Coaching.

So if you care for others & want to see if this career could work for you too then I inviite you to check out my Coach Info session. Every Thursday I go live in this group and share more about how to make this business work. & I've got a new Coach bootcamp starting in ONE WEEK. I'll teach ta everything I know.

Side effects could include getting amazing results from these programs too.. getting paid...earning Beach retreats...making online besties for life... and learning how to BOSS UP IN A BUSINESS YOU LOVE

Non-Scale Victory

Let's talk about non scale victories. Do YOU celebrate them enough!? Usually after I finish a program I go and buy myself a new workout outfit. And notice how I didn't mention when I lost weight, or inches or gave up processed sugar....etc. NOPE. Because here's the thing... if I focused SOLELY on those things I wouldn't have a healthy body image.

To me a healthy body image comes from the CONSISTENT WORK(and rest) that I do. Bc I'm showing my self love through healthy actions.

And that means that I'm deciding and COMMITTING to a program. Whether it's 21 days or 12 weeks. To me, that goal of starting AND FINISHING deserves a reward. Ya feel?!?!!?

Btw, if you want to celebrate YOU the same way, then I wanted to let ya know that my fav workout clothes company(that I'm repping here) are having a buy 4 get one free dealio, and if ya want to save 20% on top of that just use Code SARAH right here

REACT Mode

In a lifetime you will have slept 33 years, tried to sleep (hello laying bed on socials and/or hitting that snooze) another 7 years. Crazy right?!!?

So with the time you have left how you we spending it and are your choices in your life Value Driven?

As in, with the choices you make, are they in alignment with what you truly want out if life?

Most times we are in REACT mode and we do what we do....bc that's what we do! Obviously right!?

But how often are you making decisions based on your values?

Because I think too often I've been in the REACT MODE for far too long and I didn't question what I did...I just did it.

& we wonder why are so many of us feeling lost or unfulfilled or unhappy in life, relationships and work?

Well I think it comes down to...

NOT THINKING ABOUT OUR VALIES ENOUGH.

So let's do something about it.

So before the next decision you make, maybe think about how your decision will affect you...not in the HERE AND NOW, but how it will affect you tomorrow, next month, next year & over your lifetime.

And maybe include something like...

Because I VALUE my relationship I will CREATE time to sit down and talk to my spouse about having a date night EVERY WEEK.

Because I VALUE my family, I am spending my free time doing fun things with them and creating memories every month.

Because I VALUE my health, I am drinking 100 oz water daily, listening to personal development, eating 80% clean & pushing play on my program or go to the gym at this specific time everyday.

Because I VALUE my contribution to the world, I am working towards helping as many people as I can in a job that aligns with my beliefs.

Because I VALUE my life I am living in alignment with my decisions and more importantly MY ACTIONS.

If you all like these takeaways you are always welcome to join my audio book club on Sundays. I always post the link in my free group. Would love to have you join, bc I love growing with people who also want to work on our mindsets and who knows, maybe we can take back those years of snooze too

Make It Easy

MAKE. IT. EASY.

What helped me...

#1 stop buying that TERRIBLE cereal.
You know, the binge worthy kind. Here's a little love smack ya might need to hear...

If you wouldn't feed it to your dog, you SHOULDN'T feed it to your family!!....oh snap, Yea I went there, bc I needed to hear it too.

#2 make ONE MEAL super convenient.
Hellllooooo superfoods. Yes, I'm telling ya to drink this, why?! Well there's too many reasons to list, but I can tell you I've been drinking it for 7.5 years and to me it's worth it, and if ya need an ingredient list, just ask

#3 Make your environment suitable for the lifestyle you want.
Workout outfit at the ready, yup.

A push play program with no commute time, yup.

My blender AND superfoods out on the counter so I SEE IT. Yup.

A pantry full of foods that I won't go cray on. YUP...

And let me dive into that lst one bc it's REALLY IMPORTANT...

GET RID OF THOSE DORITOS.

I had to also. And when I really want some, I drive to the gas station for a SINGLE SERVE bag. Bc I CANNOT have a large bag in the house.

I know my weaknesses and I also know that's what I MUST DO in order to be successful at this. Bc yea, I have a history if bingeing and starving, so why climb a mountain and decide to break my legs before I even begin?!? Bc that’s what food addiction & emotional does to you.

But there's hope, ohkayy?! Now go throw away that crap and message me if you need a plan that is HOLISTIC & NOT A DIET OR A QUICK FIX & STILL ALLOWS YOU TREATS....This is a lifestyle baby, and I'm here for it

The Reason Why

The reason WHY I became an Online Coach was money, but I STAYED committed not bc of income but because how I felt on this journey.

When I became a Coach in 2014 we were on the struggle bus.

Eddie and I both are college dropout outs so you could say us "creative", "Looking for fun in our jobs" type ppl just weren't too driven when it came to working for others. I mean don't get me wrong we are hard workers, but neither of us saw us in the careers we were in LONG TERM.

So when Coaching and working online came up I joined an Online Company that I "kind of" aligned with. After 2 months and enough protein powder to last me a year and $800 spent...and a financial fight with the hubs, I quit and the following month I spent $140 to join another Online Coaching company...& YES, this one I DID align with.

I wanted to learn how to eat holistically...like REAL FOOD. I already had a binge/starving eating disorder and didn't need to be told to ONLY drink things...it only made my cravings worse...trust me. You don't want to see me hangry...ask Eddie

I ALSO wanted to be able to offer workouts that didn't rely on me SOLEY teaching ...bc dude my body was ALREADY over trained, why add ANOTHER class to my already broken over-trained body!?!?!

Lastly I didn't want others to feel the same burden of spending $400 a month to get results. I can't afford that, how can I expect others to!?!?

So $140 it is and I can offer all that!? Cool...maybe this IS what I was looking for?!!?

And yes, it was, here I am 7.5 years later.

Yea, what I do rocks and yea the money is amazing, but even MORE amazing is the group of people that trusted themselves on this journey WITH ME. Learning that TRUE health is not a size, it's a mentality.

The fellow Coaches whose lives are forever changed because we GET the opportunity to do this TOGETHER is something I don't take for granted. Talk about a TRIBE who has your back

Also being able to work from home with Eddie is a dream come true.

And YES, the rewards and incentives and traveling (like this years trip to Maya Riviera)...like dude, how is this real life?!

Are YOU looking for something that aligns with YOUR GOALS & VALUES TOO.

Let's chat, I've got an info group about what Coaching is all about. Wanna see if this could work for you too??

*Disclaimer....YES, this is a real job. Income is not gaurenteed it's earned. Each Coaches income depends on his or her OWN efforts, diligence & Skill.

The reason I keep showing up is bc I am in control of my OWN effort, diligence and skill...and that feels good. "ANY QUESTIOOONNNNSSSS!?!?"(too soon for David S. Pumpkins?!)
