A Good Facebook Shutdown
Well, with a social media shut down I was able to focus on MY mindset a little more today....and honestly it was NEEDED.
After my workout today I was organizing planners and planning out the next 3 months & goal setting.
I found some old journals of plans and goals I had set for myself a few years ago & while it didn't take me one year to achieve them I had a moment of gratitude for the Sarah from just a few years ago, bc she DID help me achieve those goals over time.
She didn't quit.
She kept showing up.
She kept writing all these plans out like when she was writing in her Lisa Frank stationary when she was 12.
When heartache happened at 16 & parents divorced she didn't believe real love existed. That led to unhealthy relationships, a starving and bingeing diet, panic attacks, nail biting and depression...she kept one thing up tho... dreaming, writing and goal setting.
I remember I would always write it with... "My perfect day" and I would go into detail about the life I really wanted to live.
And I'm brought back to this moment right now. Eddie sings in the kitchen while making dinner (if you read this babe, keep doing it)
We aren't concerned about money anymore.
My nails are painted and I've been nail bite free for 7+ years.
I don't have rashes on my arms from stress.
I love my job as an Online Coach.
I love our quirky furry little family.
We work from home together because of a business I took a chance on.
And time can slow down because later this month we are celebrating 14 years married.
I'm here for it and I'm so so thankful.
I realize all of this happened because I wanted to write a story that was happier. I wanted my goals & dreams to align with my real life.
It's moments of reflecting that helps us see what we do or don't want in our lives and it's bravery to take the action needed to get us to where we want to go.
If you need to talk about change or taking chances on your goals too just know I'm here for you too. And yes, I'm rooting for you. Be brave and run Boldly in the direction you want your life to go. bc yes, You are worthy of happiness and health too

Thrifty
Feeling confident in my goodwill finds where's my thrift store besties at?! I can always remember if what I'm wearing was from a thrift store. Come to think of it, even my wedding dress was from one!!!! I like to think of thrifting as treasure hunting, bc yes you gotta dig for the goods. What's something you own that you LOVE from a thrift store find???
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia
My friend Candace 'Rose' Post is the superfoods QWEEEEEN. For lunch she made us chia Bowls using our freaking delish superfoods blend as the base....so freaking good!!!!!!! Do you get creative with your lunches too!?!?!

Passing it On
Hear me out fellow fitness lovers because this is something I learned the HARD way....
First off, ask yourself...Wouldn't it be great if ALL the people that came from our fitness Classes (who went on to become instructors & personal trainers) that we could get a referral bonus from the company they went on to sign up for...but WE ultimately mentored them!?!?l (and we also continue getting bonuses!?)
Well duh, yea that would be nice....and let me tell ya that THIS ACTUALLY EXISTS. That's another reason I LOVE my job with Online Coaching. All the people I've helped to help them create a side to ft income I get basically "referral bonuses" for....but it's not just ME that gets this benefit. I think that's where the name " PYRAMID SCHEME" comes from, but guess what?!?!?
As I build our TEAM SWEAT this Volume adds up to THEIR accounts too which is pretty freaking awesome!!!! I didn't know this before I started out in what I thought was also a PYRAMID SCHEME too until I started to see this volume for myself from MY upline.
Just thought you should know in case ya ever thought this type of job sucks....because it doesn't. AT ALL.
It's a compensation plan that I FULLY APPRECIATE. And because of THIS JOB Eddie and I are financially free and have also helped others pay off debt, fire their bosses, and travel too. So yea. This job FREAKING ROCKS!!!!
And if you are curious about this I am hosting a FREE TRIAL of my "BE A COACH" for a week to show you EXACTLY how Online Coaching works! You in?!
DISCLAIMER Online Coaching does not guarantee any level of success or income. Each Coach’s income depends on his or her own efforts, diligence, and skill. Which means it's work...not a scheme.

The Goal Isn't the Goal
The goal isn't the goal. The goal is to become more like the type of person who goes for those goals.
Over time you WILL become who you never thought you could become but it takes 2 things....
Saying YES to what you know you need to say YES TO.
KEEP TRYING. Yes that means when self doubt comes up you do NOT throw in the towel.
I say this because we attract who we are and if we WANT to achieve things we must ATTRACT it into our lives by ACTING like we TRULY want this.
I'm not saying don't ever take a break. I'm saying SAY YES to a great life, bc in the end this isn't about ourselves, its about the example we are setting for others. That's a fulfilling life when you can lead by example and show others that a healthy and happy life is possible. In the times of difficult you may need to be reminded of that.
Let's Spin Again!
Throwback to 2008 when I used to teach SPIN!!!! yes, I'm sharing this TODAY bc .... DID YOU HEAR!??!?! WE ARE GETTING A SMART BIKE!!! MYX bikes by Beachbody are launching TODAY!!!!
I am so stoked for this- did you know my first ever SPIN class I ever took.... I actually taught?!
Yup, showed up to class to take it to the local YMCA and the instructor didn't make it to class so the participants that knew me for teaching Zumba and Bootcamp classes said, Sarah, you can teach it!!!! I was like,.... "!whaaaaaa?!??!"!
Then they proceeded to show me HOW to get seated. lol. It was definitely an interesting experience and after that I was asked to teach more classes. Who knew that I would be coming back to the Spin bike after mpre than a decade!!!

See Less
All the Yes
Because I wanted to always say YES...
Yes to travel.
Yes to time off without asking for it.
Yes to more time with people I love.
Yes to my dream Jeep.
Yes to buying a house.
Yes to being able to help others with the TOTAL SOLUTION & feeling CONFIDENT in what I offer.
Yes to start saving up for a beach house.
There are so many reasons I wanted to join this career but my doubts and self limiting beliefs kept me stuck for almost 2 years and that made me push my goals 2 more years into the future.
If I can share my story to help you sooner, then here it is.... Best time to do this was yesterday, but we only have the present... so let's stop procrastinating on this and do this. TOGETHER.
I'm looking for 10 people wanting to CRUSH it as an Online Health Coach in OCT. NOV. & DECEMBER....and one of my team mates who helps just 3 ppl per month will not only get paid for helping others people they help but you will ALSO get your name in a drawing to join me on a #FREETRIP for our Coach RETREAT to Punta Cana to celebrate YOU on our ALL INCLUSIVE COACH SUCCESS CLUB TRIP (in April ) you down? Let's chat, I will teach you EVERYTHING I know.
Side effects include becoming your healthiest, while growing your mindset, connecting with a community that has your back and getting paid to help others...not bad, amirite!?!
Btw, there's no guarantee of success because this is a REAL job, you gotta show up and be consistent! This job is based on YOUR work ethic which is honestly a very freeing feeling, you are responsible for YOUR success, which is one thing I'm super proud of with this biz, and always will be proud of... So if ya wanna chat about it let me know!

Sit, up,
Shoulders back and down, neck relaxed.
Remember to belly breathe - hold hand on belly- feel it fill-
Breathe in .." I breathe in LOVE for myself"...I breathe out and let go"
count to 4 inhale
count to 4 hold
count to 4 exhale
count to 4 hold
I just felt like you needed this right now.
