The problem with our "instant-gratification/NOW" culture is that we will try to gather up as much information as possible to go from "I want" to "I have arrived" without even going through the journey in between.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
-How to get more weight on the bar (guilty!)​​​​​​​​
-How to cut fat quickly​​​​​​​​
-How to make money fast​​​​​​​​
-How to be successful by 'X' age​​​​​​​​
-How to quickly move past traumatic events​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When we don't consistently take the time to process & act on this new information on our own individual timeline (that will look different from other people) it will crash us internally, & eventually, externally.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So, pump your breaks! Take it all in & process little by little & then act...stop sprinting. Warmups are prescribed for a reason​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
Work towards an awareness to consistently evaluate, process & shift your mental clarity, emotional health, physical health, relational health, spiritual health, & intellectual health. You'll feel lighter for it, giving yourself some understanding & you'll also be understanding of others in the process.​​​​​​​​

📖 Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
👉🏼 Fear is only going to push you into absolute failure. Failure internally and then it’ll become a physical failure when disease creeps in and your body can’t function.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Why not give yourself a fighting chance? It’s your health, your body, your mind, your masterpiece, your temple that’s beautifully and wonderfully made, fight for it, don't fear the failure you have created in your mind.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
You have so much to offer the world around you. Be persistent. When you can’t, take a day to take a step back, reassess, shift, if needed, and then get back to it. Give yourself a chance to do what sets your soul on fire, and gives you life. 🌱​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
You’re not a failure just because things aren’t going well now. Press in.​​​​​​​​

The irony is that my clients set me on fire for my own holistic health 💙​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
It's easy as a coach to pay attention to everyone else & forget yourself in the process. I have done it many times before and paid dearly for it. Thankfully in this little journey I have grown to be attentive to when I need something & many times that comes from my time with seeing my clients thrive. 🙌🏽​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
✨So, to my clients, past or present, THANK YOU! Your journey has been a beautiful piece of mine, and I'm forever grateful for you and will always be ready to champion you in all your goals, both internal and external!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
Client love : )​​​​​​​​

ASSUMPTIONS​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
👉🏼 Don't worry this is a reminder for me just as much anyone else.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
Assumptions are super powerful. They can send you into a dark place or keep you light on your feet. We have all been there. One word, phrase, small action & we automatically think it's a negative toward self or that it was directly meant towards self. ​​​​​​​​
Let's be honest, sometimes it is but ​​​​​​​​
🗣 YOU DON'T KNOW UNLESS YOU ASK. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
Communication is so so powerful if you do just that, communicate. No one knows what you're thinking/feeling or what you mean, & vice versa. So if it really bothers you, ask & give your loved one/co-worker/friend/partner/family the chance to free you of that automatic self degradation. If they love you & you have a meaningful relationship they wouldn't want you feeling that way & definitely don't want you to assume negatively of their words or actions.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
✨Relationships are beautifully uncomfortable because we are human. We break in community & we heal in community. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So, choose a community that's willing to be with you in your brokenness & you in theirs so you can help each other heal. Most of the time they don't mean it the way it was perceived. Always assume something well-intentioned from it, or just communicate what you heard or felt to clear the air. ​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​

"I feel uncomfortable in my body. Do you know what I mean?"​​​​​​​​
-Precious Client ​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
My answer: YES YES YES​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It is a completely natural part of life to feel uncomfortable at times about our bodies, in & out. We hold a lot of expectation for ourselves on how our bodies look but also how our bodies should feel. We can't always feel 100% about our bodies because life is uncomfortable at times.​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
➡️ So, question this uncomfortability, face it & understand it.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
-Why do I feel uncomfortable? Is it because of a changing environment? Is it hormones? Is it something internal? I.e. going through emotional triggers, etc. ​​​​​​​​
Is it external? I.e. unsolicited comments about my body, signs of stress, overwork.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
↪️ Find out the why, & then go back to what is true of your body​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
-Is what I am saying to myself true?​​​​​​​​
-What is true about my body?​​​​​​​​
-What can my body do? ​​​​​​​​
-How am I taking care of this little masterpiece?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
If I'm being honest, so many people have imprinted in my mind uncomfortable things about my body that are just not real. This started when I was young “don’t lift too much, your legs are already too big”…Then, when I started to travel to other cultures, I realized how comfortable some cultures are with emphasizing & commenting on another person’s (even a stranger) physical being. It was really hard to push past when I started experiencing it constantly. It seemed no-one cared about the amazing things I could do with my body or how much more I had to offer. Comments were positive & negative & EVER so constant.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
-"You have a perfect body" ​​​​​​​​
-"You were slimmer there" ​​​​​​​​
-"You have gotten fat" ​​​​​​​​
-“Why are you so white”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
. .​​​​​​​​
✨Bottom line, remember what is true. Celebrate all that you can do especially when you're uncomfortable! And then go kick ass🔥

You're in the gym and eating well, GOOD!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So then what are you working on for your ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-mental health⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-relational health⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-emotional health⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-spiritual health⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You wouldn't only water 1 flower in the whole garden to watch it grow. We want lots of flowers! So water every part of your being! You'll be happier for it and so will everyone who encounters you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is this you? Well, here's your permission to take a damn break!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first sign that you are heading towards burnout is getting to Monday (or Sunday for my Saudi clients) morning and feeling like the whole weekend you were in bed and STILL not feeling rested or ready for the week.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, check in!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Am I consistently numbing out? Food, alcohol, w**d, Netflix?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-How am I doing physically? Am I moving well, am I doing all my normal activities with full charge? Am I eating things I normally eat and within appropriate proportions?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-How am I doing emotionally? Have I had some emotional ups and downs lately? Am I on edge? What's causing it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-How am I doing relationally? Am I spending time with MY people, the people who make me come alive? Have I been getting in arguments with those around me more easily? Have I been shutting people out?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-How am I doing spiritually? Have I been spending time being mindful or praying/meditating? Am I feeling fulfillment in my spirituality like normal?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-How am I doing mentally? Am I getting stuck in my own head? Constantly trashing everything I do and everything someone says to me? Am I dwelling on things mentally to the point of numbing out to shut out the thoughts? What's been going on around me to cause this?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Regularly check in with yourself. You are not crazy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
YOU ARE HUMAN.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all have these experiences so don't feel like you're alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Prevent the burnout!

"You go to the gym everyday but it doesn't show."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I had a dollar for every time I had clients tell me friends/family AKA LOVED ONES said this to them. Not only is this not loving but it's also not motivating. It destroys the confidence to show up and work towards ONE aspect of health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know what it also does? It ruins apart of the health of the person its directed at, emotionally, relationally, and mentally.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Emotional health is health.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Relational health is health.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Mental health is health.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't let someone destroy your health when they don't know what true health is. Protect your health, both physically and internally.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND keep going! Keep showing up, keep checking in, keep working on your own health awareness with food, working out, your emotions, your relationships, your spirituality, and your mental clarity/health.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Awareness to your own health provides a sense of 𝙿𝙴𝙰𝙲𝙴 with our imperfections and allows us the space to see them and not be discouraged but learn and grow from them!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏩ A few ways to set boundaries with your response when someone speaks to you this way⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I really love how I feel being at they gym and pursuing my physical health⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Well I definitely see changes in who I am going to the gym both internally and externally.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I can feel the benefits of my holistic health by going the gym.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I don't go to the gym to get a certain body, but I would love for you to join me to understand why I go to the gym!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- The journey of health is really unique because it’s so much more than our bodies, and I am really benefitting!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*SO Keep steppin' y'all! Your body is not what defines you even if that's how someone treats you. You are more : )

How will you 𝙲𝚁𝙴𝙰𝚃𝙴 moments in 2022?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We just finished a holiday season and many places around the world have seasons of giving and being with family. That is beautiful!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But what if this year we planned towards creating moments with loved ones instead of stuff?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moments create memories that last a lifetime while that thing you gifted to someone, while beautifully intentioned, might be discarded by the next year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t get me wrong stuff is nice, but meaningful time and experience is so much better!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if simple. Playing games, taking a walk, having a good conversation, learning something new with family and friends, taking a trip, exploring your city/country, disconnecting from the web and being present, these can all be beautiful moments to create something that lasts forever.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I challenge you to 𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎 moments and memories this year over give things as gifts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What memories and moments will you offer to others this year?
