Self respect. How many of us can say that we have legitimate respect for ourselves? What is it that gets in our way daily from truly believing in us as strong, worthy humans?

For me, I have always struggled with people pleasing. Making sure everyone else’s needs were met and never truly even knowing I had any of my own.

I learned through A LOT of therapy and a lot of reading that I do in fact have needs! Who knew!

Self care, putting our masks on first, is a vital part of not only our health and fitness journey but being internally fulfilled as well. So today, what I ask of you is this: What will you do this week for yourself? Will you journal? Take a bubble bath? Take 10 min to just be silent in the morning when all the world still sleeps? Whatever it may be, I ask that you do it.

And once you determine what that will be tell me in the comments below and let’s make it happen. I promise you, it will change your life.

I look forward to hearing all of your responses and helping you make them a reality.

#1: Support: You have to have support, whether it is at home-friends-or online support, like myself. You can reach only so much by yourself- you can also sacrifice and give up easier when its just you! So before you move onto tip #2, you have to commit to getting a support partner! If you need me- I am a message away! 

#2. Be mentally prepared: You have to mentally be ready to commit to your fitness. You have to know that you will be tempted, you will have setbacks, but you will have the mental strength to put one foot in front of the other! We all go through ups and downs in our fitness journey- but you have to have the willingness to keep going, every day, no matter what you are faced with. 

#3. Plan: You have to plan and be prepared to start, When will you start? What is your start date? What is your fitness regimen? What is your nutrition and meal plan like? What will you do every day to stay accountable? How will you plan for that birthday party or office lunch in? You can fail to plan or plan to fail. You have the decision to make- what will it be? Will you have your commitment, plan, and support ready to start on X date? 

#4. Start: When you have your known supporters, you’re mentally prepared, you have your plan in stone. You have to just start- You cannot procrastinate. The longer you say tomorrow the longer your results will happen. The longer you wait the more time you are setting yourself up for failure. You must start and stay on track- Progress not Perfection.

#5. Decide. Commit. Succeed.: Now it is time for you to decide, commit, and succeed. Your success is a direct reflection of how ready you are for change! If you are ready to conquer the world, then you need to have your plan in place! You need to commit- write your goals down and strive to do better each day. You will succeed, but you have to have the confidence that your goals are worth it to you! YOU ARE WORTHY! Make this fitness journey like no other journey out there!

Next we will touch on GOALS, those are scary! Stay tuned!

As I head off to Vegas for the 3rd time, I have a surreal feeling inside of me! I remember when I signed up as a coach in April 2011 (At the time I was a teacher ) Beachbody Summit that year started the day we let out for summer, so I was unable to attend! I was bummed, I had no idea what this huge event was, but I saw pictures from my upline coach, Kati and everyone else that was there! They had a blast but most of all brought back some amazing content to share with us all! The second the tickets went on sale I bought one! Mind you I had to put my shakeology and coach fee on my credit card, so did this ticket! I didn’t care how much the ticket was going to cost I WAS going to be there the next summer!

As the week went on and I watch the pictures upload to Facebook, the more excited I got! The more of a drive I had to make sure I got to Vegas the following summer, 2012. At this time it was a struggle to think about it and my husband was still very “iffy” with the support of the business and he was not as engaged as I was, so I made sure he was coming too! We got him a ticket and I told him he had to come to the general sessions to see what Beachbody was about, but if he wanted to he could sit the trainings out! WELL needless to say he joined me at all of the trainings and came back from Vegas as fired up about the business as I was!

Fast forward to today and I am headed to my 3rd Summit, I am thinking— how did I feel when I headed off to my first summit??? I was nervous, I was excited, I was scared! I was nervous to meet new people, be in a crowd, not know what I was to expect, and not sure if I would have to speak to anyone (biggest fear- talking to a crowd)! I was excited to see TOP coaches, workout with the celebrity trainers, and be in the positive energy of all of the amazing people I looked up to! I was scared that I would be embarrassed of my husbands “nay saying” I was unsure that he would act the way “i wanted him to”! But that was nothing that I should have been worrying about!!!!

Beachbody Summit in 2012 was an AMAZING opportunity that I am SOOO thankful I had! Summit was more that a training and celebration! The energy that came from summit was fire lighting and it was the energy I needed to keep pushing! The days were jam packed with trainings and meetings, General Sessions where we heard from the CEO Carl Daikeler, Chalene Johnson, and Tony Horton, there were celebrations of our success- parties that you would earn throughout the year for hitting Success Club, Rank Advancing, and just being a COACH! Each one of these events was amazing- uplifting- and the focus was more than just for the TOP coaches- I felt special at each party, meeting new coaches and learning what brought others into this business!

The change in my business after my first Summit trip was what was the best! I formed “my team” we grew so fast that we became Team Resurrection, my husband was 100% on board and he was coaching! He grew just as much as I did! I felt like a better leader, I was growing and was able to teach others what it took to be at Summit and to be a top coach!

Why should you get to summit 2015?

• You will meet new people
• You will over come fears
• You will network with people you would have never met before
• You will grow as a leader and as a person
• You will learn what it takes to make your dreams come true
• You will be a better and stronger Coach
• You will bring the fire and momentum to your team

Are you looking for a change? Are you looking for a way to live your life and be happy? Are you looking to create your future or work for someone else? Create YOUR destiny, your future, and your life!
