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!

It’s Monday, we are back from Leadership and I am bursting with creativity and FIRE to help my coaches and challengers become BETTER, along with GROWING myself =)

What is Beachbody Leadership Retreat?

1. It is a Retreat for Top coaches of the company, 2 Star and Above (meaning you have become a leader and helped 2 or more coaches on your team reach Diamond status)
2. We are in trainings for 1 1/2 days; learning from the newest products coming out to how to lead our team to success!
3. We get to hear from the CEO, special guest speakers, and the top of the top coaches in the business!
4. We get to celebrate our success with parties and gifts
5. We get to meet coaches that inspire and motivate us everyday on Facebook or through youtube videos!!

Beachbody is more than just the money…. It is about helping others lead a healthy and fulfilling life!!!! Take your MESS and turn it into your MESSAGE… Katy Ursta is an amazing individual that I met through one of my coaches Melanie Mitro and Katy has touched my life ever since!!!! Her story hits home to me because my husband was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma when he was 12 years old! So when we found out Katy had been diagnosed we sat and cried a little but knew she would come out on top! Not just because she is a fighter—- but because she had so much love surrounding her!!! This is just ONE of the many stories we heard this weekend and it makes me ask, “WHY WOULDN’T YOU WANT TO BE HERE?”

This was the beautiful view we got to see everyday… This is the relaxation we got to feel before each training and reception…If you want to work your business— this is the #1 event you want to make sure you get to each year!!!!
