What I Know for sure ......

What I know for sure is that I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR SURE.....

Take a minute and think of the one thing that you know with a shadow of doubt.
What is it ?
How did it become so concrete?

For me Passion is my driving force in life , I Love to live a life where spirit and passion collide to create waves of divinity.

2014 is nearing its end, and this has been such a rollercoaster , it amazes me how each year seems to speed up . Maybe I'm getting older.  (my knees sure feel that way.)
But all in All I have learned some meaningful lessons about life and self. Certain wisdoms come with age but the most important come from experiences and I have shared a few. My passion for life is overwhelming, I want to excel at everything (I know that sounds farfetched) But I Must Excel !!! And you should too.

What are your passions?
What is it that makes your heart jump out your chest with each thought ?
What are things that you must excel and succeed in?

I'm sure we all made promises to ourselves around this time last year , I am guilty of it 100 times over . And whether or not  those promises were kept is neither here nor there.
What matters is you are here and today you can keep those promises !
 seize the day !!! Carpe Diem !!! (did I say that right ) Don't Judge me lol

Now what I think I know for sure is this :

What I think I know for sure is that each time I go to sleep I am turning the page from whatever occurred during that day and when I wake, my page has been wiped clean and ready for me to doodle all over .

What I think I know for sure is that Life is not what I make it . Life is what it is supposed to be. Life is to be acted on ! Life is here , its up to me to live #>

What I think I know for sure is that living in fear is not living at all you are merely just existing ! Say it with me " I am a big brave DOG!!! ( corny I know but it is effective ) and thanks to my favorite  animated film this mantra is verbal gold . (Rugrats  in Paris ) remember no judging :)

What I think I know for sure is that We can succeed at anything ? And history has shown that to be true .

So as 2014 nears its end " I dare you to excel " Lets see what happens when passion and spirit collide in your life .

Because what I think I know for sure is that it will be Flawlessly Amazing !!!

"I Know for sure :Your Journey begins with a choice to get up, step out and live fully"
What I Know For Sure

Sometimes all you need is a good book, a chai tea latte and a mind full of thoughts

As Always be Fit, Fine and Flawless

Consistency Produces Results

Consistency : The ability to set a goal and do what is necessary to accomplish said goal

I am more than sure that I am not the only women in the world who is constantly setting goals , making To - Do list and rethinking my grand life plan over and over. AM I ?

 

As women we have managed to not only create man kind but we have also managed to run the world and quite fashionably I might add. So what is it that causes some of us to never reach our full potential ?

Does Oprah , Beyonce and other very successful women have the secret we are all looking for ?

Yes, these Queens are an inspiration.

Of course I would love to be a media mogul, who could strut a stage in 6 inch heels while flawlessly running the world one high hat at a time.

However for the 80% of women who are apart of the social norm ( Middle Class Women ) we are simply striving to complete our daily task list without forgetting lunch, an ear ring or a PTO meeting. And as much as we love Oprah and Bey I am more inspired by the average women who takes care of home and family.  The team mom who never skips a beat on this crazy journey we call womenhood.

 

Goal Setting  

 

I want to share with you my goals for September , then explain to you what I will be doing to stay consistent  and on course.

 

Consistency

Now goal setting is the easy part , the real work is putting your plan into action.

For example, I am aware that in order for me to be successful in fitness, I have to have someone to be accountable to. ( yes I am a trainer who pays for a trainer ) I find it more suitable for me to check in and stay on track with someone to answer to .

 

Sometimes accountability helps you remember exactly what you are doing all of this for. when I have to answer to my trainer , it reminds me of the big picture , my dream is to be a prominent Fitness advocate for women and mothers. and every time I skip a workout of sneak a sweet snack I am potentially pushing my dream further away.

 

Once you make something important enough , once it becomes like air then nothing should keep you from achieving your goal. Don't allow you become your own set back.

This Time make consistency one of your main goals.

If I can then You can !

Be Fit. Fine and Flawless

 

 

The Buck Stops Here

Total health has a lot to do with more than just your physical looks or medical clearance. It is a combination of physical , mental or emotional and spiritual health. I often focus on physical health, with blog post and my job being personal training, however I would like to bring something to the forefront .

Emotional Health

Women, we were created as survivors and nurtures. But as a whole we are forgetting to nurture ourselves, to love ourselves , to have self worth that is greater than all the images we are constantly being judged against.

People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their emotions and their behavior. They are able to handle life's challenges, build strong relationships, and recover from setbacks. But just as it requires effort to build or maintain physical health, so it is with mental and emotional health.

(HelpGuide.org)

 

 

People who are mentally and emotionally healthy have:

• A sense of contentment.
• A zest for living and the ability to laugh and have fun.
• The ability to deal with stress and bounce back from adversity.
• A sense of meaning and purpose, in both their activities and their relationships.
• The flexibility to learn new things and adapt to change.
• A balance between work and play, rest and activity, etc.
• The ability to build and maintain fulfilling relationships.
• Self-confidence and high self-esteem.

 

 

 

In the Black community women are told to be strong, we are expected to deal with issues , hurts and pain and not say a word. Outlets for frustration are seen as a weakness. Speaking about issues you are having can even be seen as taboo. Why is this a trend ? or should I say Generational Curse ? Were we preconditioned to deal with hardships internally? Or do we chose to put our health on the back burner to keep up with image?

 

No matter the source, It is time to drop the mask and bare your true feelings. If you are hurting talk about it, if you are in an unsafe situation get out and seek help.

Life is not meant to be handled alone. And it is up to the women of our community to stand together , To build each other up and to help each other Grow.

 

Love and Light
