2020 Vision

This month’s theme is all about self-love. In order to love yourself you need accept yourself for who you are right now. Tips 1.) Release all negative baggage that has happened to you in the pats so that you have the energy and can see the opportunities that are right around the corner. Tip 2.) Start right where you are. 3.) Accept that you are exactly where you are supposed to be even if it doesn’t feel like it.

In todays episode I am being completely vulnerable and transparent with you. In this episode I explained how important your life story is and how by sharing your story you can inspire others to get back up when things get tough. In this episode I shared with you my struggles and some of the hardest moments in my life. But I also shared with you how I change those circumstances to create the life that I am living now. Your circumstances do not define you, they do not represent The person you are right now. As humans we are so resilient and can overcome change and hardships. What is most important is how we get back up. By sharing my story I hope to inspire others to get back up and realize that there is so much more to life than your struggles and your challenges. I hope you guys enjoyed this episode and can take away a positive message from it. Thank you for listening.

If you can takeout three things from this episode, I want you to remember that you need to live your life for you and no one else. Listening to your ego telling you why you shouldn’t do something is only keeping you from growing and not succeeding at your goals. Lastly, never let the fear of failing keep you from starting something that could completely change your life for the better.

In this episode I explained how in order to move forward into this new decade we need to reflect on what we learned in 2019, and decide how we want to live in 2020. Here are my tips for todays episode. 1.) You do not have the time or energy to allow toxic relationship or friendships in 2020. If someone is not putting in as much effect into the relationship as you are, they are not worth your time, and that is okay. 2.) Working more hours to make more money will not buy you happiness in 2020. Setting boundaries for your work life and your personal life will help prevent you from burning out. 3.) Other people’s opinions of you do not matter in 2020. The thing on your heart even if it is risky, you need to do for you and on one else. You never know if it will end up being the best thing that ever happened to you. Do not let other people hold you back from doing what is right for you. Live your life for you, and no one else in 2020. That is not selfish girl, it’s called self love and you deserve it all. Those all the tips that I have for you today, thank you for listening and I hope 2020 is your best year yet!

1.) For my first tip, I need you to understand that your goal is not going to be met overnight. If are looking for a quick fix you are not going to be happy with this first tip because quick fixes are not sustainably, and they are not healthy. Forming healthy habits and being consistent takes time, and effort. So, my first tip is to change your mind set from wanting these changes to happen tomorrow, to understanding that this change in your life is going to be a journey and is going to include the ups and the down. And when tell you there are going to be downs; I am not joking with you. This is not going to be easy, but it is going to be so worth it when you no longer have to think about doing the things that are going to make you healthier and happier. 2.) Once you can understand that forming a habit is not a quick fix, and that there is going to be ups and downs. My next tip to figure out why you want this change. Now there is always going to that artificial why of losing weight, or wanting to feel good in your skin, but that kind of why is not going to get you to show up on days when you aren’t feeling it. My why to start my fitness journey was because I wanted to give my body the best life that it can offer and that means that I needed to start actually caring for my body every single day. So, on days that I don’t want to show up, I tell myself that my body deserves this, because it needs to me to care for it because It has no one else to do it. I also like to write it down, so it gives me that conformation. When I write it down, I have no other option than to show up for my body. So, my second tip is to come up with a meaningful why, that will leave you with no other option to show up every single day. 3.) My third tip is to understand that it is okay to have bad days. You are human, you are allowed to have cheat days, or days where you can’t get that workout in. And that is okay! I am just getting over being sick, and I physically couldn’t work out for 2 days. And instead of getting mad at myself for not staying on track with my workout program I gave myself grace because I know I am human, and these things happen. When you have a cheat day it is so important for you to know that you do not have to start over. Just because you have a setback, does not mean that all your progress that you made is just gone, you worked for those days, and that that’s something to be celebrated. Starting over just because you have one bad day is like starting over on a project that you worked super hard on just because you had a sick day. If that happens at work, you are not going to complete scratch what you already did, you are going to just pick up where you left off. So, tip number three is to understand that bad days are going to happen, and when they do, you don’t have to start from square one, you can pick up where you left off because you worked for where you are now. 4.) My last tip is to get someone else on board with you knew health routine. When you have someone to show up for other than yourself, you are more likely to actually do it. If you don’t have someone to physically do it with you, then just tell someone that this what you are going to do. Once you tell someone that you are going to do X Z and you are more likely to keep yourself accountable. So, for my last tip, find an accountability buddy, and tell them exactly when what you are doing to keep yourself accountable.

5 tips to become self-aware: 1.) Learn how to listen to your body, and make sure to fill your tank with the things that make you FEEL good. 2.) Change your mindset around food. Food is your fuel, and gives you energy. What you put into your body will either make you feel good, or it will make you feel like crap. Fuel your body with what makes you feel good.  3.) Drink more water. You should be drinking 1/2 a gallon a day.  4.) Exercise makes your body feel so good, so make sure to move your body everyday. 5.) Do all these consistently over time, in order to actually feel a change in your body. Also, keeping track of how you feel after doing these tips, will help you understand how your body works, and will help you form better habits.
