Things May not be Going According to OUR Plan, but they Might just be Going According to THE Plan...4/13/2019  Things May not be Going According to OUR Plan, but they Might just be Going According to THE Plan...
Sometimes our own plan gets totally laughed at by the universe and a new (much better) plan is delivered I personally expected to be stepping on the stage early this year, maybe even traveling for some and going to national shows to compete for my pro card But none of that was really in the cards for me and I feel now, 6+ months later, that it’s exactly what I needed! TIME, SPACE, BREAKTHROUGHS, KNOWLEDGE! In this time off I’ve not only gained muscle, strength, and more peace with myself and food but also patience and new lessons I truly believe this patience and these lessons I’ve learned are the things I’ll need when it comes time to truly dig deeper and deeper! Have you ever been surprised that your plans didn’t really go to plan? Ever set a master strategy up only for something to throw a wrench in it? I’d love to hear how you came out of it or how the new plan ended up being far beyond what you could have ever imagined! Comment below with a story, let’s inspire and instill hope in each other😍🌟

 Many of the things others JUDGE you for, your tribe will LOVE you for😍🌟
It’s amazing what happens when you stay committed to yourself and your vision. The right tribe always comes only when you are true to yourself. Otherwise you attract the wrong people and never feel like you “fit in” or are “understood” Never let other people tell you how to live your life or be yourself because the don’t truly know you and you are a GIFT because you are unique. Find the people who see that in you! I’ve been so lucky and grateful to have so many supportive uplifting people in my life. 😊 Many of whom saw my best side even when I couldn’t. But I’ve also had many people judge me, tell me the approach I have isn’t ‘good’ or ‘going to work’, questioned if I’d truly achieve what I set out to, and warn me I should do anything but the things I thought to do. Many of those times, I knew they were wrong. I knew they were wrong because I already had enough validation within me. Without truly believing in, trusting, honoring, and loving ourselves, other voices will win. To remove power of others over our emotions and thoughts we must first find peace and strength within ourselves Never let the doubts, fears, and limiting beliefs of others become your own. And if they do, have the courage to realize it and address the matter head on. Not just because the outcome will be better. But also because you deserve to have your own belief system that serves you, empowers you, and takes you places you never even knew you could go... Letting your higher self run the show and other incredible people will appear. I’ve met / connected with amazing people like all of you, the pros on my podcast, other athletes, amazing biz lovers and go getters because I’ve been myself and nothing less! Main message for the day? Own YOUR magic 😍🌟  The ‘it’ factor doesn’t always come from a physique.
Many people even argue over who should have won or placed. But at the end of the day, one person ends up on top, only a few end up with medals/trophies, & only the best choose to keep fighting for their goals regardless of challenges How can you make sure you set yourself apart? Commit to the inner work the way you commit to never missing a meal or a cardio sesh. It will bring you into alignment with the physical actions and the physical result That’s why I’m on a mission to help bikini competitors to Build More Than Just a Body I never placed in shows until I addressed the relationship I had with food, my body, & my goals When I returned to competing in 2017 after 1.5 years off, a 30lb+ rebound in 3 weeks, and a ton of mental healing, my intentions were finally pure I loved myself more, so everything came from a beautiful loving space rather than a dark space of loathe for myself / body. The inner work is what let me go detach from the outcome... I wasn’t doing it for a look or a placing at first I was doing it because I really wanted to do it for me & just give myself a chance to show myself that I could compete without sacrificing having a normal relationship with myself & food If it wasn’t for the investments of time, energy, & money I made into expanding my mindset w/ various mentors, programs, & a psych degree then I don’t believe I would have won on my physique alone The physique is a 100% necessity. In order to develop a winning physique & presentation you need a mindset that aligns you to consistent positive actions to kill it regardless of how you feel🙅🏻♀️ I have developed tools, strategies, & practices that allow myself (& clients) to make peace with food & their body in the improvement season! I fully know & believe that the women who commit to working on themselves year round on EVERY level will outlast those who don’t Don’t put up w/ the Post-Show Blues anymore!

You’re not obligated to do ANYTHING!🙅🏻♀️ Yet many people say: I have to eat because it’s rude not to... I have to go out because if I cancel they won’t invite me again... I have to go to the gym because if I don’t then I’ll be judged by that girl who’s #teamnodaysoff I have to say, talk about, or show different things because that’s what everyone expects from me I can’t say no because then they won’t think I’m capable! And on and on It’s really serious actually... How much we live our lives according to others even if on a subconscious level But You have options. Do what’s best for you, do what’s best for them, &/or do what’s best for everyone. If you don’t want to eat the birthday cake, you don’t have to explain yourself. “I’m on prep” is a nice excuse when you’re on prep. But when it’s off season or you’re just living your life & don’t want the cake, you have to be able to set boundaries This is true for all those examples Boundaries are NOT effectively set with excuses or justification The best boundaries are set without pressure to explain yourself A healthy boundary allows everyone to feel honored & respected Instead of “I don’t want your damn bday cake” (rude) or “I can’t eat that, I’ll get fat” (offensive & false). We could go for something more reasonable like “wow looks great! No thank you though, I’m so happy to be here celebrating with you.!” Everyone is taken care of without any explanation needed! In this case, the only way feelings could be hurt is if someone is triggered by their own internal belief systems. In order to set a healthy boundary though, we have to have a healthy relationship with ourselves & our beliefs If we don’t fully honor ourselves as a person who tunes into our needs then we won’t be able to set a boundary that allows that to happen We must give ourselves permission to express our needs while still effectively expressing the love & gratitude we have for the other opportunities/people. Need help with this? Let's set up a mini boundary breakthrough session :) Send me an email with the subject line 'boundary' and we will set one up!  ⚒still building muscle⚒
My body has been through so much over the last 6-7 months let alone nearly 2 years. It’s amazing how much having passion or excitement for something can keep us pushing for more I have really fallen in love with competing and miss the stage and grind of prep a lot! But at the same time, I had other things to sort out that would ultimately allow me to come back even better I feel super amazing about myself, my body, and the way I’m living. I have goals in mind and I am doing what I need to do to get there Sometimes things are out of our control but consistent effort to the big Vision and the willingness to shift gears will ultimately be better than just surrendering to it as though it’s our reality forever Today I’m in an interesting place. I can’t seem to put words to what I want to express to you all There’s so much on my mind about how I feel, what I want to say, things I’m thinking about that I know could be beneficial for others And yet I can’t express it right now I’ve tried typing this caption out numerous times only to fall short of what I imagined Which tells me I have even more to learn from it all. I think this is a great opportunity to just say hey, hi, how are you I hope you’re all doing well!! Also hope you’ve have had an amazing end to the first quarter and beginning to the second one I have been running again which feels pretty refreshing. My workouts have been super rewarding. My mindset work is on point and makes me feel sooooo grounded and good My nutrition is consistent and nourishing My biz has so many exciting things happening :)) Just really trying to trust soooo much more right now that everything is happening as it’s meant to be What are you focused on for the next 3 months? What’s exciting you the most? How are you feeling about yourself and ability to make things happen? Are you ready to truly receive all of your goals as accomplishments? Would love to hear from you guys ❤️ |
