Here are three mantras that help me to move forward from day
to day:
#1 - “Calm down, Slow down, I’m in control of my destiny.”
Stop beating yourself up because you don’t have all the
answers. As a business owner, I face adversity daily. At
times, it seems that the troubles are like huge sharks
circling around my little lifeboat! By talking to myself,
and saying “I am calm, confident and in control of my
destiny” it helps me to take a step back to see the problem
in its true state. I allow me to calm down and know: it can
be handled one step at a time!
#2 - “I accept myself, just the way I am.” I learned long
ago to never, ever allow myself to feel that I’m not good
enough. When we self doubt, every out of control situation
is magnified! By accepting myself, I allow myself to slip
up, learn from it and start over – judgment free!! I’m not
perfect!!
#3 – “I’m getting better every day.” Some people let one
slip up ruin their entire day. I choose to believe that
every day is new and any slip up or mishap is meant to teach
me something I didn’t know yesterday. We’re all human. We
don’t have to know everything in one moment – life is full
of twists, turns and changes so keep your ears open, keep
your mind clear and your spirit ready for change.
Once you’ve learned to accept the person standing in the
mirror, you can begin to create a healthier, happier,
stress-free version of yourself. We all want to look alive,
healthier and happier!
I’ve had the privilege of teaching more and more women to
say “NO” to dieting and “YES” to exercise, “YES” to building
a stronger body and mind and becoming better versions of
themselves without starvation diets and other methods I feel
should be avoided!
As you approach a new
year, no more stressing out about being a certain pant size,
body image, weight figure. Eating and exercise should not be
looked at as punishment!
No more depriving yourself
of nourishment and trying to eat less and less! I encourage
you to go after the look you want, but here’s the important
thing: Develop a simple, practical motivating lifestyle to
achieve your goals, and be able to maintain them! I want you
to love your body, to eat better and workout because you
love your body, and because you want to become a better
version of yourself!
Looking good is awesome,
but having a strong, confident mind and loving who you are
is priceless. The mind is truly where your transformation
begins. Say No to any and all skinny thoughts, don’t choose
less, choose to be confident! Choose to be proud of your
body and its potential. Choose to focus on healthy and fit
and not the scale! Choose to be AWESOME!
