The Power of the mind...

Have you ever wondered why some days you just feel down and unable to accomplish anything while on others you feel like you are on top of the world screaming "IGOTTHIS"? WELL , that's your mind.

Here it goes. We all get sick and we all need to sometimes just slow down, but when we think about negative things it holds us back from the real feeling of living. Yes , stress is real, we will loose jobs , friends, money, and maybe opportunities. But if we can take those failures and the what we think is negative and just flip it. Amazing things happen. WE LIVE. The positive thoughts tame over and go harder, we push further and we reach higher.

Being in the fitness industry and working around so many different people I see it all the time. Workouts and staying in shape is just like everything else in life. When you come in with a positive outlook you tend to always have a better workout and when negative thoughts enter your performance suffers.

And sometimes you just gotta go without thinking, remember sometimes not thinking at all is better than thinking to much.

I'lol finish with the famous Nike slogan and trademark phrase. "Just do it"

With love and until next time,

A GIFT TO FIGHT THE FIGHT ...

IN MY LAST POST I HIGHLIGHTED ON SOME POINTS ABOUT HOW WE CAN TAKE THE WORD " FIGHT " AND PRETTY MUCH APPLY IT TO EVERYTHING!

SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO TAKE LIFE BY THE HANDS AND WALK WITH, OTHER TIMES WE HAVE TO RUN, AND IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAVE TO JUST PLAIN FIGHT! WE ALL HAVE A OUR INNER DEMONS AND WE ALL HAVE STRUGGLES THAT SOME PEOPLE DO NOT SEE, BUT WHAT WE BEGIN TO LEARN IS HOW WE CAN USE THOSE STRUGGLES TO ULTIMATELYHELP AND HEAL OTHERS AROUND US.

WITH MY NEW JOB AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO RUN A BOOT CAMP, I HAVE REALIZED THAT A GIFT IS SOMETHING MEANT TO BE SHARED. IF YOU HAVE A GIFT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT. WE TAKE STRIDES EVERYDAY TO GET BETTER AT WHAT WE DO. NOW ITS TIMES TO PRACTICES THE TALK!

I'LL FINISH WITH A CUTE STORY. THE OTHER NIGHT WHILE TEACHING MY CLASS, I HAD A KID START DOING JUMPING JACKS AND THEN SUDDENLY STOP. WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY HE STOPPED, HE REPLIED, "ITS JUST TO HARD." I ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION. 'HOW DO WE MAKE IT EASIER?' HIS REPONSE, "I DUNNO, I GUESS I JUST HAVE TO DO IT MORE OFTEN." SMART KID. AND GUESS WHO PUSHED THROUGH 60 MORE JUMPING JACKS?!

GOD SPEED!
