Water what waters you 🌻

Don't take people's behavior personally. If you take everything personally, you will be offended for the rest of your life. Even when it seems personal, rarely do people do things because of you, they do things because of them. You may not be able to control all the things people say and do to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Make that decision for yourself today. Do what it takes to remain calm and address the situation from the inside out. 🧘🏼‍♀️

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 100 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 -- 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙮!

Can you believe it?  There's less than 100 days left of 2021. For those that are waiting until 2022 to start making healthier choices, stop procrastinating! Don't waste the rest of the year.

Not ready to go "all in" - Join the club. You don't have to go "all in" - start small. Take a walk. Drink more water. Practice gratitude. You've got 95 days to work on creating better habits so that when we come into the new year, we've already trained our minds & bodies to act, and react, in a way that serves us better.

I'm inviting YOU to join my free "Last 100 Days" accountability group. There will be a daily check-in around gratitude, hydration, nutrition, movement, and personal development. Could you use some improvement in any of those areas? I know I definitely can.

If you're telling yourself that you won't be perfect all 100 days, you are correct. Of course you won't. It's not about being perfect. It's about being aware and making small changes that will eventually lead to big results. 

Like or comment on this post and I can add you to the group. Feel free to tag a friend who may want to join too!!

I know for me, October is the last month before the crazy overwhelm of the holidays and the new year starts to stress me out. When I’m stressed, the first thing that goes is self-care which means I tend to end the year feeling, well, like a lesser version of myself. 

If this is sounds super familiar, I invite you to join my private online community where I’m devoting all of October to BOOsting our confidence! We’ll be getting fearless AND fit! We’re going to take off the mask and tap into who we really are and show up living our best lives! We’ll be learning how to treat our bodies and minds right 👏

Are you ready to get stronger physically, emotionally, and mentally? Is it time for you to kick some fears to the curb? Do you know there’s this ONE thing you’ve been wanting to achieve before the year ends and now is the time? 

Let’s become the best version of ourselves NOW instead of waiting until the new year. Let’s do it in a fun and supportive community where you’ll feel seen and heard and appreciated while you put in some hard work and get big results! Reach out, send me a message, or simply like this post if you want to be part of it!

Excuse makers seem to put more time into crafting the perfect justification for their actions (or inactions) than into working and succeeding. But let's be real -- ᴡᴇ 𝐀𝐋𝐋 ᴅᴏ ɪᴛ. But it's time for YOU to stop. 🛑 In short term, an excuse seems like an easy fix. It's anything but. Psychologists call excuse making "rationalization," a defense mechanism we use to justify bad behavior and poor decisions. While the excuses seem perfectly rational to the excuse maker, everyone else is rolling their eyes. 🙄 Excuse making is just a form of lying (mostly to yourself). When you make an excuse, you're holding yourself back! STOP doing that!

It's time to start taking the energy you invested into the wrong people and give that energy back to yourself 💖

You only need to focus on one little step forward.

You don’t need to conquer the entire mountain right now.

You don’t need to have everything figured out today.

The only possible way to climb a mountain is by climbing it one step at a time.

Don’t think about the peak don’t worry about what may come later.

Instead, focus just on the one little step in front of you.

The rest will come when its time.

For now, its just one little step.

The dream is free. The hustle is sold separately 💖

Summer 2020 vs Summer 2021 😯

I don't care who I lose anymore. I choose me. I got s**t to do ✌

Sometimes you have to let people down to be happy. You and your mental health are more important than your job, more money, other people's opinions, that event you said you would attend, your partner, your friends, your family's wishes...

If taking care of yourself means letting someone down, then let someone down. Your self-love must always be stronger than your desire to be loved by others. 💖

8 lessons people learn too late in life 💖

You will never control your future if you let your present be controlled by your past

Your most powerful tool in the universe is YOU.

And it took me 30 years to come to that realization. Fear, self-doubt, anxiety, stress, worry, exhaustion, those can RUN your world. And I've been there. But now I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and making it to the other side. And I'm making it there because of ME.

And I'm not any different than you. Not braver, not stronger, not brighter, not less afraid. But just like you I had ✌ choices. Stay the same or CHANGE and become who I want to be. LIVE the way I want to live. EXPERIENCE life in the mind & body I want to experience it in.

But not only that, I also found a whole new life & way of living & a business that breathes life into my soul. And it continues to change my life for the better... every single day. A lifestyle that gave me myself back, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I promise you, this life and the way you live it is yours to grab ahold of... you don't get more time in this life, but you DO get to choose how you spend the time you are given. Choosing to grab ahold of your dreams and goals despite the fear, THAT is your superpower. The question is, are you ready to use it?

When something isn't going the way you think it should, it's almost impossible to see the blessing in the lesson but it's there. It might take years to show up, but it's there. There's just one catch. YOU CAN'T QUIT.

No matter how many times you get knocked down or take a step back, you get back up and you keep fighting for the life you want. It’s yours if you're willing to do the work and never give up.

Where it started vs. How it's going

If there was one thing you could invest in that would change your life, would you?

Your health is an investment, not an expense. The best gift I ever gave myself was investing in my health. It's not only helped me lose 37 lbs (so far) but it's also helped me succeeded further in all aspects of my life.

So are you ready to invest in yourself? You're worth it! DM when you're ready 💌

A little coming at ya! 😉

Accountability is key to sticking with your goals. Get ready to GET UP and have FUN together! Join me and you’ll always be able to count on encouragement and motivation.

"Thank you for being my confidence boost & my reality check. My reassurance & my tough love. Thank you for never letting me dwell on my failures and for challenging me to grow from them."

I can't express in words how deeply I appreciate these new (and reconnected) friendships & how much they mean to me. These girls came in strong, ready to support, with zero judgement about anything and accepted me no matter what. 🥰 In the short time I've gotten to know these amazing ladies, we've formed such care-free & loving friendships that I wouldn't trade for anything. I'm so proud to be able to call them my friends & to stand by their sides no matter what. I love you all 💖

Big thanks to for bringing us together

Did a thing yesterday 😍

This picture was taking during a short break. I'll post a picture of the finished tattoo once it's all healed up 😁

If you're in NJ and looking for an artist I HIGHLY recommend going to at in Montclair. She's the only person I trust to tattoo me. She's done all of my tattoos for the past 8? years 🤯 & she's stuck with me forever! 😂 She's super clean, fast, friendly, & does AMAZING work! Go check her out ❤

The right circle changes everything! Don't underestimate how drastic you can change as an individual simply based off of who you surround yourself with 💕

Surround yourself with people the push you to be and do better. No drama. No negativity. Just higher goals and higher motivation. Good times and positive energy. No jealousy. No hate. Just simply bringing out the best in each other.

I had to cut out A LOT of negativity from my life that I continuesly allowed myself to be surround by & that meant letting go of a lot of people. It was not an easy thing to do. It was lonely. It left with me with no one to talk to for awhile. It left me feeling like something was wrong with me for not having a lot of friends anymore. But it also pushed me to focus on ME. Focus on being healthier & learning what truly makes me happy. Focus on finding peace with being by myself and how to push myself to do better in life. && now I feel the stress of my old circle melting away. I'm finally learning how to surround myself with the right people who truly have my best intentions at heart and know that nothing is wrong with me. I was just trying to fit into a life that wasn't meant for me.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It's more important than the past, than education, money, circumstances, failures, successes, than what other people say or do. It is more important than how things appear to be, how gifted you are, or how skilled you are. It will make or break a company, a home, any kind of relationship.

The remarkable thing is we have the choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We can't change our past. We can't change how other people act. We can't change the inevitable. The only thing we can control is how we respond -- and that is attitude. I'm convinced life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

I work hard so my dog can live a better life. ❤️👏

If I close my eyes I can still smell the food I inhaled on this trip. I can feel the sun beaming down on me while sipping on a pina colada 🍹 next to the pool. I’m over this cold weather. Time to fly back for lunch & a swim... ☀️🏊🏻‍♀️
