The REAL Before and After

THANK YOU/GRACIAS

When we lost our father in Law on Christmas Eve, It felt impossible to say "Merry Christmas"...or Happy Holidays or Happy New Year. All I could do and think of was providing that moral support on this process. And even though it is how the year ended and started, the truth is that life itself must continue.

With that being said, thank you all for each message of sympathy and encouragement. I tend to deal with these types of things privately...but with the amount of people that were inquiring about working with me this year and me not being available I HAD TO share what was going on.

It is very important to me to be FULLY involved in the success of anyone who works and collabs with me. I would not get involved if I am not in 100%. If we ever worked or collaborated together, your success, desires and aspirations are also mine.

I am now resuming on what is in store for us all.

I hope everyone had a wonderful beginning of the year...and that you are able to attain all the things that you desire and long for!

Once again, THANK YOU!

IMPORTANT: DO NOT try to be a therapist for a person who is mentally unstable. There is a powerful reason why pepple go to school to perform this type of work and family support should never be mistaken with responsibility for someone elses mental wellbeing.

Welcome, June...thank you May.

And thank you God, for family, health, friends and those I teach and those I learn so much from.

As I welcome the new month, I also celebrate the achievements of the previous month. It was a month totally dedicated to my own mental health, restoration and even miracles (more on that later).

It is strictly because of actions and decisions made last month that I was able to start June in such a fulfillng way.

Today... I met with a group educators that shared intimate answers to my research questions. After learning of some of what they go through each day, ( I already knew), it is now part of my mission to keep them in mind...and include them as part of my intention.

For those of you who do not know about what I do, I share methods, stories and strategies that have allowed me to manage, improve and even defeat mental and physical fatigue. I look at wellness from a sociology and a leadership standpoint and I provide simple yet powerful solutions.

Creating awareness in the workplace or in an academic setting is often overlooked an seen as unimportant. For this reason, I had decided to share my methods.

MY METHODS:

These methods were developed with a combination of time, experience, urgency and even life-threatening danger. With my strategy, I have helped people with important roles in our city and in their jobs. I have helped identify gaps both in leadership and in teams, and I have developed new protocols, simple systems, new relationships and unlimited opportunities for them.

The month of May was all about shaking hands and learning from others...IN PERSON. After seeing for myself what is going on around me, I have made a mission to create more awareness and make myself and my experience and story available.

The world is in urgent need of what I know, RIGHT NOW. Please stay tuned as I continue to develop ways to deliver and contribute. If you need help right now, please ask. It doesn't have to be with me. Book the honest, eficient and proven solution that applies to you, your team and your situation. Whatever you do, DO NOT believe that there is no hope or no solution. The methods exist are simple, but SO powerful.

Up until now, the methods that I teach have only been shared in private in- person workshops in the City of Houston and very few 1-on-1 quality clients.

MY EXPERIENCE:

My fitness journey started at age 13...when I was obsessed with being skinny and was being severelly bullied in school for being curvy.

During my military service I had to meet standards that were the total opposite of what I am. I still exceeded all their standards and expectations, but there was a COST...which led me to my healing journey.

My WELLNESS and HEALING journey started when I fell ill, injured and when I was diagnosed with depression, mst, ptsd and chronic pain. It was no longer about size, weight or inches. It was about staying alive, and being happy. ( In fact it was in IRAQ that my most important strayegy was developed).

After my military and contracting career, I experienced the workforce for the first time by becoming a Personal Trainer for a commercial gym chain. It was here where I got to learn the fitness industry and things that are not told to the public. With ease I became their top producer in Houston...and even though I topped the sales lists each month, there was too much emphasis on money, and slightly manipulating people in paying for things they did not need. (I tried to explain WHY clients bought from me...but they did not listen).

After walking away from that experience and accepting a sales position in a financial institution, i realized 2 things:

1. That the sales process, properly executed, is the same for most products and services. Said process becomes predictable when based on how you FEEL.

2. That fitness and wellness has a deep and strong effect in leadership, in relationships and in sales. PEOPLE STILL DOES NOT KNOW THAT. Especially leaders.

3. That most companies neglect the importance of wellness strategies for their employees and themselves. They also fail to consider and KNOW the lives of their employees, their aspirations and their desires. A simple emphasis on wellness and simply CARING can turn a person, a team and an entire company around.

This was evident to me WAY before rhe pandemic.

Now...it is crucial, more than ever, that this aspect is no longer ignored, or mistaken with what is marketed as a cosmetic obsession, which is perceived as an unnecessary luxury.

For anyone wanting to start something in their lives...be it a wellness protocol, business, an adventure or a relationship...you may ask: what isthe FIRST THING I recommend you do, in order to succed?

My answer: prioritize preventing, managing ot defeating your fatigue. Doing so will change your current situation, the situations of your team, and even that of your loved ones...no matter how challenging it may be.

I hope you all have a wonderful month!

MAY is Mental Health awareness month, which is one of my favorite causes and reasons.

Mental Health has been the measuring stick that I use as guidance. Everything I do, everything I teach and everything I evaluate is done with Mental Health in mind. For this reason, this is my favorite month to GIVE, RECEIVE and provide ACCESS to things that have helped me with my own mental health.

Enjoy your Sunday.

TRUST.

Someone wrote yesterday, " trust no one"

I tend to disagree.

It doesn't matter what it is that one is trying to achieve.

If there is no TRUST,

It will NOT happen.

Even after being harmed.

Even after experiencing losses.

Even after being betrayed.

Even if there is no moral support or guidance.

Even if you were abandoned.

Despite it all...TRUST must be present, at all times.

Trust in someone, or something.

Trust in SELF.

Trust in God.

Trust in the process.

Had to stop for a moment to say THANK YOU.
Tuve que detenerme para decir GRACIAS.

Today, I have completely removed any limiting beliefs.

We all have situations, challenges, and right now it is becoming harder and harder to stay positive.

Today I am chosing to stay FOCUSED. To only see what I want...and nurture it.

I am excited about my future.

I am so thankful for today.

I don't know what the frame in my hands will contain a few months or a few years from now.

Will it be a degree?

Will it be a milestone?

Will it be one of those awards people love to pose with? Some accolade that makes people treat me differently?

I don't know.

What I do know , is that I BELIEVE.

I BELIEVE IN MYSELF.

I BELIEVE IN GOD.

I BELIEVE IN MY FAMILY.

I BELIEVE IN MY MENTOR.

I believe...and so I celebrate.

After celebrating, I will work...

and I will use what's available to me...here and now.

And I will help others in rhe process.

BETWEEN YOU AND GOD:

Your aspirations, your dreams and hopes MATTER...

Please keep this in mind whenever someone dissapoints you...or whenever you feel overwhelned, disoriented or alone in your journey.

You are not alone.

As long as YOU understand the importance and the urgency of your life mission, you will find within you and above you, the moral support that you desire. You will find the fuel that will help ypu keep moving forward.

You are so close to what you want!

Please do not stop.
