Progress requires action.

The workout you almost skipped.
The walk you didn’t feel like taking.
The meal you planned instead of grabbing whatever was convenient.
The extra hour of sleep.

Because progress doesn’t care about what you intend to do, it cares about what you actually do.

It’s coming….. #11 by @jhendofit22

If you haven’t been under a rock, you’ve heard about the events at Cornell University. If it doesn’t make your blood boil and your stomach drop, that’s an issue to me.

I’m raising two boys. They have hearts like mine and I’m so grateful for that. They are sweet and kind and have been raised to be helpers and if for some reason they cannot help, they have been taught to find the helpers.

They are still young- teenage years right around the corner and I know that will bring about a lot of change.

They don’t have a sister. It is my responsibility as their mother to teach them how to treat women. How to care for them. What it means to protect them. They learn from their dad- how he leads, how he provides and what he does for his family. They will know better because we are doing everything we can to show them, to teach them.

I’m not naive or oblivious to the power that friend groups, social media and the internet holds when it comes to influencing our youth and it is an uphill battle for parents- but it’s one I’ll fight forever to ensure my boys are men of strong character and not easily influenced or manipulated by evil.

There are strong women raising good men. And there are real men raising and teaching young boys.

Have the conversations with your kids about what human decency looks like. What it means to protect. I talked to my boys about this (we didn’t go into details), but we talked about the responsibility of stepping in, of stopping evil when we see it- because it’s not an obligation or a suggestion- it’s the right thing to do- and we need more people doing the right thing.

Another opportunity to get some movement in.

If you’re looking for a place to get started- think about moving that body in a way that is simple and where you can do it consistently.

You can ditch the weights and do jump squats with just you and that fine ass bod! There’s always a way to modify.

Stop making excuses for why you can’t get it in!

Go for a walk and then get a little extra in: the above may take you 12-15 mins! ❤️

Stop believing that the bare minimum is something to get excited about.

You’re worth so much more.

Maybe it’s the reminder you didn’t know you needed.

As a mom, the most important thing for me to show my kids is that they are capable.

Of learning new things, of failing and trying again. Of doing hard things. Of sucking at something and then working really really hard to get better at it.

I want them to understand that to show up as my best for them, I need to take care of myself too.

And as I’m working to show them all of this- I am also giving myself permission to show up for myself- without guilt.

The opportunity you are seeking often comes with a weight you must learn how to carry.

Don’t be discouraged when things are difficult, be grateful that you get the chance to rise to the occasion.

Keep. Going.

There is something so freeing about feeling good in your skin.

I’m not talking about hitting a certain number on the scale or a clothing size. I’m not talking about comparing yourself to how other women look.

I’m talking about putting in the hard work and discipline to get to that point where you just feel good in your body.

When you can just throw something on and not tear yourself apart or change 10 times. When your first thought isn’t “how are other people going to perceive me” because of the way I’m dressed or how my body looks.

Because the truth is, when you feel good in your skin- there’s so much other work that went in to getting to that point. That kind of glow comes from the inside and radiates outward.

That kind of confidence only comes from putting in the reps. The physical reps at the gym, the reps in the kitchen with nutrition, the reps with self talk and belief. The reps of letting go of negative energy.

You deserve it. It requires work. A willingness to get uncomfortable. But the reward? The reward is knowing that you showed up for yourself, day in and day out and nobody can take that away from you.

A season of growth and release. And yes, I’m thankful for all of it.

I learned that I don’t need to fix the way my heart feels. Some days I wished that I didn’t feel so much, or care so much, or try so hard to fix what I didn’t break.

But the truth is, the way I walk through life, the actions I take and the way I show up defines who I am. And I have no interest in being more closed off, less vulnerable, “stronger” in the way of being nonchalant and acting like it doesn’t matter to me.

Because my life, the people I care about and the spaces I occupy DO matter to me- in a way that most people probably don’t take the time to consider.

So if caring and fighting for the things that matter to me makes me look “desperate”, respectfully, I don’t give a fuck.

I’ll keep showing up with my dope ass energy and my bleeding heart, but now I know when to let go. 😘 by @jhendofit22

I read something the other day that said “nothing is ever ours to keep,” and I thought it was beautiful, a little sad and so true.

I know everyone that reads that quote will have a different perspective- based on their past experiences, what’s currently going on in their lives and how they process information.

For me, it’s a reminder to keep showing up. To keep pouring into people and spaces that bring me joy. To work hard, to share the good stuff, to let go of what needs release.

Because each moment, memory created and lesson learned is a gift and we never know when any one person, place or experience will cease to exist for us. Because there are seasons to life and each one brings its own unique offering. And it’s natural for seasons to end.

So, I guess what I’m trying to say is be in it, be grateful, work through the hard, remember to feel, to offer grace where it’s due.

We have control of so little.
