You're excessively posting to confirm you're legit.......well it's excessive! STOP!

New Year around the corner and I'm seeing my social media feed fill up with people that are going to help this person, or that person or notify to not use this person because they've been there and can help you get back in shape or finally help you to live your best life in 2020. "News Flash People!"

They are still there, meaning they have not conquered what it is you're trying to conquer and they're definitely needing some affirmations for not being where they hoped to be but can for sure help you get there. Uh, I'm over it! Stop pretending. If you keep boasting about everything you do, but for some reason something still isn't getting done or accomplished, then guess what? You're not doing everything! Chill out, take a break, but stop POSTING! We are tired of having to 'like' everything you think you're achieving.....and everything you think you're achieving was most likely supported by someone, or something, give them a shout out!

Fit tip/Health tip: Get off social media for awhile, seek affirmations and pats on the back somewhere else. You're excessive desire for 'likes' is exhausting and I'm assuming you're exhausted too.

We all have a lot going on and we all have 24 hours in a day, figure out how to make those hours your best,
most days!

It's a new Year, not a new You......still the same You, but possibly better centered or balanced.

Are We Expected To Do It All?

As a working Mom, for over a year now, I really have experienced it all: being a stay at home Mom, at Mom with severe guilt, a Mom that thought/thinks she can conquer it all, and lastly a Mom who feels like she is failing. I struggled to find balance working 40+ hours a week, spending time with my kids and making sure my home is perfect, while still trying to implement some type of social life. I will say some days I got it, some days I definitely don't got it, but I also struggled/struggle to let others know I am having a rough day/week and can't keep it together.  In my eyes, I am educated, blessed and working my butt off!

I will say, the balance gets easier, when you share with your SO or family OR FRIENDS that you need help or that you need a day for yourself as well. IT'S OK TO NEED ME TIME!  I struggled with this heavily for two years and felt incredibly guilty if I wanted to spend an hour or two alone. But now I understand now it is essential to find balance between your family, work, friends and YOU. It doesn't have to be all the time, but for me, I like to stretch/ or do yoga at night, sometimes yes, with wine ;). I feel it calms me down, especially when those that know me know I go 100 MPH everyday. I like the feeling of relaxing after a long day and getting my head screwed back on the right way. 
I finally realized I needed this when I would comment to my clients or friends that it was so important for them to take some time for themselves. Uh, hello you too! So that's what I am doing, I am doing it all, and is it expected? Yes, but only from me. I expect myself to do it all. 

As a certified health coach, I do think balance is huge part of our wellness journey, so if you have questions or need help finding it, let me help you! PM me
