SURPRISE 🎊: I GAINED WEIGHT DURING MY PREGNANCY⁣ ⁣ Okay, well not really a surprise, but instead of trying to hide it or get rid of it ASAP I decided to love my body anyway.⁣ ⁣ This ain’t a pity post or start pitching me your fitness/nutrition program post, etc.⁣ ⁣ This is a post about me and declaring that I’m still worthy AF no matter how I look. 💋 ⁣ ⁣ I’m still an amazing woman, a leader, a coach, a lover, a mother, and so much more and all this good good isn’t restricted to the way I look on the outside. ⁣ ⁣ As women, we often feel like we NEED to change ourselves to be loved, accepted, “good enough”, and more.⁣ ⁣ I’m writing this post for the woman always telling herself that she’s ugly or she will never be good enough because of the way that she looks. ⁣ ⁣ This is for the little girls who are being programmed right now to think that they will only be loved if they look like a celebrity they saw on TV or in a magazine.⁣ ⁣ For all my ladies, you’re already worthy just as you are. ✨⁣ ⁣ Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.⁣ ⁣ Even when you’re still a work in progress, even when you make a mistake, even when you forget who you are, or you feel all alone, you are still worthy, still loved, and still deserve to be here.⁣ ⁣ It’s time for you to love yourself where you’re at.⁣ ⁣ It’s time to believe and see the worth in the woman staring back at you in the mirror.⁣ ⁣ You are a phenomenal woman. ⁣ ⁣ You are a beautiful woman. ⁣ ⁣ You are a POWERFUL woman. ⁣ ⁣ Remember that. ⁣ ⁣ Own it.⁣ ⁣ Be it.⁣ ⁣ Ladies, do ya feel me? 💎⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #loveyourself #mentalhealth #investinyourself #love #effyourbeautystandards #inspiration #model #anxietysupport #selfesteem #bodypositivity #motherhoodunplugged #fashion #selfcarecoach #bbw #beautiful #lovemybody #ootd #selfcare #selflove #fitness #postpartumbody #celebratemysize #health #beauty #photography #loveyourselffirst #motivation #style #selflovematters #bodypositivemovement

Are you another victim to the happiness trap?? •• Lately I haven’t been feeling as happy as I normally do. I’m not really sure why. Ive been fighting to hold it together for the last few now & today, it finally came crashing down. I left work early because I realized my mental health needed a little TLC. So I came home, cuddled my fur babies had a nap because this wave of fatigue cane over me (I guess fighting to keep it together gets exhausting), talked to myself $ reflected. I asked myself what’s going on & was trying to find something that could be causing this, that’s when it clicked. This feeling is 2 fold: The past 4 days I haven’t been taking care of myself the way I usually do. For me fitness is much more than physical, it’s for my mental health as well & when I miss workouts, my psyche is the first to notice. I’ve also been pouring so much into the systems I’m building for my virtual health club and coach trainings that I have lost touch with my sense of fulfillment. Because for me, my sense of fulfillment comes from helping others & that hasn’t been my sole focus with my biz these last days. And lastly I realized, it’s ok to feel this way. You see, we don’t go through sad feelings to GET to happiness, happiness is just another one of the many emotions we as human beings feel. It’s because it feels good that we want it all the time, like a drug. But life isn’t so linear & neither are our emotions. Life is made up of mountains & valleys & neither is better or worse than the other. So my point is, if you’re going through a time that doesn’t feel as good as you’d like it to, just remember, like happiness, this too shall pass. The key is to get real with yourself & check in to see if you’ve been neglecting the things that fuel your soul, then recognize how you’re feeling & don’t allow yourself to stay hostage to it. Just like we shouldn’t feel hostage to happiness, because that too is a heavy burden to carry when you really need to unravel. Please comment below with how you take care of your mental health and if you’ve fallen victim to the happiness trap... 🦋
