NO EXCUSES! NO WAITING!

Love the empowerment message and call to action this commercial sends out.

I agree 100% with the message of this commercial. No waiting! Take chances. Get outside your comfort zone. Go on to do YOU so that you feel proud and happy about the chances you have made. NO EXCUSES! Do YOU first so you that you are freaking awesome to those who deserve your company and awesomeness.

Hint…remember that good health, physical and mental strength, quality of life provided by health is our ticket to bring us the greatest happiness and achievements in life!

Go after what’s important to YOU. Not sure what’s THAT important–the kind that you would DO for FREE and forever? Put time aside to discover yourself and your thing! It does not have to be that big or that lucrative or important to millions or be so unique. It is YOUR thing and if you are passionate about it, the sky is the limit.

DO NOT LET ANYONE SAY OTHERWISE! Many people will question your actions because they are not ready to do something different. They are comfortable and with little desire to grow and discover their untapped potential. That’s OK they are not ready but YOU ARE. BELIEVE in YOURSELF and CHOOSE be around those who believe in you as well

One of the reasons I believe this is important is because I believe you want to wake up fired up every day– instead of dragging your body out of bed and do the same thing over and over. Opening your eyes and getting up daily to do something with more purpose and intention will make you happier and healthier!

Your Environment….

Build a growth environment. Be with people YOU care and CARE about YOU. DO and seek a lifestyle so that you feel well, have energy and confidence, look good and confident to follow your wishes.

Let me ask you this…Do any of these limiting beliefs are part of your vocabulary?

  • ‘I don’t feel well’ or
  • ‘I can’t do it’ or
  • I am too old‘ or
  • ‘I am too tired’ or
  • I don’t have time‘ or
  • ‘I don’t have money’ or
  • I’m not smart enough‘ or
  • ‘I am not enough’ or
  • I don’t have willpower‘ or
  • ‘I am alone’ or
  • I don’t have support‘ or …

Whatever other limiting beliefs are running your mind, DO NOT ALLOW any of internal and external naysayers to BE IN THE DRIVER’s SEAT!

YOU DRIVE. NO WAITING. NO EXCUSES!

Need support, accountability, help to take steps and make progress?

I am your coach and trainer. I am your partner in crime. Together, we can turn your health and lifestyle 180° around, just like I did to mine.

Much love to you!

Teaching Children Healthy Living

Career_Day_Health_Fitness_Coach

Wow, what a morning! I am still smiling after volunteering at Career Day at Dunwoody Spring Elementary in Sandy Springs. Although I prepared a PPT since I could be talking to 4th-5th grades, i had no use for it. I got lucky; I got the little ones of ages 5 and 6. Their energy is contagious. I had 4 back-to-back sessions of 25 minutes each. I met around 80 kids. Yes, I took a 20 min nap when I got home to recover . Bless the hearts and minds of dedicated and caring teachers.

This was my first time presenting to elementary kids. I wasn’t sure how was going to go. My mindset was of having fun and making it fun. And focus on doing my best to show them that vegetables and fruits, water, sleep, exercise, fun, and relaxing/breathing give them more energy to play, smarts, strength, and help them feel great.

Career_Day_Be-Fab-Be-YouWOW, it is hard to describe how it felt and still feel now because those kids were special. We exercised together–they LOVED doing high knees, they answered all kinds of questions about foods, sleep, stress (why/when/how get nervous), and more. They learned how to take deep breathes to reduce anxiety, they learned that exercise, fun, and energy go together and it is for life. Why we need muscles. I brought them strawberries, carrots, and walnuts to eat/try. They loved it and asked for repeats. We talked about importance of eat the rainbow, the go-slow-no foods.

Career_Day_Children-HealthBy asking them simple questions, I learned many of those adorable kids have digestive problems (aren’t pooping daily and have stomach aches, every day, more than half wake up tired, about 40-50% are not moving as much, many have stomach aches after eating. About 5 out of 80 I met, were very educated on sugar and what it does. Many of them left with homework of asking mom to buy vegetables and fruits of different colors, go to bed earlier so they wake up more rested, drink more water, eat the fruit instead of juice.

Educating-Kids-Healthy-LivingThe best part was at the end though– felt so rewarded and made me believe I planted seeds today. So, I decided to stop by at the cafeteria before heading back home. ‘My kids’ were there, They waved, called, gave me high 5s, hugged me, and showed me the colors they were eating, the vegetables and fruits they had picked up. A few of them handed their packaged foods and asked me if they were healthy. WOW! Moments like these help me to hang on and keep going.

My mission is to plant seeds of health and change the life/health/lifestyle of one person at a time. Helping kids is like helping a tree to grow stronger and healthier. Cannot be more impactful than that. If I do change the life of one of them, I’ll have done a good job. And although I might never know whether that happens, I just need to keep following my passion and doing my best.

Maria-Horstmann-Appreciation-Career-DayMy heart is filled with love and hope. I am hanging to it–this gives me positive energy.

Lastly, I’d like to thank my friend Maria Angelova for bringing this opportunity to my attention–short notice still worked!
Thanks to the teachers and their assistances of each classroom at DSE. And thanks Denise Haltrecht–Assistant Principal @ DSE for allowing me participate and educate kids on healthy living.
