push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

A lesson I’m learning every single day. I need to stop giving energy and space in my brain thinking and concerning myself with things I can’t control. It’s a struggle some days and some days it’s a breeze - - #instafit #progress #gymlife #igfitness #fitnessaddict #fitspiration #getfit #noexcuses #healthylife #fitnessmotivation #tbt #dedication #fitfam #motivation #lift #fitlife #blackgirlfitness #fitnessjourney #whitneyysimmoms #fitgirl #whitneyxtula #strong #girlswholift #traindirty #workout #accountability #fitness #girlswithmuscles #blackgirlsworkout #blackgirlssweat

Definitely tonight’s mantra during class It was definitely hard remembering to not just bounce on trampoline and actually focus on the moves Needless to say, it was a great workout even if I was kicking while everyone else was uppercutting or uppercutting while everyone else was jumping around the trampoline! All that matters to me is I got my workout in and I didn’t quit! Just keep pushing girlfrannnn - #instafit #progress #gymlife #igfitness #fitnessaddict #fitspiration #getfit #noexcuses #healthylife #fitnessmotivation #gymrat #dedication #fitfam #motivation #lift #fitlife #blackgirlfitness #fitnessjourney #muscle #fitgirl #exercise #strong #girlswholift #traindirty #workout #accountability #fitness #girlswithmuscles #blackgirlsworkout #blackgirlssweat (at New York Sports Clubs)

You will have days when you don’t want to work out.

It’s just a fact! It’s unrealistic to think that you won’t. So what are you going to do when those days happen?

I have a 15 minute rule. On days that I don’t want to work out, I still get changed and go to the gym and I work out for 15 minutes. If I still don’t want to work out after those 15 minutes, I leave.

The hardest parts of going to the gym for me are 

1) actually getting there and then 

2) starting my workout. 

If I can get through those, I’m in the clear like 99% of the time. I think I’ve left the gym twice in the past 4 years after the first 15 minutes.

If you have trouble making yourself go, try the 15 minute rule!

What do you do to get yourself to work out on those days that you don’t want to?

There is no reason why I can’t achieve the goals I’ve set for myself. I need to be honest with myself and get the hell out of my own way! && that starts with getting off my ass and doing some type of physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day. Ready to concur my mind and do what’s best for my body! - #instafit #progress #gymlife #igfitness #fitnessaddict #fitspiration #getfit #noexcuses #healthylife #fitnessmotivation #gymrat #dedication #fitfam #motivation #lift #fitlife #blackgirlfitness #fitnessjourney #muscle #fitgirl #exercise #strong #girlswholift #traindirty #workout #accountability #fitness #girlswithmuscles #blackgirlsworkout #healthy

UNFORGETTABLE! UNBELIEVABLE! COMPLETELY SPEECHLESS! Words that describe what I’m feeling after an amazing day and experience at #TulaXWhitney Had the opportunity to attend #TulaXWhitney event today where they had some motivating stickers around the venue. I chatted with @Tula #FitAndFlawless girl Alyssa and asked if they had any extra stickers. She told me they didn’t have any but offered me a poster of @whitneyysimmons favorite phrase, ‘it’s a beautiful day to be alive’. Of course I said yes, I’m all about motivational quotes around my apartment. While waiting in line to meet Whitney, I was pulled to the front of the line unexpectedly. After about a minute with a beating heart, I got to meet Whitney where she handed me an autographed photo SWIPE-> I still can’t believe this amazing human remembered ME from LA and interacted with me as if we were the best of friends. @Whitneyysimmons is soooo relatable, personable, and a true inspiration. This was the experience I NEEDED to reignite my fire to keep kicking this journeys ass! I’m so thankful for @tula @whitneyysimmons for an amazing event and unforgettable day. Also a honorary shoutout to @quitefitt for showing me Whitney’s YouTube channel. • • #instafit #gymlife #igfitness #fitnessaddict #fitspiration #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmotivation #dedication #fitfam #motivation #lift #fitlife #blackgirlfitness #fitnessjourney #muscle #fitgirl #strong #girlswholift #traindirty #workout #fitness #girlswithmuscles #blackgirlsworkout #Whitneyysimmons #GetFitWithWhit #inspired
