Owning Your "Why?"

When your life changes direction, sometimes you find yourself re-evaluating and having to re-work some of the ideas and projects you'd been working on before the plot twist and either throw them on the ground and stomp them into oblivion OR re-define them. This is exactly what I've been doing with my wellness business. New partnerships, new programs, more fun stuff!

Splitting time in Florida, sharing my life with the man that I never thought could exist for me, and becoming a mom--among many other changes--has led me through some epic soul searching. Questioning why I set out down this path in the health and fitness industry in the first place, and looking at how my path has evolved as my life has changed. In the very start of my fitness career, I coached to heal myself. I initially used each session in the gym and connected with my clients to get me through a very stressful period of life in an unhealthy marriage, and continued that pattern using competitions, research, diets and total immersion as a distraction. After my last bodybuilding competition almost two years ago, I hit rock bottom, finally being forced to face who I was as a single female again (which I'd never really been before). Essentially, I gave up the past to the universe and have since actualized myself as a fully-formed woman who is more happy now than she has ever been in her life. Every day is new for me and my fitness career is now in a place of giving, sharing, and enjoyment of a happy and healthy lifestyle. I've grown much wiser and discovered my "why?" again. My purpose comes from the joy I feel when I can help others with their own self discovery and get in tune with how their bodies and minds are connected now that my own cup is totally and joyously full!

So, what's my new impetus? As a multi-passioned fitness professional, mother, nutrition maven, coach and yogi. I'm bent on sharing the missing piece. It isn't a new meal plan or training program. I've learned a most important lesson coming through the challenges of finding myself. It's all about feeling. Finding balance and health with a loving heart towards YOU. Before you begin, feeling every inch of your body and energizing yourself from the inside out. Not looking externally for motivation, but instead fostering it from within and feeding it with gratitude for what your body can do for you! Pressing forward with a willing spirit to try, full knowing you may fail, but with excitement because you may learn something new about yourself.

Our paths are constantly evolving. Everything we do today changes the way our futures unfold. We must recognize and own the things in our lives that drive us; the sources of our power. Our "WHY?", which is the reason we make the choices that we do which can always help us ground ourselves and focus on our life missions.

Grab a piece of paper. Put in writing the reasons you want to be a better you. What are your goals? What does future you look like? Maybe it’s finally time for you to start fresh, re-claim your body, channel intrinsic motivation, relieve stress, or look and feel the best that you ever have. Maybe you’ve learned that quick fixes don’t work for you anymore and you are ready for achieving and maintaining weight loss. Maybe you want to learn how nutrition affects your body and you want to explore getting more creative in the kitchen. Maybe it’s something deeper. Maybe you’ve recently experienced a huge change in your life, divorce, loss, illness, or just gave birth and you’re just ready to be healthy and take control of your mind and your body. To become the master of your own universe.

TEASER ALERT! We've got a new program at FitOasis Lifestyle that will help you create your toolbox, starting with your "why?" that will help you consistently achieve your goals and keep moving forward. Your toolbox will be a life-long set of means you can use to maintain a balanced body, mind and spirit.

Ready to dig in to the nitty-gritty, good stuff? We're always ready to grab you by the hand and pull you along! Head on over to our contact page or email elle@fitoasislifestyle.com to check out our new ME-PROGRAM!

Always Yours in Health and Fitness,

"Believing"--Create the Life You Desire

Some people think that life is always happening to them, but I’ve always felt that life is happening FOR us! Maybe, your perspective is like mine, and you feel that you are in control of what happens to you and how life will play out. Or, maybe you’re on the fence about trusting something greater (you don’t have to define or give it a name!)

MOM BUTT! Who, What, When, Where and WHY?!

Mamas; EVERY woman who has given birth is right here with you. If you've had a baby, you have one postpartum body thing or the other. Every pregnancy and every birth can affect a body differently. The "not-pretty" things we have trouble accepting and spend soooo much money and all of our spare energy trying to remedy--pelvic floor issues, skin elasticity changes, cellulite, stretch marks, muscular imbalances, boobs that aren't as perky as they once were. Real talk. If your postpartum booty looks a little less bubbly, there's a reason. The good news is, you don't have to live with it forever and there are many ways to improve the way your body changed post baby.

Allow Yourself to Feel

Research suggests that greater "emodiversity" showed a decreased risk for depression. This research presents that it may be best to experience a wide range of emotions -- both positive and negative rather than welcoming and prioritizing positive feelings and neglecting negative ones.

Your "Before" Photo is the Same as Mine...

What I look like RIGHT NOW, or what you look like right now is just a reflection of our individual journeys in life up until the moment we snap that first pic when we’re ready to get committed to a program. We each have our own individual story.

How are you ever supposed to get those results you want?

The Future of Mental Health

Taking care of yourself is much more than going to the gym, going for a run, and eating paleo/keto/gluten free. Taking care of your mind and soul is just as if not more important.
