I don’t do it for the praise; I do it out of love. The ones that scream of hate the loudest are the ones that need it most. Kind words like these remind me that I matter and make each day just a little bit easier. We’re all hurting right now... in one way or another. If we each take a moment... a breath... and offer one another grace and space, we might find some peace amidst the storm. We’re all doing our best to survive and there’s no shame in that.

Deep thoughts on this #wisdomwednesday (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_8RHgHBS4/?igshid=s8igmrytqzdx

#wisdomwednesday

Little Ju-Ju, you are SO loved!!! • I’m am beyond grateful to be able to work with the @younglivingfoundation to Sponsor 4yo Judith ❤️ • It has been my goal to sponsor a child and today was finally the day! I can’t begin to describe the emotion behind doing this and how filled my heart is right now. • For y’all that don’t know, the Young Living Foundation gives 100% of all donations to children and women in developing areas to cover their basic needs including housing, food and water, and an education... as well as help foster their independence by giving them small business loans to create their own income! • Not only do they do all of that, they also set up volunteer trips so that you can meet the kids you sponsor and help build homes and schools! How cool is that!?! • I can’t wait to meet you, Judith! I have the biggest hug waiting for you 😊 (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0JoJCHnj_g/?igshid=gmh1f4alpf99

The man, the myth, the legend! • Rex is the longest tenured employee with Young Living and I had the pleasure and honor of sharing the Winter Harvest Experience with him. • Rex is full of knowledge and stories. He worked closely with Gary Young and you can tell by his presence that Gary took him under his wing and instilled the same things that made Gary great, in him. Rex is such a compassionate man, in such an authentic way. I’m at truly grateful for his friendship. • If y’all get a chance, you MUST stop by the distillation booth and say hi to Rex! And you can watch the promo video and see my beautiful face 😉 (at Salt Palace Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GkbQUnzBR/?igshid=13nsvpk8iq20z

When you go to sleep knowing your reality is better than your dreams, you’ve made it! (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9Rr3znjk5/?igshid=n9fj91eujuxg

How I feel about Fri-yays, cupcakes, coffee, avocados, and graffiti 🙌🏼 • Coming to the realization that I have anxiety super powerful for me. Before I could put my finger on it, I felt like my life was happening to me, rather than me being in charge of my life. This, in a sense, proliferated my victim mentality from my childhood. • Fast forward to now and I can honestly tell you that I still give myself anxiety every now and again (see how I phrased that?), but I can recognize it now in whatever form it shows itself in and where it comes from... which 99% of the time is a story I’ve told myself, not the actual truth of the matter (thank you @brenebrown ) • I said all that to say this... make sure this weekend to make time for yourself. I always preach self care, but really, if you don’t care about you, who else will? Even if it’s 5 minutes of silence in a comfy chair with your eyes closed... or a quick 15 minute workout... or just a leisurely walk or a chapter of a book... fill your bucket. Because the bucket of this world needs filled, y’all ❤️ • You are worthy of nothing less than everything 🙏🏼 (at Skull & Cakebones) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0L4SZHRNm/?igshid=1b4rwp9ghrfu9

When she asks you if you want another latté 🤤😬😌 • Here as of late, I’ve found myself getting 7 hours of sleep a night during the week. For those who are parents, that may describe a recurring wet dream; for me though, it’s something that I would’ve beaten myself up about in the past. • With riding a motorcycle all day in central Texas and training hard everyday, I make a priority to get as close to 8 hours of sleep as possible. • Life happens though and all our schedules are different. So we have to strike a balance between idealism and realism. Health and quality of life. • So for me, I’ll allow myself to have a (meaning one) cup of coffee a day as a pick me up and so I can be social with the guys at work. • This habit though, if left unchecked, ca lean to poorer sleep habits. Having caffeine too late in the evening can lead to insomnia and we tend to use caffeine as a band aid for poor sleep habits (not getting to bed on time). • So instead, let’s make nap time a thing again! Studies show that taking up to a 30 minute nap can help us be more productive in the mid-afternoon slump we all feel! Though, they also say that anything more than that can leave us feeling worse than when we started! (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzxyzUEnATM/?igshid=1hjuzhlts0zwm

Happy Wellness Wednesday, y’all! 😂 • If you do the same thing over and over expecting different results, YOU’RE INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE!!! • What is something that you’re not happy with in your life right now? What do you want? What could you be doing differently? • Try setting a goal (this means setting a timeframe too). Then reverse engineer your goal to where you’re at now... Example: I want to lose 60lbs in 12 months. So that would mean I would have to average 5lbs every month. So based on whatever my weight is right now, I could set my target weight for each month!

I’m on a boat! • A big thanks to this Sgt. O’donnell for showing me how the APD Marine Unit does things! • “A ship in harbor is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for” - John A. Shedd (at Lake Austin) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzsro6MnpQb/?igshid=z76lmaxm3xl1

What motivates you? • I used to think that everyone was in one of two categories... motivated or unmotivated. And I thought there was nothing you could do about it. • There are two basic types of motivation; extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic motivation means that what drives you is external rewards; ie money, fame, grades, etc. Intrinsic motivation means that you’re driven by internal satisfaction and not any obvious external factors; ie it brings you joy. • Motivation is a learned trait and no matter what page you are in life’s book, you can learn it too. • Studies show that those working towards goals with intrinsic value are WAY more likely to achieve and maintain their goals than those with goals of extrinsic value! • So what goals are you going to set? And what’s going to help keep you motivated? Feel free to share in the comments or in a DM! • Let’s do this!!! (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzq06PQHnaM/?igshid=xk2vdxap2djw
