Hi, do you think it's embarrassing for guy to be knocked out by a girl? Yes, this happened to me: During our fitness sparring she caught me by accident with her hammer fist, and I had to say "good night", litarally. She sent me senseless to the mat for half a minute.

Not at all! I think it's dumb when people classify boys being stronger than girls...everyone's strength should be judged on an individual's basis not be gender. Not only that but there are many variables that can explain why someone beat another person in a spare... it can be luck, experience, technique, a mindset, etc.Don't be embarrassed at all! You keep doing you and working hard. Don't let others make you feel bad about yourself. Focus on you!

Wow I feel like I haven’t been as active on here as I usually am. Yes I’m still actively lifting and reaching for personal/business/booty growth. I was recently given the opportunity in the Maxim’s Finest competition. Signing up with slim expectations, I actually have surpassed 10,000 models so far and am still running in the Top 10. It’s an incredible experience and I just got invited to the Maxim Super Bowl 2018 party. I also have been busy with a ton of collaborations for my fashion blog thefashionbleach.com

Gratitude Project #3

1. Being Alive. 2. Being surrounded by such beautiful people. 3. Have a warm and safe home at the end of the night. 4. My mum. She truly is the core to my heart and indefinite heart. 5. My sister...for her encouragement and soul has fulfilled so many moments with laughter and kindness. 6. Having a full stomach all day and fresh foods to choose from. 7. The amount of sweat and victory I achieved at the gym today. 8. The fact that I can perform a solid lift and have the ability to move freely. 9. The sun's rays on my skin. 10. The peaceful rain hitting against my window. 11. The opportunity to grow. 12. Wearing a warm knit all day and allowing it to hug my entire soul all day. 13. Clean water. How soothing it was both in my hot tea and in an iced glass. 14. You. You motivate me to grow and push for the better. To accept help but to also give in return.

you are so positive and confident in your passions and believing in yourself. I have a lot of people that talk shit or that try to cut me out of something for no reason. how do you deal w/ people like this and not let it get the best of you...

Know your self-worth. Be unafraid to go head-on into your goals, your career, and into yourself... if you are not 100% committed, consider it done. Once you really recognize the person you are inside and the things that you have to offer to the world, you begin to see and have a low tolerance for bullshit or those that try to knock you down from being the best version of yourself. For me, I will always care about the dreams of others, how they are doing, and I will always be there and have their backs. But for those that mistake your kindness for weakness or are unappreciative of your efforts, let them go. Once you realize your self-worth and what you have to offer, everything changes into a more strong and positive experience. Unless someone wants to be a kindhearted and respectable human to you like you are to them, get rid of them and their negativity. Finding my self-worth gave me confidence because it gave me the confidence to differentiate who doesn't have respect for me or who are selfish. It gave me the confidence to not only believe in myself but to make the decision to stand up for myself. Having that holistic viewpoint is not only empowering but fulfilled with positivity, love, and happiness. Just as you appreciate others, connect yourself with others who appreciate you back.Be strong. Be happy. Believe in YOU. And do this every single day because there are people out there who will support, appreciate, and value you in the same way.

When I first started getting into fitness I thought that the "ideal" way to be healthy was to only eat salads and fruit, do insane cardio, only lift with 10lb dumbells (at the most), and do just about anything to lose weight. I had the mindset that carbs were awful and I should of avoid them at all costs. But since taking the time to research and work with my amazing coach, I realized how unacceptable and unrealistic those restrictions were and that they were doing more harm than good. Given that I have a hyper metabolism, it is hard for me to gain muscle. In fact, my coach has me eating for five + doing small HIIT intervals + lifting heavy while keeping the reps low. This not only has caused me to lean out magically, but also hold the right gains in the right areas. Not to mention I literally eat carbs like it's my job am not complaining...I love it! My point is, don't restrict yourself because of society's dysfunctional standards of what is healthy and acceptable. Curves just as beautiful and attractive as someone without them. In all honesty, just keep working your own magic and don't hold yourself back... bring your ENTIRE self to the table and kick ass. Be unapologetic, stay woke, and be your authentic self. You CAN succeed at anything + STRUT yourself. Insta: thedaniellemszat

Some late night thoughts I had tonight 💭

Love Yourself Enough.

Let go of those that bring you down. Let go of those that don't appreciate you. Let go of those that you constantly have to prove yourself to, no matter how much you love and care for them. Sometimes we choose to neglect our own health for those that we love and those that we've already invested so much time in. It may be because we think we deserve to poor treatment we receive or perhaps it's because we have been forced to believe that we are not good enough. Or maybe we are just afraid to be alone/out of our comfort zone...but this is not a good enough reason to deal with it. Don't deal with the pain of something you didn't do. Don't take the blame or allow yourself to be the stomping grounds of someone else's insecurities. When you are dealing with shit that is literally exhausting your being and out of your control, let that person go. You can find happiness elsewhere, and even within yourself when you just let go. And this isn't giving up, it's being strong enough to not let yourself down once again...to not allow this person to bring you down and make you beg that you are good enough. You are more than enough and if some selfish person is going to try and force you to believe otherwise, than they don't deserve you. I understand that it may feel impossible to see right now, but there is more life and happiness beyond the position that you're standing in right now. Beyond where you are now is a life where others will appreciate you and your kindness, and who will love you the way you deserve to be loved. Where you stand now is not love, it's a dark place where you give your all just to be rejected again and again. In times like this, understand your own worth. If you find yourself unhappy and unappreciated, let it go. Don't continuously work yourself to death to get the validation from someone who brings you down. Love is respect, happiness, and support. It is not mistrust, abuse, and rejection. It's about being equal and setting realistic boundaries and standards for the other person. Stop allowing others to degrade you and make you work like a mule for their love and acceptance. If you find yourself afraid to let go, that's okay. It's okay to be afraid, in fact, all of us are afraid of something out of our comfort zone. But be brave enough to realize that you deserve better and strong enough to realize that letting go is for the best. If you find yourself constantly giving but not being appreciated than walk away. Doing so makes you the bravest and strongest of all. Don't forget to take care of yourself.

Today I did glutes and hamstrings with my sister and saying my legs felt like jelly halfway through is an understatement. But it was all so worth it. Insta: @daniellemszat

Breathe.

In the midst of chasing your passions and working hard to provide for yourself and others, remember to set some time aside to actually live.

By that I mean breathe. I think society has this ability to put a lot of stress and pressure on our shoulders to the point where we are swamped with negative thoughts about ourselves. For example, we are constantly told that we have to continuously develop ourselves in order to stay alive and that if we chose to take a break we will sink rather than swim. Constantly society and our peers influence us with this fear of failure and that we have to play this role of a perfectionist superhuman, always ready to take on the world without any breaks. We are constantly told who we should be, how we should respond to situations, and that if we don’t comply negative consequences will come our pick way aka we failed.

But in all honesty, when we feed into these insane expectations we only fail ourselves. We place this uncontrollable amount of stress upon ourselves. We began losing faith in our vision and abilities. We begin to remove ourselves from our authenticity and what makes us so sacred and unique. We literally put ourselves through a blender of doubt to the point where we start second guessing ourselves and affiliating ourselves with an overwhelming amount of negativity. And what good does that do for us? Our peers? Those that look up to us?

Once we lose faith in ourselves, others will lose faith in us. It is okay for you to experience days in which you know you could do better. It’s okay to breathe. Honestly, life is so incredible short and beautiful to beat yourself over something so small. If you didn’t get to where you want to be today, you have tomorrow to do it. There is no sense in clouding your mind with such stress and negativity. You will be successful and you will swim toward your dreams.. just realize that sometimes that will require you to take a minute to float, reflect, and enjoy where you are today. Things will not always go as planned. You will not always agree with your peers or society, but don’t let them morph you into a replica of what they want you to be. Stay true to yourself because you have so much to offer to this world just as the world has so much to offer to you.

Remember to live. To breathe. To inhale all that surrounds you and to smile. Continue to chase after your passions, to work hard, and put yourself out there…but on the same note, continue to breathe when your body needs a break and to always believe in yourself and that everything will eventually pan out. Do not let a critic fret you, let it inspire you to show what you have to offer to the world.

Stay true to yourself. Find ways to live a healthy and positive life and spread happiness toward others. Life’s most treasuring moments occur when you just reflect and breathe. You control the time spent in your life. Just remember, that time is diminishing only when you chose to ignore it. Be aware of yourself and your surroundings.

It’s okay to breathe. xx

Little Sister

For years now, my little sister has truly been a strong support system for me and my family. She takes on any burden without showing any weakness, for the sake of sparing anyone sadness. She truly is the light in my life, but sometimes I think she takes on too much, or people just expect so much out of her because she is too kind to complain. Anyways, last night while showering I was just singing per usual and came up with this beautiful poem about her and just how incredible she is in my eyes. If you have a sister or someone that fills the role as a best friend/sister, feel free to share this with them. I was going to wait until her 21st birthday but I felt it should be shared with her today, in case day were to be our last day together on this earth. I love you Jules. ......................... I thought I knew beauty, But then you touched my soul. Holding you in the hospital room at two years old. Sometimes I get so scared, Then I see you standing there. You take away any doubt, Without moving your mouth, And I've never felt so alive, With you by my side. I've always tried to prepare you, For the world out there. When we would play on the swings, I'd say kick high and aim for your dreams, Because you can do anything. You amaze me in so many ways, everyday. I don't understand how I earned, A spectrum of your heart, You never expect anything in return. When a heavy storm comes my way, You heal every burn and have helped me learn that everything will eventually be okay. But only if you're here to stay. Me and you, A duo nobody can undo. Little sister, You're not so little anymore I miss crawling with you across the floor. With you in my life, I don't need anything more. We're growing up and times flying by, But if you need my shoulder to laugh on or cry, I'll be here arms open, I love you so much and, No matter what distance slips in between, Or when we go through our daily routines, I promise your beauty never goes unseen, Because you constantly finds ways to inspire me. I never worry about us being drawn apart, Because from the moment I held you, You etched in my heart, "Forever and always," A promise from the start.

Love, Strength, Peace, & Kindness Unifies the world. Don't let the small ounce of negativity swallow you whole as this beautiful world has infinity to offer. Pain is only temporary and remember that it only grows stronger if you allow it to defeat you or choose to ignore it. Face any challenge head on, take care of yourself and others, and just make it a point to live your life by shining light toward others. Inhale positivity through the many aspects that it can be consumed and shared: spiritually, mentally, physically. Take care of yourself. Allow yourself to take a break from whatever is causing troubles in your life and breathe. Clear your mind and accept that things will turn out the way you want them to eventually. Do not let the hatred, stress, or overload consume you to the point where you are not living and truly enjoying each moment. It's okay to not be okay. You are not weak if you take a break. It is not failure if it doesn't work out in you favor on the first attempt. And there is nothing wrong with having diversifying qualities or interests in comparison to your peers. At the end of the day, choose love. Self-love. Kind Love. Honest Love. Never ending Love. Encouraging Love. Spreading Love. ❤️
