Simple as that. We live in a time where social media is the news. Everyone wants to see what everyone else is doing and how they are living their lives. The sad truth is people are now living their lives to please others in exchange for likes and shares. Now don't get me wrong I think social media is cool and I utilize it to build my brand but there was a point when I was addicted to it. I would catch my self looking at a few pictures and next thing you know I've lost track of time and a whole hour has gone by. I then realized that I was wasting time being entertained by what I like to call today's news instead of actually being productive in what I needed to do for myself. If we spent as much one applying ourselves to reading books, making business plans and setting and accomplishing goals as much as we swipe down our screens on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram , our progress would be phenomenal in regards to our dreams and goals. So I say this, are you working or watching ?

HOW DO YOU VIEW STRESS?

So I was in my Stress Management class at Rowan University and of course the topic was stress as it usually is. We then got into a heated discussion on how stress affects our lives and we later watched a video from “TED Talk” on how to make stress your friend. The video made some interesting points and even made me change my perspective on stress. 

The speaker on “Ted Talk” explained stress as…

As you all know I'm a very self-motivated individual. I don't really need a reason or someone to push me all the time for me to get motivated. I've just always been about action and being the best version of myself . Every once in a while though, I hit a slump where I find myself searching for motivation whether it be at the gym , in school , as an entrepreneur, or even in my case a boyfriend. We all need a push sometimes. Right here are 6 individuals whom I always look to for that extra motivation. Each of them have their own unique stories and struggles but they all have one thing in common, they NEVER QUIT!!! I catch myself from time to time texting , calling or simply looking through their IG page for motivation and I'm never let down. They are all genuine and passionate about what they do from fitness, to motivational speaking, to social work. I just wanted to take time out of my day to thank each and every one of them for the positive role they have played in my life to help me in times of need and for that drive that they give me to go hard with anything I'm passionate about. If they've motivated me I'm sure they can do the same for you. Go over and give them a follow and see for yourself @big_ty_russ @tonechat1211 @progressnotperfection1012 @kris.johnson @_soclassy_ @lestalkmoreaction

We all will fail at something in our lifetime. What makes us great is how we react to it. I've pressed 24 plates before for a good solid 10 reps jus a few weeks ago. This was suppose to be nothing for me because I've done it. For some reason I couldn't get it up yesterday but I never quit . Doesn't matter if I couldn't get the weight up. It was still my mutha f^*%* set!!!! ( @isymfs ) The rep count was 10 and I was damned if I wouldn't get 10 reps in. I didn't care that it was our last exercise of the night. We weren't leaving until I finished my set! Even if I had to take a few plates off I made sure it got done. That right there is called mindset. Yeah I failed on my last set of leg presses but I wasn't leaving a failure. NO WAY!!!! I closed my eyes re-gathered myself , took a few plates off and got my money's worth. Ain't no half stepping over here. These weights won't beat us. My brothers @big_ty_russ @tonechat1211 really pushed me through this one. I'm paying for it today but it was well worth it. Until we meet again leg press😈

Often in my life I have stressed myself over things I could not control from family issues to finances. The list is long but as time went on I realized I could not control these certain things. Only thing I really had control over was how hard I worked . That was one thing NO ONE could take from me. I'm a firm believer in hard work paying off . I'm not even close to where I want to be but I know that my hard work won't be in vein. My faith in God and his process is way too strong to allow negativity to hold me down . I work too hard to give in now . I have too many people counting on me for me to not give everything I have plus more . My grind doesn't stop for anything. I can't stop because someone will need to hear this testimony when I am where God wants me to be. My testimony will change someone's life and make them believe that if I can make it out so could they . I can't fail , I won't fail , I'm working . To be continued ... _________________________________________________ Week 2 💪🏾🏆

"Not enough hours in the day" is an excuse that lazy people make not to be great . Stop taking away from your greatness and get to work because honestly nobody cares how hard you work at your goals but the results however will speak for themselves. You can say you're grinding all you want but you can't cheat the grind. Are you getting the most out of every day or are you letting the opportunity to grow , slip away ?

I had so much fun today @oldnavy with my fitfam @ne_training @phit45 . We came in and got a great workout and got some awesome ActiveWear to look good in for our next workouts. @progressnotperfection1012 @kris.johnson opened up the morning with some intense @phit45 training and I came in with some fun but challenging circuit training. I wish I could have stayed for @ak_fit27 strength and conditioning workout but work was calling. I know she killed it !!! -------------------------------------- By @ne_training via @RepostWhiz app: S/O to @oldnavy for having such an incredible event today! We enjoyed being a part of the cause.

Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe. I've been through it all. I'm built for this

[nevans35]

Week 1 💪🏾🏆 This journey has nothing to do with competing , everything to do with life. Never quit . If you live by that then success is inevitable

[nevans35]

Week 1 💪🏾🏆 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 A sense of calling gives us perspective on what we do. Whether we succeed or fail, we can sustain motivation to our calling if we remain faithful. ________________________________________________ 📸 @tonechat1211 👊🏾💥

That last rep means everything. It's the difference between being good and being great . That last rep is were you grow mentally and physically. Your mind tells your body that "you better not quit, don't let this iron beat you !!!!" ... Your body then pushes past its limits and you know tap into your inner BEAST !!!!👿 NEVER QUIT! You may fail or have a setback but I repeat you NEVER QUIT ❗️❗️❗️ ________________________________________ Thanks for the push brothers @big_ty_russ @tonechat1211 💪🏾👊🏾 (at Retro Fitness Egg Harbor Twp)
