It’s been a long time since I have been able to genuinely smile. For the first time in a few years I can smile from the inside out. I love it and I love this feeling. Did you miss me?? #iamback #imissedyou #itsbeenamoment #fightingdepression #winningoverdepression #buildingbusinesses (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPkSQgilObA/?utm_medium=tumblr

So many times I struggled with making my battle with mental illness a part of my story. But as you can see by turning on the news, scrolling your FB feed, or through conversation that mental illness is present and isn’t going anywhere. It really needs to be addressed a lot more. But addressed with solutions. There aren’t cookie cutter ways in dealing with mental illness. But one thing you can do is educate yourself about it. Whether it’s for better understanding of it or to better understand yourself. Part of the issue is recognizing that it is not a curse and should not make you feel shame. It is the stigma that society puts on us that makes me struggle with the decision to admit to it. And I know this is the same for others. But this is my TRUTH! It is your TRUTH! I stand in my TRUTH! Stand and hold your head high! You have to accept it in order to take the steps to deal with it. Learn to “WIN”! I am winning every day! I understand you... I support you.... Let’s do this together! Love, light, and blessings... 💋 #winningoverdepression #standingtall #lifestrategist #pushforward #noshame https://www.instagram.com/p/CCydXBqlC6q/?igshid=1n2m2w343ptpi

I have to constantly remind myself to be proud of how hard I am trying to keep going everyday. The struggle is real. I have small glimpses of time of when my life is recognizable to me and the majority of the time, it is not. I think many times of how is it that I can teach others how to live their best life or even strive to follow their dreams when I can’t hold my ist together daily. But I know this is the best research. How can I relate to a client? By going through the storm too... I know the struggles and I know the pathways that I had to and have to take to come out on the other end. I am hoping that I can be that map you use when you walk out of life‘s maze. Believe it or not but there is more than one exit. The key is to not give up and find one. I am rooting for you as I hope you are rooting for me. Let‘s do it together! * * * * #beproud #winningoverdepression #msnickyfitness #selfliftnetwork #keeppushing #keeptrying https://www.instagram.com/p/ByEBAyco_j3/?igshid=1wjap1p8kca97

People have many reasons to get up every morning and prepare their meals for the day, go to the gym, or look into the next fitness movement. I do it because my life depends on it. Why do you do it? I don’t talk about my depression often but maybe I should. It is not talked about enough and definitely not explained. Not everyone understands the full multitude of what levels of depression exists, what actually is depression, and why there is no shame in admitting to it and seeking help. I guess it’s time to start the dialogue on my end. #winningoverdepression #healthbeatsdepression #fitnessbeatsdepression #depressionsucks #healthlife #fightingeveryday https://www.instagram.com/p/BxwhbjhFoCw/?igshid=ivqt2gwf8xw3
