Happier

Been awhile since I posted. I think I’ll post more here in 2023.

2022 had its ups and downs, captured a few weddings and hope to capture a few more here in 2023.

2022 wasn’t a bad year at all. For me we have been in Tennessee a year, building the property up slowly, but making good money. Working on my strength training and just focusing on me and James and our little family.

Do what you love with the person that means the most to you. The person you see a future with, the one who has opened your mind and making you think for yourself, the one that makes you happy.

I stopped and I realized something. I’m almost a certified personal trainer. Why was I promoting something when I should be working on my own business? No offense to the wonderful and beautiful coaches out there getting people to workout and baking a difference in their lives, but technically you’re just a wanna be personal trainer without the studying, the schooling, and whatever it is us trainers go through. Watching the different coaches then watching actual trainers is so different and just makes you rethink things.

Getting deeper into that me as a trainer I know my scope of practice and that is I’m not allowed to recommend any supplements or nutrition to any of my clients, I can educate but that’s all. You say you’re not a build board for whatever you’re promoting, but you are, you push these supplements, bars, shakes, etc.. with maybe little research on them and that’s not me I’m a build board for myself. I promote myself and want to motivate others in getting healthier themselves with little to no cost because really getting in shape shouldn’t cost you much just the trainer to be by your side, help you when needed, and motivate you to be the best you that you can be.

Everyone in different, I loved it, I loved the virtual gym anywhere and anytime with a bunch of different trainers qualified in different things. What base me realize this was not being a coach for beach body, was the recall on the treadmill peloton. Many people/animals got hurt, a 6 year old died and why are we paying thousands of dollars to get motivated? If you have to pay that much to get motivated to do something you might need to rethink your life.

Live like you’re gonna die tomorrow.

When we are born we all come with an expiration date. Know one knows when that is so just treat each day like it’s your last. Get the tattoo, eat that cupcake, date the person who just looks at you like you’re their whole world, do what ever it takes that makes you smile and keep smiling.

Live your life how you want.

We are born, we live, we die. We all live in the same circle. it’s how you make your life and what you do that makes you happy. Don’t wait to do something, you want to hike the Grand Canyon, travel the world, go to school and become a doctor, teacher, cop, even what I am going to school for a personal trainer. Do what you want to do and don’t wait until last minute to start what your heart wants.

Photography is my passion, that has been since 2012. I fell in love with taking pictures of bands and capturing the perfect moments. After I took a year of school I focused on work and working out and fell in love with training myself to be the best I can be. Now I am back in school in 2018 to be a personal trainer. Helping others achieve goals and make them the best version of themselves they can be. It doesn’t have to be in the gym it can be whatever just want to motivate people to be the best they can be in the short time we have on this planet. If you don’t know what you want yet it’s okay, you have some time to think try new things and figure it out. Just keep going it will come eventually.
