how to let go


Welcome back to my blog! 

 In this post I am going to talk about the importance of letting go.  2019 was an amazing year for me and was filled with some of the most joy filled moments I have ever experienced. 2019 was also filled with some difficult situations and struggles that I have had to work through within myself.  The reason I am saying all this is because this blog post has been something I've needed to hear for a while and I hope that it helps you out in some way, like it did for me.  

I found this quote on Pinterest a few days ago and it really sparked my thoughts, so I decided to write about it! I have recently been reading a book called "to hell with the hustle" and in this book, the author discusses our thought patterns and how our thoughts turn into our habits and our habits turn into our everyday reality. So, ultimately if we want to change our everyday reality, we must first start with changing our thoughts. (I highly recommend, if you are looking for a new read!)

I think it is important to find contentment and peace with where you are currently in life. This can be easier said than done because I know that sometimes we are stuck in situations that we have no control over. These situations can be related to our work environment, our family situations, our friendships, or even our relationships. I think in order to find happiness with our life; we have to be willing to let certain things go.

 We all have reasons for why we hold onto situations and the hurt that we feel, when really it's simple: these feelings are heavy and they are weighing us down. Sometimes we need to realize that friendships will change, people will let us down, and life doesn't happen exactly as we planned it. 

 The truth is that we need to get real with ourselves and realize what we need to let go of so we can grow.  If we want blessings, joy, and good things in our life, we need to be available and open to them.  Holding onto pain, prevents you from appreciating the current blessings in your life. 
A huge first step is identifying the things that you need to let go of, the situations that you need to move past, and things that may be weighing you down and figure out how you personally need to work through them. Sometimes this means talking and voicing your feelings to someone that you trust so you can work through an issue. Other times, this means putting up necessary boundaries and walking away from a negative situation that is making you feel less than. Whatever it is, you know what needs to be done.


My personal goal for 2020 is being open to whatever the future holds and focusing on the all blessings and people currently in my life.  God knows what is going to happen in the future and even though we may not always understand the reason behind certain situations, HE does.  You are free to let that situation or person go because there are only better things and bigger blessings coming your way!


I hope that you guys enjoyed this simple post and that it gave you some encouragement!

Gym Shark Review

Gym Shark is one of my new favorite workout brands that I am so excited to write about. I’ve always been a fan of Victoria’s Secret leggings, but found that they were not so great for working out or my budget.  I began hearing about the Gym Shark leggings and seeing people wearing them at the gym where I work, so I figured I’d give them a try.    I ordered a pair of the Fit leggings, which are all black with a black waistband. I was expecting the material of these leggings to be thicker like workout leggings usually are, but they are actually very breathable and thin but not see through. I love how these legging have a sticky lining on the waistband because this means they actually stay up while I run or lift. This is also helpful for holding my phone while I do lunges, so I can still listen to music. (the most important part of my workout routine.) The best part of these leggings I personally think is how they don’t have a crotch inseam, which i...

Starting a Fitness Routine

With the start of Fall comes a new school year and new routines. I work at a gym, and typically this time of year we get a lot of new members wanting to start their fitness journey. We all have been there and get ourselves all hyped up for a week… and then we end up losing our fitness streak. Then we must start over, back to square one. I'm here to share some tips on how to KEEP that streak going and ways to stay motivated!   Do what works for your schedule The number one mistake that people tend to make is plan to workout hard 7 days a week only to burn out after day 2 and eventually give up. If you work a full-time job or are in school, realistically you will not have the time to workout every single day. Simply take a look at your schedule and pick the days that work best for you, even if it's just twice a week, that's better than not going at all! Plan it out When you have no idea what you are going to do at the gym, or have no idea how to use any equipmen...

Follow your Heart

I absolutely love the saying “Follow your heart.” In fact, this quote is in my Instagram bio, as a reminder to myself and to others. Throughout my life, when I’ve had to make difficult decisions, I’ve always come back to this saying. Call it intuition or a gut feeling, but typically in my life my “gut feelings” have always been right. Fear is scary. I mean, it  is fear. It’s an emotion stemming from uncontrollable stress and anxiety. As human beings, we have settled on running away from fear at any cost. But I’m here to tell you that we are not meant to live in fear, but to live along side it. . Does that sound crazy to you? Just hear me out. No matter how much running you do to try to escape your fear, it’ll always be right there behind you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s inevitable. Fear is  a constant. Instead of losing your mind trying to escape the emotion, learning to accept it and live with it will lead to truly overcoming fear. ...
