Which Woman are you?

🙅🏼As women we shouldn’t compete with other women. 🙅🏼

We should compete with our self. Be better than you were yesterday. Continuously compete with yourself and grow yourself.

💥We don’t grow by tearing others down!💥

Let’s 👉🏼eliminate👈🏼the “mean girl/woman” and be the 💕“empowering girl/woman”💕

⭐️Which girl/woman are you?

⭐️Which girl/woman do you want to be?

⭐️Which girl/woman do you want to raise?

Blessings not Complaints

Posted by: elishasmith Posted on: October 16, 2016 , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

This can be said about many things in life!

We have become a society that complains about everything!

Let’s start seeing the blessings we have and the difference we can make in our lives and the lives of others!

That one smile can change someone’s whole day!

This picture Ethan is telling me that “you got this!” This was towards the end of the workout and it gave me the extra that I needed to make it through. He didn’t have to say anything, but he did and he made my heart happy!

Let’s change the world one person at a time! Start by changing yourself with seeing the blessings in life and not complain about the hard times.

Power of Knowing Yourself

Posted by: elishasmith Posted on: October 16, 2016 , , , , , , , , ,

Do you tell yourself nice things?

I still struggle with telling myself good thoughts. 😔

I’m working on it! I’m happy with how my body is looking.. but I still compare myself to others. I should only compare myself to myself!

🌹You should only compare yourself to yourself. 🌹

🙅🏼We especially don’t need to compare ourselves to the magazines! 🙅🏼‍♂️

💥Tell yourself wonderful things about yourself today! Let’s make it a habit! It takes 21 days to make a habit! 💥

👉🏼Are you willing to say at least 1 good thing about yourself a day for 21 days? 👈🏼

Lovee you.jpg

Show Up Everyday!

Posted by: elishasmith Posted on: October 16, 2016 , , , , , , , ,

This quote can be used for many different things in your life!

Do you show up everyday or do you just show up once in a while?

It’s like saying I’m a runner… but I only run once every 6 months… am I really a runner? Runners are you there every day showing up!

Are you an everyday person or a once in a while person?

I want to be the person that shows up everyday!! As a MOM, as a WIFE, as a COACH, as a FRIEND!

Believe in Yourself!!

believe-in-yourself-pullup

Saw this yesterday and it spoke to me.

With starting the new program, I knew there would be pull ups and chin ups. I have never been able to do more than 2! Last night I did 17!!!! In the matter of 2 minutes (with burpees and jumps in those same 2 minutes)

It’s amazing what we can accomplish that we never thought possible!

We got the pull up bar a few weeks ago and I could only do 1!!

Just beyond excited!

God is Good!

💥Anxiety Battle💥

*4 years between these photos!! So much has changed!!*
 
The picture on the left was my first time really getting out of the house to visit someone after my anxiety hit. I was nervous and scared to leave the security of my home.
 
With anxiety came the severe acid reflux. This reflux was debilitating. Constant indigestion and feeling like I was going to get sick. For those who know me… I have a HUGE phobia of getting sick to my stomach!
 
This is not how I wanted to live life. I’ve always had issues with feeling sick to my stomach. But this was just awful.
 
Panic attacks and anxiety are no joke! You literally can’t control the feelings. You can try your best to talk yourself out of it. It can take every last ounce of effort to pull yourself out of it.
 
I’m truly thankful for the people in my life that didn’t give up on me and kept pulling me out! It gets depressing when you feel that there is no way out of your anxiety. I felt that I would never be back to normal again. I was sad and scared. I knew I had a ton of life left but I had to find it!
 
These last 4 years have been an uphill battle. I have my moments but I am better at identifying the signs.
 
Having Evan has helped so much! I have someone to put all my effort into and not much time to sit and let my brain go to town on itself. I still have bad minutes, hours and days.. But I have to keep moving forward.
 
I pray constantly that I can completely knock out the anxiety, panic attacks and reflux. But until then I will keep moving forward and keep praying.
 
I am proud at how far I have come!
 
The picture on the left I weighed 101 lbs! And super unhealthy. The picture on the right I am 110 lbs, and a whole lot healthier!!
 
The girl in the left could barely walk a 100 yards with out feeling like I needed to lay down. The girl on the right… I fell like the sky is the limit!
 
If you love someone with anxiety.. Know they love you too! It’s a constant battle for us and it takes a lot of mental power to calm the storm. Learn the signs! Learn how you can help! It can make a world of difference!
