Monday Vibes! 💫

Fall 7 times, stand up 8! ⁣
⁣
I used to not do things I wanted to do just for the fear of failure 😣. Did not apply to the job, did not talk to the guy, did not move out of my comfort zone, did not register for the competition, was not adventurous, did not go to networking events, did not try to quit xyz, did not try to build muscle, or diet down and soo many other things just because I was scared of failure. ⁣
⁣
Now its just funny how life turns around. Life has been giving me all this opportunities. It actually has obligated me to do the things I dont like to do. ⁣
⁣
Now I look for the challenges, I expect to fail and to stand back again, stronger and eager to better myself and it feels fu***ng amazing. ⁣
⁣
Let's keep growing! ⁣
⁣

I have fallen many times but every time I decide to get back up, I get stronger, smarter, braver... 🤍

Rooting for you!! 🤩🤩🤩 TODAY @ 10pm CANT WAIT!

HAVE A MEANINGFUL FRIDAY! 🤍 let's fu***ng GROW!

Nothing more genuine than this picture. We really try to make a cute family portrait but we learned that the 5 of us are Pure JOY! 🤍

Working in both the fitness industry and the Mental Health is tricky. I would like you to reach your physique goals but to what point? to the point of affecting your self worth?

When being on a physique journey. All we want is to get to that weight, look like we lift, have a big butt/legs, show the abs. But I always wonder 💭... what is going to happen when you reach your goal? Are you going to feel satisfy? Does your happiness depend on wether you have a big butt or not? 🍑

I want to tell you what I have learned in my own journey. I always wanted to look like I lift. I wanted my body to show all the hard work I have been putting for years now. I reached it. I got to look 🔥 then I asked myself: this is it? if I reached my goal why I don't feel as happy as I thought I was going to be?

I set the wrong goal. The question is: why do I need to look certain way to feel happy? Is it going to increase my self esteem? My self worth? I was lacking confidence. I did not know I had the ability to achieve something hard. But being shredded was not going to give me happiness. 🙇🏻‍♀️

I needed a much deeper goal to feel happy. In my case, I reconnected to my life purpose, which is to be a mom, to have a family. I want to be able to create, love and educate my own blood. I get excited only by writing this. Then I realize that I need to be a strong ass woman to be able to achieve my purpose in life, because lets be real, being a mom is a hard job. so I am getting stronger physically and mentally, and one day I'll be a mom.

it's a cycle: strength leads to >> Self confidence >> leads to the ability to do the actions steps needed to be shredded. 🔄

let's not affect our self worth just by setting the wrong goal. We are much more than that. ✨

It all started because I wanted to see change in the people I was helping. I was a mental Health therapist frustrated about my patients/clients results. As everyone, I like to see progress FAST but I was thinking that progress was the final outcome. ⁣
⁣
If you were sick I wanted to see you healthy. ⁣
⁣
If you were struggling with substance abuse, I want to see you being sober. ⁣
⁣
If you were suffering, I wanted to see you happy and calm. ⁣
⁣
If you are struggling with body image, I wanted to see you empowered and confident in your own body. ⁣
⁣
What I did not understand was that I was focusing so much in the outcome goal and not on the process. ⁣
⁣
Not until I started to combine my psychology with my coaching skills, I understood that what really leads to a big impact is the small changes. ⁣
⁣
That is how BE (Butterfly Effect) 21 fitness started. A chaos theory, which says that a tiny, insignificant event can have a strong influence in shaping the future. ⁣
⁣
So why focusing on the outcome goal if the little things are the ones that have a big impact on our life? ⁣
⁣
My mindset shifted. Today I feel accomplished when: ⁣
⁣
🐛You sleep 1 hour more than yesterday.⁣
⁣
🐛Your kid is now into fitness just by following at your example. ⁣
⁣
🐛Your digestion got better today just by drinking more water yesterday. ⁣
⁣
🐛You now have more energy to play with your kids. ⁣
⁣
🐛You now go for a walk when you are having an anxiety attack. ⁣
⁣
🐛You practice gratitude to avoid a depressed mood. ⁣
⁣
⁣
And I can list a hundred of tiny behaviors that lead to change. ⁣
⁣
I hope you can start focusing on the little things so you can create that Butterfly Effect! 🦋⁣
