What habits have you changed and what habits have you formed?

I’m healing from being sick and my habits have helped me stay on track. If I had to rely on motivation who knows where I would be? I stay focused by revisiting my goals and tracking my progress. I rate my progress based on what I’ve tracked (on the Mackk Fitness app and through journaling). I don’t judge my progression by the number on a scale. That number could be based on good OR bad habits. I look at my ability to adapt to new exercises and movements. I look at my ability to recognize when my mental health needs attention. I look at my ability to still the mental fluctuations in my mind. I look at my ability to incorporate healthier habits into my everyday life for sustainable change.

The non-negotiable is that I don’t pause this. I adjust accordingly. That’s what makes it sustainable. It’s not easy but “if it doesn’t challenge you it doesn't change you”.

What habits have you formed or are you finding challenging to form? I’m interested to hear. Comment below or send me a DM 🙏🏾

Do groups with other parents and their kids give you anxiety? 🙋🏾‍♀️ ✅ I am used to training big groups, and working with athletes and their families but when it comes to being a parent participating with my son & other parents…
😱 🫣
I avoid birthday parties and parks like the plague (grateful Kyrie’s dad is very active with bringing him to parks and birthday parties). It’s something I’m working on, but I’m not there yet 🙏🏾

Kyrie's first day of the basketball program. It was scary for Kyrie and me at first. I always dread people comparing Kyrie to other kids, asking about his speech, and judging his shyness, and my awkwardness/antisocial habits. Sweating buckets from stress as I walked through the doors of the gym with Kyrie- being the parent instead of the coach is such a change. I was so anxious I considered turning around. Kyrie grabbed my hand tight and I had a flashback *where I brought Kyrie to a soccer practice where the coach was not patient with Kyrie and made me not even want to bring Kyrie back ever again. *
I nervously walked up to the Apex Basketball Coach and introduced myself and Kyrie (this alone was HUGE for me). The coach was so kind and understanding of Kyrie's initial shyness. The coach got on Kyrie's level to get to know him. He was so patient and gave off really good energy. As shy as Kyrie was at first I could tell he was going to open up and enjoy this program. No questions about Kyrie's speech. No comparing him to other kids. Just good energy, meeting my son exactly where he’s at ♥️🙏🏾🥰✅ (hallelujah).

Kyrie's cousins showed up and he was so happy (so was I). We made it past the intros and Kyrie wanted time out to express that he wanted to just do his own thing on the sidelines. His uncle (also very patient/understanding of Kyrie) practiced with him on the side and Kyrie was having fun once again. Practicing dribbling, passing, shooting, listening- great lessons with great staff for kids with different strengths and abilities.

I’m glad Kyrie and I were able to face our fears and I look forward to watching him grow within this program 🙏🏾 🏀

Another person's reaction to your boundaries is THEIR responsibility, not yours. Build your resilience to other people's reactions. Manipulation comes in many forms including emotional- you may not even realize you’re being emotionally manipulated.

If you don’t set boundaries your health and happiness will be compromised and it will affect all other aspects of your life.

Boundaries are a major part of your health journey. I talk to all my clients about this and it’s something I recently had to remind myself of as well.

You deserve peace. You deserve mental clarity. You deserve time to work on yourself without feeling guilty.

Sending you light and healing energy 🙏🏾 💛 💫

It’s a new week, your actions set the tone- Have a blessed Monday

🚨🚨You can 100% have a health goal for the summer (and beyond). There’s nothing wrong with having a pair of jeans you make a goal to fit into. The problems come when you’re not taught how to love yourself regardless of what size you are. That’s when you start thinking of yourself negatively and disrespecting your mind+body. Love yourself where you’re at and recognize that your ability to fit into a size whatever pair of jeans doesn’t define you. Your fitting into your jeans will just be a byproduct of the habits you form. Your habits are what define you. That’s where your focus needs to be.

“Your habits shape your identity”-James Clear, Atomic Habits

What you repeatedly do, even small actions, day by day are what I teach people focus more on. What are you doing to develop yourself into the happy, positive energy-radiating individual you were created to be? What are you doing to fulfil your purpose in life (you DO have a purpose I promise you).

My purpose is to help people develop their inner athlete. How? By building healthier habits. I hold you accountable. I have expectations of you that over time you will begin to have of yourself too. With 10+ years of coaching and being a committed lifelong learner, I have created a system to help you not only reach your goals but sustain quality fitness and conditioning levels.

The feeling of being part of a community of like-minded individuals who are after a common goal of incorporating healthier habits in their lives is life-changing. I’m committed to providing an online space for people to be a part of this community. Excited for my Mackk Fitness family to experience this space of quality individuals and resources.

I got you. It’s go time 🔥🔥

And to whoever needs to hear this, just wear the dang jeans. It’s normal to have to jump into your jeans, it’s also normal to have a ride-or-die fupa 🙋🏾‍♀️🥰

*2-day online event details & registration will be available tomorrow 👌🏾🙌🏾♥️*

A lot of people are struggling.
A lot of people are feeling hopeless and feel like giving up.
I’ve been there I get it. I’m healing through those feelings myself.
It’s important to remember that God/the universe/whatever higher power you believe in will not give you situations you cannot handle and strengthen from. It may seem like you are suffering but you’re being strengthened.

I have experienced a significant amount of prejudice and turmoil as an African Canadian female business owner. I use these experiences to form new business ideas and help other people and entrepreneurs. I have been turned away from many tables and now I’m happy to have built my own. Am I exactly where I want to be? Not yet, but I’m certainly on my way there with the help of some exceptional humans and the grace of God.

What you do and what you believe you are capable of doing has a tremendous effect on your future.

You have the choice to crumble under stress or use the pressure to create diamonds.

Repeat that to yourself.

Sending you so much love and light. Don’t give up, you got this 💛🙏🏾

I was not feeling mentally well earlier today. I started the day feeling frustrated and defeated. I took the day off of work and ended up walking to the Mackk Fitness Studio. After a much needed laugh with my sister (so grateful for all the kind things she did for me today) I decided to begin my workout. I tried to push through a very light workout, but my mind and my body brought me to my yoga mat. I did a guided meditation and focused on releasing tension from my mind and from my body. I stayed focused on being present and reminded myself of all the things and people that I am grateful for.

It’s easy to get lost in daily fluctuations of your mind. It happens to me all the time. Self development is not linear, there will be waves. Taking the time to recognize that whatever thoughts you are having are only true if you give them the power to be. I am choosing to focus on what I’m grateful for, releasing what/who is no longer for me and bringing my awareness back to my breath.

To whoever needs to hear this,
take time to breathe.
You are deserving of happiness.
Stay present. 💛🙏🏾

I will openly admit that I am healing from thinking I can handle everything on my own.

You need a team. 💯

Not only for improving efficiency of whatever it is you’re doing (business, health journey, sports…), but what I’m learning is the effect having a solid team has on your mental health.

Going from always feeling like “you got you” to having people you trust (scary word for some of us, I get it) is an indescribable feeling. Mentally I have grown so much because of the team of people who support me without even having to ask. They make my anxiety manageable, they make my self doubt much less intense, they remind me to be present and actually live (workaholic 🙋🏾‍♀️).

Shout out to my team, I’m so grateful God blessed me with you all ♥️🙏🏾

And shout of to all of my Mackk Fitness Family members. Thank you for trusting me as a fitness professional to be part of your healthcare team. I take my work and your goals beyond serious. ♥️ sending you all positive energy today and don’t forget to send me your check-in responses ♥️🥰🙏🏾 *I’m not joking, if you haven’t yet send them asap*
