Where is YOUR place?

You know that place that calms your soul and truly lets your mind & body rest...

Can you picture that place? Can you see what you are doing? How you feel? What you smell? The sounds that surround you?

My place is the beach. The warm sun surrounding me, the sand between my toes, the waves hitting the beach, people talking & kids playing in the distance. Just laying there smelling the coconut lotion and sea breeze. Doing nothing. Just being.

That is my place ☝🏼️

Since I can't do that on the reg, I've been try to recreate some of that here. It's so important to go to your place even if it's just for 5 mins a day. Your place can help you reset & just BE instead of thinking, doing, running around in busy chaos.

One of the ways I've been doing this is by mediating. & taking my mind to the beach. As crazy as it sounds- it works.

I NEVER believed in meditation. For some reason I always thought meditation and prayer were totally different. Meditation was for weird people. Prayer was for me. (I KNOW- totally dumb)

Lately, God has brought people into my life who have given me a TOTALLY different outlook. I never thought I'd be that person but I feel like it's a deeper session of prayer & handing over your mind to God.

I'm definitely still working on it & remembering to do it everyday but the more I integrate it into my life the more it's benefiting everything around me.

Let me say this-- opening your eyes to the different things and doing them, WILL help you achieve the things you want.

It's as the saying going- The same actions give you the same results. Change it up and watch what happens.

Why Not Now?

I always get the question-- SO what is it exactly that you do?

The truth is-- my job is quite amazing 💟. It consists of spreading LOVE and truly caring about how others FEEL in their own skin. Its about holding each other ACCOUNTABLE to our goals. It's about creating FRIENDSHIPS through the challenge group that transcends the computer screen.

It's not just about losing the weight but NEVER finding it again. It's NOT me providing a quick fix. I provide a REAL LIFE SOLUTION that I, MYSELF, am LIVING PROOF of.

So what exactly do I do? It's simple-
I provide a place for US to feel comfortable, supported and motivated. We use Simple Fitness, Simple Nutrition, & Accountability to begin the journey of FEELING our best mentally and physically.

That is what I do. This is what I LOVE. This SYSTEM works for getting people to achieve the RESULTS they want.

I WON'T let you give up & I'll be next to you 100% of the time.

Next CHALLENGE starts Monday. You in? Email me at JaclynCrowellFitness@gmail.com for the details 💟

Childhood Memories

You know those moments that flash you back to your childhood?

That's me. Right now.

I'm shucking corn into a paper bag just like my grandmother used to have us all do. I can remember as a girl loving it. Sitting with my aunt and grandmother on the porch as we worked out way through the corn.

Gosh, I miss them. I miss those moments. I miss that feeling of being surrounded by family on those hot summer nights. I'm sad my kids don't get to experience that.

That right there is my driving force for my health & fitness business. It's to create opportunities to see our family more. To be present and to allow my kids to experience all the wonderful memories I had. To have the freedom to CHOOSE when we get to see them and NOT have it limited to once a year.

My mission is to create a business built from of helping other women feel their best. So we can all be happy, confident and be able to provide that freedom of choice.

As I sit here, remembering those memories, I'll use it as a fuel to push me & someday- we will be there. Shucking corn with my grandmother and aunt on the porch with my kids.

Because it's the smallest memories that make the biggest impact and I won't allow that to be taken away from my kids.

The facts are...

The facts are that YOU are the driver of your life, that YOU are the reason why you are where you are right now & that YOU, and ONLY YOU, can change your direction.

No one else can do it for you.
No amount of talking it out or telling others of your plans will get you to where you want to go.

Say and do. Better yet, write down your vision for where you want your life to go & read it everyday.

Keep it fresh in your mind & in your heart.

I KNOW is not easy to change set habits.
I KNOW it's not easy to shift your mindset.

But what I do know is that when that switch happens new doors open up that you never knew existed. You get better and you learn new habits that actually serve you instead of hurting you.

I'm on this journey too. Working through my own struggles and determined to help other woman make that journey too.

Together, we can.
Together, we can soar.

Who is in your TRIBE?

Ah this picture 💕

When I saw this picture it immediately took me back to how I felt last Sunday. To me, this picture is full of love, laughter and warmth. It's full of empowerment & positive energy. It's full of ladies who don't know each other but still loving on one another.

One of the main reasons I got into Coaching is because of that right there 👆🏼

The Community. The Sisterhood. The Friendships.

The people you surround yourself with become your tribe.

My dream has always been to create a tribe of ladies who empower & support one another. To be able to link arms and work to help other women feel their best. To be surrounded by other women who are ready for more in their life & willing to fight to get it.

Our tribe that we are building is a sisterhood and together we are creating freedom, confidence and happiness. Without them I wouldn't have made it this far.

Blessed to have met each and every one of them and excited to meet the new ladies who join us 💕
