Life is now, but I’ve never wanted to live it.I can honestly say, by choosing to live “dfStronger” I am re-wiring my brain to respond differently to situations I once couldn’t handle. Living everyday with Bipolar Manic Depression as a successful, motivating, encouraging, inspiring professional woman.
Many years of a negative self-talking inner voice had programmed me for disaster. It happened, and I had no where else to go, I was at the bottom. Reaching the end, I could choose to find a way to want to live or give up. Fortunately, my family wasn’t letting me give up, which helped but ultimately finding the courage to fight for happiness came from inside me. The power is within, we all have it!
Self-medicating, through drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, shopping, Ultimately, in everything I do with my life, my overall goal is to be happy, genuinely happy. I’m not talking the kind where you smile, showing everyone how you are supposed to be feeling but on inside you’re crying. I seek to find peace within, to love the life we are gifted with, and live it because I respect it, not because I’m stuck here.

I reflect daily, and lately I’ve been realizing I’ve made so many improvements in my daily behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that life as of late, seems more peaceful. My head feels lighter, clearer, even through dealing with the stress of daily life hustle . I attribute this to so many things, a laundry list of things, but if I had to narrow it down in an overview... To come this far, I've been doing some work-FORMING A SYSTEM TO JUMP START MY DAY

LIVING the dfSTRONGer lifestyle, I am re-wiring my brain, building muscle memory
It is not believing the world is full of roses and rainbows, it is knowing it can be a cruel, dark place, but trusting that shining your light will make a world of difference in you and the people you surround yourself with! | I’ve been teaching my brain to believe in my inner beast. The mind is a “muscle” and must be worked in order to see progress and formulate muscle memory. I am choosing to believe in the power of the unique gifts and talents I’ve been blessed with and am by doing my best to become the best I can be, thereby shining a light to help others do the same. I believe I was given this mountain to overcome to show others it can be done! |
Why be so blunt, so open, to so many people with such personal feelings? I believe I was given this mountain to overcome to show others it can be done! I choose to work on unlocking my potential, doing the best I can with what I’ve been gifted to help others unlock their gifts too! Manic depression doesn’t define me, it helps build my character. When we overcome, when we we decide to persevere through each challenge in our path, it is an opportunity to become better. I believe in becoming the best version who we are born to be, together we become better.
Been working on a new Instagram account, @dfSTRONGerFUELED to add to my social media connections. In doing so, I’ve really been reflecting on who my target audience is. I am the health and fitness professional who can help change your life over time, help you develop lasting habits for a lifetime through exercise, not the quick fix transformation type. I'd like to use the new account to demonstrate more meals, snacks, and supplements I use to fuel my body to help me feel better!
The people who will have best results with my programming are those that my story speaks to, those that may be searching for something similar. I believe food choice has a major impact on how we feel, our moods change depending on what we consume. Choose real food! Happiness!
