Last year, I let fear control a lot of the things I had on my heart.

Last year, I let fear control a lot of the things I had on my heart. I made myself a promise that nothing would hold me back, not even myself. I feared going public with workout journey because I thought people would judge me or would have so much to say. After that, there was me having my own Youtube channel, which I never fully went through with because I didn’t think people would want to hear my story. Since this has be on my heart for some time now, I am going through with it!! I remember telling my friends all that I wanted to do, but I would always back out of it. To be honest, I don’t know where this fear came from, because I’ve never been the one to care what anyone thought of me. People will always find something wrong with everything you do and I cant let that control my actions. I won’t get anywhere in life if I always let the naysayers get to me.

Do you know how much I could have accomplished by now if i had this same attitude then, as I do now?! Man, thats highly disappointing, but I also take it as a lesson learned. Now that i have a different mind set, I can care less about who wants to see me fail because all of this is for me. I just want to inspire  people in any aspect of life; rather its fitness, fashion, blogging, etc. I AM ROOTING FOR YOU! I am that one person who wants to see you win! My advice to you is to go after whatever it is that your heart desires! Big or small, never let the opinion of others stop you from achieving  your goals. Someone out there is depending on you and you don’t even know it. KEEP GOING.

Time to Switch Things up

I have been working out off and on now for about a two years. I see the results but then I get bored and I come to a complete stop because I get tired of the same ole gym routine and I end up losing all my motivation to go. There was a time where I didn’t have to push myself to go workout, but my routine became boring so I lost interest, but now I want to switch things up so I don’t get bored.

I did a little research and there are so many other way to lose weight besides just going to the gym. I go to boot camp three days a week and I’ll be kicking it up a notch to help me reach my goal.

Here are a few things you can try on your fitness journey:

• Dance 101 (hip-hop)
• Yoga
• Kickboxing
• Hiking
• Cycle Bar
• Pole Dancing
• Zumba
• Park Workouts
• Pilates
• Crossfit

I’m tired of starting over because I know what I am capable of; I’ve done it before. I have goals to reach and I cant keep letting myself down. Everything I listed above is cost efficient and are all on Groupon no matter what city or state you’re in. Some things may not work for you and thats okay; this is my journey and I have to do whats best for me and my body.

I no longer care what people think of me! I’m busting my ass to make a change in my life.

I am excited to announce NaturallyGOLDEN is finally making a Youtube Channel. So click the link and subscribe to my channel. My first video will be live February 3rd. I am claiming this to be my year to flourish. This may be hard, but I have to change my mindset and believe in myself because that’s the only way I will succeed.
