Working through comparison and jealousy.

They say comparison is the thief of joy and if you really reflect on how comparing yourself to others negatively affects you, I think we both could agree that they say that it’s the thief of joy for a number of very good reasons... Think about it, one minute you may be feeling confident and content with yourself and your life and the next, the comparison game begins playing in your head as you let’s say, mindlessly scroll through social media and see people you know (or don’t know) who from your perspective, look better than you and/or are seemingly living a better, more imposing life. So, wha ..read more

I don’t believe there is any “wrong” way to build your glutes or any other muscle for that matter. Because, if you’re building your muscles then it doesn’t matter what you’re doing to build them, you’re still building them, right? Although building is building, I do however believe that there are more quick(er) and effective ways to build your glutes by performing particular exercises and implementing certain techniques than others.So in this post I’m going to show you how I upped my glute progression game as well as my clients to achieve more desirable results in a quicker time frame. 1.)

“Ixchelle, would you please read the next paragraph for the class?” asked my first grade teacher. I remember looking up at my teacher with great dismay and instantly felt as if my heart were about to explode out of my chest. Suddenly my mind began to flood with fears of stumbling over my words, sounding slow and being laughed at. This was the first time I can distinctly remember experiencing social anxiety but certainly not the last…For the majority of my life I have feared both big and small social settings especially speaking in front of others and being in the spotlight. Even with family or ..read more

Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction isn’t as simple as just staying sober but it also includes achieving a fulfilling life. Most people in recovery will tell you that their journey has not been linear rather full of learning lessons, setbacks and new discoveries. Hence, it is crucial for those who are in recovery to find a support network of people who have great insight on how the journey is. Family and old friends who will support you are great to have around of course, however in many cases they may not fully understand the recovery process or know how to support you like recovery base ..read more

I wanted to write a blog post today that is a little bit more personal instead of a self-help entry like I have been doing a bit more of lately.I wanted to talk about abuse. Sexual abuse. Emotional abuse. Physical abuse- any type of abuse. I want to talk about this because so many of us have experienced it whether that be from our family, friends, peers, bosses, in our romantic relationships, etc. As many of us know (but I feel a need to reiterate anyway) abuse is painful while it is happening of course, but what often times seems to be the case is, the abuse is more painful once it is all “sa ..read more

“Who am I?”... The question we all have come to ask ourselves once or... a couple thousand times throughout our lifetime. This question can be one of those uncomfortable questions to reflect upon at times, especially when we are being faced with hard truths and realities. But at the same time, it is a very necessary question to ask ourselves no matter what type of season we are in- a ‘down’ season or an ‘up’ season. I think some people might find it a bit easier to identify themselves while for others, it may be a rigorous journey to true self-discovery. This can be because of multiple factors ..read more

When you think of the word, 'addiction' what comes to your mind? Personally for me the first thing that I naturally think about when I hear this word is drugs and alcohol but I have learned that addiction runs in many forms... porn, sex, shopping, food, substances, gambling, social media, working, the list goes on...The majority of my life I struggled with various forms of addiction such as, shopping, gambling, alcohol, and drugs just to list a few. For the longest time I didn't really think much of my drinking and drug binges, my excessive shopping sprees and visits to the casino because "it ..read more

Over this last week, for some odd and random reason I was reflecting back on my past relationships versus the relationships that I have today and I thought one thing... there's a big difference between what my relationships look like today as opposed to back then and by "back then" I mean all of less than a year ago.Obviously relationships include two or more people meaning there are more people involved in a relationship than just you. With that being said, relationships are always a two-way street which means both parties make decisions and choices.Whether you are in a romantic relationship ..read more

Fitness isn't everything

Over the course of my life, lifting weights and being involved in sports has definitely helped my mental health and has in a sense saved my butt many times but through time I have realized that being active and fit isn't everything...I started playing sports at a young age, although I was a brutal young athlete (literally, I was the kid who was too embarrassed to play in front of a crowd and would rather sit on the bench, I would score on my own team's goal, and I would have panic attacks and cry in the middle of the game) but I enjoyed being a part of something and I enjoyed watching myself i ..read more
