Discipline and consistency.
.
There’s nothing fancy about it - just do the work and do it often. This is a key lesson I learn through my training and it applies both inside and outside the gym.
.
Lately I’ve been applying this lesson to dealing with emotional triggers; forcing myself to sit through my feelings (discipline) and doing it as often as possible (consistency).
.
This just goes to show you the power of fitness and how it can improve so many other aspects of your life ❤️✅

A very important question to ask yourself, especially when strong emotions arise. #Repost @yung_pueblo ・・・
When our self-awareness starts deepening, one of the things we begin to understand is that much of who we are and how we see the world is formed through the accumulation of past moments of intense emotion– moments that leave their mark on the subconscious and predispose us to repeating certain behaviors/emotions that are similar to what we have felt in the past.
When traveling inward there are times when we hit a particularly rocky layer of the mind, a sediment of conditioning that has been so thickly reinforced that it takes patience and persistence for it to soften and release. When we work on letting go of the hardened inner layers there is often an impact on our personal lives— we feel the storms of yesterday or the heaviness of times that have long since passed, there is the feeling of being on the edge of turbulence and disharmony as we open ourselves up to the process of deconditioning. It is the habit of holding on that causes this tension, because of the countless repetition of the same behavior there is a struggle to let go.
The rapid movements of the mind are so subtle that it can feel like we are the makers of our present destiny, when in reality the past is pushing itself into our present, inclining us toward feeling the same emotions and thinking the same thoughts. The way our mental past forces itself into our present gives us little room to decide for ourselves how we actually want to feel and gives little concern to whether or not our reaction comes from an objective observation of how things truly are.
It is when we begin our efforts to calm and concentrate the mind, through a practice– like a form of effective meditation, that the stories/patterns that are so firm and invisible begin to soften and come up to the surface for release. The same way we can accumulate patterns, we can also let them go. Healing is possible.
Sending love to all beings. May we all continue reclaiming our power. May we all find a tool that can really help us move forward into greater peace of mind and wisdom. May we all be happy and free. #yungpueblo
This week’s #HOMwork was to talk about something that I’ve struggled with. Maybe some of you are thinking, “But Jessie, you have flowing unicorn hair. How could you ever feel invisible?”
.
Well, there’s a bit more to it than that. You ever hear the theory that our thoughts influence our outside perceptions? Basically, our minds create our view of the world. Whatever I believe about myself will be reflected back to me in situations with other people- sort of like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
.
I believed I didn’t matter because people ignored me or talked over me anyway, and I believed there was nothing remotely remarkable about me that was worth remembering. And whenever someone ignored me, or didn’t remember me, it just confirmed what I already felt.
.
The good news is I ended up finding help, and dealing with it took away a lot of its power, which was pretty dope.
.
That’s not to say that I don’t still have moments where I feel invisible. Earlier this week I called someone out for being in my personal space, and they made a joke saying it was my fault for being there in the first place, and boy did that trigger the shit out of me. Brought me right back to believing my voice didn’t matter (because I HAD said something, though the other person completely disregarded it) or that I must be invisible because otherwise how were they so close to me without realizing? But now I have better tools to work through these moments and not set myself off in a spiral.
.
Anyway. Thanks for reading if you’ve made it this far.
.
If you want to talk a bit more about this, shoot me a DM. And if you’re curious how to ease your emotional responses to things, the woman who helped me, Susan, is actually offering an 8 week online course starting May 7- so you don’t have to be in NY for it! She gave me a link to pass onto people, and that’ll be up in my bio for a few days if you’re interested. Or shoot me a DM and we can chat
From time to time we all project in our daily lives to protect ourselves against emotions, thoughts, and perceptions that we judge as being negative. Our interactions with each other are projections of our inner reality and defense mechanisms to cope with emotions and feelings that we have trouble expressing or coming to terms with. The key is to recognize when you are engaging in projection as it is happening and face problems and disputes head on rather than becoming defensive. We can control how we respond to things we can’t control. Reacting immediately to emotional triggers can be a huge mistake- don’t. Find a healthy outlet, see the bigger picture, replace your thoughts and forgive your emotional triggers.
Far too long I’ve been numbing, distracting or avoiding my emotional triggers. But now I’m following my triggers, exploring them with compassion and curiosity. At times it can hurt but it’s where I’ve learnt the most about myself and have grown so drastically in the last couple of months.
Get ready for some uncensored raw truth. I’m no longer shrinking to accomodate anyone. Either grow with me or stay the fuck where you are.

So blessed to have you as my friend. You’re literally the only person I don’t have to fully hold back with on it all. It’s liberating. Know you can handle the truth without judging or allowing your perceptions of me to change. When you do try to open up, with just pieces to others, all it gets you are the damaged goods/broken looks that feeds into the whole vicious cycle all over again. Silence kills in more ways than one. I hate that we’ve both had to walk down this extremely hard path, but I’m glad we aren’t having to walk it entirely alone. Thank you for the kind and wise words the other day! Was just what I needed. You’re the bravest person I know. And I’m glad to call you my friend. Miss you woman! @officialdaniellemartin @trueboundaries .

when your emotional triggers cause you to binge & lash out with your food intake, you may want to consider WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON?
.
over the past few weeks, I’ve been seriously stressing. for me, this means allowing my emotional triggers to take over and acting out through binge eating. this is hard to admit. why?
.
I’m a wellness coach, I’m supposed to have this stuff under control. If i come forward about this, I’ll look less qualified to do what I’m doing... Right? Wrong! I’m still a human with emotions and flaws. LUCKILY my training & profession allows me to be hyper aware of these kinds of things. But sometimes, that’s not enough...
.
Food has always been a huge part of my life and I’ve had a big appetite since day one. I’m not saying any of that has changed. What has, though is how i cope with stress and emotions. FOOD.
.
It took a couple of weeks and taking a good hard look at myself and being honest: I’ve got to stop shoveling cashews and *healthy snacks* in my mouth when stress comes my way. You may be like: “well, at least it’s not hot Cheetos & hot dogs”. Guess what? It doesn’t matter. It’s the action that is unhealthy.
.
But here’s the real question: what’s the action/stress/emotion fueled by? What’s the WHY behind the self-abuse/self-sabotage?
.
I believe it all comes down to how we view ourselves and our worth. Are we feeling loved? Do we have enough of what we need in life? Are we satisfied? Or nah?
.
It’s taking me a little bit of time and I’m still working on digging into my why, which is really hard and requires a lot of unsugar-coated honesty... but I’ll get there.
.
I’ve also been working with conscious eating mantras & mindful practices around food over the past week, even guided meditations that help avoid binging, and they’ve helped a lot!
.
Perhaps I’m making a big deal about this but you know, it feels like a big deal to me. Peep my story for a live confession about what’s been going on with me lately.
.
So let me ask you, what’s your relationship with food like when you become emotionally triggered or stressed out? Does this resonate with you? If so, drop an emoji with your fave food to binge on in the comments below
