At some point in our lives, most of us have been faced with the challenge of saying no to someone. Whether it's a family member, friend, coworker or neighbor, there are always people who want us to do things that we may not have the time or energy for. And while it's important to be supportive of others, sometimes we need to put our own wellbeing first. Too often, women especially, tend to put everyone else's needs before their own. We want to make sure that everyone else is happy and well-taken care of, but in the process we forget about our own happiness and wellbeing. This can lead to stress, burnout and even resentment. If you find yourself in this situation, it's important to take a step back and reassess your priorities. Remember that you are worth taking care of too. Your health and happiness should be your top priority. If you're constantly putting others before yourself, it's time to start making some changes. Start saying no to things that you don't want to do. Make time for yourself and do things that make you happy. Put your wellbeing first and watch as your life starts to change for the better.

Good friendships with great connections will extend your life. Ever heard of “Blue Zones”? They’re regions of the world where people have higher life expectancies. Those areas have shown us that people who are socially active live longer. (Probably not much of a surprise!) Optimism also plays a huge role! ***Yep - here’s a shameless plug for my FREE challenge group, starting soon, because it checks both boxes! *** At the very least, take a few moments to think of and share 3 things you’re currently thankful for. #positivevibes If you feel you’re lacking in healthy social connections, drop me a DM and let’s get you in my group! . . . . . #positiveaffirmations #positiveenergy #positivethinking #grateful #wellness #blackwellness #blackinfluencers #blackbloggers #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlswhoblog #blackwomenworkout #blackwomenwhoblog #momsofinstagram #momswhoblog #htx #tx #influncer #womenover40 #blackwomenover40 #marriedlife #boymom #boymomma #behappy #flawsandall #sundayvibes #readyforspring #readyforsummer #shortshorts #eatclean (at Houston Baby!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcK8GMyOXio/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

(Mini Blog post via Instagram) My Auntie Marie (RIP) said "... Your hair is striking and stark at the same time. I don't know if many men will like it." . . . These were her words when I first started growing out my #mohawk. She didn't ask me why. She just said her peace and moved on. And with most things I looked at her with my big brown eyes and under my breath said "mmmmm, hmmmm" and kept it moving. . . . The inspiration for my Mohawk is an Afro-Carribbean woman in her 40's, I met briefly met whilst I was in my late 20's living in #Manhattan. I was so awe struck with her beauty, how bold her hair was and how it was an act of defiance to Black Respectability politics, white supremacy, and the European aesthetics. I remember telling her how beautiful she was and how she inspired me with her fabulous look. . . . I remember telling her that when I am ready, perhaps when I have lived a little and been through some things... I will grow a mohawk and be free like you. She told me to do it then but I leaned down and whispered, "I am not strong enough yet. I still care what society thinks of me to my own detriment." That was a startling thing to admit to a person I had just met and I had tears in my eyes when I said it. She just smiled and said "... You will be beautiful when you do grow it out. I am sure of it....". . . . Now at age 46yrs old, I have had my mohawk since 2014 / 2015. It's been two versions and I think this abridged, stark, rebellious and sometimes bantu-knoted version is for keeps. . . . I have lived through some things, I am much stronger and I don't get a fuck about what anyone thinks of me but me. And that's my version of #freedom as a Black American woman. . . . . . . #MommyFab #FabWorld #Time #Life #BlackAmericanMom #BlackWomen #Over40 #GenX #NerMom #BlackWomenOver40 #MiddleAge #Life #Reality #SelfCare #SarcoidosisWarrior #AutoImmune #RealLife #Thoughts #Over40Blogger #BlackBloggerMom #mohawkmadness #BlackWomenAndBeauty #BlackHair https://ift.tt/2nhPjyE

What affects your face… Your whole personality… Even the brightness of your eyes…? I used to think cutting back on calories and just killing myself with workouts would fix everything, but honestly it didn’t. (And I was hangry. NO way to live, sista.) You’re literally wasting your time if your gut is out of balance. I don’t want that for you. Big time. Don’t be like me and ignore it! . . . . . #guthealth #guthealthmatters #healthyguthealthyyou #blackwellness #blackwellnessbloggers #womenover40 #blackwomenover40 #blackinfluencers #blacktrainers #blackcoaches #beachbody #htx #hbcu #hbcugrad #pvamu #momlife #boymom #thisis40something #blackwomendoworkout #readyforspring #readyforsummer #workout #eatclean #flawsandall #followyourdreams #startingover #vegan #blackvegan #smilemore #shebadd (at Houston Baby!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbrwdXCOwvS/?utm_medium=tumblr

The idea of being healthy or reaching your goals can be extremely overwhelming…heck, at least for me, to be honest. You convince yourself that there is too much to learn and it is way too confusing. And in full honesty, it can be… But, simply knowing where to start is honestly half the battle, which is why I am obsessed with doing what I’m doing- simplifying it for you so you don’t keep putting it off or getting frustrated! Lemme know - and be honest - if you’ve ever thought this. Cuz I did and I want to help! . . . . . #nutrition #nutritioncoach #blackwellness #guthealth #blackbloggers #blackinfluencers #blackwellnessbloggers #mondaymotivation #workout #eatclean #followyourdreams #startingover #thisis40something #blackwomenover40 #womenover40 #getoutside #getoutofyourcomfortzone #knowingishalfthebattle #htx #htxblogger #beachbody #healthyguthealthyyou #readyforspring #readyforsummer #beatthebloat #blackwomenmatter #blackmoms #blackwives #vegan #blackvegan (at Houston Baby!) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbp_t_uOlF9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reminder: Tomorrow is the start of another week of opportunities for greatness…make it count!💋 5 TIPS TO MAKE THIS A GREAT WEEK… 1. Set yourself some goals on a Sunday (but Monday is ok) I like to write down my goals in my notes under 7 headings which are each day of the week. I call this ’selecting & scheduling’ basically taking your goals and scheduling a time to do them. 2. Be disciplined. Setting goals is easy, seeing them through is the tough part. 3. Be organised. Have your outfits (work uniform, gym attire etc) washed, iron, laid out, ready for the week ahead. Have your food prepped or set out for each day. 4. Don't open text messages from people at times when you can not respond immediately. Leave them unread, it's a fantastic reminder each time you open your phone that you need to attend to messages before opening your social media apps. 5. Work on gratitude and being positive. Every time you go to the bathroom, or take a sip of water or open up social media... Do 1 positive thing for someone else & say 1 positive thing to yourself. I would love to know what tips you have that we could all implement into our Sunday routines?

I used to think eating way less would lead to more weight/fat loss.🤷🏾‍♀️ . I'd cut my calories (cause we need a deficit right!) and keep going lower and lower until I plateaued. Have you ever done that? With age, understanding and applied knowledge, comes wisdom! I NOW know that plateaus happen and that's when it's time to adjust either your food, workouts or intensity, etc. Our body thrives on food..ok! You CAN lose weight by fasting or reducing the amount of food you eat...however, your body will quickly adapt to the changes and your metabolism will slow down. Eat more good whole foods to lose more! What do you consider whole foods? 👉🏾If you need help with your nutrition and/or accountability, click the link in my bio or DM me so you can set up a consultation to review your goals and i can give some suggestions to help you crush them! #fatlosstips #fitfam #fitspo #inspiration #transformation #healthyhappy #healthyeating #fitfoodie #eatrealfood #offseason #ifbbpro #npc #transformation #starknakednutrition #momswholift #realmomseatmoretogetfit #blackwomenover40 #lookbetterstarknaked https://www.instagram.com/p/CFt7nV5jF-t/?igshid=19wt181ii9qw

Missed a workout? . Binged on your favorite comfort food last weekend? . . Been skipping your workouts because of life pop ups? Spilled coffee on your dress?⁣ ⁣. Doesn't matter what happened then - what matters most is what you do next.⁣ ⁣ Most people justify their past slip-ups as the excuse for their next one. I don't. Anymore Have you ever done this? ⁣. The 1 & 5% don't let one set back turn into two. We don't let "losing streaks" get started.⁣ ⁣ Focus on what you control: attitude, effort, & actions. And get your winning streak rolling again.⁣ Just got back on track after the slip ups instead of the ALL OR NOTHING mentality. . #fitspo #fitfam #weightlosshelp #weightlosstips #howtoloseweightfast #busyfitmoms #workingfitmoms #workingfitwomen #fitwomenrock #fitmomsover40 #momswholift #lift4him #trusttheprocess #blackwomenover40 #blackfitnessnow #sundaymealprep #feliciastarksfitness #lookbetterstarknaked https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrXLWHDqRg/?igshid=1qyx4w3wc3jmz

How are you interested or "committed", yet you're still inconsistent? . . Apply it to a relationship, your eating habits, your fitness journey, your business, your life, etc..... . . It's not lining up 🥴👎🏽 . . Don't expect greatness, success, results, respect, etc....when you're inconsistent. . #fitspo #fitfam #fitnesslifestyle #fitmoms #blackfitnessnow #blackwomenover40 #fatlosscoach #weightlosscoach #weightlossmotivation https://www.instagram.com/p/CFj_9ntjMq1/?igshid=14xy9jqwjjy14
