Vibe Check with Mackie Mackie Trumbull

Hey Loves! 

I have added some tips in this description so you can sit down and figure out your safe/happy place for those moments that seem to be overbearing! 

1. What do you see?

2. What do you feel?

3. What do you smell?

4. What do you hear? 

As you're writing these down as you are creating your safe/happy place, they don't need to be overthought or in so much detail, because then you are defeating the purpose of this little exercise. It's not the fact that if it's "good enough" for anyone else, or it "should be" this or that; allow whatever your body and mentality come up with thrive into a feeling of being safe. It could be sitting on the couch with your favorite blanket, or maybe you're in your car listening to your favorite song, whatever/wherever it is, this only has to be able to affect you and only you; so try to make it as personal as you need it to be. 

As much as we can physically find something to do whether it be going to the gym, taking a bath, or just laying on the floor with your fur baby, it is extremely important to be able to mentally have a safe place as well. 

Hope you have a beautiful rest of your week!

I know this is not usually what I focus this podcast over, but considering I am a personal trainer and I express a lot about mental health, I thought it would be nice to share a couple of gym tips. We all suffer from a degree of anxiety whenever starting off at the gym, whether we are brand new to working out or we just started a new gym in a new area, whatever the case may be, I know that you are capable of overcoming challenging things, so this won't be any different than what some of you have already gone through. 

I hope these tips will help you overcome the rabbit hole in your head, and allow you to thrive through the anxiety of the gym! 

Much love! 

This is usually not how I do things, but life has been heavy and I wanted to share with you some things that are misconstrued. I am human just like you, although I might sound like I have it all together, I am far from that. I hope you realize how amazing you are today and have a kick ass weekend!!

Hey love, 

With today's world being so hectic and so fast, we can get caught up in society's bullshit that we forget that we are so blessed. There are little tips in this that can lead you to the right direction back to fulfilling whole and complete within our own skin. You need to remember that you, yourself, need to apply them to your life. Little habits to take a hold of so you can live your life to the best of your ability!

Much love! 

**We are gonna be talking about a very sensitive topic in this episode, please understand this podcast cannot physically hurt you, and with me, you are in a safe place** 

I know you are exhausted. I know things don't seem like they are getting any better, especially with the situation you are in. But I do want to let you know something, I am beyond proud that you are still here! Despite all of the BS you have thrived through, you are here. YOU did that for yourself, and that is insanely impressive.

Tips for thriving: 

1. Be honest with yourself. Decide that you are not okay, BUT want to become better. 

2. Take about 5-10 minutes a day to sit with your thoughts to genuinely feel them, and accept them for what they are. 

3. Journal. Write down those thoughts and how you feel about them; do you want to become better? That question should be something you ask yourself after every "hiccup" you go through. 

4. Figuring out your resources; therapy, podcasts, books, the internet, etc. Study a new way of thinking, a new way of doing things. Invest in yourself to become knowledgable about how to better yourself. Really put in the time and energy yourself deserves. Surround yourself with positive impacts.

5. Go do the things your mind is holding you back from. Take that leap of faith and go do things by yourself; whether that means starting to workout at a gym, going to eat by yourself, traveling to somewhere new, start going to church or as simple as taking a moment to meditate. You're in charge of how you react to the emotions that come along, take charge and tell your brain to fuck off, and go do something to better yourself. 

6. Lastly, start living for other people; volunteer, become more kind or compassionate, go hang out with your grandma/grandpa see if they need help with anything. Start to get into the mindset of the person you needed, or hell, your younger self needed.
