Take the Risk with Host Kelsey Haskins

Some days, some weeks, we go into auto pilot. The important thing is that you try to pick something good out of the day to make you want to get up the next day. It will be okay and you will get better. I promise the storm won't last for long. We will have good days, great days, bad days. terrible days. and the days we won't ever forget. Regardless, know that the good comes with the bad and we have to have a little rain if we want the sunshine and rainbow. Keep your head up and your grind on. You can do this.

Understanding your own strength is a journey. A journey that does take time but is possible. I never thought I could be strong or confident in my own skin, however, by surrounding myself with people I look up to and am inspired by, I can finally say I am strong and I am confident and I am living my purpose and I am passionate about it each and every day. It is possible to find the strength within you and to let yourself feel that strength and happiness. You have a lot more in you than you ever thought. Trust in yourself and remember that it is possible to have happiness and success and to be living the life you want. Anything is possible if you have the nerve!

People ask me everyday how I do it - how I have so much energy all the time, how I put my troubles at the door, how I choose to be loving and kind and compassionate every single day despite my struggles. I am open about my mental health and how my depression and anxiety can get very bad and how it has gotten very bad before. People know I struggle, but if a stranger walked up to me, they would have no idea I do or even that I am in that moment with them. When I tell people "how" I do it, I tell them I put it at the door. I get to see all my friends every day and sometimes twice a day. I get to train with my friends and give my friends the workout of their life AND have the chance of meeting new people every day. It's a dream come true in some eyes. I show up for myself each day and I refuse to show up for someone without showing up for me first. It's you vs you and you're the only one in the way of choosing to live in YOUR today. No one is coming to save you, so put on your big kid pants and let's start standing up for ourselves and showing up as the person we want to be. We soon will be there.

2021 was the year I hit rock bottom. I almost lost it all. I almost gave it all up. Instead of that, I turned it into good. I have worked my butt of grinding and hustling and now I am back and ready to tell you what 2021 taught me and how I will never be the same after 2021. Cheers to a new year and a new mindset of what growth truly means.

We all wish we could say something to our selves when we were 16.... if I could share some insight with my 16 year old self, I would have so much to say - so I do! But there is a twist! Fun fact is y'all, we can't go back in time but we can move forward and use those nuggets of info to propel ourselves forward taking what we wish we had done and doing what we really want to do!

Today is different! I am sharing my experience when my boyfriend deployed to Kuwait last year. How it mentally challenged me and how it also made me stronger, but more importantly how it made us feel closer than ever despite the distance and time difference! No matter what, true love is real. If it is meant to be it will. If they are meant to be in your life they won't make you wonder or worry. You'll fully trust in their love and intentions. They will care for you in a way you didn't know was possible. LET IT HAPPEN! But know that if you don't have this... if you don't have someone who is really your "person" then know it might be time to make a pros and cons list and figure out if you are going to invest more or withdraw more. Your choice. Your life. But know once you take that step towards investing hourly, daily, monthly, and annually, you have to be all in and not everything is your choice for your life - it's both of your choice for your life together! Keep going and always if you're going through long distance or a deployment I am here for you! Message me on Instagram @kelss_fitnesss and I would love to be that friend that can help you through and just be an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on!

Life isn't easy - it's uncomfortable. However, the greatest growth comes from being outside your comfort zone. Perhaps these uncomfortable feelings you are experiencing are for the better? Maybe they are preparing you to step into your next season - start writing that next chapter of your life. We are 1/4 through the year of 2021 - time to step back and reflect on what you really want out of your life!

It will always be a mind game - it doesn't matter what you do or how you do it - It just matters that you do it to the best of your ability and you don't give up! Push yourself and know that you are capable of anything. You are incredibly strong - stronger than ever before. You can do this! If it doesn't matter in ten years, you shouldn't spend 10 minutes thinking about it., nevertheless OVERTHINKING about it... Mind over matter - YOUR BODY ACHIEVES WHAT THE MIND BELIEVES!Also - FYI you made it to the end of another week! You're amazing!

Happy Tuesday my Dudes! Today is about remembering your belief is key to success! When you believe in yourself you gain the courage to achieve what most won't - making your courage greater than your fear. You won't be afraid of anything when you have built up self belief, confidence, courage, and discipline. We all have a choice to create the futures we deserve and desire, but only those who put in the work will reap the rewards. Brought to you by my love for the movie; "A Cinderella Story" and my favorite 2 quotes from the movie: Never Let the Fear of Striking out Keep you From Playing the Game. Anything is Possible if you Just Believe.
