happiness a short clip, by yours truly with love, Em... #happiness sound on

I’m not on social media much these days, I’m actually avoiding it, even my business accounts I’m hiking without posting a shot to my stories, working out without showing a sweaty selfie, eating good without sharing the pics, having no-device dinners, no screen time hours, reading, drawing, playing with blu outside ... all without sharing a single thing and it actually feels GREAT Sometimes I forget where I’ve even left my phone ... When I come on here these days I can’t help but feel like everyone’s trying to: 1. Change something about me - get me to be a better version of myself be more productive do more with my time 2. Sell me something - there’s always a code, a discount, a program, a deal you can’t miss out on 3. Sell me something to change something about myself ... I genuinely don’t feel any better after I log off I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with marketing on social media, I did/do it for Ocean Blue too! I’m just living life a little differently these days, a little less for others and a little more for myself I’m trying to go back to the time when we just lived, and did, without the constant need to be seen and heard by everyone I have NO idea what’s in store for Ocean Blue, or myself ... but I DO know I won’t find the answers or feel any better by worrying about how to beat the Instagram algorithm or posting daily to not lose followers or trying to gain more likes or more people on my feed I’m looking forward to connecting in person with everyone again when we’re allowed, but for now, I encourage you to stop living through your device for others, and start living a little more, off screen, just for yourself xo, Em

Hey Everyone! In regards to the lockdown taking place I’ve decided the safest thing for us all right now is for me to put all my remaining sessions this week on hold until we are allowed to re-open in the new year. Any & all sessions purchased will be honoured when I’m given clearance to do so. We’ve done this before, we can do it again!... Here to talk if anyone has any questions or concerns 226-456-1022 Happy Holidays everyone I’ll miss y’all, but it won’t be long, xo

Somehow (hard work & amazing support) we managed to actually G R O W in 2020 ... So much so that I’ve decided we’re going into 2021 with a new action plan (no matter what the year has in store for us) Honestly, I’ve been stumbling my way through it all since day 1, no business experience, learning as I go, never expecting things would expand as fast as they have, (again somehow) miraculously creating the beautiful and thriving studio Ocean Blue Fitness is today... With growth comes tough decisions, but as @glennondoyle says, We Can Do Hard Things - so here I am Glennon, hope you’re proud The 2021 Growth Action Plan is as outlined in the picture More information to come soon regarding specifics on pricing, hours, & services offered, beginning Jan 2021 *if permitting Thank you for your continued support and understanding as I grow & learn

Posted @withregram @mattzhaig I feel a mess. But not too unhappy about it.

I want my radical self acceptance to challenge you. I want my unapologetic self-love to be provocative. I want my emotional nudity to inspire self liberation.... If temporary discomfort leads you to embark on a courageous, loving journey back to self, let me be the thing that quietly reminds you to do so. My actions are intentional. May they create a heart stir or a vibrating peace. My goal is to make you feel. #LiveIntentionally

I mean ... come on ... Starting to call these Blu Breaks If you’re lucky enough you just might get one during your next session ... #StudioDog #BluBreaks

Problem is these are all opinions or suggestions from OTHER people who most likely have no idea what they’re talking about & more importantly who they’re talking to Once you realize these opinions aren’t actually in YOUR best interest you can learn to silence the noise Turn your attention to professionals who resonate and align with your soul... Believe it or not there are SO many of us out there who actually genuinely care about YOU and want to save you from the deep dark rabbit hole of the fitness industry & diet culture Let us silence those voices for you and show you a new way that focuses on lifting you up rather than bringing you down #MoveToFeelAlive #RealPeople #RealFitness

Kaite (aka @happy_healthygurl) is a longtime friend of mine and still a total sweetheart She’s one of the busiest hustlers I know - a total Go Getter - so naturally she just released a self published book along with the million other things she’s got going on with the Happy Healthy Girl Brand I have some copies available for purchase in the studio along with some cute HHG merch ... I love supporting local, I love supporting friends and I love supporting women entrepreneurs - so I will continue to do so as long as I am able #WomenSupportingWomen #StudioTreats

This will trigger the ‘IIFYM’ crew, (people who believe in calories in/calories out) ... oops, ah well you need to hear it Posted @withregram @dietitiananna Fact.... You can be an active person and not have defined musculature. You can be very fit and not have visible abdominal muscles. You can make physical activity a regular part of your life, and you may still live in a body that society deems as less than. You can lift heavy weights or run regularly or any of the things - and live in a fat body. And the value of physical activity is real and protective regardless of appearance. Fact. You can eat trendy foods. You can eat greens. You can eat or drink fermented things. You can eat fresh food. You can eat in a way that would be largely described as healthy. (I have a very hard time with the description of ‘healthy’ being used around the human diet. In my box, health is all about balance. Nutritious foods matter. Delicious foods matter. But, I digress.) You can eat a diet that is rich in fiber and phytonutrients and omega three fatty acids. And your body will look the way that it is designed to look. Suggesting that food choice can change aesthetic in isolation is not an accurate statement, if we are not considering socioeconomic status FIRST. Eat your acai bowls if you’d like. Chomp on kale if it pleases. Eat your cauliflower pizza crust if that’s desirable. And know that in the process of feeding yourself in a way that may ostensibly be identified as healthy, your body might not change. The biggest fact of all: if your motivation for physical activity and eating is about physical change, most will be disappointed with the results. Most of the described results are about genetics, anyway. Eating in a way that is healthful and moving your body regularly, if you’re able to, it’s great. And it’s also your choice whether or not you want to prioritize these things. You owe your health and your self-care choices to no one. Fact: Food is awesome. Movement is a privilege. Focusing on aesthetic is a set up for feeling like shit and moving away from self care practices. Don’t.

Ever notice you just peace sign your way through life? Cuz same ... how do we stop ... #Peace

If you are uncomfortable - in deep pain, angry, yearning, confused - you don’t have a problem, you have a life. Being human is not hard because you’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because you’re doing it right. You will never change the fact that being human is hard, so you must change the idea that it was ever supposed to be easy.... @glennondoyle

If you feel like you can’t function at full capacity right now, there are very good reasons why. Inspired by my dear friend Amy, whose conversation with me on this topic made me say Ohhhhhh. I guess I should stop beating myself up, then. (I haven’t, but I am trying.)
