It’s hard to know what to give to the people who matter most. I have a few ideas for holiday gifts that the girlbosses in your life will appreciate! Girlbosses are motivated, determined, and inspired toward success. Give them a thoughtful gift this holiday season by giving them tools to fuel their journey toward success. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b id="docs-internal-guid-c8899b04-6e98-6b44-71fd-0e6446a65489" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you think about the girlbosses in your life, you know that they are busy, active people who are hustling toward success. How can you help them reach their goals? Here’s how to do it and what gifts can help:</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Coffee Thermos</b></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A great holiday gift is a cute coffee thermos. All girlbosses need their coffees and tea on-the-go! We’re running in between responsibilities and trying to stay energized! Thermoses with a quote that inspires are even better. You can make a custom Thermos online to add a personal touch for added thoughtfulness. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Frames</b></span></span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.38;"><span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Other perfect holiday gifts for girl bosses are framed inspirational quotes.

Girlbosses need to take the time to relax. It is hard to make time for yourself when you have so many responsibilities! Giving the girlbosses in your life a spa day will show that you understand how hard they work and that you care about their health and well-being. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Gym Apparel</b></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A girlboss can never have too many gym clothes.

Choose a Healthy Lifestyle, Not a Diet

Smarter lifestyle choices can help promote improved mental, emotional, physical, and social health. Leading a healthy lifestyle is not solely about the physical appearance; it’s about treating your body well and living a full, rich life in every way! Making smart choices for your well-being is not a diet. If you’re looking for a happier, healthier life, don’t diet to lose weight. Refine your lifestyle. Live a healthy one.</span></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are many benefits to choosing a healthy lifestyle rather than a diet. Here’s a list to motivate you to make that lifestyle change and take care of yourself for the long term.</span><br /> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </b> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mental Clarity</b><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the first things you’ll notice when you start to make healthier choices is your mental clarity. Treat yourself to nutrient dense food and regular exercise, and your brain will show you the benefits. You will be calmer, yet mentally energized to handle tasks and daily responsibilities. A poorly-executed diet doesn’t do that. In fact, many diets can harm your mental clarity. Too often, diets are about cutting calories. They don’t consider the nutritional benefits of a proper amount of healthy food. Drastically cutting calories can make the body feel sluggish and make the brain slow in response. </span></span></div><b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </b> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nutritious Food</b><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When working toward a healthy lifestyle, the hardest part for most people is easing the cravings of junk food. While getting rid of junk food is challenging, it does get easier with time. Your body craves sugar when it is consistently rewarded with it. Once you can cut out unhealthy habits, you will have less physical cravings for those unhealthy foods. </span></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">A short-term diet can cause greater weight fluctuation because people are more likely to binge eat after reaching the end of their diet. This forms bad habits again and makes it harder to make healthier choices in the future.</span><br /> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </b> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Energy, Mood, Confidence</b><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A healthy lifestyle will improve your energy levels, your mood, and your confidence. Once the toxic, sugary food leaves your system, you will feel like a new person! Feeding your body the nutrients it needs through nutritious and fresh food will lead to naturally healthier choices because your body won’t crave junk food. Without these cravings, your moods will be more stable, and by implementing exercise a few times each week, you will have naturally higher levels of serotonin, which is a mood booster! </span></span></div><b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </b> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Longer Life</b><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taking care of your body will help you live a longer, healthier, happier life.

I went from a mom stressed and tired always finding myself in the SAME situation, flat broke after my bills we paid! Now, fast-foward & I know EXACTLY what I want in life, and have seen many of my dreams become my reality, I never have to worry about money, and BEST OF ALL... I get to help others make those same changes in their lives! BLESSED!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">.<br /> I wanted to share<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> my 5 RULES to attaining business success:<br /> .<br /> #1 RULE - Don't let anyone determine what you are capable of... because I know plenty of people who didn't believe in me... or Beachbody... but the only belief I needed to be successful in this was MY OWN!<br /> .<br /> #2 RULE - CONSTANTLY look for ways to serve in the lives of others (without looking for something in return!) Every job should be looked at as a SERVICE job... no matter if you are an accountant, postman, coach, or server... Give people the BEST of you... no matter WHAT you do!<br /> .<br /> # 3 RULE - Stretch yourself beyond what you think you are capable of every single day! If you are not uncomfortable at least 5 times a day then there is a good chance you are not growing in the direction of your dreams! You HAVE TO be willing to do the little things you DON'T WANT to do in the short-term... to get to the BIG things you DO WANT to do in the long-term.<br /> .<br /> # 4 RULE - Add VALUE to people's life... Leave everyone better for having known you... Listen to them without thinking about what YOU are going to say next, really take in the emotion in their words and respond with thoughtfulness! This alone sets you apart from the pack!<br /> .<br /> # 5 RULE - Work on YOUR OWN problems and issues first, before you try changing others... *This was a BIG turning point in MY life* So many of us spend our time picking apart others, pointing out how easy it would be for them to turn their life around... but do NOTHING about changing our own! You want to help others change? Start living up to the potential in YOUR OWN LIFE! You cannot make someone change, but you can INSPIRE them to seek their own light... by shinning YOURS!<br /> .<br /> Just as a candle can light another candle without losing any of its own light... You can ignite passion in thousands without ever having to DIM your own light. So BURN BRIGHTLY, unashamed of your God given glory... Because you never know HOW MANY candles there are out there just waiting to be LIT by YOU!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3kZbTiiCwZKXshq0-iDHTQcPzWDJ_YUT7NTIDyUoPIWG55_4hZR5-eYqpxuWKqz8C9q2q3L1AS9y5PWWsB44OqZILxb6lWr9Nn9izIy9JSq6c7FiCx01d7cm-KGME69Dvr1sqccztSerl/s1600/Screen+Shot+2015-12-03+at+10.28.44+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="beachbody, girlboss, value, business success, shine, light, dreams, 5 Rules, Alyssa schomaker, Beachbody top coach, shine, blessed, belief, successful, " border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3kZbTiiCwZKXshq0-iDHTQcPzWDJ_YUT7NTIDyUoPIWG55_4hZR5-eYqpxuWKqz8C9q2q3L1AS9y5PWWsB44OqZILxb6lWr9Nn9izIy9JSq6c7FiCx01d7cm-KGME69Dvr1sqccztSerl/s400/Screen+Shot+2015-12-03+at+10.28.44+AM.png" title="" width="292" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /> </span></div>

Beneath my flawless skin, I still had a lot of invisible scars.<br /><br />There were often moments when I had to conceal my emotional pain from the constant judgment coming from the industry. For example, people would tell me: “Your chest is nice and big." "Tell your clients you have magic boobs and can fit every bra size at the casting." "Your hair color is ‘mousey,’ let’s change the color.” And so on, and so on…<br /><br />In reality, this is just the surface level of judgment that models endure in order to to pursue, in some cases, their childhood dream. My childhood dreams were to become a grocery store checkout lady, a railroad conductor, a veterinarian and then a country music singer. But a model? I didn't even know that career existed. I was so unaware of the idea of selling sexuality, in a way that every child should be.<br /><br />And then, I got to high school. I got my first fashion magazine from the grocery store checkout line (how ironic), went home, and sat down on my broken-in family room sofa and started turning the pages of a new chapter of my life.<br /><br />This chapter would be an unhealthy self-awareness. Where are my hip bones? Why is my stomach soft? All of the sudden, I was not like, "them” — the models in the magazines. I was no longer aspiring to be a railroad conductor or a veterinarian. I aspired to be like the girls in the magazines. Beautiful. Sexy. Perfect.<br /><br />So began my journey of eating disorders, diets, and body shaming — for 10 years. And though most people said and even I still say, “you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else,” I was so lost on how to love myself, if I didn’t look exactly like the girls in the magazines.<br /><br />Through therapy and years of invisible scarring, I was able to put together an acronym, "SNAP," that actually worked. The idea of the acronym came from a time where I had to learn how to get over the nervous feeling I had before a big show, casting, or meeting. Most of the time, when I was uncertain of something, I was consumed with the feeling of nervousness and self-doubt, until I read an article that really struck me.<br /><br />The article said, when you’re nervous about something — a job interview, a big meeting, speaking in public or anything else — allow yourself to feel the nervousness before the actual event. Once you feel nervous, there’s no need to cling to the emotion anymore and carry it around with you. Drop it like a bad habit and find comfort in knowing you’ve already felt nervous, and now it’s time to feel strong.<br /><br />This example of fully allowing myself to feel the emotion, dropping the feeling and then quickly getting on with my life was in one word: awesome.<br /><br />For example, if I felt fat, I would embrace what it feels like to feel heavier. In my mind I pictured myself wearing jeans that were too tight and cutting off my breath, and sometimes I would picture my insecurity. As soon as I felt that, I had soaked the emotion in like a sponge, I would quickly turn around and wring out that full sponge of self-doubt. I would empty the feeling of insecurity and discomfort and just leave my mind free to pursue the journey that I was proud of: becoming a role model that inspires kindness.<br /><br />So here it is, my simple SNAP routine to help you give your amazing self all the love that you deserve:<br /><br />Surround yourself with supportive people that love you.<br /><br />Notice how badly you feel in moments of doubt and self-sabotage.<br /><br />Allow yourself to feel the emotion for a moment and then immediately let go of it.<br /><br />Persevere in your journey of self-love.<br /><br />The next time you start to judge yourself, find comfort in knowing that you can most definitely change your thoughts in a SNAP. Write it down and carry it in your wallet. No one will know what SNAP means, so don’t worry — it’s a personal reminder that you’re allowed to feel a certain way, and you’re also allowed to be freed from those feelings. Now SNAP to it!
