They say “ Alone you go faster, together you go further “, I believe “ Together we go faster and further”, when you have the right people near you.

Tough but great work partner Justyna Rouchard Zieminska .

We ask ourselves why we do this , but then we say, until the next one. 🤭💪

Proud of our team.

Euro Striders 🏃‍♀️💪

New beginnings.

New achievements.

New and scary steps.

Dreams coming true.

Real people supporting it.

Can’t thank enough to God and everyone that comes on my way that pushed me to go further. Even the ones that told me I shouldn’t or couldn’t because I wanted to prove myself I would and I could.

17 years of work. Endless experiences. Endless learning opportunities and investment on knowledge. Huge amount of time invested. Huge amount of things that I compromised to be where I’m .

Not better than anyone else, just better today than I was before. That’s why I have no competition. Only myself from the past. ❤️🌻

Thank you so much to all my students. To every student that has believed in me and attended my classes.

The special people in my life are so special that are not even on here. But to them specially. 💞

My top 5 rules to be happy 😃

💚 Decide you want to be happy

💚 Don’t give a SH*T about people’s opinions (it has nothing to do with you)

💚 Listen to your intuition, it’s always right

💚 Contact with Nature, the more the better

💚 Pray, meditate and be grateful. Always.

The rest, you work for it. The right people will come to you. The ones that are not aligned with you will pull out. Let life flow naturally. Trust the process. Have dreams and work for your goals but leave space for Gods plans because they are 1000 better than your own. 💚

Simple? Yes. Easy? Damm No.

But very worthy 💚

This post is NOT about pity ❌

It’s about LOVE ❤️‍🔥

It’s about doing your part and letting life do his.

6 years ago I was going through the toughest phase of my life, I was about to letting go my daughter go back to Portugal. Not because I wished, not because I wanted but bcz I knew it was the best decision.

In 3 months like many people worldwide I had no job, I had no money, since I was the main source of income for my family, my health wasn’t the best, suffering still from my back issues I had lost my sponsor and the opportunity to sponsor my daughter BUT I had one thing, just one thing that kept me going FAITH.

I only had that. Everyone else was against me. Everyone told me I was a selfish mother, what kind of mother let her daughter go back home and she stays. That money is not everything in life.

I let them talk. My family. Most of people was against me. Except God. I knew deep down what I was doing. I had FAITH. I kept working. I kept having one session after another session. One client after another client. I didn’t live, I survived during 4 years. I started feeling better after. Less guilty , more health, more freedom, more work, more business. 🙏

What I’m trying to say? Whenever you see someone doing well, be sure there is a LOT of struggle , a lot of sleepless nights , a lot of heavy nights, crying on the pillow, doubting herself even tough she knows, but sometimes she doesn’t.

When you do your part, when you keep working on yourself, leave for God what belongs to him, which is the TIME, keep learning, keep improving yourself, keep investing on yourself, you will be rewarded.

Today I remember the heaviness I felt when I drove my daughter to the airport. Today, 6 years after. I honor my story and I’m very proud of not following what other people thought was best for me.

Be you. Do you. Follow your heart.

God will be with you if you trust him and you do it from the right intentions 💙

6 years. Building my own business. Having the best daughter I could ask for. Having the best relationship with my Mom. Having loving friends. Love in the heart. Health. Safety. Faith. 🙏

If you’re going through a tough time, it will pass. Hang on 🙏

Life is so Beautiful 🥰

When shared with the right people

When filled with integrity

When filled with inner love and respect for yourself , people around you and Nature

When you can see the beauty within yourself even with flaws

When you fall in love for yourself

When you fall in love for life itself

When you appreciate the challenges, the hardships and the heartbreak because it made you stronger and taught lessons that books can’t

When you rise above your fears

When you keep working on yourself

When you keep challenging yourself

When you open yourself to receive back everything you give away

Life is beautiful not because everything is perfect, but because everything is needed to step up and to rise above the limits that one day you set for you…

Keep breaking them

Out of love,

Raquel

If you feel that many people doubt you, or even nobody really supports or believes in you, remember, that has nothing to do with you. Just make sure you’re not another one.

Most people don’t believe in themselves. Why should they believe in you?!

Just make sure you’re not part of this statistics. 😬

The hardest part of a human being is living a life they are proud of, taking away anyone’s expectations of what it should be.

Your life.
Your dreams.
Your rules.
A very quick passage here on Earth.
Make sure you’re proud of what you’re doing and how you’re living it. 💚

How to stay in shape without counting calories, during holidays ?

Funny enough when I used to count my calories, in and out, was when I had the least good relationship with my body and I had more body weight fluctuations. During years I developed an eating disorder by keeping counting calories and dieting on/ off all the time.

When I stopped doing it my body responded and my body weight started being more stable.

So those are my rules :

1️⃣ Eat when you’re hungry (simple but not easy)
2️⃣ Eat slowly and consciously (spend at least 20 min on each meal)
3️⃣ Eat what you want, not what it’s written on diet charts (stop diets )
4️⃣ Stop eating when you’re satisfied

Those are my rules, they are very simple, but not easy because most people are completely disconnected from their bodies, they don’t know what physical hunger is, they can’t slowdown and eat slowly coz they do everything on a rush, they follow diet charts and others peoples diets and they don’t listen do their body signals in terms of stopping eating (coz someone told them they should finish their food because people are starving to death).

Those are my rules and it works with em and my students, they are also available and well explained inside reshape. Download your app now and make your body work for you and not against you.

By the way, holidays are to be enjoyed but it doesn’t mean there are no rules, it means you enjoy it without overdoing. 🤭

Did you know that?

Save and share with someone.
