Today we live in a society and a community where there is no help or support when it comes to self-care. Growing up I had to take on a lot of the work load of my parents because of their divorce. That put me into adult-hood early. Because of that my life was difficult. I had to be mature, responsible, accountable and know when and how to take ownership over people, place, things, and ideas that I didn’t yet have a full function concept comprehension of. Let’s Say that having to be an adult before you knew what an adult was was complicated. However, I continued to fight and became the man that you see today. In present time. I am no focused on bettering my business and personal life. That goal alone is a hyperfocus on the habits, skills, and skill sets necessary too manifest, cultivate, and maintain my honest, transparent, and authentic self. Not all day’s are perfect. I have many good, bad, ugly, and worst days. However, it’s about respecting the discipline and respecting the process to manifest, cultivate, and maintain the discipline. I’m telling you this today because yesterday. It wasn’t an easy day. Yesterday, I was fighting with myself in just about every which way imaginable and I was about to crack. I had take time off from work to bring myself together. My feelings, emotions, thoughts, words, actions, heart, mind, body, soul, spirt, and self is exhausted. However, I can’t and won’t quit on what I have to do for myself. I can slow down and stop and go the right and correct direction. However, I can never quit. I’m letting anyone who wants to know. Trust the process! Respect the Process! Honor yourself and those who honor you! And It’s okay to give yourself permission to break cycles that are no longer serving you!
🌱 LeefitFitness Guide: Respect the Process, Trust Yourself, Break Cycles
Welcome to LeefitFitness — leefitfitness.com, where growth, healing, and self-mastery meet. Use this guide as your roadmap for building discipline, nurturing your inner self, and creating a life of authenticity.
1. Acknowledge Your Reality with Gratitude
- Embrace your past — the responsibilities, hardships, and early maturation.
- Gratitude doesn’t erase struggle — it honors your resilience.
- Positivity: Challenges were training ground for strength.
- Prayer: “Ya Allah, help me see the wisdom hidden in my trials and guide my steps toward healing.”
- Affirmation: “I’m grateful for my journey. I grow stronger every day.”
👉 Prompt: Write one past hardship and three lessons it taught you.
2. Give Yourself Permission to Slow Down (Not Quit)
- Some days will feel like survival mode. Slowing down is not giving up — it’s recalibrating.
- Positivity: Pauses are resets, not failures.
- Prayer: “O Allah, grant me patience in rest and clarity for each next step.”
- Affirmation: “I may pause. I will not quit. I press forward with grace.”
👉 Prompt: On days you feel stuck, write a 2–3 sentence self-encouragement message to yourself.

- Positivity: Every part of you deserves love and healing.
- Prayer: “Ya Allah, align my heart, mind, body, soul, and purpose with Your mercy.”
