Fellow fitness professional Mike “Crank Training Specialist” Whitfield dubbed this clever term  titled above, for me, for all my short, inspirational, straight-talk writings.

Someday, when I put out a book with all of them (there are a LOT), I think “Jeannine-ism’s” will be the title.

Here are some of my recent favorites.


Big phew!

You’re not perfect?

Well, that’s a relief!

How boring would THAT be?

Imperfections are a part of the perfection process.

Embrace how they make you and your process

differ from everyone else’s.

Happiness (y)earns

Happiness takes work

It requires saying no to some things,

even when the immediate urge is to say yes

It requires less self absorption, and keener self study

Knowing what makes you tick, what sets you off,

why you do the things you do,

or why you react to things in such a way

It’s about accepting where you are,

and knowing how you got there.

It’s about letting go of the sense of needing

(everything you need already exists)

It requires some hard some hard-to-make, short term investments,

and sacrifice,

to get to the longer term, less fluctuating, ups-and-downs

The here

The now

The real

Stripped down to the core.

To your truest essence

Till there is nothing there but you

The real you

And happy

~jeannine trimboli



So long as you complain

about where you are at,

but don’t act,

you are stuck.

Own where you are.
