So the last time I wrote I was doing a weekly "weight-in". Clearly you can I see I didn't keep up with those posts as it's been over 6 months since I last wrote on here. I've got some goals though that I feel I can accomplish by being more vigilant with updating this blog.
Have you ever tried to become healthier?
Have you ever wanted to be able do something physically you couldn't do presently?
Have you every wanted to lose weight?
Have you ever compared yourself to someone else?
Have you ever wished you were skinnier or prettier?
Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and listed off all the things you hate?
Have you ever missed a workout?
Have you ever over eaten?
Have you ever wanted a quick fix to a fit and healthy life?
Did you answer yes to any, some or all of these questions?
If so, I'm pretty sure you are human.
I can answer yes to ALL of those questions.
Now what about these:
Have you ever looked at yourself and listed off all the things you love about yourself?
Have you ever focused on all the 'healthy choices' you made in a day, instead of the unhealthy?
Have you ever told yourself "good work" for getting up early or staying up late to squeeze in a workout?
Have you ever let yourself not feel guilty about over eating at a family dinner?
Have you ever thought to yourself, they can do it and SO CAN I?
How nice are you being to yourself?
Looking at those questions makes me realize that it is so much easier, it almost more habitual, to find the negative in ourselves. I feel that a healthy lifestyle starts with how we feel about ourselves. How do we talk to ourselves during the day. How are we showing love to ourselves? I know the feelings of inadequacy that can flood our minds. When I think about it, it is toxic and we need to detox our thoughts and fill our minds and soul with positive words and thoughts about ourselves and others. This will give us the energy and motivation we are searching for to push forward.
So I challenge you, and myself included, this week to be kinder to yourself. Create a positive perceptive, see how it helps you lead a healthier fit life. I know you can do it :)
Peace out.
