Honesty check! Think about how you love yourself... Think about how you value and focus on you. What do those efforts look like? Before I was consistent in my conscious efforts to focus on me I did not honestly value and understand how amazing my body is. I didn't see my potential of what I could be consistently...About how I would consistently feel by honoring myself. After growing and delivering Sam, I knew my body could be better. It had to be to be able to do what was best for him. And that was to have a healthy and happy mom. Loving yourself, to me, comes in a cause and effect.... When I eat like crap, I feel like crap. Both physically and mentally. When I feel like crap, both physically and mentally, I am not inclined to feel like working out. When I don't work out, I speak negatively about myself. My mood swings are higher and lower when I don't sweat it out. When I speak negatively about/to myself, I react similarly to others. My mood swings also impact my relationships at work and at home. When I act and speak negatively towards myself and are grumpy towards others, I don't feel like I have the worthiness to study and focus on my personal development or in the Bible... And this is when I don't feel like loving myself... BUT! Flip the coin over.... And I've honestly seen this in my physical, mental, and spiritual transformation.... When I eat to fuel my body with healthy, clean foods...I feel great and ready to tackle each part of my day. I feel strong and capable and present and focused. I'm not hungry or bloated or overly full or infuriated with heartburn. And that 'busted can of biscuits' feeling...not when I'm eating clean and in the right portions to fuel myself. When I feel great and prepared and energized...I am ready to workout and get my sweat on. I am more inclined to kick my butt into gear because of my discipline and stronger mind to stay on task to achieve my goals. When I workout, I generate even more energy and my mood stays at a more consistent perky, level mood. I feel amazing and I have positive affirmations about myself, my mind, and my body. When I have the positive mindset, I am in a great mood and act positively and happy towards others. I don't feel so down on myself that I am extra snarky towards others. I tend to have a greater ability to see the brighter side of a situation and have the focus to have a solution, rather than complain negatively only. When I consistently speak and act positively to myself and others, I have a greater sense of who I am and I am confident and eager to read my personal development and the Bible. I am more open and willing to improve on myself in a positive way.... I have experienced this whole string of cause and effect on both sides of the coin. I know how it feels to not feel fun and feel in that rut and that tailspin. I also know that it is possible to consistently feel positive and bright and feel that self love. Absolutely it is a journey everyday and absolutely it isn't always sunshine and roses. But there are more sunshiny days with consistent effort to focus on really being that way. And part of my sunshiny days is focused on serving you. I want you to seek and feel your potential as much as I do. It's contagious and I have to let you know about it! I'm starting a new challenge group on August 8th and I'd be honored if you would join me. Daily workouts, clean eating meal plan, and Shakeology. Your attitude and work, my support and encouragement. Email me in the 'Let's Connect' section and we can talk about your goals and how I can serve you in helping you achieve them. ❤️☺️
