I went into the gym today and did my weekly weigh in. I lost 4 pounds this week. I felt super proud. I then laughed realizing I had two rows of 22 inch extensions removed and all the weight could have been the missing hair. However, I will take it. Ha ha. No matter, being 4 pounds lighter made me feel good. I feel so much more motivated to accomplish the busy day ahead of me. Shopping to do before the trip, laundry, cleaning, getting my spring decor out, a couple of clients this afternoon. With all of these items I did not want to write this journal today. I thought “I don’t have time” but I decided I am prioritizing what really matters today. Sometimes we have to do things that we don’t want to do like going to work or waking up in the middle of the night with your child.

You may feel tired and worn down like you do not have the will power however, you have more strength than you give yourself credit. You have the will power to do whatever it is you set your mind to. For those of you today that are in a funk or having a day, where your husband is grumpy, your child woke you up in the middle of the night, you have a million other things to do and the time you need to spend on yourself gets put on the back burner….Stop what you doing! Take a 10 min stretch and do some deep breathing, and stop putting yourself last. When you put others before you and you repeat that pattern daily, before you know it, you feel like a failure. You may even tell yourself “I never have time to get the things done I say I will.” “Why am I so Tired?” “I feel ugly and fat”, “why can’t I just do this?” “I don’t recognize myself anymore.”

The reality is you create your future with each thing you do. When you put the work in for yourself, when you say nice comments about yourself, and when you do the right thing, it always comes back to you. You create your future. Your create your daily success, you create the person you are. You create the person you desire to be. I desire to be a lovely, accountable, relatable, successful joyful person and so it is. I am shaping my life one workout, one laundry load, one journal entry at a time. The simplest things in life can sometimes be the most difficult. Today, I encourage you to do that item that keeps getting put on the back burner.

The thoughts that are continually replaying through our brains, shape us! Accomplish the tasks that keep circling in your mind and you will feel so much better.  In closing, You’re stronger and have more energy than you give yourself credit for. Go and make the day great. 😘

Sharing Love, Life, and Happiness

While at the gym last week, I was working out with a sweet lady. She lifts more weights than me and honestly her stamina is much better than mine. After talking with her…she’s been working out for years. I thought to myself “ why in the heck are you comparing yourself to someone that has been on this journey three times as long as you. Focus on the bigger picture. You are doing it and you are still continuing to losing weight. Be gentle with yourself, talk to yourself like you would talk to a friend. Get out of your head and get outside the box. You are doing it! Whatever it is that you are doing…..as long as you are completing it there’s nothing to fret.

It is easy to compare yourself. I have realized that the outward appearances can be deceiving. You never know what someone is going through. Their life could be total poop yet, they are still posting happy memories on social media. It’s easy to get caught up in the “I wish I was” , “if only I were” , “I wish I had”….so much so that we forget about our own reality. We forget about the great people, the happy memories, our own ambitions. It becomes this vicious cycle of living our lives through a social media screen or a Netflix show.

Last year I went to a Dermaplane Certification class. In a class filled with Estheticians we were suppose to perform a Dermaplane on one another. While holding a scalpel in my hand, after never doing this before, my hand were shaking. I thought that I was the only one until I began to look around the room and noticed all the other Estheticians were shaking too. In my mind, I was the only one that was nervous and struggling. I decided to embrace my hand shaking. I was a little nervous but I knew I was going to do great and I knew my nerves would ease up soon. Eventually, my nerves did ease up and I finished my model and completed my dermaplaning certification. In the process of others witnessing me speaking up about my nerves I was able to ease the nerves of the girls around me.

Instead of beating each other up we should all realize that we are in this together. Everyone has a lesson to teach the other. Jealousy, Envy, and hatefulness doesn’t have to exist if we simply use those individuals as role models to propel us forward into the people that we strive to be. Just because someone can lift more doesn’t make you in adequate. Just because that girl goes everywhere and you don’t get the time to doesn’t mean you cant dream and create your own paradise. Just because that girl is married and your not doesn’t mean you won’t find your Prince Charming, just because that friend hasn’t been through trauma doesn’t mean she can’t relate to you and become a motivator for you. We are here on this earth to love one another to build each other up, to learn, to grow and to be the best version of ourselves.

Me personally, I choose to create life. Instead of always watching others, make one for yourself. Life doesn’t have to be complicated. If you took a picture every time you smiled, you too would be an inspiration to others. We get so caught up on the reflection of others that we don’t see ourselves and our lives for what they truly are. The outlook that we see on the world is distorted. If you’re not seeing what is right in front of you, BUY SOME GLASSES! YOU! You’re the hallmark movie, the motivational speaker that moves people, the scientist that creates cures, the doctor or nurse that saves lives, the most beautiful girl anyone has ever seen, the kindest and most loving mom, the best cook, and the most creative artist. Whatever or whoever you are screen shot that! Screen shot that moment in your mind when you completed something important! Do you see? You are that movie, you are that social media post.

Being vulnerable is not a fault. It’s what makes us relatable and human. None of us are perfect. Your hands my be a little shaky and sometimes the weight of life can be to much to lift all by yourself but just know you are never alone. Sometimes just knowing that gives you the confidence you need to push through circumstances that once seemed impossible. “Strength doesn’t come from what you can do it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.”
