Hi everyone... Sorry it has been so long since my last blog. Life has been crazy and I just haven't had the time. So during all this time I have had a lot to reflect on and here is some ideas for you to GET MOTIVATED!!!
So I have decided that there are so many images out there of what you need to look like to be accepted as "beautiful" out there in the "real" world. And frankly they are too negative and they do the exact opposite of motivating me!I recently went to Nashville for a conference for school and I visited my friends ther Marshal and Katherine. And can i just say that Katherine is such an amazing women!!! She has been through some nasty stuff and has come out on top as one of the most BEAUTIFUl women I have ever met... inside and out! She really is such an inspiration to me. Well I got this idea from her... She has a board up in her computer room that seems like it is a motivation board for her hopes and her dreams and positive images to look at every day. It didn't seem like it was quite done, like it is a work in progress project. I didn't say anything to her about it because I didn't really think much of it. But when I got home and decided that I really need to get back on the ball of getting healthy this board really stuck in my mind. So I decided to make one for me! I made it to reflect me and only me. Not what other people want of me, not what the world wants of me, but what I want of myself. I put positive words and images that I can look at to help me get motivated. I put it up just right outside my doorway to my bedroom so it is one of the first things I see in the morning and thorugh out the day. I have had it up for almost a week and already I can say that it has had a big effect on me. When I was at the gym the other day I wanted to quite.. I was tired and I just wanted to be done. Well I thought about my motivation board and it really gave me that extra little ump to keep going and finish my work out.
So I encourage everyone out there that needs motivation to try doing this board and see what it can do for you! I would love to hear your comments and stories about it helping you!
And thanks to my friend katherine for loving me, believeing in me, helping me want to be a better person, and truely being a great inspiration to me. I love ya girl!!
