Happy New Year Everyone!! Hope you all had a great holiday! This was my Christmas Break!
I had a million things on my to-do-list for the holidays and lately I have ADHD or something because I keep making drafts that I don’t finish to publish. I haven’t worked hard enough this past year on this blog but I won’t beat myself up because last has been an amazing year for me. I’m growing, I’m changing, I had another birthday but I’ll be forever young!
This is my Theme Song!
For two yrs now I have consistently been doing my exercise, eating healthy, getting my mind and body right. I feel the most productive and content when I’m doing me. 2014 was the year of me and what makes me happy and what I’d like to say most for people just getting started on themselves is this: Do Something or Do Nothing. Every time you don’t do what you’re supposed to do, you defeat yourself. You are your own biggest nightmare.
10 Ways to Invest in Yourself Starting Right NOW:
1. Eat Right. You want to look and feel differently? Eat a wholesome and nutritious diet. Stick to single ingredient foods. If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it. If you want that piece of cake, go ahead and eat it, and enjoy every bite, but don’t go back for more. If you already had a meal recently go get some water! Hydrate!
2. Exercise. It’s just that simple. I used to hate exercise but now I actually look forward to it, I don’t dread it anymore. I get 3-4 days in a week, and I love it, if I don’t do it I feel like crap. Even if you don’t get any time in to exercise, move faster, get yourself moving. Lift some heavy things in your home for a few reps every week, put on the music and dance!
4. Groom. Be your best self. Pamper yourself. You don’t need a lot of money to do this. Scrub your skin, do your nails, wax, pluck, shave, get a haircut, get yourself together daily and consistently. We take great care of our most prized possessions why shouldn’t you be the most important thing?
6. Say YES. Say yes after you’ve said no. If it feels good do it. Today’s society breeds two types of people. The overindulge-rs and the delayers. There are those who need to say NO more often to things they overindulge in and then there are those waiting. Waiting to start their life, waiting for more money, waiting for the “right” time. Delayed gratification is the most important part of success, however delayed gratification can hurt you too. Too much of anything is not good, so do the things you enjoy, because it’s part of loving yourself. Hobbies are just as important as chores.9. Seek Growth. Become so self-aware that you’re able to identify what makes you happiest, when you’re being unrealistic, when you’re complaining too much, who isn’t genuine, and when to re-evaluate the direction you’re headed in. The first thing people will ask is how? When you go on a journey looking for growth that’s where you’ll develop strength, learn life lessons, and build determination that will get you through the tough things in life. Read as much as you can, focus your goals on experiences rather than material possessions. Focus your ambitions on fulfillment. Satisfaction is guaranteed there.
