Good morning life! As I wake and stumble to the bathroom to do my morning ritual, I flip the light on and WOW! There I am. Yes, my hair is sticking straight up and the light nearly blinds me BUT I like what I see looking back at me! My skin is pasty white ( I think ) but I like it. I choose no tanning bed or laying out in the sun. I like the way my skin has aged. I take care of my face on a twice daily routine. I eat my fruits, veggies, lean meats and fish. Yep, over the years my choice to live a "better" lifestyle is reflecting back at me. As I look at myself one thing I can really see in my eyes is my happy spirit. Along the way it has been hard to not compare myself to other people at the gym. "Wow, look at her abs -how come mine don't look like that?" or "I can never have a skinny waist like hers" or "I will never look like her so why am I here?" Trust me, this is hard for us to do everywhere we go BUT we must choose NOT to fill our minds with comparisons. That is how are self-image is formed in a negative way! The judgement we make of ourselves should come from within us in a positive way. Filling your mind with positive affirmations will form a positive self-image. "I am a nice person" or "I am a positive person and I create a positive lifestyle." Fill you head full of these thoughts so when you look at yourself naked, yes naked, you aren't seeing what you're NOT and seeing WHAT YOU ARE! An amazing person that deserves to take care of herself/himself. You touch so many lives everyday and many love you!
I hope you choose a "healthy" lifestyle. Make small changes as you go along and before you know it, not only will you see and feel it in your heart and body, so will others.
