Show me your muscles...
"You never know how STRONG you are until being STRONG is the only choice you have" -Unknown
Something I get asked very often is- "How do you do it Lindsay?" And I think, do what... Be a mom, be an entrepreneur, be a student, always try to put a smile on my face, get out of my house with a shower- I mean the thoughts can go on and on. But I think when this question is so commonly asked by other moms they are referring to- how do I juggle so many different titles within one day and still stay positive.
Today I had lunch with one of my best friends (you'll be hearing a lot about her) and we got into this conversation about just doing it. I've taken the past couple of months to do some true self-love and inner reflection, finally realizing my answer to this question. I do it because I don't know any different... I do it because I want not only the best for myself, but my children. I do it because I love myself and want to be able to teach my children how to love themselves and never settle. I do it because I am strong and willing to make a change. I do it because I refuse to back down. I do it because I am not going to be another statistic. I do it because I believe in me. I do it because I am enough. I do it because I am worthy. I do it because I am blessed.
And while I can go on and on about how I do it, we all have our own experiences and struggles in our lives. During our conversation at lunch I realized that while we may see others as having "everything" and not understanding how they aren't happy. The real problem is self-love, if we don't love who we are we will never find happiness. While it has taken me 30, yes thirty years to realize this I vow to love myself and respect myself every single day no matter how weak or sad I may be feeling.
So today, take the time to tell yourself that YOU ARE ENOUGH, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, YOU ARE STRONG. Love you, if you aren't able to love yourself what good are you for everyone that
surrounds you?
Today's Challenge: Place three affirmations around your home- one in your bathroom mirror, one by your bed and one by your kitchen sink.
