I just needed some motivation!!
The last few weeks have been a
little crappy for me lately. They have put me in a mood and I just want out, I have
been depressed/sad, unmotivated, unhappy and generally feeling like poo… So, Monday
I decided (because I still had one friend who wanted to go too) to go see Rachel
Hollis’ ‘movie’, you know, that gal that wrote ‘Girl, wash your face’, it was
following her and hearing her talk about why she does what she does and why we
all need to do what makes us happy, and BOY AM I GLAD!!! I also am ordering the
book and can’t wait to read it!
Here is a major takeaway I have – Be
the you, your persistent you was in the past, that you that did something that
pushed you to do something big/new/scary/amazing. A lot of you know that I do
anything for others whenever I was asked, and I still do and wouldn’t want to
change that at all, I love helping others and making them feel good and happy.
BUT I don’t do it for myself, I am never good enough, I can never do what I
want, I am always putting myself last. You know what that makes me? Absolutely
CRAZY and to a degree a dumbass. I AM good enough, I CAN do what I want, and I WILL
put myself first!! We all need to do that, if we aren’t happy, we attract
unhappy people, and unhappy people can burst our happy bubble. It’s time to change
that.
So then I have to ask myself, how? I mean what do I do? I am NOT
used to putting me first, I always do what others want, I say yes to others who
ask me to do things, and am notorious for over doing things and stressing out
because of it… SO here is what I am
going to do, and really, they are things I already do!!! I want to be healthier
and help others get healthier too, this means MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY!!
One way I do that is that I am a
health coach with Optavia, if you want to lose some pounds, learn new eating
habits, fuel your body for the activities YOU want to do, let me know!!! I have
followed their plan and lost 40 pounds and kept them off, now I want to do
more, lose more, help more people, BE HEALTHIER!!!
My other way is with Young Living
Essential Oils, where the Optavia has helped me lose the pounds, YLEO has
helped keep my brain calmer, my stress levels down, sleep like a baby, and they
SMELL AMAZING!!! I am still learning about them and love what I have learned so
far and want to share with anyone I can tell!! I mean an oil that can clean
your house, keep you from getting sick, keep your stress levels manageable?!?!
Yeah, I am so on that train and love the ride!!!
I am NOT a medical professional, I am
NOT a hippie, I AM motivated to get healthy and enjoy life, if you want to know
more let me know!!!
Sara, I have always been motivated by your smile and enthusiasm and thought you were doing things for "you". Your disney marathons, just going to Disneyland. maybe you got away from that or maybe it was a front. you know what happens behind closed doors. I hope you do more for you. I try. it is a fine balance between being a mom, wife, daughter. I sacrfice my healthy in the name of doing for me. I look forward to sharing in your journey.
