OVERALL RATING
So today I found myself having a moment. I know 100% of you can relate because it's only human to have them. As I stood in the mirror I could feel the anxiety crawl up my 'fluffy back' , around the front of my 'soft arms' and back down my 'chubby tummy'....yes in that moment this was exactly the mental terrorism I was discussing with myself. For a brief moment I found myself consumed with a 'future image', completely oblivious to the present reflection staring back at me. We all posses this amazing ability to be the boss when it comes to how much psychological real estate we devote to self-image. Allowing yourself to let go of the stress does not equate to letting yourself go. For 8 weeks I grinded harder than I had in months only to lose 1.5lbs but even moreso my body was fighting all my efforts. Why? Because I was fixated on what 'needed' or was 'supposed' to happen rather than focusing on what actually was happening . It was when I decided to let go of the 'future uncertainties' and focus on the 'present realities' that my body began to change. #itrainforalooknotanumber So I challenge you all to let go? Easier said than done... I GET IT! And sometimes when I think I've let go I find myself in a 'moment' as I did today. But baby steps right... Like focusing on the moments right now. When you allow yourself to focus on the moment you are currently living in, to be happy, to be excited, to be alive with enthusiasm and energy, to be content with your current circumstances, you physically can't focus on the scales, the thoughts of others, the tummy pooch or what your *** looks like in your leggings. If you're too busy focusing on the first few I listed you won't have time or reason to focus on the last. And as you learn to focus more on the 'happy, excited, enthusiastic moments of the here and now' your level of attraction to not others but yourself will change. Why?.....because joy and bliss are UNIVERSALLY.BEAUTIFUL!
