Worth It

How was everyone's 4th?  I just had a small bowl of ice cream and last night I had an oreo shake (always my downfall).  Not too bad though.  One important thing though when trying to change something in your life... you need to keep moving forward.

If you cheat a little more than you'd like or if you completely fail and don't exercise for a few weeks (guilty!).... it's okay.  Accept it.  Forgive yourself.  And move on.  Every time you move forward with something you are a new person.  Think about it.  How many times have you decided to exercise 3 times a week and you have failed?  To give up a bad habit?  5 times, 11 times?  It doesn't matter.  You, right now in this moment, are who you are right now.  You aren't that same person, even if you failed yesterday.  Life gives you new direction, new experiences, and it all comes together to make you who you are.

So if you have been trying to change something about yourself and you keep failing, it's okay.  Just keep moving forward.  It's a brand new day and you have a brand new perspective.  Don't be to hard on yourself.  Something that I have learned is that you need to love yourself first or else you'll never be satisfied where you are in life.

Anyway, that's my little rant for the day.  Don't give up on yourself!  You're totally worth it!
