"Life is not about having approval for what you look like, what labels you wear, or what gig you may have going. It's not about what others say is groovy or IN. It's about YOU and being who YOU are. Dance to your own beat. Stay healthy: exercise, eat good food, breathe fresh air and drink plenty of water. Do it for yourself, not for anyone else. And then when you do meet someone who rocks your world, you won't panic and rush into a crazy diet and gym schedule."Society has this crazy way of getting under our skin and trying to change ourselves, so that we can all compare each other and try to be the best of the best. I'm guilty of it - I'm sure a lot of us are at some degree. This is a big part of my life right now - trying to figure out who I really am and only being ME, not someone else.
Slowly, but surely, I am doing things for myself. I started P90X again and my goal is the whole 90 days. Right now, I can't get through the entire videos 100%, but at least I'm at more than 70%. I go at my own pace, but I am working out and I am proud of myself for that. I am extremely sore, but they say that's just pain leaving the body, right?!
I am also giving time to me, myself, and I. Last Saturday night, I laid in my bedroom with some great Pandora music and crocheted - for four hours! While crocheting, I was able to listen to great lyrics from Sara Bareilles, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat, KT Tunstall, etc. I was able to put those lyrics into my own perspective and a lot of them really hit me hard. It made me feel so good inside and I truly feel like I am becoming closer to my own happiness every single day.
It will be a constant battle trying to do things for myself all the time. I am a very giving person and a lot of times, I put others before me. I just need to remember to respect myself and the rest will follow. As for now, off to crochet and continue loving life as it is.
