Self Care

I really have to recommend reading this blog post:

I found it to be very inspiring and kind of just what I needed to read right now.

It is so easy to get bogged down when we experience problems in our lives. It can be hard to find motivation. If we fall backwards after we have made progress it's easy to beat ourselves up about it rather than just accepting what happened and moving on.

One of my goals in life is to respond to adversity rather than react to it. To use it to propel me forward, look for solutions, to grow. Taking a moment to feel the emotions and then taking control of them rather than wallowing and letting them take over me.

One way I do this is through my visits to the gym and running. This is time I take t be on my own and this is how I recharge, taking care of my physical self. I also use my bubble-bath time to relax and contemplate and try to take care of  my emotional self.

I refuse to submit to self pity.
I refuse to wallow.

I choose to keep moving.
