Taking charge!

Everybody is yearning for a change. Although change is feared and is not seen as something positive I have to try to argue the opposite. As humans we like to follow a routine, to do things out of habit, because it is easier that way. Sometimes these habits are not good but rather self-destructive! I am the living example of such behavior since I did not know or did not want to know any other way then the way I was used to. Before I noticed I stopped caring for my well being, It took me a long way until I hit rock bottom that I decided that it was time to make the change. It's funny how we have to get that far low to even consider making ourselves better. Adapting a life style that encourages strength, control and positive energy has been a great change. It has changed my outlook on life and taking the steps of living a better life I am hoping to influence the lives of others.

Since January, I have joined in on a journey to a better me!And while this is a private struggle, I believe it is a very common feeling shared amongst many. We are pushing change to side because we are not ready yet, because we will start from tomorrow, because we are too lazy or too comfortable to make an adjustment until one day we realize that we are at a place where we do not recognize ourselves but accept the tragedy. It takes one decision, one will to turn the page and give ourselves a try. If I believe in you, now it is time to believe in yourself because at the end of the day you are the one making the difference!

Getting Stronger

You are STRONG but you may not even know it. I am not even aware of my strength for the most of the time. I read about strong women, i have strong women in my life and for some others I am that strong woman. It's funny how we can't grasp such a simple thing. But it is indeed a journey and an interesting one.
What I am learning is what strength means to me. I believe it is individual. Strength for me is many things such as physical strength, fitness, health, confidence,intelligent curiosity, humility and spirituality. As I try real hard to work on all of them at once, I have decided to take it one step at a time. I have lost the control of my body. In order to be strong I should have a strong body and soul . As, I have been working out for a while now with the intent to solely lose weight and fit in my clothes, I have started to change my focus to strengthen my body instead. I want to have a strong body so I can carry myself better, which will influence my confidence. I want to be stronger in my legs so I don't feel as tired after sitting at work all day. I want to be stronger knowing that I am doing the best to be healthier and a great example for others. I want to motivate people because that pushes me even further. I love this. I love my new approach and I am hopefully going to be stronger in mind, heart, body and soul.

Are you getting stronger? Let's do it together. Take one step at a time and take the time to take care of your body. It's the key to your healthy future!

Losing myself

I was who I was and I am who I am.

This sentence has been on my mind for weeks while I am trying to keep my head above the water. I never thought that I will be trapped in the routine and doubting who I am. I had to ask myself: Did I lose the fun and bubbly zummie? The answer is yes. I feel the transition from worry free to worry to every day routine. Is this life and reality? Different priorities shape life. Life is good still. I was who I was because it makes me who I am today. I do not think that I am losing the fun and bubbly zummie. It is still there, just locked up by commitments, priorities, and life itself but it comes out with people you love and bits and pieces with people you meet daily. I just need to remind myself that it's still me.
I am who I am. I need to breathe in and out.

I am happy.
