Fight the negative to ACCOMPLISH your goals

I don’t know why but this morning I woke up thinking about the things that people said I should/would never do. It’s easy to get wrapped up I. The idea of what others think and say about us. I could sit here and tell you that you shouldn’t care, but I know it’s easier said than done. If I told you I lived like that, it would be a lie.

Truth is I do care, but I think that is wrapped up in insecurities. I let it creep into my head and ruin some pretty proud moments for myself. Truth is, I shouldn’t care to the point where it sometimes does affect me the way it does. I feel like I’ve gotten better at the whole thing, but I’m 60% emotional and 40% logical.

But I’m wasting time and energy thinking about that kind of stuff. Insecurities bring self doubt and worry about what others think brings on feelings of guilt and non acceptance. Those are all things that we need to shed from our lives.

Most importantly, letting those things become an obstacle for something we want to do is nonsense. It’s time to stop the cycle and just believe those things will happen. But those things will only happen if we try.

No one can stop you from accomplishing whatever you want to do. Stay focused. Develop a plan. Move forward and never look back. Find a people who will support you. Support doesn’t always mean those people will always understand. Support means they will be there to listen and lift you up when an ear is needed. It’s also important to surround with people who do understand. It helps to talk to those people to gain perspective.

I say this because it’s a new year and people are trying new things and embarking on new journeys. It’s never going easy but having the confidence to see the journey to the end. Everything is possible, it just depends on how hard you.>

2015: A year of new goals

2015: A year of new goals

I’ve been contemplating my goals for the new year.  I’m taking a new approach to my goals this year.  I sat down to think about what I accomplish in the new year and most of them come in the form of being true to myself and using my voice.  It seems to be more internal than physical.  I don’t know what that really means. 1.  I want to stay true to myself.  I’m a people pleaser, I don’t want people to be upset or hurt by my actions. That sometimes interferes with my thought making process because I make decisions…

Happy August! It’s time for new goals!

Happy August! It’s time for new goals!

Happy August everyone!  It’s the start of a new month which means anything is possible.  Start thinking about the things you hope to accomplish this month. Yesterday was my momma’s birthday!  It was kind of a chill day for her.  My  momma likes to celebrate occasions with food which is hard for Willie and I because we’re trying to keep things in check. We finally decided on Pei Wei.  If you’re an old blog reader you know Willie and I use to swear by this place, but they changed the menu.  For me, the nutritional information is a little bit…

Perks of being proactive

Perks of being proactive

If there is something you want in life, you MUST go after it! It’s time to be proactive. Sometimes talk is cheap!  It’s time to stop talking and time to start doing something.  “You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” I posted this quote on Facebook this morning and it got more likes than any post I’ve posted in a long time. There’s a reason for that…it’s the truth. Setting goals is a GREAT thing. I never want to detour anyone from setting goals, but at what point do you start to put those goals into…

Why goals are VERY important

It’s that time again where I start looking forward to the future. I want to know what my next big thing is going to be so I can start working on it now!

When I finished the class, I felt good because I knew I accomplished my goal. Goals don’t always have to be a big ta-da in life! There are long-term and short-term goals! Short term goals are the perfect way to help you…

More than just about weight loss

More than just about weight loss

We wanted to lose the weight to improve our quality of life and we did it! I’m here to tell losing weight was only the FIRST step in improving our quality of life. I learned in hindsight that the weight was holding us back from not just being physically active but also socially active. Don’t get me wrong, we both have a GREAT set of BEST friends in our life but all but one set live out of state.  The in state people don’t even live in our city.  Willie and I spent a LOT of time sitting at home,…
