If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it.
I'm okay, I promise
Pretending to be Okay when your really not is like smiling when your lips are dry. And I mean really dry. Dry to the point where they crack and bleed when you open you mouth all the way. Dry to the point where you can feel them stretch and break with every movement of your mouth. Dry to the point where it hurts to eat or drink anthing because it stings you lips and seeps into the cuts like salt. Dry to the point where you can feel you pulse in them and they almost burn with fever. Dry to the point that your whole face goes numb when you move them to much. But you smile anyway. Because it's temporary right? Drink some water and I'll be fine. Because all your friends are smiling and it would be weird if you didn't. You smile and you laugh even though it is torture and all you can feel is the pain in your lips. The pain as they just crack more. It's the same feeling when you tell people you are okay when you want to break down, or panic, or stop everything. Except it isn't your lips that hurt. It's everything. So it's okay to be messed up. To want things to stop. To say that you need help. To say that you just can't smile right now. So get up, go get yourself some mental vasoline (whatever that may be) and heal. You can do it. You dont have to break you lips to smile. And You dont have to break you mind to say "I'm okay, I promise."
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I think I self-sabotage SO many things that I actually want in my life because something - the timing, my energy, my outfit (!) - isn’t perfect... . “I’m not going to be able eat healthfully 100% today, so why bother?” . “I’m too tired from ____, so why even try to exercise?” . “I’m so not as athletic as those people, so why even join their support group?” . “That at-home side-gig looks fun, but I’m don’t look like I [workout/know skincare/have fashion sense/whatever].” . So what? So what! (That’s what I have to shout at myself). TAKE THE LITTLE STEPS. Notice what happens! You might find yourself energized by your actions, and taking MORE LITTLE STEPS! 😀. . Cmon, what’s the thing you’re shuffling your feet on today? What’s ONE LITTLE THING you can do? Because, my friend, you CAN do! ❤️ . . *~*~*~*~* If you could use more positivity in your life around your health, fitness, and nutrition goals, DM me. My next 8-week fitness support group is opening up soon. Would love to have you in it. 😊 #motivation #yesyoucan #takeaction #perfectlyimperfect #fitatanyage #keepliving #emptynester #oldbutyoung #nevertooold #faithoverfear #positivity #bodypositive https://www.instagram.com/p/CFLtc0HgCsj/?igshid=gm97p3w63jku
