Often times when we need to be our biggest fans we can be our worst enemy. 
We tell ourselves stories, same stories that sad and broken people use to tell us. Same things hurt people use to say when they wanted to break us down. 
After hearing it for so long maybe we began to believe them and live up to them. 
The closest most intimate relationship we can have other than the one with the divine is with our very selves.

Build YOU. Before you build anyone else. You can’t help anyone until you help yourself. 
Lovers, what are some of the things you say to yourself? When I took this pic I picked it apart!

I even went on a tangent until one of my sister coaches in my accountablity group said girl you look amazing" then I was awe thanks, you're right cause I actually felt good and super strong when my hubby started snapping these pics right after on of our couples workout together.  But because of my bloating and the fact that I’ve been eating more of the things I’d don’t normally eat while celebrating family and life. I let that insecure feeling creep up.

I had to correct myself real quick because I’m literally the strongest person I know. I know this because I know what I’ve overcome. I started mentally saying you are one bad woman Cat!!! Bad as in good 😊

We all have our moments? Does your self talk sound like kind and loving words? Are they encouraging and uplifting? Are they empowering? Do you affirm yourself? OR do you indulge in unhealthy self talk and mind chatter. Do you focus on limiting beliefs, self doubt and pick yourself and your body apart. 

Even as a fitness influencer sometimes I find myself in the sunken place.  But luckily I've learned that this is part of the journey and that I have unlimited power to get over myself and the ideals of perfection when that is not what I'm striving for when ultimately I'm striving to be better than the girl I was yesterday. 

Let’s honor ourselves today and everyday by saying all the things you need to hear. Start with you. Need support. Start with you. Need to feel loved. Start with you. Invest in your mental health and wellbeing.

POWER UP REMINDER: this week I’ve done my very best. Next week I vow to do better. Each day I level up building towards the person I’m destined to be!

Be Good to You Lovers, we are all doing and trying our best at adulting, parenting, boss thing and leveling up.  Be mindful of how far you've come.
