You are an incredible person, whether you have dealt with tough times or you feel like life has got you wrapped up and stressed out daily. Everyday I wake up with a schedule, a worry, or sometimes even a task that has to be done that day. We push ourselves to be successful to reach some end goal that will eventually lead in landing a good job, having a great deal of money, or reaching some peak of happiness. But quite often what we don't remind ourselves of is how important we are mentally and physically. Do you wake up every day and feel happy with the body that you are living in? This isn't meant to be cliche, but you must love what you were given. Every day you should wake up and remind yourself:
1. You are only human.
Remind yourself that you're capable of so much. Never forget that you are meant to do something in this world. Don't stress your body out and keep a clear and conscious mind.
2. You should love yourself first.
Before entering any healthy relationship, whether it be a friendship or romantic relationship, you must know who you are and what you stand for. You can't love others without loving yourself first.
3. Each day is a brand new day.
Yesterday was one day in thousands you have yet to live. If something has knocked you down, collect yourself and start over again. Whether it be big or small, every small step can make you mentally and emotionally stronger.
4. Take a deep breath.
In our fast paced world, we often forget to stop and take a breath once in awhile. We are so focused on such minuscule things in life that we get wrapped up in a world that stresses us out.
5. Be the best version of yourself.
This is the most important part. You may not like the skin you wear, your hair, your body shape. You can change it however you please because that is the beauty of expressing yourself. But what is inside yourself must be used to its full potential because we need more people to make this world a better place.
Each day is a new canvas and the way it is painted is 100% up to you.
