My Thoughts While I Watch The Olympics

I don't think that it has really hit me that this year was the summer Olympics. I still get excited when I see something about it. When I watch the trials, read the articles, so many different things are running through my mind. It is when you start to realize you are untalented and that you are weak. These are my four top thoughts when watching the trials.

1. I wish I could do that.

Who doesn't wish that they could flip across the floor and fly through the air? Or swim across a pool that fast, or jump so high to spike a volleyball...because I know I want to.

2. Man, I am lazy.

I am literally sitting on the couch right now watching the trials. I am eating and being lazy while these people are incredible athletes....AWESOME.

3. Why don't I have that six pack?

I do my crunches but why can't I be perfectly fit with a six pack. They are in such great shape and again, I am over here........

4. 'MERICA

I think during the Olympics is when we have so much pride. USA USA USA. I think this is when people bond together over one thing just like we do every year on the 4th of July, now we are just doing it for sports.


So hopefully you enjoyed the summer Olympics. Use it for motivation to go out and exercise. Don't think you can't do it because if you practiced like they did, you probably could. However, still have that American pride.

Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
