Turning Jealousy into Motivation

Social Media Fitness Pages were my worst nightmare

Everyone knows what I am talking about when I say "everybody has an instagram ftness page now a days." I used to hate them, and I would unfollow people when they turned their social media into a fitness promotion or a page full of progress pictures. Maybe that is because I do not care to see what kind of protein they are sponsored by, or maybe it is because I was jealous of the progress and self love they had. Once I realized this was the case, I started to feel my mindset shift and all of the sudden I was not hating on them, I was aspiring to feel the self love like them. Specifically, I hated watching girls videos of the workouts they did that day, now I follow them to get new ideas on how to push myself and different parts of my body. There are certain body parts that I hate about myself and need ideas on how to make them better, there also parts of myself that I love and I enjoy ideas on how to keep them toned.

As soon as I stopped hating these people for their choice of social media posts, I transformed myself without even knowing it. I have contact with multiple different people that I bounce ideas off of for pre-workouts and supplements as well as workouts to lose weight or workouts to tone. I do not love my body yet, and none of them did when they started (that's why they started). But, next time you hate on someone with a fitness page on social media, remember that they are striving to be the best they can be, and they might be helping someone find motivation or self love and you don't even know it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
