Take Control Of What You Can...Yourself.

As 2020 comes to an end we can look over the year and reflect on a lot of the situations that we could not control. The demands that the world put on this year and the restrictions have been felt by many. I feel everyone has felt the stress.

When you look at this time within your life, you can reflect on the things that you cannot change, or you can reflect on the things that you can. What would those changes be? What do you desire within yourself for 2021? You have the power within yourself to accomplish your goals, sometimes fear can make us hesitate. What if its too difficult? I don't feel I have the strength, the energy, the finance etc. You owe it to yourself to do it now, if you wait for the right time, will that time ever come? fear is just a thought, embrace courage.

There has been so much negativity around us this year, reach for a positive and feel that within yourself.

Sometimes it is difficult to push through but the feeling of accomplishment on the other side is worth it.

Is there an area within your life that you feel stuck? How can you fix this? You cannot move forward and get to your destination that you desire unless you take the initiative and do it. No one can make you do it but yourself. You have all the power deep inside of you, it's there I promise, all you have to do is start. You owe it to yourself to live the life you desire, whether is health, financial security, peacefulness; whatever it is...its there waiting for you, you just need to accept the reality that you have all you need right there inside.

Take a moment and think about what area you would like to grow within yourself and close your eyes and see it, visualize it, feel it within yourself, that my friend can be yours, just go for it.

It was explained to me once if a person starts smoking again after quitting for a time, that they feel they failed, the truth is they did not, every day that they went without putting a cigarette within their system was a day of success. Instead of looking at things as failure, look at them as success and keep moving forward and start again. This goes for all areas within our lives, whether its food, exercise, and maybe for me...learning to ride that huge motorcycle that yes, I have dropped. I will admit it is my fear but its a mindset just like anything else.

So, tell yourself that you can do it. I am so glad that I have decided to take care of myself. I’m eating better, exercising more and working on my well being. Is it completed perfectly everyday? heck no! but everyday that I eat healthy and exercise is success because I could be on the couch.

We do not know what the new year will bring, but whatever it does throw at us, you have the choice to move forward and take control of yourself in the way you desire. "Don't wait for things to get better. Life will always be complicated. Learn to be happy now, otherwise you'll run out of time."

Do it for you! You got this!
