ENJOY your day, my friends.
Tell the most important people in your life that you ♥ them, and let them know what a blessing they are to your life.
I'm sure they know, but it's something no one ever gets tired of hearing.
And for those of you struggling to keep your motivation in this journey towards a healthier YOU- I want to ENCOURAGE you today....YOU are worth the effort it takes to take care of your health.
Those who LOVE you would tell you that.
There's lots of people in my life who didn't take care of their health- saying what they did to their bodies was *their* business.
Maybe so, but that attitude- "it's MY life, MY body, and I'm not hurtin' anyone but MYSELF" led to abuse, apathy, and neglect.......and, in my opinion, premature death.
Those who loved them were left behind to grieve their loss, and STILL do.
A part of ME died when they did.
So, I keep that in mind when I'm tempted to think how I treat my body is MY business.
As long as there are people who love me, whom my life touches, then EVERY choice I make regarding my life, health and the quality of my life- directly affects those I love as well.
STAY focused on the goal of making BETTER choices, and know that EACH choice is WORTH it.
( PS I'm talking to MYSELF as well- cuz I needed this reminder too)
