Health is Wealth 🎍

[2geminii]

go on more walks. walk for no reason. walk to solve a problem. walk to blow off steam. walk to get outside. walk to listen, read, and learn. walk to escape distractions. walk to improve your health. walk to think. a simple walking habit can change absolutely everything.

A smart woman makes sure she has her own money.

It’s easy to feel comfortable in the passenger seat,

but true peace comes when you’re the one behind the wheel.

Security is having cash in your bag, a full tank in your car,

and the freedom to move on your own terms.

Work for it. Earn more.

A woman who can rely on herself is a woman no one can break.

Going to start showing up for myself. Starting today.

Mentally and Physically.

It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by trying to change and become “the best version” of yourself. Sometimes I forget that the best version of myself is the version that wakes up in the morning and is grateful for everything she’s worked towards and all the opportunities she’s given.

Baby steps is way better than jumping head first into change and over exerting yourself.

The situation with the Wizard Liz is a good reminder to do this prayer if you’re in a talking stage: Lord, if this man I’m about give my attention, body, and communion to does not have pure and reciprocal intentions for me, please remove him from my life. You see the beginning and the end, you are familiar with all our ways, you see the hearts and minds. Keep me away from men who have a lustful spirit and lack remorse. Do not allow me to waste my life and time with someone who doesn’t deserve it. Amén.

in my experience, “self development” (or whatever you want to call it) comes in ebbs and flows. but what i see happen is people go all-in, then find themselves overly self-identifying with being someone who self improves and can’t stop. they become exhausted and bored focusing on it constantly, then conclude that it’s all rubbish and that you should “just be allowed to exist” without this constant self-focus. of course, they say all this while benefiting from the improved self-awareness and position in life their self development has given them. the reality is, you need breaks. seasons. rhythms. whatever works for you.

i’m not constantly working on myself: i focus on whatever i need to develop to reach my next goal, then i take a break and actually enjoy my progress. inevitably, as i continue living, some other goal or next step becomes obvious and i do what is required to achieve that. additionally, i cycle through improving my “base level” lifestyle: so at certain periods i’ve been focused on nutrition and food, others on personal style, and so on. as you get older, i’ve had to “self improve” less and can just ~enjoy my life~ more, which should be the point of it.

remember that it’s not about being perfect in every way to some pretend outside audience of voyeurs, it’s about doing what you need to do to reach your goals. tie it to something real, namely: actual achievements and enjoyment of life. that’s how i do it anyway.

If you’re ever questioning your purpose please remember that there is a reason for you being here. Everything you’re doing right now will slowly lead you to a bigger plan. Work hard but don’t over work yourself. Think big but trust in the plan!
