The 30 Days of Truth Challenge Day 3

Day 3.) Something you have to forgive yourself for.

I have to forgive myself for all the what ifs in my life. I think back and wonder what if I had done this instead of that. I know I can't change anything and yet I still wonder well what if I had done that differently. Its not that I want to change anything or how things happened. Because I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason even if I do not know the reason behind it.

I have to realize that what I did I did because it was the right choice at that moment in time. I have to forgive myself for the mistakes I've made. No one is perfect. I should not expect perfect out of myself. I have to realize I do make mistakes and that is part of life. I can only grow as a person from those mistakes.

I am excited to turn a new chapter in my life and start a new journey. I am ready to jump in whole hearted and start fresh. It is my time to be happy and not criticize myself for things I have done in the past or even things I am sure to do in the future.

The 30 Days of Truth Challenge Day 2

Day 2.) Something you love about yourself.

This question was a bit harder to really figure out what I love about myself. I have little things that I love about myself. I love my hair most days. I have the option to keep it curly or straighten it. I just wish I knew how to do more with it.

I love my eyes. I love doing my make up to help make the blue pop out! I know these seem like simple little things but its the little things in life that add up to make the bigger picture right?

I also like that I am a very good listener and can be there for anyone that needs to talk. I really enjoy helping others and talk to them about stuff. I really like to see the good in people and help them see it themselves.

I think that everyone has lots of good qualities about themselves its just a matter of if we see them or not. I know I am working to see more things about myself that are positive!

Day 1.) Something you hate about yourself.

After thinking for a long time about this because I am sure we all have a lot of things we don't like about ourselves. I know the big thing for me is my weight. Which I have set goals for myself and I start them and see little results. But by not seeing a lot of results I get down on myself and kinda think whats the point if its not working. I know I have the motivation to lose the weight and to stick with it. I just need to follow through with what I set out to do.
I have to commit to doing what I plan out with working out and eating better. I mean I love a good cheeseburger or piece of pizza but I know that they need to be in moderation and not something on a regular basis. I love fruits and veggies so it really shouldn't be that hard to eat better and healthy because I really do love the healthy foods.
I love how after I go for a walk or a workout I feel much better about myself and feel like I accomplished something. It is a baby step but I know that if i get back on it I will be more self confident about myself and my looks. I am not saying I have no self confidence because I do. But I know that things would def change with how I felt.
I know that I have to start by making a change and a commitment to myself to go after my goals. I know if I can reach my goals for other things that this goal should be no different. I have to realize that I am much stronger than I give myself credit for.
