Today I had a realization as I was talking to a friend just how different I feel "inside" and out, and I'd say the inside is even more critical long term...Because anybody who devotes time each day can create a body they want, but it's that step of wanting it in the first place, that's the kernel that is built on trust of oneself. Just declaring 'today' is the day, and a year later, almost two years later, you're standing on that same foundation. I didn't even think that taking time to fix my body would move into other areas of my life. I think many of us don't expect that. But when you start getting to the bottom of what makes you tick rather than the bottom of an ice cream container, you just naturally start building confidence.
Now maybe you did it occasionally; maybe you tried before and failed; maybe you get motivated briefly, but then give up, or you're in the apathetic state which is where I was . Just not doing anything, kind of hanging out, wishing on a star, or just vegetating, numbing and not honestly doing any move in any direction. That was me.
I wish I had had ME to talk to then, because I get it now. It's a tumbling effect, the good food, the vigorous exercise, the bonding, the energy -- it moves you to do other great things in your life. And then you're tumbling with a smile!
