Following Your Own Path




We are all on some kind of journey.  Most of us are on many different journeys, all at the same time.  The important thing to remember for each and every journey, is to follow your own path.  Many people may be on similar journeys.  It's ok to listen to their ideas and their suggestions.  You never know if they will tell you something that will benefit you in your own journey.  However similar your journey may be to theirs, no two people are going to have the exact same journey.  If we try to follow someone else's journey, step by step, we are likely to stumble, and possibly get lost.  What works for one person, may not work for another.   

Your journey is yours alone.  Choose your path and begin.  Keep in mind that sometimes the right path for you, may not be the easiest path to take.  If you come to a fork in the road, pause, and make a decision as to which way that you want to go - maybe even try the road less traveled.  You can always turn around, go back to that fork in the road, and go the other direction, if you don't like where the first road led you.  Backtracking, and restructuring your journey, is not a negative thing.  It only means that you are looking for the correct path for you.  If you stumble and fall, get back up and keep going.  If you do get lost along the way, you will find your way again.

Believe in yourself!  Choose your own path!  You will find your way!  You will succeed!

Decisions! Decisions!

 Every day, all of us have to make decisions - what to wear, where to go, what to do, what to eat, and probably many more decisions.  More often than not, I struggle with decisions.  Some days I go through 2-3 outfits before I make a decision.  I'm often involved in the conversation of "Where do you want to go?" "I don't know, where do you want to go?" I am an "over-thinker," and sometimes, I think that makes it even more difficult to make the decision.  There are times that I wish someone else would just make decisions for me! I just got back from vacation, and I had a very difficult time making decisions - food decisions.  A few years ago, my boyfriend and I went on vacation, and we were both on diets.  We went to this famous restaurant, and didn't want to cheat, so we didn't eat anything that we "shouldn't" eat.  That was over four years ago, and we still talk about how we will never do that again.  It bothere...

Doubt Can Kill Your Dreams

Doubt kills more dreams that failure ever will.  All of us have dreams (or goals, if you want to look at them that way.)  As an example, we want to lose weight.  When you decided that you wanted to do this, did you doubt that you could do it?  Did you think that you could do it, and then have someone else tell you that you wouldn't be able to do it, therefore, making you doubt yourself?  How do you think that this will affect your attempt?  If you have a bad day, do you just throw in the towel, and tell yourself that you knew you couldn't do it? I fall into this category.  I want to run a mile, but I have caught myself doubting that I will ever be able to do it.  I have doubted my ability to do this for many years. I justify the doubt by telling myself that I'm just not a runner.  Well, I want to get past that.  I really want to be able to run a mile.  I know that to accomplish this, I will have to constantly tel...

I'm Just Not Feeling It Today

I'm just not feeling it today.  The alarm clock goes off, and you don't want to get up.  You force yourself to get out of bed, but you just want to crawl back in.  You see yourself in the mirror, bed-head and all, and you think to yourself that it just takes way too much effort to get in the shower, to get dressed, to brush your hair, etc.  You decide it all can wait.  You make your way to the couch, and turn on the TV.   In the back of your mind, you may be thinking that you need to get up and exercise.  Maybe you need to do laundry, or go to the store.  You quickly push those thoughts aside.  The next thing you know, you have binge-watched 5 hours of Netflix, maybe even mindlessly eating.  You are suffering from a serious lack of motivation. Have this ever been you?  I'm guilty.  I've had days like this where my fitness tracker didn't track over 500 steps for the whole da...
