OMG the last few weeks have taught me so much. Its like I have literally woken up in epiphany soap episode.
Here’s my week long lessons.
Lesson 1
I was so eager to fight even though I knew I wasn’t ready because I wanted to go and test myself. Er – Hello – Der the ring is the last place I should wanna do that. Lol I learnt that preparation is everything. If your not ready embarrassing yourself to show it doesn’t prove anything to anyone!
Lesson 2
There is a thin line between reasons and excuses. A real thin line. So me having a baby/toddler is challenging, my sleep is still being interrupted, this week I felt crap plus I broke out in hormonal spots! Ahhh However when you really want and are passionate about something you find the time and energy to do it, regardless. (Para-olympics spring to mind) So I must admit my motivation is dwindling rapidly. I want this journey to be over, not sure whether I can keep my enthusiasm.
Yes I know I wanted to do it, but I’m just keeping it real up in here!
Lesson 3
Somethings are just not that important. Sometimes we stress over the little things, bath before bed, cleaning the floor, folding the clothes,doing the washing up, and other mudane chores. But really, are they really that bloody important?! Doesn’t life go on, could they be postponed. Is my rest not more important? I say YES!!! I’m not getting any younger, Oil of Ulay is outdated and as long as no one comes around for dinner or intends on licking my skin then its all good.
Lesson 4
Resting and relaxation does not mean only when you sleep. Its important that I know when to turn off, whether its reading, having a few moments silence from the hustle and bustle. Learning to take some time out can be so enjoyable and actually re-energise you for the day or week! Just taking my daughter guilt free in the middle of the day to the park and meeting a new friend for lunch was lovely and a well needed break. Monotony killed the video kid.
Lesson 5
Sometimes you just gotta learn to be your own fan club. As adults we still crave for that approval, pat on the back type of pep talk, that ‘your doing great kid’ or ‘wow look at you’. Not that you constantly crave it but sometimes when you are working over and above you just want some frikkin appreciation or acknowledgment. But when there is no one to give it to you. What do you do? Start blogging! lol No. You gotta give it to yourself, you ‘big yourself’ up. Remind yourself how well your doing and then reward yourself with love and care.
Look in the mirror and say – I am somebody! I maybe tired, spotty, worn out with dishes full to the sink but damn it I love me. I WILL sit on the couch scratching my arse and not get up just because I deserve it. Now pass me the low-fat tasteless ice cream!
