I began walking this week. Prior to the ridiculous journey, I had completed a 1/2 marathon and was doing pretty good with my weight and heading towards a healthier and thinner self. So a year and a month after diagnoses I started walking again. Last week I start to drink celery juice in the morning and this week I reintroduced walking with a slight jog. Yes, slight jog!

So today’s Aaptiv walk was about energy and self talk. As we all know we are our own worse critic. Are we too fat, too slow, pretty enough. We are taught to compete with each other in an early age. Especially as women! Are we Barbie or ugly Betty? The truth is no one truly focuses that much on us. Then we come to our own energy.

Do an inventory of whom you are around. Your five closet people. Do they give you energy, or do they suck it out of you. Go through you mind and evaluate them. Just as you would evaluate your quarterly, monthly or yearly goals. What’s working and what’s not. Do you need to reach out to a few people that are positive and give good energy to you. Do you have to eliminate some negative people. You know those people that can only bring out the worst in you.

Part of self healing is the art of studying yourself. We need to continually study our habits, emotions, and actions. We shall never stop learning about ourselves until our death. We live in a society of being the best in our jobs, in our activities but do we invest enough time in being our best self? Weather it is adding a clean habit this week or reintroducing a exercise regimen. We all need to focus on our own best self!

So for today my self talk is, you are awesome and headed to my own best self. Through cleaner eating and walking. You will continue to focus and devote time to you!

I am blessed! I got this!

Funny, as I finish todays blog I noticed, I do give myself positive talk. I always end with I am blessed! I got this. Comment and let me know what is your positive self talk?

That’s Kevin and Jane un back!
