Keeping it real


Self love comes from within this can take weeks, days and months to develop love for who you are and what your body looks like.
I was reading a book keeping it real by Makaia Carr her story was something for the first time I could relate to. When I was 25 years old I had a tonic clonic seziure which led me to be in hospital and got tested for epilepsy which was the hardest thing to be told that you have this condition I never knew about all my life, I was heart broken. Even though I went through the seziure situation as a child and never really knew why until I was 25 years old. However, my brother's suicide left had left big impact on me and for 10 years I suffered depression along with suicidal thoughts. For 5 years I was my most fittest working out 5 days a week working out 5 days a week and studied personal training which didn't workout for me. I was thin and toned until 2 years ago I had both knees injured, I couldn't walk at all. I ripped the muscles around the knees and that set me back on my journey to being fit. I gained weight and had emotional issues wasn't getting support from the person I thought was my best friend, so... I had mum doing all the work nursing me as I couldn't walk at all! It was a painful experience that made me start to not like my body. My soul felt hurt by others in my past as I was abused physically, mentally and emotionally. Took me a long time to accept myself. I started to accept myself more by studying life coaching then came across Gala Darling who is a popular blogger from New Zealand who now lives in New York USA, Gala Darling wrote a book called The radical self love the best investment I made.

I started reading Keeping it real in August 2018 and it has made a big difference in my life. I started working out for 2 days in a row and continue to do so, I watched a film documentary called embrace by Taryn Bumfitt it was eye opening experience made me want to love how my body is now look after it more than normal.
Below is before and after pictures of me I have learned to embrace the stretch marks you should too!
I was a size 10-12 now size 16-18 most jeans don't fit my wide hips but I am learning how to embrace my body watching a program called looking good naked was an eye opener too. I hope you learn to embrace yourself as well.

 Truths to inner peace  We all seek inner peace: the calm, clarity, and contentment that comes from falling into a harmonious balance with our internal self. But despite how essential inner peace is in finding true happiness, many of us don’t know where to start on this journey of personal growth and transformation. In today’s hectic and ever-changing world, inner peace may seem like a foreign concept, but cultivating it doesn't require huge life changes like moving to Bali.

Overview The 8 universal truths for inner peace include: Our imagination often causes us more suffering than reality does; We are not free if we cannot control ourselves; Everyone must choose one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret; when we really don’t need to. No matter how anxious we may be, it won't change the course of events that are bound to happen; we got to change how  W...

Unlock your full potential: self improvement  Personal development is any activity that makes you a better person. Its goal is to give you more confidence and make you a happier, more satisfied individual. It concerns itself with improving awareness, honing talents, developing emotional intelligence and building your appreciation of yourself and all of your attributes. As with any significant undertaking, but especially one that can be as life-changing as personal development, it’s worth taking a deep look at why it is undertaken, or what your motivation should be before taking it on.  Motivation is the fuel that will keep you going as you discover and create the best version of yourself.

By reminding yourself of what your purpose or bottom line is, you are more likely to have the self-mo...
