Topic: Taking Personal Responsibility

So…there’s not product review this week. I have been wrapping my mind around getting back into the school routine this week and I realized I have a lot more work today. I honestly don’t enjoy waking up early anymore and it’s something that negatively impacts my daily output as far as I’m concerned. But (so I can get back on topic), I’ve realized that while there’s so many areas of my life that I’ve become consistent there are still plenty that are inconsistent. This is how the road got led back to personal responsibility. Right now I’m in a fragile state of not being as healthy as I want and should be, but far from where I started yet still not seeing the results I want from my hard work. 

For anyone that knows me or has been following me, I’ve been on a consistent weight loss journey for about 2 years. I do workouts nearly everyday and I have been more conscious of my daily eating habits. Naturally, this has yielded weight loss results. The flip side is that my body likes to fight me. I have no idea why. I have had so many tests run on me (I know I need to go back to the doctor because aside from my OB-GYN it’s been years), but there’s nothing that indicates there should be a problem. I get that aging also impacts this, but I feel like I’m still in the age group that it shouldn’t have this great of an impact. This is where personal responsibility hit me square in the face. The number 1 rule when beginning weight loss is going to the doctor to ensure everything is on the up and up. Your regimen should be tailored around those results. I know this and yet I have failed to follow sound advice. Because I haven’t gone to the doctor I don’t get as frustrated when my body goes wonky on me even though I’m doing the work. Another area that I struggle with is meal prep. Back in the day, I had no problems at all with knowing what meals I would be eating and putting myself into position to have that. Now…I just can’t. For a while I completely fell of the wagon, but now I’m doing much better with being mindful of what’s going into my body so that it can produce the best results. Of course this is only one portion of my life that this applies.

This biggest area currently is what I would consider my lack of results. I feel like I should be further in life than I currently am. Jokingly I say things about being sponsored, but please believe that apart of my goals is to get paid to do this. I’m consistent now because this really is a space for me to release and be me, but I want to make a contribution financially to my family without sacrificing time and being on someone else’s schedule. Comparison is the killer of self esteem to most, but I use it as a means for “research”. There are so many women doing what I want to do (and being paid for it) and the one thing I have to admit to myself is that I’m not putting in the work required to get the results. It’s hard to admit to myself often and yet the more I can be honest the more likely I will finally get into position to start. I have to be more interactive on social media (this is really one of my biggest downfalls….It’s so time consuming) as well as being making videos. I said when virtual school started I was going to get myself together and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. This is week 1 and we’ve had some minor issues, but I’m currently planning on how to arrange my space to get the best videos and will be using what I currently have on hand versus waiting until I get “the perfect” setup. If I don’t have the success I want…it’s on me! I know I’m not the only person that struggles here so I want to say it out loud so you know you’re not alone!

Is it Worth it: YES….doing the work always yields results. I won’t lie and say it will always be the ones you want, but something is always more than nothing.

Do you have something you’re currently not taking personal responsibility that you need to work on?

First of all I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind.

I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
mind before writing. I have had trouble clearing my mind
in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying
to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
Kudos!

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.

But think about if you added some great visuals
or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images
and clips, this website could undeniably be one of the very best
in its field. Excellent blog!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to
make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why
waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something
enlightening to read?

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any
issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My website has a lot of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it seems
a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being ripped off?
I'd genuinely appreciate it.

Heya superb blog! Does running a blog such as this require a large
amount of work? I've absolutely no understanding of programming but I had
been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyway, should you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I know this is off topic nevertheless I just needed to ask.
Thank you!

Have you ever thought about including a
little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you
say is fundamental and everything. But just imagine if you added some great
photos or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could
certainly be one of the best in its field. Amazing blog!
