BELIEVE
The word ‘BELIEVE’ is an empowering and ‘heavy-weight’ word for me. For, without it — I would not be able to achieve the many things in my life that I cherish. If I didn’t believe I was smart I would not of applied to college as I was the first to go in my family and struggle with reading and learning the English language. If I didn’t believe I was capable I wouldn’t of pursued my education further and earned a master’s degree in community health education.
If I didn’t believe I was worthy of love I wouldn’t allowed myself to be vulnerable and emotionally accessible to my then boyfriend and now spouse of almost 14 years. I was raised by my single mom and felt abandoned by my biological father who did not have an interest in my life. I didn’t let that stop me from feeling love and giving love.
If I didn’t believe I could become healthy after gaining over 65 lbs with my first pregnancy (I even had people tell me that I was fat and that I let myself go — OUCH) I wouldn’t of taken the steps to start that long rewarding journey to health and wellness. All of this came to pass because I BELIEVED! Heck, I believed in me.
Lorna Jane’s 3 fold mission { MOVE, NOURISH, BELIEVE } of helping women live their best lives through active living resonates to me — deep inside. It is a complete and perfect formula to a happier and healthier existence. Isn’t this what we all want? Well, I will speak for myself – this is what I want to live a life that is full of joy — to be healthy in mind, body and spirit so I can lead effectively with purpose and passion. To love my husband and my children with all of me! Believing that I am capable to take on any tasks in life — and when those curve-balls come I will have the confidence and peace to ride those waves gracefully and resiliently.
I truly believe that our thoughts rule us! What we decide in our minds is what ultimately comes into fruition. We truly design our future with our thoughts. Our thoughts lead to words, and words lead to action and action leads to patterns and habits that mold our life. It sounds quite obvious but how many times have we allowed our negative thoughts from taking action (fear of embarrassment, judgement, failure, etc.,)? I will raise my hand first, and say I have.
So, my take home for you is to observe your thoughts – your beliefs. Control your thoughts – when they turn negative – acknowledge it and lovingly transform them to positive, nurturing, nourishing beliefs. Be gentle with yourself and love yourself unconditionally. When outside voices are trying to bring you down and when that negative self-talk is on autoplay — STOP and control your thoughts. Feed your mind with the word BELIEVE – remember this “believe in the me that believes in you.”
