“Beauty Within”
“Thought of the day”
Love yourself, it is important to stay positive because beauty comes from the inside.
“Outer beauty pleases the EYE. Inner beauty captivates the HEART.” Today, I want to focus on ourselves. It’s so important that we take care of ourselves. As moms we are always running, cleaning, taking care of the family, but in order to do that we first have to take care of ourselves. I had to really work on this (I still do) but came to reality that if I don’t take care of me than I’m no good to my family! I need sleep and food to think properly. I use to get up and go and go and go and before you knew it, it was 2 o’clock and I hadn’t had a bite to eat. I would become exhausted and I would become weak. I was no fun to be around. It’s so important that we take care of our bodies so we have the energy to take care of our family. If I have very little sleep, I try to take a 20 minute bath. Research shows that taking a 20 minute bath is like having two hours of sleep. It really has helped! Heart disease is the number death in women in their 40s, 50s and 60s. My mother was only 59 years old when she had a heart attack. It was very unexpected! We live in a busy world, learn to give yourself the proper care so we can take care of our most precious gifts! I don’t exercise like I should but I try to when I can. I was making my daughter’s bed yesterday and just between putting sheets on and her comforter on, I did squats. I try to think of ways to benefit my heath so I can stay focused, cheery, and heathy for my families’ sake. If we feel good, people can tell. When we are cranky, people can tell. Once you replace negative habits with positive habits it gets easier. One step at a time. Trust me, you will feel better and your family will thank you for it, your body will thank you for it! I know when I feel great, my attitude is great! I’m positive, I’m energetic, I’m happy! I don’t care what you look like on the outside, if your attitude is ugly, I believe you become unattractive! Beauty within is the real beauty! Love yourself, take care of yourself, and it will make it easier to love and care for others! We are our worst critics but stop! God made you just how he wanted you! I have so many flaws to me but I know what the Bible says: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made…Psalm 139:14! So, even though I think I have many flaws, I know who created me and he makes no mistakes. There’s a purpose for my life, he has a plan for everyone. So stay positive! Love! Give! Be beautiful on the inside and let your light shine! I love when I get a complement like, “You must be a Christian.” Tells me that my attitude is on point. Take care of you! Well, I hope that encourages someone today. Give me your thoughts or some of your advice, I would love to hear some great advice.
