Have you ever found yourself scrolling through Facebook or Instagram and found yourself thinking, “Wow those girls are killing it”? They are doing all the things, getting up and working out, prepping their meals, losing all the weight, or making elaborate daily lunches for their kids or dinners for their family, doing all the crafty things with a smile on their face….
You find yourself admiring them. You are happy for them, sure. But also wonder “Why am I not doing good enough”? And feel like you have so much farther to go.
But let’s take a second and look at how far you’ve come! Take a minute and give yourself a pat on the back.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the world of social media where we see things through strategically picked photos with heavily filtered lenses.
Don’t be fooled, you should see me on a daily basis LOL! I struggle daily. Between kids, work, being married, a business owner, managing my husbands business, PTO, soccer...I mean the list goes on and on, but there is always going to be something that gets in the way or gets you down. And you are not alone!
They struggle too, I’m sure.
Your story might look different from theirs and that’s OK.
Remember: You’re not doing this for a pretty Instagram picture. Or to get likes. You’re doing this for YOU and for YOUR life.
Its all about perspective.
I mean would you LOOK at how far you’ve come, no matter what stage you are in your life!? Take a look back at where you started!!
You might not be where you want to be yet but DANG! You are nowhere near where you once were. Everyone starts and ends in different places, and that’s ok.
Don’t ever lose sight of how much YOU have accomplished and how much work YOU have out in.
We are our own worst critics sometimes, but I am here to urge you to reflect on your journey and have some grace for yourself. You are doing the best YOU can do right now and that’s enough! So just keep going!!
