Fit Little Steps to Happiness: Personal Development

Treating Myself

1:05 PM

I have been working hard in my business to teach some goals I've set. And I did it!

I reached success club! (Want to know what Success Club is? Check in here.) With almost three weeks to spare! So today while my kiddies were at my in-laws I treated myself to a mani and pedi while I read an amazing book about personal growth. I am so thankful for this book. I am learning so much and it has helped me grow my business.

I love what I do! Changing lives is amazing. ‪

A Good Mom

1:17 PM

This past week has been a great week. What made it a great week? Well. I decided to stop being "mean mom" as my 2 year old had recently calling me. I had been stressed and have had no patience.

I decided Monday that this has to stop. I need to be a happier mom. I need to savor this time in our life. So I made a conscious choice and made more of an effort to be more present in my kids life.

I started by getting up early. Reading my personal development books. Getting in my workout as early in the day as possible. We started going to the park everyday, going for walks, having picnics, and playing. We turned off the iPad more. We are staying busy with errands. I stopped obsessing on whether I got the house cleaned or if they got their clothes dirty.

It's amazing how all of these little things have lead us to have a happier week. We have created great memories. And a bonus is that Rhees hasn't fought bedtime this entire week!

Now I know keeping this up will be difficult and their will be days that things don't go smoothly. But I am choosing to be happy and making an effort and that's what counts. ‪#‎happyhealthymom‬ #happykids

BE YOU!

1:30 PM

Lately, I have really been working on really being myself. I have always had a tendency to be a "people pleaser". Now, to some of you this may not seem like a negative thing, everyone around you is happy. However overtime, I have come to realize that although everyone else is happy, it is at the expense of you. Deep down, you are not happy. You are struggling and no one sees it because you focus on pleasing everyone else.

The below quote has really helped put things in perspective for me.

"Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be YOU!!"

I am striving to live each day as me, and focus obtaining my happiness while helping others reach theirs. But not at the expense of mine.
