I’m becoming the best version of myself by setting hard goals and reaching further everyday than I thought possible the day before. I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints and recently completed the Book of Mormon challenge for the first time. It seemed like a daunting task, but all it took was choosing to do it every day. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I got stuck in a rut after having my first child. I felt like I had no energy anymore and had gained a bunch of weight. After completing the reading challenge, I was reminded whose I was, that I can do hard things, and that we reach our goals one day at a time. So I set some goals. I went from not working out to working out 6 days a week. I started small, giving myself a 15 minute minimum. I’m now 50 days in, excluding Sundays and my mental game has completely changed. I feel like I’m in control of my life again! Another goal was to practice another language daily. It’s a ton of fun. Feeling better physically allows me to be a better mother and partner to my husband who is working and in school full-time. I love how interconnected everything is. And how, after practicing some self-care it feels like I have more time in my day.
