Today I have a phrase I want you to say out loud...
There has been a lot of lovin’ going around today. I am imagining you said Happy Valentine’s Day to lots of people in your life whether it was a spouse or a partner, your kids or your friends, maybe even your coworkers... but don’t forget to say it to yourself before the end of the night.
Valentine’s Day couldn't have come at a better time because it’s about six weeks since the New Year started. You had goals you may or may not have started and usually right about now you start to think that you haven’t done enough.
I am here to tell you, you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing, unless you’re sitting on the couch. LOL And even if you are sitting on the couch, let the judgment go because the only thing that it’s doing is holding you back.
To keep going and move forward with your dreams and your goals you’ve got to have a positive attitude and you’ve got to start loving yourself.
Gosh that sounds cheesy, but you know what, sometimes cheesy is the truth.
Social Share:
I want to share with you a post I put out on social media this week. My apologies if you have already seen it but I want to really drive this message home, so here it is.
The picture below was posted on my Monday Instagram & Facebook feeds:

“Ok, I will admit this pic was a BUST! This is me doing “the fake run” LOL. But I’m okay putting it out there because this was my first “action” photoshoot ever. And beside my engagement/wedding photos, it was only the 2nd time I met with a photographer. The point…
It’s the time of the New Year when you start thinking about quitting on your goals because things are not turning out the way you thought they would. Maybe you thought you would have lost more weight, had six pack abs by now or you’d be waking up singing every morning with boundless energy.
The reality: Life doesn’t work that way. You’ve got the keep moving forward one step at a time and work through the crud to get to the good stuff. How? Look at the positive and have a sense of humor.
I look at this picture and laugh. But I also look at this picture and say I’m proud of myself for doing something a little uncomfortable (which you may not know is being in front of a camera) to get closer to my dreams and goals.
Keep Moving, my friend! One step forward means you are that much closer to your dream.”
Did you hear that?
Every step you take, moving in a forward direction, gets you closer to your goals & dreams.
And when you do that, it’s like giving yourself the BIGGEST HUG EVER!
What better way to love yourself than to take care for your health, positively go after your dreams and make new strides everyday.
Here’s a hug from me to you, to say:
“I believe in you, keep moving forward, my friend”.
With Love,
Janine
