is everything really as it seems on social media??

as someone in the beginning stages of their running journey with a history of an unhealthy relationship with exercise, and an injured hip... running was always something I never thought would be something I could take up! this year I have worked on shifting my mindset and finding my 'why' for running and listened to my bodies needs - because of this I have found an amazing, healthy balance with running and although its hard, I'm so happy I've started :)

The actions of people around us when were little actually have such a big effect on us as adults!

diving into why I don't like the word 'flattering' yet so many people use it.. like what is wrong with the way my body is without accentuating parts of it??? also, being more in tune with ourselves so we can start prioritising what is important to us without getting overwhelmed :)
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
you ARE seriously the main character in your life and we can all be guilty of sacrificing how were feeling in order to come across a certain way.. but we need to start living for ourselves and being there for ourselves in order to help us become the person we are striving to become :) ily xoxo

a lot of the time it can be easy to take our own problems out on the people around us and it can be hard to take a step back and be like 'hang on a minute, this actually has nothing to do with them and everything to do with me' - we are responsible of working on our problems and bettering ourselves instead of relying on someone else to take on our problems and do this for us!.. I hope this helps <3 ily! xoxo

Sometimes I felt as though I would drink because it's 'just what teens do' - it may have brought me excitement for parts of my life but times change and so do we! It's okay to re-learn ourselves and learn what brings us happiness and enjoyment, instead of just going with what makes others feel this way :) Learn about the different stages in my teen years and how society and drinking culture has affected me along the way..

my whole life I have been a people pleaser and that comes from a really kind place in my heart, but when this is directed to the people who don't reciprocate - it can become quite draining. People know they can walk all over me and treat me like a mug, 2023 is the year to make a change by having the respect for myself to stand my ground and remember it doesn't make me a bad person (even though it might feel that way lol) we got this besties, you deserve to be treated fairly💕

as were making our way through the start of 2023, its so easy to compare ourselves with others and their goals for the year and get lost in it!
