Self love.

I've decided to use this blog as a platform for me to get stuff off my chest. To just write... whether it be about my business, or myself, or the things I do and so forth...

Right now I am on a path to find self love. I am sick and tired of looking in the mirror every day and hating on myself. Whats the point? Where is this getting me? No where fast. 

I want to be happy, always.. or as frequently as i darn well can be. And I am talking about body love, and mental love, and just love everything about myself. 

So this is the journey I am on now. The journey of self love. I hope its a fun one!

Stay tuned for my daily self love posts/tips.

Gotta try this! Bake a banana with a little bit of olive oil and honey at 350 f for 30 mins. Take it out (it'll look caramelized) and spread peanut butter on it. *drools*

Be your own inspiration

I’m sure everyone has someone that they look up to. Whether it be a chef, an athlete, a family member or coworker! It is fantastic to have people to look up to. Positive role models….people that set an example!

Here is a question though…. Have you ever looked inside yourself to be your own inspiration? It is so easy in life to go around self hating and looking for the negatives! It is so easy to look at someone else and wish you had what they had. To look in the mirror and pick apart what you see.

I had the fortunate (at the time not so fortunate) luck to find myself as my new inspiration. I had a role model. Someone that I looked up to soooo much! Everything on line about her seemed like she was so genuine, and such an amazing giving person… Not to mention her physique and her holistic outlook on life seemed superb! A local Toronto and international fitness celebrity known for her hourglass figure WAS my total inspiration. I was very excited the first time she came into my work…. And although she was quite unfriendly I gave her the benefit of the doubt. After her third time coming in with her nose in the air I started to understand who she was. A fourth encounter involved her bringing me to tears. It is very heartbreaking to have someone i held so highly tell me off for something that was not my fault. Being the emotional being that I am I let her know how disappointed I was. In reply to her email asking me what she did wrong, i was extremely nice to her. I told her why I looked up to her and why I no longer do….

This is when I was let go from my job. For stalking and harassing said “celeb” and having a group of girls gang up on her.

I am still in shock with the outcome of events. Being fired from my job for a blatant lie, and something so far from my character. (This all happened months ago. I am currently with a new company that respects and values me much more!)

I am however thankful for this situation. I found my strength. I looked inside and found that I do not need someone to inspire me. Yes I still have people that I look up to and think are amazing (friends and family… You know how much I love Dana Linn bailey! Haha) but most of all, I look inward now.

How can you be truly happy without loving yourself? Why do I love myself?

-when I set my mind to things I always accomplish them

-I have a very open mind

-I have discovered how strong my willpower and determination are

-I am a truth teller.

-I have a strong desire to help people

-I am empathetic and compassionate

-I’m a bad ass cook

-I am always learning. My mind is a sponge and I have the drive to keep continuing my education to share with the world.

-Although i may not look in the mirror everyday and love what I see physically, I am learning to love my body more and more and I want to help women everywhere feel this way.

I encourage you to look in the mirror and tell yourself why you love yourself. Dig deep and find your inner empowerment. Self love is so important! You do not need others to be your daily motivation. Be your own motivation. Yes I will always have people that I look up to… As you should too…. But most of all look to yourself and be your own true inspiration ♥
