In the last 8 weeks, I have been stretched, pushed and pulled to the outer most limits mentally, physically and physiologically. Yet still I rise. Still I push forward. And even though the fear has been great, this ish is not going to take me down yet. When the negative chatter starts, I isolate it, understand where it is coming from and take its moment away. But in all this, there has been peace in despair. Relief in stress. I'm stronger than this temporary moment. I'm more than this flipping scale. I am way stronger than this constant nagging autoimmune disease and the daily dull ebbing pain it brings. And confidence outside of that damn comfort zone. I can keep pushing, or I can let the lack take me under. Hope will live with me. That I will invite to stay. This is not a sad post. This is an awakening one. This is an awareness of status quo and mediocrity. I choose to rise above. Won't you join me? . #strength #embraceyou #zen #comfortzone #takenoshit #LoveYourself #IChooseHope #IChooseStrength #IChooseConfidence #IChooseMe #MayaAngelou #LoveOverFear #HealthyLifestyleCoach
