New Year Project: Disliking, Accepting, and Loving my Body

When it comes down to it I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to my body. There are many things that I don't like when it comes to the reflection in the mirror. 

• Cellulite on my thighs
• Stretchmarks on my stomach and shoulder
• Love handles

Other than the three items listed above I am very well in love with my body. I have learn to accept my body and love myself for who I am being that I am the only one like me and no else can be just like me. 

Instead of accepting the fact that I was overweight and just being blah about it I decided to start working out. Seeing the changes in my body made me enjoy it even more and adopt a new healthy lifestyle.

Do you havee a love/hate relationship with your body and if so how do you handle it?

New Year Project: Next year, I want to look back and be proud that I ____.

At the beginning of each some of us take a moment to reflect on our past year and chart up new goals. Sometimes those are that same from last because we didn't quite make the mark. 

Next year, I want to look back and be proud that I won't have to recycle and of this years goals since that have been accomplished. 

Next year, I want to look back and be proud that I achieved self-awareness and true happiness. I want to get to the point where I can
truly say I know who I am and happy with myself.


Next year, I want to look back and be proud that I have advanced in my spiritually and gained a better relationship with the Lord.  

Who knows, maybe I will have a lot of other things to be proud about next year. 

What do you want to be proud about next year?
