Time to Dig Deep, Reset & Refresh

Time to Dig Deep, Reset & Refresh

Dig Deep. Reset. Refresh. This email was a hard one to write. It's officially 2021.  After a really rough 2020 I know a lot of people are ready for a change. For all the "covid" things to be done, to be able to get back to our regularly scheduled programming and just feel normal again. Whatever that new normal looks like. Which for me honestly not much has changed, but everything has changed. My vision and heart for this blog has shifted, it's back to the reason I started it 8 years ago. To make a difference. A change. To feed your heart and your tummy with the nutrients it needs. The main story So while I'm sure you've set desires or goals of what you'd like this new year to look like I want to ask you. Why do you have those goals? What are those goals? Where does that goal come from? For me. I have always lived a healthy lifestyle. But I've never told you why? Yes, I was an athlete my entire life. Yes I love fitness and it outlet. But, the main reason. When I dig really deep is .... I've seen those VERY close to me struggle with body image and living a healthy lifestyle my entire life. I've seen them be judged, criticized and beat down even more than they were already doing in their own head. I've wanted to be healthy because I didn't want to be like that. Seeing the "bully" or hearing the verbal attacks made me .. not want to give someone the excuse to bully me. So I stayed healthy, worked out. Good or Bad.  The ironic thing is I still struggled mentally even though I was healthy. I still heard those words that were spoken over the other person like they were spoken over me. So I struggle with body image and self worth, 2020 I became very aware of that. And I was done. It was time for a change. It was time to make those thoughts ... i.e. "lies in my head" obedient to the truth. Capturing the thoughts because I am in control of the reel of highlights that is playing in my head.  My reset this year is to reset and refresh my mind and thought life .... so that I can be an example for my sweet daughter and son. I want them to be confident and KNOW who they are! The world does not define them. They do! What is your reset this year? Fitness Are you wanting to be more consistent with your fitness routine? Toxin Free Living Do you want to replace the toxins in your house and live a more natural lifestyle?  Eat Healthier Maybe you just want to eat healthier and help you family start to love eating that way too. Or just help them realize eating healthy doesn't have to be kale chips and kombucha.  Whatever your goals or desires are this year. Just know. I'm here! I'm here to encourage you. To challenge you. To feed you. To answer your questions. To let you know that you're not alone. :) Love y'all! (that's Texan for "you all") Copyright © 2021 Joyful Healthy Eats, All rights reserved.
