Learn To Love Life

Hi! There really aren’t many people, if any who consistently read this blog, but I don’t know, I find it fun to update it. Plus, it’s a bit therapeutic to write this out in a way that if someone was following along, I’d want to be encouraging. But, when it comes to myself, I’m just critical of everything I do. If I am critical in this blog then I worry that I will influence someone else to not believe in themself.

Plus, that’s what this page is all about: learning to love life. Part of that is just letting go of the things that don’t work. Part of that is loving ourselves and being happy with where we are. We aren’t able to properly love life if we aren’t appreciating everything that our body and mind does for us.

So, I have not kept up with that new 100 day plan. It just didn’t work. I think there was too much going on to be able to keep up with that. Now at first that might seem like I’m failing. To be honest, that’s my first thought. But, let’s go through this together. Did I stop tracking what I have been doing yes? Does that mean that I haven’t been doing anything? No! Not at all! For one thing, I have been a reading POWERHOUSE! I’ve been reading every day and blowing through books.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t been exercising the way that I wanted to with that plan, but I am okay with that. I have been putting so much effort toward other things that are just as, if not more important.

I have also been able to continue journaling when I feel like I need it. In the past week or so, I have gotten back into reading in my bible. I am connecting myself back to my faith that I have missed so much.

I also got very discouraged by a bad grade that I got on an exam. It was really hard to get that grade when I am used to getting As. But, also I can’t be that upset, because I really didn’t put any effort into it. Which that just made me angry at myself.

But! I’m taking it as a learning opportunity. I learned that for this particular class I need to be putting in more effort. I learned that I need to switch up the way that I am studying in general. So, then I put my new plan into action. I’m not sure what I got on the test just yet, but I am anticipating something that is at least better than before.

And that’s what it’s all about. Improving. That’s what everything is about. I don’t need to focus on being the best that there is, but focus on bettering myself. That’s one of the main points that was started with this blog anyway.

So, here I am reminding me, and you, that we are not failing. If we learned something from this, then it was not a waste of time. How are you supposed to learn if there is never anything to learn from. Hype yourself up. And when that person closest to you is trying to remind you of how much you matter and how much you know, let them. From first hand experience, it can be easy to just let everything they say to just go past you. It might just seem like they are just saying it to be nice. I promise you they aren’t. It’s true.

And if you don’t have someone telling you that, here I am. I’m telling you that you are loved, enough, smart, capable, successful, and beautiful inside and out.

Live Love Life, Yvie
