Positively Weightless

A healthy life not only means physically healthy, but mentally as well. Healthy eating, healthy exercising habits, and a positive attitude are all important and help maintain balance in life. I decided to combine my love of writing and my positivity to change the world in hopes that any reader can also become positively weightless, and lead them to a healthy life.

So many things in life take patience and so many of us are lacking in it. I know I have a problem with patience sometimes. When I am stuck in traffic and just want to get through the next light. When I am really hungry after a workout and my meal still has to cook. When I buy tickets to see Niall Horan 9 months before the concert and we are still months away(ugh)! Just silly little things in life like that cause us to be impatient, but I think there are plenty of big things in life that need patience as well, and many of us lose patience when waiting for them to happen.

Weight loss is a really big example of this. I know I would love to be down a little more than I am right now. I have been working hard, going to the gym 4 days a week now, eating as best as I can (but not perfectly of course, my diet still needs some work but I am working on it all the time), and am only down about 20 lbs since the beginning of the year. A lot of people would have gotten frustrated at this point and given up. Many people would have fallen right back into their old ways and habits simply because they are not seeing the results they want at the pace they want and think they should. I have been guilty of that in the past I will admit. If you find yourself in this place and mindset you need to take a step back and realize that things take time. Everyone's body is different and you will lose weight at the pace that is right for you. Be patient. If you are doing the things you need to in order to be healthier, the results will come to you if you stick through and be patient.

Patience isn't only important in weight loss either. So many aspects in life take patience. All of the great things in life do not come to us easily and a lot of the time do not come when we really want and expect them to. Rewind to about 2 years ago and I was very new on my positive journey that I am still on now and in a very different place. I was working a different job that at the salary I was making could not even consider moving out on my own. Back then I was really wanting to be in a relationship and finding love. I saw people my age around me doing all these things and was getting frustrated because I couldn't have them. I finally found patience and positivity. I am now on the road to finally moving out on my own. Buying items I will need first and have a solid plan for myself to do so. I have a plan in motion so I am fully ready instead of just rushing to be out on my own and struggling. I now also know that love can't be forced and that the right person will come along right when he is suppose to. No sooner or later than that. I have realized that my life is my own and I need to be patient in order to live the happiest life. I am being patient and waiting for my life to go exactly like it is planned to be.

Your life is entirely your own and all the things you want will come to you at the time it is suppose to. Stop reading statistics on weight loss and realize that your body will lose it at the pace that is right for you. The best things in life are worth waiting for. Stop letting the jealousy you feel for what others around you have affect all of the thoughts you have about your own life. I know some things are very hard to be patient about (trust me I still get very impatient when I am stuck in traffic on my way to work) but the big things are more than worth being patient for. They will make the reward that much sweeter in the end, and you can look back and realize you knew this great life was exactly what was coming for you. Instead of rushing and settling, you had the patience to wait for just what was meant for you.

Not too long ago I wrote a post about the beautiful influences in our lives. The people in our lives that influence us in a positive way and the ones we have a positive influence on as well. While I was driving a week or so ago I got to thinking about all the people in my life that I should thank for one reason or another. Some for very obvious reasons but others for surprising reasons. I wanted to dedicate this next post to all of those people. The ones I want to thank for so many different reasons. Think of it as the Thank You Notes that Jimmy Fallon does on his show, but not in a comedic way.

First of all thank you to all of the people in my life that have stuck by me no matter what. No matter who you are, life has its ups and downs. The people that stick around during the downs make celebrating the ups even better. In my case, I have both friends and my family that fall under this category. I am very lucky that I have such supportive parents and a sister that has my back no matter what. I won’t drop any names but there are also friends that have been by my side during thick and thin as well. It is easy to be a friend to a person during the good times, but it is never easy to stick by them during the bad. Thank you to those that have. Thank you to my family that has as well. No matter how nuts we drive each other sometimes, I know we'll always have one another to depend on.

Thank you to the friends that are there even if we have not stayed in touch in a long time. I think everybody has certain friends that they go months and sometimes even years without talking to or seeing, but when they do see each other again it is as if no time has passed. They are always there no matter what as well and when I need them the most. I can think of a handful of people that fall under this as well. Even if we haven't spoken in a while they are always there.

Thank you to the new people in my life as well that act as if they have been around forever. The people that even though they may be newer in my life, they feel like they have been here forever. A person who pushes me to be my best no matter what no matter how long I have known them. I can think of a few off the top of my head, but one more specifically that since I have known them has always encouraged me to be my best self and strive for all that I am capable of. Not once have they ever doubted me and showed me just what I needed to see to believe in myself.

Thank you to the ones that have betrayed, disappointed, or broken my heart. This list of thank yous wasn’t going to be all good people. Even the bad ones have greatly influenced my life. These people helped teach me a lesson and even if it hurt at first, it made me realize so much. I now know what not to look for in a person that I allow into my life. I may have kept my heart guarded at first, but now it is even more open than ever before for that right person. Thank you for showing me just why you did not belong in my life, and exactly what type of person is. Any bitterness that was once there is completely gone because I now know what I deserve. Now the door for new people in my life is open even wider than it was before because I learned so much from you.

I honestly could go on and on and on with this list and this blog post. My main point is to show that people walk in and out of our lives all the time. Some stay, some go, some return after some time but they all have one thing in common. They all have an impact on our lives and we can learn so much from our interactions with them. What matters is how we learn and change moving forward from these people in our lives. All the laughs and all the tears should be used to make our lives even greater.
