Living in the Present

Every day Timehop shows me the person I once was… the person who was excited and motivated about diet and fitness. Lately, it’s been so difficult to find my way back to that person. But… do I really want to be her?

Every experience we go through lends itself to the person we become. You don’t grow from moving backwards, yes you learn from the past, but you only grow when you choose to move forward… and in order to move forward you need to stop living in the “back when” and “some day” and start living in the present.

So much is out of our control, but we are essentially in control of what we decide to do in each moment… and even if it might not be the best choice for us, it is a choice that we are choosing to make and we need to own it.

This is something that is so much easier said than done and will take more work than I ever realized… but I am a work in progress after all 😇.
