This time a year ago, I finally decided I was going to commit to a work out routine. I had been eating well for a few months and had lost some weight, so it felt like a good transition. My mindset was "one day at a time." To me there was no point to overwhelm myself thinking about months or years in the future. Really, I am only promised today, so might as well make the most of it and focus one day at a time. When I completed my work out program 30 days later I felt amazing! It was the first time in a long time that I felt great about myself in my fitness journey. From that point it just blossomed. I loved the idea of loving myself from the inside and out. The more self love I bring, the more love I can give to others. Now I want to continue to eat healthy and exercise, because it makes me happy and these actions show that I love myself.
I know this could sound strange and completely narcissistic, but it's real and it works! Give yourself a big hug! Tell yourself that you are amazing. Say this out loud, "I love me," and really mean it :)

Remember beauty is on the inside and outside.
