Taking Control of YOU

CHOICES: NUTRITION. LIFE. LOVE.

Make sure you are making your own choices in life. And be proud of them.

Provide yourself with the proper nutrition your body deserves. Fresh is best.

Live each day as if it were your last - we never know how long we have. Enjoy it.

Love yourself first. The rest will follow.

For those of you who are unclear, there really is an important meaning behind the name of my blog. It came to me fairly easily because, in my opinion, so many people seem to be so worried about what others think when it comes to any part of their lives - from what they wear, to what they eat, to who they love. When, in turn, they should actually be taking control of their own thoughts - and lives.

Now that I have three little ones of my own these three topics are of even more importance to me. You can interpret each one anyway you'd like and how they fit into your life, but just remember that we each have the capability to make our own decisions. Those decisions are not always going to be the right ones, but we can learn from them. And that's OK.

I feel its important to remind ourselves often that we have the choice to decide how we let others affect us. We are the ones who allow others to make us feel inferior, or insignificant, or unaccepted. But we have the choice to live our lives the way we want - through proper nutrition, living life to its fullest, and loving how we deserve to be loved. Its really that simple. If we live our lives in this manner then hopefully we can pass this positive self-acceptance into our own children. There is nothing that would make me happier.
