IT DOESN'T GET EASIER, YOU GET STRONGER




Your past slips up and mistakes do NOT define who you are! Mistakes mean you are trying, and let’s face it we are all human. I think we slip up, make mistakes, and we fall. But it is what to do after you stumble or fall that defines you. As the famous saying goes, “fall down 8x and get up 9x”, get up on the 9th time standing stronger than ever. Remember just because you messed up your MEAL PLAN or you’ve missed the gym a few times doesn’t mean that it is over or you’re a failure. It means you are trying and you are human.
You are not alone because reality slap everyone, and we make mistake. WE ALL GO THROUGH IT. I binged on cookies so what! You did it and it happened. Don’t dwell on it, because you can’t take it back. BUT! You can learn from it and move forward. It’s not one slip up that defines you or your journey but what you do AFTERWARDS, that defines it. Let it fuel you to be stronger for the next craving and eventually your WILL POWER will increase. A slip up doesn’t mean you’re defeated and it’s over. We all have moments of weakens especially early in our fitness journeys.
Also, don’t forget the reason you started your journey. We often meet goals only to return back to old habits thinking our journey is over. Not even close! We should always keep ourselves consistent and not let one indulgence turn into a step backwards.
IT DOESN’T GET EASIER AND YOU WILL GET STRONGER, take it from me. BUT do NOT let a slip up be an excuse to give up on your goals of a healthy and fit lifestyle. It takes time and patience and eventually you will get to a point where craving won’t even phase you. You will get your groove and nothing will stand between you and your goal. Just have patience and positivity. It goes a long way!
