Run? Oh I thought you said rum....

This weekend I was looking at myself in the mirror in front of my daughter and I caught myself saying "I look fat, I should tone my tummy" then I hear my daughter (2 1/2) say "yeah, mom".

Then I stopped myself dead in my tracks...

Although taking care of yourself is important and its great to teach your kids to tighten and tone to maintain good posture and a healthy lifestyle so is the healthy balance of it. I want my daughter to grow up loving who she is regardless of where she is in that journey.

If I didn't go through the 4th degree tear, post-partum depression/anxiety, flabby tummy, and hormonal changes - it would mean I wouldn't have had her!

Trust the process, embrace those stretch marks, the wrinkles, the hormones, the challenges because it means you were brave enough to harvest life. You could be anything in this world, but you are the one your angels need.

I hate how social media/we compare ourselves to others. Don't you know that those people went through blood, sweat and tears to get there? Maybe they had similar struggles that could've held them back?

To me a mental physique is more important than a physical because if you are unhappy inside it will manifest outward.

I want you to look at yourself in the mirror today and when you see the things you pick apart, change it to look at the story it tells and how you can use that for God's glory and to speak life into your family.

I take supplements for my anxiety/depression, workout to posture myself because I aint no spring chicken anymore and sometimes it helps drown out the demons in my head and I rely on God to drive this struggle bus in the right direction. You?

Love,
Pam

I haven’t wrote since my miscarriage. Honestly I stopped anything that I was doing to advance myself mentally, physically and emotionally because I was numb. Anxiety sets in and derails me from my supplements that I know work for me. I convinced myself it was what caused the miscarriage and irregular periods. However I know what the root cause of my problems are. They always have been my anxiety. But they don’t always have to be. I’m not comfortable living a “victim” mindset. Not that things haven’t been tough for me but because I have tons to be grateful for and I know it could always be worse. You see chronic stress rather it’s brought on by life or stress we manifest ourselves will make you physically ill. It’s a viscous cycle. Your anxiety makes you worry about everything on God’s green earth and then it creates high levels of stress. The saying “what goes up, must come down” obviously was never referring to an anxious mind. And your body believes what your mind tells it to. I...

Your'e in the fight of your life..

You're in the fight of your life, and its in heavenly places.. Whatever walk of life you're in you are grouped in three categories in life. You have gone through something hard. You are going through something hard currently. You will go through something hard in the future. This illusion that we will not go through trials in our life because of (insert your idea) is misleading to the true interpretation to life here on earth. Because since sin entered this world we have been battling a war between good and bad. That is why the hardest battles you will probably go through will be mental warfare not physical. Although physical pain is never the less hard and debilitating so is our mental wars.   I am a religious person, you may not be. That is your journey. So for me I like to look at the mental battles in a sense of holy ground.   The devil will always try to derail you. And he comes through our thoughts and interpretations of ourselves. "I am not good enough...

Rise above!

I should probably give you some background on who I am and where I have come from. When I was 9 I started passing out. They ran test and finally determined I had bradycardia (slow heart arrhythmia).  They put a pacemaker in and it changed my life forever, my health is probably one of the main source of my anxiety and I never learned to cope with it until 4 years ago when I needed to rise above it. I am married to the most amazing husband. We have had struggles as we've grown up together. Trying to take on life. We've had multiple people live with us and we lived together a few years before getting married. there was never really a honeymoon stage. But through the hurdles of it all overcame those. In 2012 my husband had a dirt bike wreck and broke his collarbone. In 2013 I had a pacemaker replacement and while they were in there threading the lead in my artery punctured my lung and I got pneumothorax and a blood clot in my arm. Talk about my anxiety going through the...
