Moving and Progressing

When you are surrounded by specific people or environments, have you noticed how you feel? Truly, have you paid attention to the small things, like how you thoughts or emotions shift, how you body reacts? I know its easy to bypass the small undetectable changes in mood or behavior because our brains are focused on the large rather than the tiny. Become mindful of your interactions and settings, it may change your perspective and outlook.

I got so caught up in trying to be everything other people wanted me to be and I wasn't being my authentic self | Koya Webb.

Sometimes, the people we spend most of our time around, do us more harm than good, and it may not happen overnight, but over the years. If you are around people that constantly drain you than pour into you, take your power back and leave them alone. I know, It's easier said than done. I don't have enough fingers to count the amount of times I've stayed in specific relationships that have done me no good. But, I do know, when I mustered up the courage to speak on it, I felt better, and did better in a physical, emotional, and mental sense. You'll be nervous, you'll want to back out, but doing what's best for you is never the wrong thing. This is not to say the relationship has to end because a conversation can be held between you and your friend which can change the dynamic for the better allowing you both to flourish. However, if a conversation does take place and things do not change for the better than ending the relationship is a choice you'll have to decide on.

I am all for moving and progressing. When you do things that fit who you are or want to be, you'll begin to glow. Have you ever noticed that when things changed in a persons life, they look different? Before, I never believed this because what kind of magic could allow some one to look better because circumstances changed. But, its true I've seen and and felt it. So, change your surroundings so you'll be happy to live in a place where you feel uplifted, noticed, loved, and appreciated whether its the people you surround yourself with or your environment. When you start to do the work, you'll no longer fit in the small box you were once in.

You deserve the affection that you kept trying to pour into others. You deserve the same motivation that you tried to inspire in others. You deserve the high of happy, without the low of sadness. You deserve the relaxation of trust, without the paranoia of betrayal. You deserve to look at your reflection with the eyes of awe, not judgement. - G.L. Lambert
