Dani B’s Daily Journal

Sharing love, life, and happiness

March 26 2021

I went into the gym today and did my weekly weigh in. I lost 4 pounds this week. I felt super proud. I then laughed realizing I had two rows of 22 inch extensions removed and all the weight could have been the missing hair. However, I will take it. Ha ha. No matter, being 4 pounds lighter made me feel good. I feel so much more motivated to accomplish the busy day ahead of me. Shopping to do before the trip, laundry, cleaning, getting my spring decor out, a couple of clients this afternoon. With all of these items I did not want to write this journal today. I thought “I don’t have time” but I decided I am prioritizing what really matters today. Sometimes we have to do things that we don’t want to do like going to work or waking up in the middle of the night with your child.

You may feel tired and worn down like you do not have the will power however, you have more strength than you give yourself credit. You have the will power to do whatever it is you set your mind to. For those of you today that are in a funk or having a day, where your husband is grumpy, your child woke you up in the middle of the night, you have a million other things to do and the time you need to spend on yourself gets put on the back burner….Stop what you doing! Take a 10 min stretch and do some deep breathing, and stop putting yourself last. When you put others before you and you repeat that pattern daily, before you know it, you feel like a failure. You may even tell yourself “I never have time to get the things done I say I will.” “Why am I so Tired?” “I feel ugly and fat”, “why can’t I just do this?” “I don’t recognize myself anymore.”

The reality is you create your future with each thing you do. When you put the work in for yourself, when you say nice comments about yourself, and when you do the right thing, it always comes back to you. You create your future. Your create your daily success, you create the person you are. You create the person you desire to be. I desire to be a lovely, accountable, relatable, successful joyful person and so it is. I am shaping my life one workout, one laundry load, one journal entry at a time. The simplest things in life can sometimes be the most difficult. Today, I encourage you to do that item that keeps getting put on the back burner.

The thoughts that are continually replaying through our brains, shape us! Accomplish the tasks that keep circling in your mind and you will feel so much better.  In closing, You’re stronger and have more energy than you give yourself credit for. Go and make the day great. 😘
