Mental Make-over



2004.................2006................. 2008
Four years should NOT look like that!
(And these were some great years!)
******************************************


Today I spent more time than I should have looking reviews for several different anti-aging products, serums and solutions. I was exhausted last night and was finally getting ready for bed, when I washed my face and noticed that I had more freckles lately and that my skin was much more blotchy. Upon further inspection I noticed the lines around my mouth were more exaggerated, and I not only had bags under my eyes, but now crows feet were forming.

I immediately began to tear up. I realized I needed a make-over.

I realized that I had been neglecting myself for far too long. Just turning 31 may have been what's got me to think about how I'm looking lately. I know I have about 40lbs to lose (I've lost 7lbs in the last two weeks). I know I need a new hairstyle so I can't keep falling into the lazy habit of wearing my hair up in a ponytail or tacking it up in a bun. I also must admit, that I rarely wear makeup on weekdays, and only on weekends when I go out.

I never thought about it before, but I think I'm short changing myself.
See, whenever I wear make-up, fix my hair and dress cute.... I feel good, nevermind the compliments I get. I FEEL good about myself. So, why don't I do it everyday? Aren't I worth it?

I realized that I had been telling myself for years that it didn't matter if I looked good, but really it matters a great deal. I am missing out on the feeling of confidence.

I realized I needed a Mental Make-over.

Today, I'm making a (late) birthday resolution. Who says they're just for new years?
Today, I promise MYSELF that I will not allow my age to become a factor in believing in myself, having confidence, and feeling good about the way I look.

Today, I vow to take care of myself:
* I will workout without fail at least 3 x a week.
* I will take care of my skin.
* I will wear make-up and fix my hair, everyday.
* I will be aware of my increased confidence and use it as motivation to continue.
* I will help lift others up.

I wanted to share with you my realization that:
Age is just a number.
Life is what you make it.
You get a new chance everyday!

You can give yourself a Mental Make-over and feel better today!

Smile. Feel good. Compliment someone. Pass it on.
