I know I am overdue for a fashion post, and I promise it will be the next one.
For now, I want to share some thoughts swimming around in my head today:
1. Stand up for yourself. If you are uncomfortable, speak up. Standing up for yourself, saying what you mean and meaning what you say, not letting anyone make you do something you are uncomfortable with (workouts aside,) feels SO MUCH better than avoiding conflict
2. It's no fun to feel taken advantage of
3. It's ok if not everyone in the world likes you. In fact, that's natural
4. Invest in yourself. You would never renege on a commitment to a friend, so why would you do that to yourself? Whatever goals you have set, whatever you want to do, keep at it. Don't fail yourself. Show up for yourself. I am doing that here, by writing, by sharing, by putting words on paper and making a commitment to myself to keep working towards my goals.
5. Prioritize yourself, in every way
