Pamper Yourself With What YOU Love



Hey all!

So a new concept that I have been thinking about is do something you love to do that uplifts you... and although this doesn't sound much like a new concept but it is!!! And its one I am so EXCITED ABOUT!! We need to be taking time out of our busy lives and pampering ourselves and enjoying that hour or two of that much needed me time.

Personally I enjoy interval training because it helps making the time for maximum intensity but sometimes I just have to do a time challenge or something to mix it up. Also I love enjoying the suns rays and going to the beach {always remembering to bring a full water bottle or two} Since this is something I love it motivates me to keep active and to make my workouts and my days for unique.

The downside and some things I need answers to are like: What if you only love something that keeps you in the house for a long time and not active? And people's likes and dislikes will vary so much and its important to know this. Also to know that from day to day your small likes will also change depending on how you are feeling and other aspects of life.

As an example of people's likes changing depending on things... Is for some girls when they have "that time of month" or their period {yes boys... I dared and said it in public} some girls when this time comes they don't wanna move around too much because they have horrible cramps. While others can't stop having energy and being so pumped to feel like a woman.
Yes having a good diet and exercising regularly helps with knowing your body, and comes with so many great benefits for both guys and girls. {I'll share some of these with you in a later post}

But to motivate you is to do the things you don't enjoy whether it be exercising really hard or playing a video game. The key to them is do them in moderation and do them in a balance.

I remember asking my Nonno {my grandpa, I am from a major Italian family so I call him from his Italian name} but I asked him through a hard time with my Nonna {grandma, his wife} what he was doing that he enjoyed. It was surprising to him that he should be doing something and he actually didn't know what to say or do because he wasn't raised that you take time for yourself. And this is not a healthy thought process.

Everyone needs to do something they love! In balance and in moderation but you need to have a positive outpost for negative energy to have good health in all aspects of life.
As you eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly you will start to love it and feel energy by it and just give it time but also after a workout when you have time in your day do something uplifting for yourself. This will motivate you to continue taking care or yourself physically.
And I want to know what are some of the things that you readers love to do! This could be a day at the spa, golfing or playing soccer or just sitting to watch a chick flick.

Enjoy taking care of yourselves!!!
