What I Learned in 2013

What I know for sure 2014

The last 6 years of my life have been in turmoil for many reasons and several things happened in 2013 that got me contemplating life. So here is what I have learned:

Slow and steady wins the race.

Diets don’t work. Neither do all the new latest fads and super foods.

Obsession doesn’t work. I use to be an all or nothing person. If I fell off the wagon in regard to exercise or dieting then I would just quit, “well I blew it so I can’t do this”. So what! Move on. If I set a goal to exercise for 30 minutes a day and I only do 25 it’s not the end of the world. It’s still exercise!

You can give, give, give and people will take, take, take; and it will still not be enough.

At some point in life you are allowed to come first - why not now.

Moderation and balance are keys.

I am okay with being alone.

Persistence is more important than perfection.

You can’t please everyone so please yourself.

Not having to control everything is very freeing.

I didn’t cause it, I can’t control it, and I can’t cure it.

My brain has too many tabs open.

               and finally…

Accept who you are; unless you’re a serial killer.
