You ARE persistent.
The Meaning of Persistence :: Continuing firmly or obstinately in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.)))
How to Acknowledge and Accept Your Persistence
Many of us get caught up in the day-to-day that we don’t realize how persistent we actually are. Acknowledging this skill and owning it, allows us to feel proud and continue on this journey. You and I have this skill.
I know you are persistent because you’re getting out of bed…
You’re working long hours so that you can provide for YOU…
For your family/kids…
You are persistent because you eat to live each day…
You are persistent because you brush your teeth every day, well, I hope…
You go for annual checkups…
You shower…
You show up for friends when maybe you’re not in the mood…
You work to be healthier overal– even when you don’t feel perfect at it…
Nobody is perfect in ANY of these areas…
YOU are persistent because YOU show up and do the best YOU can each and every single day.
So today, I encourage you to accept and appreciate your persistence in life and sure, open up within to see where you can tweak, learn & grow even more…
Because, you and I may be persistent, but we can always improve. Xoxo
Identity Magazine is all about guiding women to discover their powers of Self-Acceptance, Appreciation, and Personal Achievement. We ask that every contributor and expert answer the Identity 5 questions in keeping with our theme. Their answers can be random and in the moment or they can be aligned with the current article they have written. In that way, and as a team, we hope to encourage and motivate each other, thus inspiring you to Get All A’s.
1. What have you accepted within your life, physically and/or mentally? Additionally, what are you still working on accepting? Now, we’re not talking about resignation, rather stepping into, embraced, and owned.
I’ve have accepted, embraced, and owned so much over the years. My body is one that has come a long way. I’m fortunate that I have a pretty confident mindset on my body image. I’m always working to improve my nutrition for the long term and that takes pushing myself at times.
2. What have you learned to appreciate about yourself and/or within your life, physically and mentally? On the other hand OR in contrast, are there elements of who you are that you’re still working on appreciating?
I appreciate my husband and his support on this journey. You have to have a support team in place such as friends and family–and he’s on board with all of my endeavors.
3. What is one of your most rewarding achievements in life? Tell us not only what makes YOU most proud but also share the goals and dreams that you still have.
This magazine, Identity Magazine is my baby, my backbone and I’m so proud I built this community.
4. Of course, we all have imperfections, or so we think. In truth, we are all perfectly imperfect. What are your not-so-perfect ways? Likewise, what imperfections and quirks create who you are–your Identity?
Oh, my uneven breasts, larger nose and mentally, I can’t slow now… so much energy that it can get me into trouble.
5. “I Love My…” is an outlet for you to appreciate and express all the positive traits that make you…well…YOU! In fact, sharing what you love about yourself will make you smile, feel empowered, and uplift your spirit and soul. (We assure you!) Therefore, Identity challenges you to complete the phrase “I Love My…?”
I love my ability to be persistent. 🙂
