& fitness🏋🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🦾 — my Instagram & website quickly turned from a place I occasionally visited to a home 🏠💕I built & filled with memories, life lessons, & a family — all of you!
I wanted to take time this morning to simply thank all of you for being a part of my life & allowing me to add value to your life in anyway that you need.
In my bio, which I swear I have changed a million times as I evolved as a human, I added a quote that reads, “🤷♀️I f*ckd up a lot😄”
Guess what? I’ll continue to f*ck up a lot.
And you will too. It’s part of this journey called being human.
We don’t evolve & grow without a PUSH.
Just like a plant pushing thru the soil 🌱🪴🌷
It takes rain & sunshine 🌧☀️
Y’all know I love lists of life lessons.
They fill the pages of all of our storybooks📖
Scroll thru, reflect, & enjoy! Share with your fellow humans simply trying to do the best they can💞
Life Lessons I take with Me
By: Katie Kelly @lil_bit_of_fit
A different version of you exists in the minds of everyone who knows you. The only one that matters is the version you believe in your own mind.
The best decision I made was having all the hard conversations I didn’t want to have because those are the ones that change your life.
There’s a difference between feeling stuck & burned out. Feeling STUCK happens when you stop growing. It happens when you lose a feeling of purpose & you’re bogged down with too many tasks &/or energies of other people. Feeling BURNED OUT, you feel cognitively, emotionally, physically exhausted. Making it difficult to communicate, think, & work efficiently. LISTEN. If you’re feeling STUCK, try something new & chase whatever you’re passionate about. If you’re BURNED OUT, prioritize self-care & take a break, unapologetically.
Worry less if people like you & more about if you even like them.
Rejection is not as personal as it feels. Liking someone or being liked is more about compatibility than your worth. Stop choosing what isn’t choosing you. Read that again.
When dating, ask yourself if you would be friends with this person if you weren’t physically attracted to them. Do they make you a better person? Do they embody the person & life you desire? Be honest. This is a game changer. You are who you surround yourself with.
Stop ignoring red flags & patterns of behavior. Don’t think a mf wouldn’t do that to you, trust, a mf will def do that to you.
Stop living your life thru a piece of glass you rub & hold in your hands. The NOW is all we have. The past doesn’t need you anymore. The future hinges on your NOW.
Your LOVE life is only one area of your life. Don’t forget to nurture the rest. The grass is greener where you water it. You attract the energy you put out. When you envision your desired life, what does it look like? Be specific & embody the person that lives that life.
You are not your relationship. You both are 2 unique, amazing individuals that have chosen to live a life together. There’s YOU, there’s THEM, & there’s your RELATIONSHIP. You must honor all 3. The “right” person will feel like freedom & home, your safe place & your biggest adventure.
Have a firm handshake. Look people in the eye. Be honest. Never give up on people, miracles happen every day. Don’t be afraid to accept help.
Choose your life partners wisely. From this one decision can stem 90% of your happiness & misery. Learn to release people with a loving heart. Some relationships are only meant to last a season. Learn from them.
You dictate your reactions & control the pen that writes the words which fills the pages of your storybook. Don’t like your story? Write a new chapter.
A smile & a kind word go a long way. And they’re free.
The most interesting person in the room is the one most interested. Ask questions. Listen. Be a relentless optimist. Give people a second chance, think twice before giving them a third.
Be bold and courageous, live a life authentic to you. You’ll regret more of the things you didn’t do than the things you did do. Asking for forgiveness is easier than permission. 😉
Remember the golden rule. Treat others better than they treated you. Remember the 10 Commandments. Remember people may not remember exactly what you said, or what you did, but they will remember how you made them feel.
Now go make every moment magic 🪄
