Excited, Present, & Brave

The Pointer Sisters… I’m So Excited

I think most of us have a goal to be healthy and feel good with the person who looks back at us in the mirror. I know I make an effort in my routine to exercise and balance my diet, but it’s so much more than that!

It starts from the inside, how I’m feeling… about me, about the day ahead, am I focused on my insecurities or am I able to draw on my ass-sets?

Take a listen to ‘I’m so excited’… I want to squeeze you, Please you, I just can’t get enough, And if you move real slow, I’ll let it go, I’m so Excited, and I just can’t hide it…

This is a woman who has looked in the mirror, held her head high, adjusted her crown, and isn’t thinking of her insecurities, her cellulite, her stretch marks, oh no she knows her value, her worth, and she believes in the woman looking back at her in the mirror.

Maybe she has had the morning to pamper herself a bit? I know a mani/pedi always helps me stand a little taller. Maybe she put on a relaxing $3.00 mask while she listened to the radio? Music is my go-to always. Maybe it was the vacation dreamy scent of her shower gel and lotion? Can’t get away to Hawaii, get some Pineapple/Coconut shower gel and lotion (Bath & Body Works is amazing and has sales All The Time-Eek!) Maybe it’s the well-fitted, and sexy, bra and panty set? Yes, ladies do yourself, and your girls a favor, Always get measured, a properly fitted bra is your best friend!

Whatever it was this woman is feeling her best and that’s the feeling I want. I want to be excited.

‘We shouldn’t even think about tomorrow, Sweet memories last a long, long time’

Exactly, live in the moment, be present. Where are you at today? Are you feeling your best today? What could you differently to change from Eh to Excited? Maybe it’s something simple like switching out that boring coffee at break for a latte? Be Brave! Sometimes you need to take a stand for you!

I know this is written more for the ladies, but for all the men, same goes for you. Toss out those well worn underwear, you deserve those new boxer briefs you have been eyeing, you’ll get that much needed burst of ‘I’m about to lose control and I think I like it’. A good mani/pedi will do wonders, don’t be afraid, men go all the time! Be Brave! Men deserve to pamper themselves, take time to figure out what you like.

Everyone needs a little self-care in their lives. Part of my self-care is my hair. I am very strict about my hair routine. Every 4–5 weeks and it’s color is always changing- full spectrum of colors depending on how I’m feeling. Pinks, blues, purples, all for me. Hair is an accessory, it can always be changed. I feel good when I see me in the mirror, a woman who is still growing into her own.

So today be excited, be present, and be brave!
