But doing it is hard. It takes dedication and consistency every day!Let’s just admit it. Self-care is lacking in our world of immediate gratification and satisfaction. The “quick-fix” syndrome is grooming our everyday living while rejecting the most important focus, well-being.

But the thing is — you get to create your now.

Your body is a gift. And it is up to you to take care of the body God has given you.

However, it’s easy to miss the gift that’s right in front of you.

The hustle and bustle of the year can cloud your priorities and the fires that are put out, really don’t matter much in the long run.

If you aren’t willing to slow down in order to speed up, you can miss the gift of wisdom.

So today, pause for yourself. Use this time to reflect on what you’ve gained throughout the year.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Reflect on what you’ve gained!

Who would have thought that gaining something would be positive when it comes to healthy living. Most of us are trying to lose that which has already been gained since Thanksgiving.

This season, I want you to consider two questions.

1. What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned this year? There are always lessons to be learned. Yet most of the time we let those lessons slip by us not making a great impact. Well, today, it stops with you! Reflect on that big lesson that had you scratching your head in the moment, yet jumping for joy days, weeks, and months later. And if you have more than one big lesson learned, make note of what they are. Pay attention to the progress of your transformation. This is where you will grow even more because of your awareness and due diligence. You matter!
2. How do you want to apply the lesson learned to this coming new year? And here, I want you to be specific. Don’t gloss over what you think will make due. That’s been going on for many years. Do your homework. Set yourself up for success so when failure comes knocking on your door again (because it will), you’ll already have a game plan in motion.

And I want you to think outside the box.

We learn something from everyone who passes through our lives. Some lessons are painful, some lessons are beautiful. But all are priceless.

So don’t be so quick to throw away those moments you wished didn’t happen. They actually might serve a greater purpose in your journey of well-being.

The gift of wisdom comes from knowing what you did not, yet looking to what you do now.

Make this coming year extra special and unique to you.

Create your now!
