Reflect & Hydrate

It has taken me a lot of years to finally feel I can control my mind and my body. I am 26 years young and at last I have a sense of who I am, what I love, who I love, what I care for, and what I truly don’t. There is an unapologetic, happy, and gorgeous guy looking back at me in the mirror. I recognize the flaws and the strengths in my journey on this violently beautiful planet. 

There is a change in attitude in today’s post because I want to share with you where I stand. I had a horrendous week last week. I felt overwhelmed and anxious due to school and my progress towards my goals. I saw the mountain that I had to climb and panicked. In the past couple of years I learned to step back and see the big picture when I get in this tormented state. I step back and see what is the issue, why is it making me feel the way I do, ask if I can do something about it, and then try to fix what I can. It is easier said than done. 

A lot of people are lucky enough to know this and have the ability to practice it. But to those that don’t know that they can truly change their mindset, this one is for you. Drink water, stay hydrated and reflect. Look at who you are and recognize cool things about you, and acknowledge that a baby step forward, is still a step forward.
