Tip of the Day:Yesterday, on social media, I shared the photo below as a #ThrowbackThursday (which I rarely do). Then, that post and the idea of throwbacks got me thinking. Am I hesitant or forgetful to do throwback Thursday or flashback Friday picture posts because I’m so focused on the future? That’s what we’ve all been taught is “good”, yet is it really the best thing for us?
Let me know what you think about my thoughts – some may agree, some may disagree, but I believe in exploring these two options, we can find a balance for us individually that actually benefits us greatly. First, there’s the popular idea of always keeping your eyes set ahead. Any problems we had, obstacles we faced, or difficulties we experienced are behind us the second they unravel and we need to focus on what we can do in the future. Sounds inspirational and positive, right?!
On the other hand, we can look back. That problems we solved, the obstacles we overcame, and experiences we turned into a lesson helped shape us; in some form, we were able to grow from each of those instances. Personally, I believe the balance and benefit comes from the perspective we take when looking back. Look back only if you are viewing things from the lens of positivity and strength (ie: what lesson was learned from an experience).
How can this apply to you today? Go ahead and take a look back on a picture from last year, two years ago, or even ten years ago. You may initially not like what you see, but just think how far you’ve come. How has your body changed as you’ve begun taking control of your health? How has your mindset developed from the person’s in the picture? How have your relationships strengthened? It’s awesome when we can look back and enjoy because of what we’ve accomplished!
PS – this is me 4 years ago when I was constantly referred to as a “string bean.” Although I felt strong and fit back then, I have progressed significantly in adding lean muscle to my body! It’s possible to love your body as it is, yet want to better it.
