I caught a quick glance of my reflection last night as I passed by a mirror towards the bathroom. My first thought was, "Ugh. I look tried and saggy." Then I stopped myself.
I forced my mentality to be different. I forced myself to smile at that tired, saggy rendition of me. More then that, I decided I am ALWAYS going to make myself smile at...ME.
I've been through a lot this past year. I don't just look tired, I AM tired. But for the first time in a long time I'm starting to be tired for the right reasons instead of the wrong ones. I'm starting to sense and feel a notieceable shift in my energy patterns and physical abilities. I am walking faster and going further. I can keep at it for longer spurts without getting winded. In short, I am a better version of ME.
I have been through a lot. I am tired. But I'm coming out the back door of my year of extremes as a stronger, smarter, more aware, healthier version of myself. I may not always like what I see when I pass by that mirror but I do always have a reason to smile: I'm looking at ME.
