STRENGTH / STRONG - can mean so many things
to be physically strong or have physical strength (power or endurance styled)
to have mental strength or be mentally strong (capable of understanding ones thoughts, putting them into play, etc.)
to be emotionally strong or have emotional strength (able to work through how you feel about things)
....
I have the word STRENGTH tattooed on my back, right on my spine (yes for the extra "pain").
I got it done back in Jan. 2019 - mentally I was struggling... I felt like I wasn't living up to my potential, I was falling back on habits that were just dragging me down, and I was surrounding myself with negative energy.
I wasn't doing anything to better myself in any way.
So once the new year came around I decided it was time... I approached the year full force with a mindset of reclaiming myself, I declared that year to be MY year.
With the tattoo, I wanted to remind myself that I have the strength to overcome anything.
& I did. That year was definitely MY year - I cleaned up my act (& the toxicity around me), I got pregnant & gave birth to my beautiful twin girls, I even graduated with my Masters, .
It wasn't easy, nothing ever is... you just have to accept the challenge and dig yourself out of the hole. It is freaking DIFFICULT, & I understand. After 2019; life wasn't easy either... COVID hit & the world pretty much shut down.
We have to really put in the effort to better ourselves, for ourselves.
Shift your mindset & look for growth, positive growth. & Remind yourself that you will make it through... so see it through & keep moving forward.
"Everyone can be strong, everyone can have strength, but this is your story."
I'd appreciate if you share this & provide feedback (share your own story!). I’ll be back.

REMINDER:
Go prioritize yourself:
Your physical health matters.
Your mental health matters.
Your emotional health matters.
YOU MATTER.
