What do You Give Power to?

“It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to has power over you.” I was scrolling through my Instagram feed this morning and saw this quote on Bethany Noel Mota’s feed. It is such an inspiring quote, simply because it’s true. You say you’re afraid, then fear has power over you. You say you’re tired or exhausted, then that feeling of exhaustion has power over you.

I’m not an actress or a model who needs to (or has to) work out 2-4 hours a day, 5-6 times a week, to keep my body svelte or slim. I’m a real woman, with curves, a small muffin top, and cellulite.
