Today's post is special because you could win a pair of Joe's Jeans. Read on...Better Than Nothin' Tuesday is the day when we hip-hip-hooray for making even the smallest of changes or steps towards your health goals. You see doing something teensy even if it's just having one less negative thought, or doing cardio for one minute extra is still better than zero. Little changes count because they add up over time.
Support is all around you
Today is all about support and remembering that you are never alone. Now, you may have times where you feel alone or you think you're alone and no one would understand, but I'm here to tell you that that is only true in your head. In reality, there are many people out there, complete strangers in fact who indeed are kindred spirits, have been where you've been, and have even been worse off than you, and want to and will be there for you if you ask.
Yes, it is possible to be worse off than where you are, so even if things totally suck right now, it's temporary. During my downest days when I felt rock bottom, the one thing that kept me hanging on was the knowledge that I got no where to go but up. It may have been a far road up, but up is still better than down, and that one positive thought was better than nothin'.
You'll be okay with some help from the interwebs
This is why I love the Internet. I've met complete strangers online who I've had more in common with in an instant than with some people I've known for years. Physical presence does not always mean closeness if you know what I mean, but that's okay. The web is a place where you can start finding kindred spirits or people who are going through or have been through what you are dealing with right now. All you have to do is start surfing and reaching out. Start slow if that makes you feel more comfortable but applaud yourself every time you do make some small step because you're taking action, and that's good!
Here's some inspiration in Ingrid Michaelson's "Be OK" video in the end where she shows what it's like to be supported by others when you're trying to mend the "broken parts." Love this song! ![]()
So, for those who have found wonderful help and support online, what's one piece of advice you'd give to those just starting out?
