#Patience increases our threshold of tolerance. It gives us the foresight to expect obstacles on our path and to deal with them diplomatically. It was years of battles against my premenopausal hormones which began peaking in 2016, I was struggling with weight, dry wrinkly eyes, all kinds of skin problems and worst of all, depression. Knowing and understanding that it was just a phase in our lives, I told myself that it would be over one day, so I made myself focus on one thing, MYSELF. I worked on fine-tuning my diet and switching up my workout routines etc..setting mini goals like fixing my dislocated finger, old injuries, I wanted nice abs, defined back muscles, thinning my trapezius muscles, the whole nine yards...Just to distract myself from those unpleasant moments.
Remember, your number one enemy is Cortisol, a #StressHormone that often causes depression and weight gain. Google "Cushing syndrome" and you'll know if it's affecting you. I learned about #CushingSyndrome during my yoga teacher training. It's too obvious that I was suffering from that, look at that picture of mine. My face was constantly swelling up on and off to the size of a wide screen TV.
Patience brings hope. It brings a continued renewal of belief in our desired goals and in the heights we are striving to achieve. When we are hopeful, we have a natural resilience and willingness to keep trying because we trust in the process and the possibility of a good outcome. I certainly did!!
Please be patient with yourself, my face and body weren't built overnight... Like @prudencebyprudence , I'm just taking baby step to nurture this new baby of mine, I'm patiently waiting for the new labels to arrive... Love them so much because they're my daughter's creation!! #WomenSupportWomen #WomenEmpowerWomen #GoodThingsComeToThoseWhoWait
