Reposted from @blactiv If not for you, then who? When I'm down, I tend to start making excuses as to why I can't work out - "I don't feel like it" "I'm tired" "I don't have the time" ⬆️Some of my faves ⬆️ But I made the commitment TO myself FOR myself. It is an integral part of my self-care and 100% makes me feel better. This commitment holds space for all the above excuses, it accepts them as possible facts of life: Lack of motivation, energy and time are real things. However, this commitment also accepts the fact that working out is a form of self care. Feeling better after a workout is also a real thing. ⇉ There's room for both ⇇ So how do you honour both feelings? 🚩Do whatever you can but just do something. Normally do 3 sets? Do 1. Normally do a 100lb squat? Do just the bar. Normally do a 1 hr workout? Do 30 mins. What I don't recommend doing is miserably forcing yourself to do the "normal" routine just because that's what you think you have to do. Remember this is a lifestyle choice, so make it livable sis. . . . . . . #fitnesspro #fitnesstrainer #fitnessaddicted #quotetoliveby #quotesforever #healthandfitnessjourney #onepoundatatime #smallwins #newmindset #accomplishments #thisisyouryear #blackfitnesswomen #blackfitnessmotivation #fitfortheculture #latinafitness #fitnessofig #afrofit #fitnessisfun #mirrorofyourintentions #wordsarepower #womxn #ebonyfitnessfreaks #fitnessinspirations #healthquote #motivationalposts - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CAfOG5NhYNw/?igshid=6q3ae81c63jc

With one easy payment of $(whichever book you decide) you too can feed a starving artist for one meal. You will also recieve feelings of empathy, understanding, and hope. Side effects of these books include: reading start to finish, talking to your depressed friend, opening up about mental illness, and crying. If you do buy a book, inbox me, and I'm down to chat about it! Thank you much! #starvingartist #blerd #summerreading #love #barnesandnoble #nappilyeverafter #amazon #resistdepression #talk #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #poet #poetry #Godwilling #blactivity
"Beloved,
Every root of your hair tells a different story, Do not be fooled by fools that will tell you otherwise… It grows out like a bush because YOU are a reflection of the SUN.. It dances around because your MELANIN has soul & like Gold it will continue to shine. There’s no way to duplicate it which makes you one of a kind… Remain pure & Continue to Embrace it. Always wear your Crown of History Proudly because no one can erase it" ~ brittsense
