Thursday Strength

Well, I skipped yesterday’s workout due to the fact I was beyond exhausted and had to work both jobs on very little sleep, so decided instead of pushing iron, I’d get some much needed sleep (my body was thanking me) and I will do my Wednesday on Friday instead. Today I was going heavy with some leg day exercises and really making up with the lack of workout yesterday by doing some good amount of work today & added in some much needed cardio at the end of the workout.

What is the most important thing to enable you to live an authentic life?

  • Personally, I would have to say being myself — whatever that may consist of 100% & even when it may not fit societies “norms”, or standards. I believe if one cannot be themselves (flaws and all) and instead pretend to be someone they are not in order to “fit in” with the crowd, then their life can never truly be genuine & that will also effect the ones they surround themselves with.

Is there a part of your life that you wish was more organized?

  • No, not really. Maybe to have an organized gameplan for my business & the amount of workload vs time I have to get it done & time spent on the workload. 

Are you in the same boat, are you someone who needs a part of your life more organized? if so, what is it and what are you doing in order to make that happen? leave answers in the comments, and like, follow and share!

Are you an organized person?

  • I would say yes I am. I use my planner/calendar daily for everyday task, keep up on work schedule, planning events, layout of my to-do list and to keep my brain in check so that I know what to expect that is “planned” for the day. I also very much enjoy an organized space; I am a little more picky about what that entails and when I get my own place, I will definitely have a place for everything and if not, then it will be stored away. Even when it comes to clothing, I like having my winter clothing separate from my spring/and summer clothing. Sometimes it might seem over the top, but when I do get my own office space besides using my bedroom, I want papers to be in folders and the room to be designed as productive space so that my brain feels at ease when I am blogging or needing alone time doing projects or meditation. 

Are you an organized person? we all have certain levels of organization that we need in our lives & some can careless as to how organized their space is (wish that could be me sometimes). If you are someone who is organized, explain in what ways & leave the answer in the comments.
