Being a fit, happy, healthy mom really sets the whole foundation for you and your kids.
I think sometimes we get so busy making sure that everyone else is taken care of that we put ourselves last on the list. I have certain things that I do every day that to me are “non-negotiable” meaning someone can’t talk me out of doing these things because I know that if I am not full I will have nothing to give to anyone else.
It is not just about being physically fit that keeps us going but also about being emotionally fit.
Emotional fitness is a “muscle” that also needs to be developed so when you are having a tough day everything else seems effortless.
I start my day with a few “I AM” statements:
I am Loving
I am honest
I am fit
I am sexy
I am an awesome mom
I am playful
I am healthy
I am financially fit
I am creative and on and on…
Then I have my code of conduct:
I will stay true to myself
I will help those who want to be helped
I will appreciate something in nature
I finish by saying my morning prayers
I encourage you to create your own “I am” statements not just for you but to help your kids as well.
You will notice you are truly FIT for the day!

Great advice – I’ll have to try some of those “I” statements.
