When you try to go through a big change in life, you often question
everything and everyone that you come in contact with. It shows you
that putting yourself first is the best way to care for yourself and for
others, if there is a better you, then you're able to care for others with
a clear mind and better attitude. I have been through a time when I
was depressed, didn't want to go anywhere or see anyone, I was
eating nothing but junk food to make myself feel better. I have two
young children and I felt as if I wasn't being the mother to them that I
needed to be. I started taking them to the park and for walks around
our block to get us all outside and to get myself active. I started to
drink more water instead of Coca-cola, and watching what I eat
instead of snacks and candy all day and it truly made me feel better as
a person. I was able to spend quality time with my kids, while getting
exercise and a clear head on my life and how to better myself so that I
can be a better person to everyone around me.
