Hello Beautiful Souls,
The title of today’s post is a quote that I came across the other day, very simply put, “no rain, no flowers”. Although this quote is short and sweet, I think it has a massive meaning. Thinking about it in terms of life, you realize without the bad days you cannot grow. Just like flowers, we need rainy days to grow. Rainy days can be rough, they are gloomy and long. But, once the storm passes and the clouds part, flowers bloom and the sun shines.
In life, we have long, bad days that drag us down and put us in a mood. We also have great days, where positive vibes fill our environment and life is just beautiful. That’s life, a battle of good days and bad days. The key to conquering these ups and downs is staying positive and optimistic, even through the bad days. When you are constantly positive, it becomes routine and it is harder to fall into a negative mood. You must take the bad days and figure out how to grow from them.
This past week I came across a very inspiring YouTuber, Sarah’s Day, who is very into health and fitness. She has inspired me to get back to focusing on what I am putting into my body and gaining my strength back. Since I have retired from cheer, I have noticed a decrease in my muscle tone. This past week I began working out again and really listening to what my body wants. I have been feeling more energized and happier this week.
Getting back into working out is a perfect example of “no rain, no flowers”. Without a challenge, you won’t see results. When you begin working out, you may not see any change right away but when you stay positive and stick to it, you will notice the changes. The journey to becoming fit and healthy is never simple, but once you begin to notice results, you feel better and you feel inspired to continue.
This process is life. Some days you will face challenges and you won’t feel 100%, other days you will feel on top of the world and completely happy. Once you learn to ride the roller coaster of life, it becomes a little easier to stay positive. So, always remember without rain, there are no flowers. Enjoy what life hands you and fall in love of the process of becoming your best self.
Thank you all for reading today’s post. I hope you have a grace filled week and I am planning a post for Thursday, so stay tuned for that.
xo, Lyss
