In our first week we assessed the condition of our bodies, evaluating our health and self-esteem. This week we will trace the path our lives have followed, honouring our accomplishments and reflecting on the sacrifices we’ve made along the way.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Good things come with a price, and yet every negative situation can lead to something good! As you review your life, take note of the cost you have paid for your accomplishments. Motherhood in itself comes with a huge price that I am sure all of us would agree is worth every penny! So maybe you need to cut yourself some slack and stop feeling guilty for not being able to “do it all”!
I love this quote I saw on one of the layouts last week: “The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you’ve come”. I think it’s so appropriate for this week! Hindsight is 20/20. In reflecting on the past, we can make conscious decisions for the future. There is a time for all things. A time for being single and free, a time for pursuing a career, a time for motherhood… and a time for YOU!
THE CHALLENGE: Create a layout built around a timeline that traces your greatest achievements through life. Journal about the sacrifices you made along the way.
Post your layout to the LOVE YOURSELF Gallery and add it to your personal challenge thread in the LOVE YOURSELF Forum.
