"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe
So I have a confession to make: as much as I'd like to say I always follow my own advice, it doesn't quite always happen that way. I sure can talk, but walking that out? Not so easy. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I even know what I'm talking about.
Lately, I've been testing myself out on one of my favorite pieces of advice: intuitive eating, or listening to my body to decide what it needs. I never realized how much I don't do that, and how much I still follow all the "rules" I have about when, where, and what to eat. So at first, following my own advice wasn't as easy as I hoped.
But you know what? I am incredibly glad I did it. Because I realized I can do it, it's just a matter of actually trying, taking the first step. Not only have I gotten much better at trusting my "gut" (get it?), I learned that maybe I should listen to my own voice more often, because maybe I do know something.
And my point isn't that my own advice is so fabulous, so you should listen to all of it. But maybe your own advice, your own voice is worth taking in every once and a while. Give a try.
