HOW I GET THROUGH


10 Positive Benefits Of Listening To Music, According to Science


Music...Music....AND.....more MUSIC. I have always been in love with music ever since I was very little. I didn't watch cartoons because I preferred things that were solely based on music. Yes, some cartoons have music, but it wasn't enough for me. Music is my therapy; the one thing that never fails. It is something about how the words mixed with a nice melody mixed with a choirs crescendo or the runs of an artist that just speaks to me. Music is a mood changer it can make you cry in one moment then the next moment you can't stop moving your hips. It gives me hope when I feel down. It motivates me through school work and definitely a workout. When I first started my weight loss journey I absolutely utterly with a passion hated running. I utilized music to set the bar for myself. The goal was to first make a running playlist and the key challenge was to not skip a song. It was key because I would challenge myself to run for an entire song and then I would walk on the incline the next song. With this routine, it leads me to run faster and longer; if I must say so myself I have come very far. I am 100% sure that music does something to your brain that forces you to work out harder. Hear me out you know that moment when you go to the gym and forget headphones or god forsake your phone dies well yeah I have had many of those moments. YES, the gym plays music, but it's not always your music; you feel me right?? Just because these things happen I still go to the gym and I notice well at least I feel that I am not working as hard. There are probably tons of research articles on this, but I know this is true because I feel a clear difference. I know we all as people find some type of music we resonate with, but I resonate with a variety of music. I think we all should embody the power of music. It is a key player in my life and nothing has made me feel half of what music does. Music doesn't have to be your key therapy, but find something that challenges you and bring you joy because it is essential to have something that does the for you. Mine is music, but yours could be anything or a multitude of things. Just remember everything starts with you.

The Ultimate Green Smoothie

Yes Yes, I know another smoothie in a mason jar. You will come to learn if you do not already know that I love smoothies and I love mason jars. They are both so convenient. This recipe is filled with vegetables and a little fruit. If you do not like vegetables unlike me this may not be the recipe for you or you can simply add more of the fruit and less of the vegetables. I also incorporated vanilla whey protein in this recipe so it can be used as a meal substitute for a busy morning or afternoon. I did try the chocolate whey protein and did not like it at all. In the previous smoothie recipe, I talked about incorporating flax seeds and why they are beneficial. I have added a picture of the flax seeds that I use below. Materials Measuring Cups Spinach Avocados Kale Whey Protein Flax seeds Almond Milk Berry Mix Recipe(1 or 2 Servings)  1/2 cup of spinach 1/2 of a avocado 1/2 cup of kale 1/4 cup of berries 1 scoop of whey protein 1 Tbsp of ground flax seeds 1 ...

Realtionships and Weight Loss

  I have noticed a sudden increase in couples working out together not just online, but in person. When I see single people working on themselves they spend the majority of their time by themselves. With that being said I decided to share my experiences with relationships since I started my journey.  Friendships At the beginning of my journey, I distanced myself from everybody. I felt that I needed to really focus on myself. When you first begin something you need to first learn to discipline and the only way I personally knew how to do that was to distance myself. I do not regret this decision at all because if I first wouldn't have taught myself this discipline, in the beginning, I would not have made it as far as I have. When you distant yourself away from people you may lose some, but I gained way more. I started feeling whole again, I started glowing, and above all, I started to feel pure happiness radiating through m...

Redirection

At this moment I feel stuck. Stuck in this stage of my weight loss. I haven't been gaining or losing any weight. I was so worried about it even to the point that I begin to get discouraged. I was at a point where I thought this was it. Then I remember that every relationship needs constant redirection. Redirection doesn't mean starting over. Redirection doesn't mean that you have stopped, given up, or done something wrong. Redirection simply means you may need to do some readjusting. Often we stick to the same workouts and our body gets used to it. With workouts especially you must constantly evolve and do new things to challenge yourself. Once you do the same things over and over again it becomes easier and you now can do it like its nothing without sweating. With workouts, you always want to constantly challenge yourself. My redirection will consist of me going back to take a look at what I was doing then when I was losing weight compared to now. When I initiall...
