On the night before my birthday I never usually feel this calm, the emotions I usually feel is sadness, loneliness even, but this year I have a sense of calm, a sense of belonging and a sense of being wanted. There is only one other person other then my son who can put a smile on my face and make me the happiest I have ever been.

I was on social media earlier and stumbled upon a discussion about children and fitness well to be exact children and wearable fitness trackers. One mother brought up a good question "why does a child need a wearable fitness tracker?" Well if your child is anything like mine they want to be just like mommy and daddy, I lead a very active lifestyle, going for weekend runs to the river or going to the gym at my apartments. My son has always wanted to join I to have had a fitness tracker for about 2 years now just to keep track of my own fitness goals and to keep me encouraged to keep going. My son every time we would go out for a run would ask me when we got home "mama how far did we go?" or "Mama how many steps did we take?" I would answer him and let him know and at that moment his eyes would light up and I could see how proud of himself he was (I am equally as proud). Recently I got him a fitness tracker of his own and he was over the moon his response was "Mama I'm just like you!"
So my answer to her question of "Why does a child need a wearable fitness tracker?" is they don't need one but if they ask for one why not? After all our children just want to be like us. Lead by example, your children watch who they want to become. Until next time, Stephanie H. I want to start by saying it's never too early to chase your dreams and make your goals, in fact from personal experience I find that when I make my goals before the New Year and am able to get a routine down I actually tend to stick to and complete the goal I had set the year before.
How do I set my goals do you ask? Well I am going to tell you, I am a huge list maker I find that if I write it down it solidifies it and is a daily reminder to take a step every day to make it to my dream. Another way is to set reminders in your phone say if you want to save money for a trip that you want to take at the end of the year set a reminder in your phone every day with a picture that inspires you to save money for that trip. My next tip is to make a vision board of your goals and dreams for the year, it's another form of daily visual that will remind you to take a step in the right direction to make your dreams your own. And my last and final tip is to reflect each day, look back on what you did that day to get you one step closer to your goals. If you didn't do anything that day that's ok, don't beat yourself up tomorrow is a new day and a new opportunity to get you closer to the ultimate goal. Well I hope those tips helped you all and encouraged you to chase your dreams and accomplish your goals. I hope you all have an amazing night. Until next time, Stephanie H. |
