Life can be boring and jealousy can be easy

We all know that life can be boring and it can be easy to fall into the FOMO trap. I think it is human nature to want what we don’t have. I have a sister with curly hair and I have straight hair- I always remember us wishing we could swap. But is it even better? What does “better” even mean and how do we know it would be better? The truth is, we do not truly know if something IS better. We are all different, and we all experience things differently. We always need to take in account our own circumstances and preferences. So a 5 AM pilates class might work for that flawless tiktok girl, but that doesn’t mean it will work for you, and you don’t need to feel like shit about it.

Another truth in life is that it is the foundatinal work that sets us up for success. I do not care what it is, I believe this applies to everything. Trust me, the foundations are BORING and can make you feel like a “loser“ or something while doing them. In reality the flashy things might catch your eyes but what’s behind it? People are always trying to sell you something, and if you don't beleive me take a step back and watch... especially as you're scrolling. Shit, just you even reading this far, i'm kind of selling you something, right? Selling you the fact that I know a thing or two about nutrition and life and just maybe you'd want to be my client one day. That's not the reason I write these blog posts, but thats besides the point.

When someone is trying to sell you something it usually sounds great, new and exciting; maybe even life changing. How many times have you clicked on an ad that says a tea can make you lose weight in 28 days? Be honest... I will be, I've even bought it! But that 28 day tea likely just gives you expensive diarrhea and it makes you think you've lost weight, and maybe you will but at what cost? Developing a phobia of leaving your house just in case you SH*T yourself? I am telling you, if you want to truly lose weight or maybe you're trying to live "healthier" - I always put that in quotations because healthy IMO (in my opinion) is different for everyone. It will always be the basics, that foundational work..and its f*cking boring.

Another thing to add. I'm 23... in the prime age of being influenced by social media and it sucks. It really does, we are in an era where we are constantly being fed what other people are doing and it is SOO easy to become jealous. If you're like me, a jealous little bug, take social media breaks, mute/unfollow people on the socials who make you feel like shit about yourself, and if you find yourself comparing everything to others please stop and refrain from spiraling. Social media is fake and most people only show you the good. Lay low, be a good person and do your best. The rest isn't up to you,

(I'm most likely am going to take a break from social media for a bit, but regardless I will have a blog post up every Wednesday)

Thanks for reading and for the support, until next time,
