Plus, two great reader comments:
Says Ashley on exercising: “If I’m not feeling into a workout (which is often), my trick is to make it tiny! It usually goes like this:
Me: Okay, Ash. Time to work out?
My brain: Lol, no.
Me: Just do one push up.
My brain: *eyeroll* Fiiiiiine.
*push-up*
My brain: I’m already down here, might as well do five.
*5 push-ups*
My brain: Omg, these ~endorphins~ are so delicious! I am a ~fitness~ goddess.
The hardest part is the first step. If I can make that first step teeny, I can work out (or do anything I don’t want to do).”
Says Lynn on wedding ideas: “Honestly, our wedding was such a stressful day, and it took me years to realize that I didn’t need to feel guilty about it not being the ‘best day of my life.’ Like most things involving family dynamics and love and growing up, it was complicated, and I’ve learned to be gracious with the young me that made imperfect decisions and tried too hard to make everyone else happy. Even if it’s awkward or exhausting, that very hyped-up day is only part of your story, not the last word. The marriage itself won’t be perfect either, but the more you learn to take those imperfections and work through them in a loving and generous way, the stronger and more transformative the relationship can be. Maybe starting that work on the first day isn’t such a bad thing after all.”
