Being a single mom is just about the most confusing thing ever. What's sexy? How do you flirt? Am I attractive still? Am I ready to date again? .... Will I be single forever?
All questions that are perfectly normal to be asking yourself right now.
So, what did I do to ease some of this frustration? I created a list, entitled: Finding My Sexy.
1. Create a workout routine.
It doesn't have to be anything hard, hell, you don't even need to be trying to lose weight. Working out, in general, releases stress and promotes a healthy lifestyle. Creating a regular workout routine will simply make you feel better!
2. Eat better.
I decided to begin eating clean. Meaning organic fruits, vegetables with some lean meats. Turkey, chicken and fish. I've done this before and boy has it made such a difference in my day! I'm happier, more awake and if you pair the right foods in a meal - you will feel fuller, longer!
3. Listen to empowering music.
We all have different tastes but here's my current favorites.
I listen to music that brings me back to when I was looking for inspiration for my fashion scholarship sketches. Don't laugh ;)
1. Do my thang - Miley Cyrus
2. In My City - Ellie Goulding
3. Sail - AWOLNATION
4. Color|cut your hair.
I think every woman knows what a difference this makes in how we feel about ourselves. If you have reached that point in your life where you look in the mirror and the only thing you have to say is "blah", get a new cut or spice it up with a color you have never tried before!
5. Forgive.
Forgive anyone and anything that has come between you and happiness. Let your soul cleanse itself of all the hate and malice that crowds it's beauty. I think this is one of the most important things of all, just let go.
6. Pray.
I guess it's weird to add prayer into a list on how to find your sexy. But what is sexier than a woman of faith? Pray and ask God to relieve you of all your burdens, to allow you to see this new year as a fresh start. Ask Him to remove the bad and bring forth the good in your life. To give you the strength to feel better about yourself again.
7. Run a marathon to support a cause.
This whole thing is about empowering yourself right?! What's more empowering then brushing the dust off of those cute running shoes in your closet and running for something great? What are you passionate about? Google your state and what you'd like to run for, see what pops up! Most runs|walks start in the spring and go on through the fall. Now is a perfect time to find out about them and start getting into shape!
8. Start a blog.
Free writing is such an escape! It's one of the best ways to let go of whatever is on your mind and save it to look back on when everything is exactly how you envisioned it. Blogs are a way for you to inspire others who were or are in the same situation as you, like the same things as you, or just enjoy what you have to say. It's a great way to build a friend base and learn about yourself through the feedback of others and just simply reminiscing in the months to come.
9. Take your time.
Don't rush a thing. All those questions you are asking yourself, give yourself as much time as you need to figure them out. Never get into something new until you're at peace with your past. You're beautiful. But if you're ever feeling down and out, do things that make you happy, embrace the things that inspire you, wake up a little earlier and spend a little extra time in the mirror. Eat well, treat your body with respect. Pray, just talk to God...for as long as you need to. Forgive anything that's holding you back from spreading your wings. Because this is your time, you have a clean slate - you're starting over. ❤️
"Until you become strong belong alone with JUST GOD, you'll never know if you're choosing someone out of love or loneliness."
