Revivify Me

If you have struggled with food issues, an eating disorder,  depression, poor self-image, and toxic relationships- these 4 amazing tips are definitely going to help motivate you, and help create a better version of you!  The process of transformation starts from within. It’s not easy, but it will be easier, if you remember that your new routine starts with the letter, R! So, here we go!

These are the 4 R’s on how to “Revivify” a 2.0 version of you!   

#1 Read

Read to make yourself a better person, partner, mother, or better employee.  If there are self-help books out there- read them on any topic that pertains to you.  Read Bible scriptures or any type of spiritual guide books.  Read positive affirmations out loud- Speak them over you right now; “You are beautiful, you are worthy, you are more than enough, you are smart, you are amazing, and you can do hard things” Read motivational quotes or read anything that motivates you. 

#2 Revitalize

Revitalize, revivify, and reinvent yourself.  The only way to do this is to find yourself and love yourself. If you feel lost, overweight, or depressed, and feel like you can’t escape the run down tired-of-life version of you- Think of this analogy; Like the metamorphosis of butterflies, who are truly amazing insects with transformative powers; That fact in itself is especially amazing because inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar actually turns into liquid as it transforms into a butterfly. The transformation is the most dramatic change in the life cycle of a butterfly.  Did you know that the caterpillars bodies are completely reorganized to produce the beautiful adult butterfly that emerges from the pupa?  So, it’s basically the same thing- you have to think of yourself as a caterpillar going into the chrysalis, transforming and reprogramming your mind- this is the only way to emerge and become the most beautiful and better version of you.  You need to completely restore the old, revive yourself, and renew the version of you into a 2.0 better version of yourself.   However, just like the butterfly transformation is a process, a personal transformation is a process- it doesn’t happen over night.  It takes time and patience.  The transformation comes from within.  It starts from the inside out.  The only way to transform is starting from the inside.  Make a list of who you want to become, what you want the 2.0 version of you to look like, what areas of your life need to be healed, and how you want to live your life. In order to “reinvent and revitalize” yourself you must re-program your brain- you have to completely change your old thought process and heal those internal parts that aren’t serving you. You must replace the old habits, with new healthy habits.

#3 Routine

Routine, routine, routine. Create your new routine- this is a big one!  You need to create new habits.  They say it takes 21 days to form a habit.  The next 21 days, challenge yourself to swap out the old wretched habits for the new good habits.  Change up your old routine.  If you consistently find the negative in everything, try replacing those thoughts with positive affirmations. If you stopped caring for yourself, start making time for you. Carve out “me time” in your schedule every day. If you go to Starbucks every day and get a sugary coffee drink, try replacing that with an Unsweetened Iced Green Tea with 1 packet of Splenda.  Green tea is an antioxidant and is proven to increase your metabolism.  If you normally drink soda, switch to water.  You have to change your old ways.  Eat the same foods-  lower carb, zero sugar foods to cleanse and detox your body.  Take the same supplements, and use the same anti-aging products, day after day.  Be consistent with your routine, so it can become a healthy habit. Your new healthy routine needs to be on autopilot, where you’re not even thinking of what to do next, you just do it.  The main point here is to form your new healthy routine.  Every day when you wake up, make a list, meditate, take your supplements, exercise, read, speak positive affirmations over your life, and form your new routine around eating healthy foods to nourish your brain and eat nutritious foods to give strength to your body. Find a hobby YOU love. Love yourself, pamper yourself, strengthen your body- lift weights, and end the day with a motivational quote.   If what you’re doing isn’t working- you’ve got to change it.  If you want to change, you need to change what’s not working-  strengthen your mind, body, and soul.    

#4 Repeat, Repeat, Repeat

This is the key.  If you have food issues or an eating disorder – this “routine” process WILL help you.  The key is repeating the same new good habits over and over.  Eating the same foods over and over.  Repeat the same affirmations over and over until they are engrained in your mind. Repeating your new healthy habits and routine over and over, will help you renew, and revive a new you in order to become a better 2.0 version of YOU.  Remember an overall transformation has to start from within- it has to start from the inside out.  Don’t throw yourself away by not taking care of yourself- you can’t give up on YOU.  Don’t speak anything negative – If you hear an inner voice telling you, “No, I’m always going to be overweight and tired, and I’m never going to be fit.  “I’m always going to be depressed, and I’m just going stay unhealthy mentally and physically”.  “This eating disorder defeated me”…blah blah blah.  No no no, girl!! Get that out of your head!! Get up – Get yourself out of that mindset.  Get that negative junk off you- shake it off right now.  Break those chains that are holding you back from creating a new you. Break the chains of depression off you, the food issues, that toxic relationship, break the chains from your eating disorder.  You can do this!
