Everyone has something about them that they would like to change. Whether it’s getting in better shape or getting your mind in shape, everyone can improve something! Here are some final tips before I part with Passion Posts.
Physical Health:
- Accept the fact that each person’s body is different, and you may not be able to look like Mila Kunis.
- If you want to lose weight (healthily), focus on what you eat! You can workout a hundred times a week but if you still put bad foods into your body, you won’t see the results you want. And don’t forget to drink lots of water.
- Target one area of your body each workout. You can’t expect to do one workout and have your entire body change overnight. Your body takes time to change, don’t pressure it!!
- DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK A TRAINER AT THE GYM! Do not feel like because you’re a girl you can’t go into the pit at the White Building! Just do it go for it you’ll feel so strong!
Mental Health:
- Take everything one day at a time. If you look at all the work you need to do it can get incredibly overwhelming. To avoid that, just simply take things as they come.
- Don’t compare yourself to others. As Americans, we tend to be very competitive (especially as honors students!) and this can cause so much unnecessary stress. Worry about yourself and things that impact you.
- Do the best you can. That’s all you can do, and if you truly work as hard as you can, be proud of yourself regardless of the outcome!
- BREATHE! We’re in college. You don’t need to have everything figured out.
Most importantly, never be afraid to ask for help. People need people. It’s okay to need someone sometimes. Don’t be afraid to get counseling if talking to your parents or friends isn’t enough. Always do what’s best for you!
Have a great rest of your freshman year!!
