Baaaa! Time to break away from the flock

ImageHuman beings are born with completely unique fingerprints, from the moment we landed head first onto this earth we were meant to stand out. So why is it that all everyone wants is to fit in. From fashion trends to body types and social norms, most people do whatever it takes to be like everyone else. To stay unnoticed. They will happily follow along like a flock of sheep, succumbing to peer pressure even though it goes against their better judgement.Image

It is time to break away and take your own path. Do the things that make YOU happy. Wear the clothes that make you feel great. Live the life that you choose and deserve.

When it comes to being healthy and maintaining a fit lifestyle, people tend to go about it as a fashion trend. I can’t tell you how many people I see on Facebook posting pictures of their food, torsos, trainers and whey protein. While I think it is great that people are looking to improve their life, there comes a point where seeing pictures of a protein shake or abs becomes a little bit tiresome.

In my opinion, living a healthy lifestyle is much like religion. It is a personal and private affair. I’m not saying that being proud of your results is a bad thing but stay humble about it and keep most of your daily selfies to yourSELF.

That’s the problem, being fit has become another ‘popular’ trend. One girls friend decided to start working out, so she did the same, and then her sister started who then influenced her boyfriend, and so on. Until it is no longer the ‘cool’ thing to do and all of a sudden McDonald’s is back on the most wanted list and being healthy is no longer something to aspire to.

Do yourself a favor and make health and fitness a lifestyle. Be proud of it, but don’t broadcast it on every single social media site. Get to a place in your life where it is no longer a competition with the rest of the world, but something that makes you feel amazing and confident. You don’t need everyone else’s approval to be happy with yourself.
