The First Lady’s number one health rule: Give yourself permission to be happy.


 Give yourself permission to be happy.
I loved this article. Probably because it really hit home for me. While I was a mother of 4 daughter’s. I was so busy trying to work 40 hours a week, and be super Mom when I was home. If you have never raised 4 daughter’s at one time, man was it a breaking point in my life. In the beginning I didn’t do too badly at it. But as the need for our families income to increase I found myself working.


I ended up getting pretty sick from all the tension that I was experiencing. My body took on it’s own mind, and no matter how hard I tried to get that control back, the mind was much more powerful than I could manage. I started having anxiety attacks, which would end up limiting my driving, or any kind of social appearances. I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out what the heck was happening. And the more I read the worse it actually got. I was trying so hard to find a solution, and wanted desperately to put a name to it. It wasn’t who I was, and I knew it. I just wanted to be myself again.
I never was the same person again, but I am living a more comfortable life, than I ever imagine would be possibly.. If I would have listened more to what my body was telling me, I don’t think it would have shut down like it did. So when I read this great article, I wanted to share it with every one. I have been really focusing on myself this past year, learning how to exercise, eat better, and I have lost 20 pounds. I am learning how to put Discipline into my life, realizing that I have two options to choose from, I can live with Discipline or I can live with Regret!!
Enjoy the article I want to share with you. Great advice from our first Lady Michelle Obama… View article here
