One thing I believe is important for us all to take into account is that: Self control is strength. Learning to find calmness in your situations is a true mastery. We have to learn how to find that point where our mood isn’t shifted based on insignificant actions, hard circumstances, harsh opinions, and stressful scenarios. When we do this, when we learn to keep composite while navigating we gain control of our own lives. It’s allowing our minds, and truth of what we know to overpower our emotional state.
It doesn’t get easier, you just get stronger.
My motto is always “enjoy the finer things in life”. That used to mean indulge or splurge whenever I want. I’ve learned a new respect for balance in my life, and in my nutrition. Although sometimes I splurge and grab some Ben & Jerry’s or a cookie-I’m intentional about it now. Here are some tips that have helped me with my daily sweet tooth splurging! As for the real sweets-I save it for special occasions that way I TRULY enjoy it!
More than likely we’ve already “met” but if not... HEY!
You’ll see me around as Brandi Raines Beauty but here in this slice of the World Wide Web just call me Brandi! This is a space I aim to create positivity, hope, laughter, faith, confidence, and so much more. I’m looking forward to connecting with you in new ways, and sharing even MORE about me and my crazy crew!
Our house is loud, our hands are full, and our hearts are even FULLER. Even though we are all SO different- one thing we share in common is that we LOVE fiercely and without boundaries. You’ll always hear us singing the good tunes! From Waylon and Willie, to Spider-Man and Elsa, all the way to Way maker (our fav worship song)! Our family is a far cry from perfect, but together we have everything we could ever need!
Food and I used to have a real love-hate relationship. Anyone feel me on this? I’ve seen and done it all when it comes to diet fads and workout trends. Don’t hear me wrong, what you work for will work for you. But you gotta find YOUR groove. What I really mean is there is no RIGHT way to fit. Keto, paleo, low carb, you choose. Then stick with it. Truthfully I hate the word “diet” it sounds so depriving! But I’ll tell you how I’ve spent hours and hours trying to get results in the gym, come to realize abs are made in the kitchen.👏🏻🤪
