how to let go


Welcome back to my blog! 

In this post I am going to talk about the importance of letting go.  2019 was an amazing year for me and was filled with some of the most joy filled moments I have ever experienced. 2019 was also filled with some difficult situations and struggles that I have had to work through within myself.  The reason I am saying all this is because this blog post has been something I've needed to hear for a while and I hope that it helps you out in some way, like it did for me.  

I found this quote on Pinterest a few days ago and it really sparked my thoughts, so I decided to write about it! I have recently been reading a book called "to hell with the hustle" and in this book, the author discusses our thought patterns and how our thoughts turn into our habits and our habits turn into our everyday reality. So, ultimately if we want to change our everyday reality, we must first start with changing our thoughts. (I highly recommend, if you are looking for a new read!)

I think it is important to find contentment and peace with where you are currently in life. This can be easier said than done because I know that sometimes we are stuck in situations that we have no control over. These situations can be related to our work environment, our family situations, our friendships, or even our relationships. I think in order to find happiness with our life; we have to be willing to let certain things go.

We all have reasons for why we hold onto situations and the hurt that we feel, when really it's simple: these feelings are heavy and they are weighing us down. Sometimes we need to realize that friendships will change, people will let us down, and life doesn't happen exactly as we planned it. 

The truth is that we need to get real with ourselves and realize what we need to let go of so we can grow.  If we want blessings, joy, and good things in our life, we need to be available and open to them.  Holding onto pain, prevents you from appreciating the current blessings in your life. 

A huge first step is identifying the things that you need to let go of, the situations that you need to move past, and things that may be weighing you down and figure out how you personally need to work through them. Sometimes this means talking and voicing your feelings to someone that you trust so you can work through an issue. Other times, this means putting up necessary boundaries and walking away from a negative situation that is making you feel less than. Whatever it is, you know what needs to be done.


My personal goal for 2020 is being open to whatever the future holds and focusing on the all blessings and people currently in my life.  God knows what is going to happen in the future and even though we may not always understand the reason behind certain situations, HE does.  You are free to let that situation or person go because there are only better things and bigger blessings coming your way!


I hope that you guys enjoyed this simple post and that it gave you some encouragement!

About Me

Hi, I'm Abbi and welcome to my blog! I’m from Fort Wayne, Indiana and am 21 years old.   I am currently a senior in college and am working towards being a wellness coach and personal trainer, and am majoring in recreation administration. The most important things in my life are my family, friends, wonderful boyfriend, and my faith.  Another thing I should mention is that I have been a Type One Diabetic since I was 14.   The disease is a part of my everyday life, and although it has brought many challenges, I have learned about myself and grown so much because of it. People tend to assume that I can't have sugar or sweets because of my disease, but that isn't the case at all.  Over the years, I  have learned to find a balance between staying healthy and still enjoying my life. I guess that's the sweet spot, and how I came up with the name of my blog.  Writing h

Hi guys! Welcome back to another fitness blog post. Today I'm going to share one of my favorite ab workouts. I usually do this twice a week and I've really noticed results! You don't need any equipment, just your own body weight and it takes only 8-10 minutes. Just because you don't have access to a gym doesn't give you an excuse to not love and move your body! *Do 25 repetitions of each exercise* Sit and Taps Russian Twists *I used a dumbbell for this exercise but you definitely don't need one! Sit and Twist Mountain Climbers Circle Crunches *Be sure to squeeze your core throughout the entire movement. Kick out to Reverse Crunch Flutter Kicks Toe Taps Side Crunches Bicycles Plank And that's it! Happy Sweating 💓🤪

how to stay healthy on vacation

  Recently, I just  returned from a week vacation in Florida with my fiance and my family. It was such a relaxing time, and it felt awesome to have a break from work and everyday life. I typically don't worry too much about sticking to my workout routine on vacations because I think it's healthy to rest every once in a while to prevent burnout.  But l et’s be honest, vacations are where healthy habits go out the window. Late nights, eating out every day, missing your daily workout, midnight snacks…….. we can be quick to excuse our overindulgence because we are “enjoying ourselves” and “living in the moment." That is, until we return from our vacation feeling sick and in need of another vacation to recover from our last vacation. This can be especially unmotivating if you’re like me and are the type that loves daily routine, workouts and eating healthy. This doesn't always have to be the case though. Over the years I have discovered simple things to do wh
