Content with who I am...

I am so happy at the moment, I am content, I am pleased when I look in the mirror, I am fit and healthy and I am a joy to be around.  There is nothing better than feeling content with who I am, and the reason it is so good is that I can't remember ever feeling this before.
I've been known to put a lot of pressure on myself, yes I am ambitious, I always try to do better and achieve more than I currently am whether that is academic, sport, work, or fitness.  The past couple of years I've had depression, I've been on medication but went off that in August.  I went to psychiatrist and I did learn a lot through the sessions with her, but it hasn't been until the past couple of months (and even most recently as the past week) that things have really clicked and I feel absolutely content with who I am.
I have so much going for me, I am grateful for so many things in my life and I'm going to be a better person, a better partner (wife in 16 days), daughter, sister, auntie, friend, colleague & gym instructor all because I am content with who I am and I am loving life.
I have a full time job in the field I want to be in, I also have casual work as a fitness instructor (my passion), I have the best family and support network, I have great friends, work colleagues, mentors, instructors, role models.  I have a WONDERFUL fiance (soon to be husband), I have physical assets, I have my health, I am fit and I am a good example for others including my nephews & neice, my friends, colleagues, family & gym members where I teach.
I am no longer going to punish myself with negative self-talk, if it creeps in then I will just acknowledge it and move on.  I have taken the emotion out of food (that is amazing and I wonder why I never did that earlier!!), I am fit and healthy and living the life I want to live.  I have fitness goals for the future, but it isn't the end of the world if I don't achieve them due to injuries or anything else that gets in the way.  It is all life, I choose life, I will ride the ups and downs and I will have the most possible fun I can along the way.  I am proud of my achievements, I have been called and continue to be called an inspiration.  When I completed my ultra-marathon in May and raised money for my beautiful 5yr old nephew's eye operations along the way, it was one of the best feelings in my life.  An amazing feeling it is to do something for someone you love who appreciate it so much.  I want to continue to help others, I love seeing others do well, I love seeing them achieve their goals and I love being a great role model for them.  It makes me feel good to see others succeed and to see others have fun in life, living their life to their potential.
I choose LIFE, I love LIFE, and I will continue to live LIFE!!!
