"I choose to live by choice, not by chance; to make changes, not excuses; to be motivated, not manipulated; to be useful, not used; to excel, not to compete. I choose self-esteem, not self-pity. I choose to listen to my inner voice, not the random opinion of others. I choose to be me."  ~ Miranda Marrott

I love this quote that was written by Miranda Marrott, an author. Do you think you can choose to live by choice? I try to by looking after me and my own well-being first. Even before my teenagers to their dismay lol. I go into nature every day, I meditate and listen to uplifting affirmations and videos. The big lesson I have learnt over this year of shutdowns and restrictions is to listen to my inner voice and not to social or regular media and other random opinions. This gives me self esteem and being able to love myself and be a good role model for my children with mistakes being an inevitable part of living and parenting. Even though I am a solo parent, I don't regress into self-pity but rather think of my favorite things about any situation and/or person and have a positive mindset to bring me back to who I really am and I choose to have this positive attitude and then impulses and inspired thoughts come to me throughout my day. Rather than contrasting ideas, opinions and beliefs getting me down, I use these contrasting experiences to move me beyond my comfort zone. I choose each present moment to be me!
