Week #2 & 1, Introspection= self-observation!

Week # 2 is finished and in a couple of days I’m finally leaving to compete and as the days go by I can’t help to get a little anxious, at some point is normal. This past week has been so intense in every possible way, it seems that the closer you get to your goal or finish line there are obstacles that appear and if you’re not careful it can easily take your peace and focus towards what you’re supposed to be doing. 

Introspection is the self-observation and reporting of conscious inner thoughts, desires and sensations that we have while we are in a process of life. It is a conscious mental and usually purposive process relying on thinking, reasoning, and examining one's own thoughts, feelings, and, in more spiritual cases, one's soul.

At this point being so close to the event I have to trust the process and specially God that he will always take care of me because He guides my life. So  looking inward; specifically, the act or process of self-examination, I have to keep thinking positive.  And guess what?  This week at the very end of it, everything finally falls in place.  I kept doing what I needed to, training, cardio, diet, working with my clients and during this process God had everything lined up to help me going.

From positive messages coming  my way, to special and amazing persons surrounding me during this whole process: My Diva Angels Vanessa & Veronica your vision and comforting advice held me through all. And a special person that God sent into my life, he has been pushing me all the way since the beginning, making sure that not even for a second that the thought of quitting could come to cross my mind. So to you my sweet P.I.T.A. THANK YOU!!!! And that word dosent even starts to cover it! Just thinking of my chocolate brownie and bananas that I will enjoy Saturday night!!!

So my friends it doesn’t matter if you’re getting ready to compete or anything new that you decide to do in your life lose weight, run a marathon, etc. never forget:  Why are doing it?  Enjoy the process getting there; be opened minded to try new methods, learn all the lessons that are in store for you, and have fun so when you arrived to the finish line it doesn’t matter the outcome, always remember:  just for doing it that makes you a winner!!!!

Keep posted and the next time we meet I will be sharing my experience of the whole competition with you guys, thank you for joining me during this process!!
