At the LCC event last week, I met Annica Englund and her friend Bea who had just returned from a training session, and when I learned that I had barely trained since high school, we started discussing that training and beauty are connected.<\/p>\n

I have thought a lot about this topic afterwards and thought I would share my thoughts as it feels extremely relevant :)<\/p>\n

First of all, I absolutely agree, exercise is not just about beauty because you get a nice body from exercising, but also because exercise and a good diet also show results on skin, hair and nails. You feel good about training, and if you feel good, you look good. But I still do not want to put a = sign between training and beauty. If I feel good, I radiate beauty, regardless of whether I am completely unfixed, but feeling good is about so much more!<\/p>\n

The time after high school has been quite stressful for me, both professionally and privately. I worked in a lunch restaurant 5 days a week for almost a year, and since then there has been a focus on driving licenses, the new webshop and the blog (do not think any of you have any idea how much work is really behind).<\/p>\n

Jag k\u00e4nde att det blev s\u00e5 himla mycket m\u00e5sten f\u00f6r att vara “perfekt”. Man ska inte bara g\u00f6ra ett topnotch-jobb utan \u00e4ven alltid vara snygg, ha en st\u00e4dad l\u00e4genhet, \u00e4gna mycket tid \u00e5t familj, v\u00e4nner, pojkv\u00e4n and<\/em> \u00a0exercise several times a week. If I tried to have all the balls in the air, it was still things that became half-hearted, and therefore I chose to prioritize the training completely for a while. Because you know what I think? The body (and appearance) feels worse from stress than from being untrained! I can feel good without exercising, but I can not feel good when I am stressed.<\/p>\n

Same with diet. Because I do not exercise, I try to eat healthier than usual, it is both good and healthy! But if I treat myself to something useless, I enjoy it to 100%. Many people have such a bad conscience when they eat junk that they do not enjoy it, and then it is really unnecessary. Either you let yourself enjoy it, or you can just as well not.<\/p>\n

\nNow during the summer, however, I do not have as stressful schedule, so I have started to grab the training piece as well :)<\/p>\n

Jag vill \u00e4ven till\u00e4gga sj\u00e4lvf\u00f6rtroende i denna kategori. Detta \u00e4r den viktigaste men knepigaste biten. Jag tror det \u00e4r lite som att sluta r\u00f6ka, man m\u00e5ste ha viljan och verkligen best\u00e4mma sig f\u00f6r att lyckas \u00e4ndra sitt tankes\u00e4tt! St\u00e4ll dig sj\u00e4lv fr\u00e5gan “vill jag sl\u00f6sa bort tid i livet p\u00e5 att m\u00e5 d\u00e5ligt \u00f6ver saker jag \u00e4nd\u00e5 inte kan f\u00f6r\u00e4ndra?” f\u00f6r det \u00e4r ju s\u00e5, de flesta brister man anser att man har sitter bara i ditt eget huvud. Och som jag ins\u00e5g n\u00e4r jag valde att l\u00e4gga tr\u00e4ningen p\u00e5 hyllan helt ett tag – ingen kommer tycka att jag \u00e4r perfekt i alla fall s\u00e5 jag kan lika bra g\u00f6ra som I<\/em> \u00a0want and let myself feel good. As long as I feel good about it.<\/p>\n

Jag s\u00e4ger som Dalai Lama – “Choose to be optimistic, it feels better”<\/p>\n

\"Dalai-Lama\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had very bad self-confidence before, and even though of course I still get a slap in the face sometimes, I feel that I have managed to get away from it. In short, by trying to be as positive as possible and not waste my time on things that affect me negatively - and then I mean both thoughts, people, and things. I began to think about what qualities I wanted others to look at, and realized that it was basically just personality-related qualities such as average, happy and optimistic. The rest is just a bonus!<\/p>\n

Folk som tar mer energi \u00e4n vad dom ger st\u00e4nger jag ute, och negativa tankar byter jag ut eller f\u00f6r\u00e4ndrar till n\u00e5gonting positivt ist\u00e4llet. Om jag k\u00e4nner mig ful en dag s\u00e5 t\u00e4nker jag “s\u00e5 l\u00e4nge jag inte l\u00e5ter min ful-k\u00e4nsla ta \u00f6ver utstr\u00e5lningen s\u00e5 kommer ingen m\u00e4rka hur ful jag \u00e4r” och s\u00e5 sk\u00e4mtar jag om att dom bredvid mig i alla fall kommer k\u00e4nna sig snyggare och det \u00e4r ju inte fel att kunna bidra med det heller :)<\/p>\n

It takes time to change your mindset, but basically bad self-confidence consists of negative thoughts, so instead of trying to change yourself to be perfect in your own eyes, or try to teach yourself that you are good enough which is also very difficult, you can fool the brain by taking a detour around the problem and just trying to become the world's most positive person instead - then your positive thoughts about yourself will automatically lead to a better self-confidence. And if you like yourself, so do others!<\/p>\n

I feel good now.<\/strong> Jag \u00e4r inte helt n\u00f6jd med min livssituation i Gimo, men jag f\u00e5r det att funka och vet jag att jag och Miska kommer ha r\u00e5d med n\u00e5gonting eget n\u00e4rmare Uppsala\/Stockholm till slut! Jag jobbar med n\u00e5gonting jag \u00e4lskar och jag g\u00e5r heelt och h\u00e5llet min egen v\u00e4g! Nu \u00e4r webshopen \u00f6ppen och ist\u00e4llet f\u00f6r att stressa med “n\u00e4sta steg” s\u00e5 t\u00e4nker jag jobba med det jag har och observera var det h\u00e4r tar mig n\u00e5gonstans, och njuta lite av sommaren\u00a0:)<\/p>\n

With this post, I am not saying that my way of feeling good is the right one, I am saying that you must dare to trust yourself and above all listen to yourself to know how to go about it.<\/p>\n
