<b>how to boost your self confidence!</b></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
first, if you know anyone struggling with self confidence or<a href="http://xokxt.blogspot.com/2015/10/body-positivity.html"> body positivity</a>, send them the link to this post! you never know, it may help someone. be sure to share this post on social media as well! </div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
sooooo, i know a lot of people, including myself struggle with self confidence. you're not alone...everyone at some point in their life, struggles with self confidence! and today i will be sharing some tips on how to boost your self confidence! now by self confidence, i don't necessarily only mean body image, (i'll do a separate post on how to boost <a href="http://xokxt.blogspot.com/2015/10/body-positivity.html">body positivity</a>), i mean the confidence you have in yourself to do a certain thing or feel a certain way.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
google defines it as: <u>self-con·fi·dence</u> (<i>noun</i>)</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
a feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
so what are the ways to boost this you ask???</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
1. build off of your mistakes - we all make mistakes in our lifetime, we are human, but you have to learn how to build off of those mistakes and learn from them. this will not only boost your self confidence, but make you a better person overall.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
2. have a positive outlook on life - if you sit around mopping around about how bad your life is and how bad life is in general, you're going to have a bad vibe and aura. to avoid this, have a positive outlook on life and be super optimistic. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
3. don't be afraid to fail - a lot of people don't pursue a certain thing because fear of failure, this really plummets ones self confidence. so, if there is something that you want to do, do it!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
4. don't let others determine your self confidence - sometimes, people like to tell you who you are. don't let this happen. it's called SELF confidence because it is the confidence that you give yourself, not the confidence that others give you. by letting another person determine this in your life, it really takes a toll on your self confidence. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
i hope that these tips really helped you ;3 </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
i know when i struggle with self confidence, these are the thing i think of.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
thanks for reading!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
sooo, i woke up around 9:30am which was super sweet because i usually wake up around 6:30am for school. and after that i got washed up and put some comfy clothes on, then started applying for jobs. if you guys didn't know, my birthday was on december 10th so i'm officially 16 years old. meaning that in my state, i can get a job! so yeah, after applying to so many jobs, i'm just chilling cleaning up my spotify playlists and listening to new music! that's always fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it feels so good to be out of school for 3 weeks, even though i miss all of my friends, i do NOT miss the work load and the walking.</div>

<img height="640" src="http://40.media.tumblr.com/da7d07957f56e4cf34a9f6e33303baf0/tumblr_nub3onjxUx1u796r0o1_500.jpg" width="425" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>body posi</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>what is it?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
body positive -<span style="font-family: inherit;"> a<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;">ccepting your body as it is and attempting to make everyone else feel comfortable in their own skin as well</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>why it shouldn't be shamed</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it takes a lot of people a long time to actually love themselves. so when they're finally body positive you shouldn't shame them because you don't know how hard it was for them to overcome that feeling of self hate. so by saying being body positive is being a "hoe" or "cocky" you can be sending someone who finally loves themselves back to phase 1, and back to that self hate stage. so before you try to slut shame that girl/boy for posting a revealing pic, think about the outcome you might have on their self confidence. let them do what they want it's not affecting you at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>how to be body posi</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
becoming body positive is a process. we as people, have to learn how to love ourselves. we have to stop comparing ourselves to other people and realize that we can only be us. we can't let other people dictate the type of people that we want to be. if you're not happy with you body, work hard and change it. if your not happy with the state of your mind, research hard, gain knowledge, get educated. if your mentally ill, think positive and you slay with that mental illness. never let anything or anyone get in the way of you being body positive. love yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by the way, the phrase "if you don't love yourselves how do you expect others to?" is total bs, let other people love you while you're finding yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happy october!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
to be completely honest, ive been super lazy lately. maybe more tired than lazy, but still lazy. my college classes started on monday (<i>intro to public speaking + personal health</i>) and so that means ive been having straight classes all day, with no lunch, and one study hall anyone in their right mind knows that that is insane, walking up and down campus to classes ALL DAY long in the blazing heat??? so then when i get home all i want to do is chillax you know? so i eat, make sure i get my 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical (yes i walk on campus everyday, but i still like the extra workout), then i have to shower, eat again, then im doing homework and studying until i fall asleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so you can clearly see, i haven't really had a time for blogging, but maybe that's just an excuse. when things pick up though, i definitely will have more time to blog, but right now im still adjusting. anyways, you guys really seemed to like my "<a href="http://xokxt.blogspot.com/2015/08/why-black-lives-matter.html">why black lives matter</a>" post so YES i will be doing more post like that soon, you can also check out my <a href="http://xokxt.blogspot.com/2015/08/sexuality-different-types.html">sexuality + the different types</a> post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
what is my motivation?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how do i keep myself going everyday?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what keeps me from giving up?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>these questions raced through my head today.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
today, i thought about everything that motivated me to be as successful as i could, mentally and physically. some days, seriously, i just feel like giving up. i feel like i'll never have my dream body, that i'll never be done with school, that i'll never be as smart as i could potentially be. but i don't want to talk about the negatives. i want to talk about 3 positive motivation tips that always keeps me going.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><b><i><u>music</u></i></b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
my music is seriously everything, my music shows other who i am and is also my way of coping with everyday struggles. when i don't feel like reading those last 50 pages of the chapter, i take a break, put on my <a href="https://play.spotify.com/user/okaaykat/playlist/6uSDdQu8eqGLF6t8hblNy9">spotify playlist</a>, and just listen for a while. it calms me down and helps me deal with stress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u>art</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for some reason looking at art pieces, calms my mind as well. something so aesthetically pleasing, makes my mind go at ease. i usually go on <a href="http://tumblr.com/">tumblr</a> or <a href="http://pinterest.com/">pinterest</a> to view art, <a href="http://xosadness.tumblr.com/">my tumblr blog</a> says a lot about my aesthetic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u>optimism</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thinking of my future definitely helps me stay motivated. knowing that some day i will be successful if i just go through this hardship now, makes me want to focuse and succeed more than ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">disclaimer</span></u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">i am in no way saying that white people don't matter, i just don't believe in that #AllLivesMatter hashtag, its so disrespectful to me. ill explain it more below. this post is simply just my own ideas and thoughts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">lets start with a definition</span></u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">what exactly is a poc - POC stands for "people of color" everyone except caucasian people, i know the title says "black people" but i want to revert to all POC.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i><u>my opinions</u></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">as i stated above, the #AllLivesMatters hashtag is useless and so disrespectful. basically that hashtag is taking away the value of #BlackLivesMatter. there is no doubt in my mind that everyone knows, all lives matter. of course they do, but stop trying to devalue the meaning of black lives. if 50 houses were on fire (POC) and 50 houses were perfectly fine(white people). would you need a hashtag to represent that all of the houses matter when only half of them need actual help?? another example is the #SkinnyGirlAppreciation hashtag, now yes, skinny girls do need to be appreciated BUT this hashtag was created to take away from the #FatGirlAppreciation hashtag. SKINNY GIRLS ARE ALREADY APPRECIATED! everywhere in our media, we see skinny is what everyone wants to be, skinny is the ideal image that the media portrays. so again why does it need to be appreciated? im getting off topic, but anyways, with all of the injustice that has been going on with white cops and poc, you can clearly see that these people poc are doing nothing wrong, they are being arrested and killed </span>because<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of the melanin in their skin. young children my age are being killed </span>because<span style="font-family: inherit;"> they don't know how dangerous it is in our society to be <i>colored</i>. this is why black lives matter. we need to teach our youth that they matter even when everyone around them is saying otherwise.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">i went to all of my periods (9) my brain is literally so fried because of so much reading (which i should be use to because i read novels so much) but since i am forced to read, its not as fun and more of a chore. im home now watching <i>steven universe</i> on cartoon network, getting ready to start my homework (so much homework omg) and just decided i would right today's journal entry. ok guys, i swear these will get more interesting as the year progresses because beginnings of school are so boring and uneventful.</span></div>

<br />
so basically i woke up today (yayyyyyy!!!) and realized i woke up 30 minutes late (ughhhhhh). as i rushed out of the house i remember i had 2 map tests today basically test that see how much you improved from the beginning of the school year to the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i went to my first period, which was study hall. and read basically for an hour from my public speaking textbook. next, i went to my honors enlglish class and took a map test (that i didn't even finish), and left. and then, *drum roll please* I HAD ANOTHER STUDY HALL! now you guys may be wondering why i have so many study halls, idk if you remember me telling you i go to an early college, so basically the college i go to, classes haven't started yet. BUT my highschool classes have, so i go to school take my highshool classes and whatever college class i have, i just go to study hall until those classes begin (august 31.).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anywho, after 3rd period i went to my 4/5 period which is lunch (a.k.a my fave time of the day). after lunch i have ugly honors american history, all we did was take notes, which was very boring of course. after that, i went to honors biology, we had to review stuff from years ago so it was pretty chill, and lastly, period 9, i had geometry, which i had another map test in (which i actually scored really high on, i dont even know how).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and now im at home, procrastinating doing homework i love my life!</div>

as true love fades</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sadness reappears through the darkness</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my past is catching up with me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when i thought i could escape it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it came and engulfed me in my own misery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the process none but five minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a tear fell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not only for my love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but for my pain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it came like waves</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
slow then all at once</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my breath was shortened</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
why not he love me back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for all the signs pointed yes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sadly he pointed no</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's not the right time for love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that's what he says</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the future holds many dreams</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but now i wander in my past</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hoping for a chance to escape</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and enter my future</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My last post about feminism got a lot of responses, and that makes me so happy tbh. Today i'll be teaching you <b>how to become a feminist! </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><img src="http://33.media.tumblr.com/aaa7d9c849407ab4c6db4432a555e056/tumblr_mjh03zZpkN1s5pk7xo1_500.gif" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you don't know what a feminist is, I have a <a href="http://xokxt.blogspot.com/2015/04/feminism-what-is-it.html">post </a>where I talk all about what it is.</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Types of feminist</span></u></i></b></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Liberal, Socialist, Culture & Radical.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Liberal -</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is the variety of feminism that works within the structure of mainstream society to integrate women into that structure.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Socialist -</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Socialist feminism is a movement that calls for an end to capitalism through a socialist reformation of our economy. Basically, socialist feminism argues that capitalism strengthens and supports the sexist status quo because men are the ones who currently have power and money. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Cultural -</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cultural feminism is a movement that points out how modern society is hurt by encouraging masculine behavior, but society would benefit by encouraging feminine behavior instead.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Radical -</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Radical feminism is a movement that believes sexism is so deeply rooted in society that the only cure is to eliminate the concept of gender completely. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">(to learn more about these here are some links you can visit) > <a href="http://www.uah.edu/woolf/feminism_kinds.htm">1</a> <a href="http://study.com/academy/lesson/feminism-types-and-definitions-liberal-socialist-culture-radical.html">2</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"><b><i><u>How to become a feminist</u></i></b></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;">It's very simple actually. Repeat after me, "I am a feminist, because I believe women and men should be equal."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;">THERE YOU GO, YOU'RE NOW A FEMINIST!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;">CONGRATULATIONS</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;">!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Now you don't have to be a radical feminist or an active feminist, you can basically just be a feminist. You don't have to go out and rally and such.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">I hope this post clarified a few more things!! More post will come in the future if you like this topic. Be sure to leave comments below about how you feel about feminism, EVERYONE'S OPINION IS ACCEPTED!</span></div>

<img src="http://40.media.tumblr.com/56abe5f8da6fc9a21aef22ac80fbc9d9/tumblr_n6nrjpAS5B1qaq2dyo1_1280.png" height="563" width="640" /><br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">FEMINISM</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's define <i>feminism</i> shall we??</div>
<div style="margin-left: -20px; text-align: center;">
<span data-dobid="hdw">fem·i·nism</span><span class="lr_dct_ph">ˈfeməˌnizəm/</span><i>noun</i><i><br /></i>the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.</div>
<div style="margin-left: -20px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: -20px; text-align: center;">
I'ts as simple as that. People blow it way out of proportion, it's not a group of men hating women or a group of women trying to take over. We want to be equal to men, you may say that we are but we're not at all. Issues come up all the time which back up the idea that we NEED feminism. This is why I'm a feminist. </div>
<div style="margin-left: -20px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: -20px; text-align: center;">
Now some men are intimidated that women are speaking up, they feel like they have to be included in everything so that is where the phrase <b><i>meninism</i></b> was born. Basically meninism is defined as a group of men who support feminism and believe in feminist principles. Now I'll only state this one, MENINISM IS NOT A THING! It's just a made up thing that men have created to once again make feminism about themselves.</div>
<div style="margin-left: -20px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: -20px; text-align: center;">
<b><i>Sexist</i></b> and <b><i>misogynistic</i></b> view are a conspiracy that feminist are trying to stop.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>wanderlust.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a human being is made up of so many things</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no not organs, lungs, or a heart</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but of buildings and towns and sidewalks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all of the small towns you've driven by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the small parking lots you've crossed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
those intricate doorways you've passed through</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they make you who you are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
those wanderlust feelings are what makes you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they make up you as a being</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
imagine all the places you've been</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are now black and white</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the beauty is lost but not the soul</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now imagine where you are going</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
colorful and vibrant</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the beauty is not yet to be seen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you are not your looks or even your personality</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you are the art that you love, the places you have gone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you are an open mind of wonderful things</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<img height="640" src="http://36.media.tumblr.com/e0428d02b3343b994ff09b3a44dd25fb/tumblr_nod5u2gjod1r98nzso1_1280.jpg" width="640" /><br />
So, I've been thinking about this for quite some time now. And since a new year is beginning, I really want to take action and stay consistent.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to be fit & healthy, And no, I'm not saying that I'm overweight & unhealthy, I'm just saying I want to lead a healthier lifestyle.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where do I begin?</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
EATING</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, by leading a healthier lifestyle, I'll have to eat right. I'll have to cut back on my sugar intake and eat the "right" fats. Also I'll have to make sure I'm getting all of my calories and nutrients for the day. The key to this is to resist your urges. Because omg guys....You don't know how many times a day I just want to scarf down a piece of cake. But I have to resist that urge of junk food.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WORKING OUT</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now I'm currently obsessed with doing Blogilates. Like Cassey is amazing and she makes my body so sore! So my plan is to workout 5 days out of the week, Monday-Friday. Then let my body rest on the weekends. Another thing I'm doing are these "challenges". Basically they're like the "flat abs challenge", "squats challenge", "planks challenge", and so on. I guess they're suppose to make you see results by the end of the month. And I'll start these today (Jan. 1st). HAPPY NEW YEARS BTW!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
STAYING CONSISTENT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sooooooo the hard part. Yeah everyone says they want to change at the start of a new year. But most of us change for like the first couple of weeks, then were back to our old habit. Am I right?!? So another one of my goals is to stay consistent with this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
MOTIVATION</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay I have 3 motivation thingy's to share with you all. First of all, I have a fitspo (fitness+inspiration=fitspo) instagram account! The name is @fab.fitspo (click <a href="http://instagram.com/fab.fitspo">here</a> to view it). Also I just started using this app called PumpUp. It's kind of link a fitness instagram.

<div style="text-align: center;">
