Champion Challenge Day #21 ” The realization “

Hey Friends! Hope you have a blessed and inspiring day. Today per usual we started off our day giving Thanks, got coffee, did errands, we both worked for a few hours this morning, are lunch and the rest. After resting in the air conditioning we got up to begin our work again. I did my cleaning first because things were getting cluttered. Made my calls, did 3 hours of Italian class then I did my work out, meditation, stretching, and currently working on my blog.

Feeling like I’am getting through my work out videos easier and my other exercises as well. Not as sore these days and I am beginning to feel stronger. Again, still no six pack yet. Lol I joke about it but I was really thinking I would see better results by now. It’s fine though, I know it will come it’s not even been a full month yet. Did I mention I can be impatient? Lol

• Clean up and organize ( Done )

With the rain today the internet has been slow but I’m still going to get this post out. We aren’t going to let it stop us! Lol As I was waiting for a stronger internet connection I do what I always do when I start to over think, I began organizing. Lol There is something about putting things were they belong and cleaning that helps me organize my thoughts.

In these thoughts I was realize something about myself. For a long time I made the statement ” I didn’t like people, I just wasn’t a people person.” but today I realized that it is not exactly true. Shocking I know…Lol In general I do like people. Still introverted and still not the person who is going to strike up a candid conversation on the train with a stranger, I’m too shy but I do like people.

I know a few people and my husband is one of them that can talk to complete strangers for hours. It amazes me! I just sit and watch him talking to everyone about nothing and everything at the same time and he is beautiful in this moment. He shines when he talks to people. Me on the other hand I want to disappear and am socially awkward. I don’t shine in these moments and they are not my most beautiful moments. Opposites attract they say. Lol

Getting back to the point, I do like people it was just a defense mechanism. I had been badly hurt and to defend and protect myself I decided that I just didn’t like people. I have experienced and seen lately that there are some really good people in this world. Also I have some strong back up if I need God and my husband. and I’m not alone anymore. This makes me feel stronger. I’am learning that not everyone is bad and I am more ready now because of them to be more open then before. What are some of the defense mechanisms that you recognize in yourself?
