Hey Herp A Derpers!
On this 10th episode I want to share with you a personal story, a Herp A Derp moment. To remind you, a Herp A Derp moment is an expression when someone has come across hiccups in life we may not understand but learn to rise above. Herpes is the Herp A Derp moment in my life. Each day I am learning to love myself more by treating my body as a temple … of the mind, body and soul.
I was reading through my personal blog a few days ago and I stumbled across one of them that really spoke to me. Negatives Become Positive Outcomes was written before I was diagnosed but still holds the same relevancy on going through the good, the bad, the brave and vulnerable parts of our personal journey’s.
We all talk about our personal journey’s, but what keeps us going? It is the personal story about the relationship with me and yourself. To be here in your present moment. Whether that is right now or after this episode, I want you to ask and remind yourself of the moments, people and things that keep you going. I haven’t always been this kind, nor did I motivate myself to do this much before.
As we move onto the next hour, day, month and year, it’s always good to reflect back, not look back. When we reflect, we are strong. When we look back, we make ourselves weak in seeing what could have been done differently. Herp A Derp moments about conquering that.
