FOH with New Years resolutions that are about getting fit or die trying. The all or nothing mentality that a person is not worthy of nice clothes or respect because they don't have chiseled abs or are lean ass-kicking powerhouses is a load of BS. Not all Olympians look the same or have the same body type, right? Long distance runners got that long lean thing, but gymnasts tend to be muscley short people. I propose the best way to be fit. as a new years promise to yourself, is to love your physique first. TLC is what we need! This is about knowing your body is enough and whole, but always recognizing what you want to do differently. I encourage treating yourself with love and not with hate. Do tyrannical rulers ever succeed for long periods of time? The people who live in that territory historically act out of fear and harbor negative feelings towards their ruler (like Genghis Khan). How is your body and mind any different? The saying of "mind over matter" supports the hierarchy of the mind. In this context, one's mind can decide the fate of the physical. It rules the body. If the mind hates the body, the two will never work in unison for long-term success. With this concept, I want to provide some songs which express genuine love and appreciation of one's most natural self, may that be for the physical, mental, or emotional state. We out here in this new year tryna love ourselves first. Bright - Kehlani I have been loving on this song of late. Kehlani sings about the struggles of being a young girl whom the mainstream doesn't consider as beautiful and profitable as other forms of beauty. The lack of representation leads to struggles with self-esteem. The same can be said of a story she narrates of boy who is normal, but feels the consequences of toxic masculinity. The standards for men are just as harmful. The main message I want to promote is to love yourself first, and all else will follow. This was the song that inspired me to follow this theme. It felt relevant and important to share quality music about issues of the soul.
