My new mantra is "I'm worth the effort". Because I am. I'm trying to get in shape and lose a little bit of weight, but I found myself making excuses and struggling to stay motivated. I'm working towards working out more days than not and eating more healthy, homecooked meals. I set a goal to get to the gym at least three times in a week and cook for myself at least four times. Once I meet that goal consistently, I'm going to move the bar up! Reciting my new mantra has been really helpful in meeting my goals. Every time I get discouraged or start to feel lazy I repeat "I'm worth the effort" and it helps to find the extra bit of motivation I need.
This week's challenge at Handmade Love is to scrap a self portrait. At first I had a really super creative idea, but the idea for this layout came out of my new mantra. I got really excited about the layout and then realized that the picture wasn't technically a self portrait after I glued it down. The picture is from my visit to Europe when we were in the Black Forest. I think that day and the week following were some of the most amazing times of my life.

This is a great layout with a great thought behind it! You can totally do it! I have and I thought that was pretty much impossible! LOL!
I don't have a personal mantra or saying yet. But I may adopt yours. Because we are all worth the effort.
Great layout & love your mantra!
Love the layout! And yes, you ARE worth it!
Hi Rachel - I linked over here via a 2Peas thread. What an uplifting post!! You ARE worth the effort, and good for you! Keep it up! I think we are in a similar frame of mind. I don't have a personal mantra per se, but I do have motivating thoughts/ideas that I focus on. I'm looking forward to checking back here and hearing more about your efforts. TFS!! :)
Good for you, You are worth it. We all are. We just have to keep reminding ourselves of this.
Glitter!!! Love those glitter letters and LOVE this layout! So you!!!
