Motivation To Get To The Gym

Going to the gym impacts our mental and physical well-being, but we all struggle to keep going to the gym regularly at time with everything life throws at us.

We all want to be the best version of ourselves, rather that be living up to our expectations by feeling or looking a type of way, or just feeling good about ourselves with where we are in life and all of the progress we have all made. Going to the gym makes us healthier overall and it is crucial for our physical and mental well-being, but we all struggle at times to even get to the gym with all the chaos and insecurities we humans have. Sometimes, we just need a reminder and little push to keep us going.

Whether you have been having a hard time getting to the gym or just struggling to find some motivation to go out in public to work out, I got you, and you got this, whatever your reasons may be.

For one, I know a lot of people who do not like going to the gym simply because they feel like they are going to be stared at or do not know what they are doing. SIS, you can go to the gym and rock what your mama gave you and improve your overall health. I know sometimes you feel you like you're being watched, which is disrespectful if people are but do not mind them, be in your own world and push yourself to your greatest limits.

Maybe you struggle to go to the gym because you feel like no progress will be made, or as much as you want in a certain time, or maybe you are just afraid of not reaching your goal in time. SIS, that does not matter, I promise progress WILL be made, it just takes time!!! Goals are so important to keep you motivated going to the gym, but reachable goals are where it is at!

Or maybe you struggle to go to the gym because you are stressed and you feel like you have no time (this is me). Girl, use your stress as a pusher, you have time to go to the gym even when it feels like you do not because taking breaks in-between work is SO valuable and SO SO SO important.

Whatever your reasons are for not going to the gym is valid and sometimes we need a break from going, but these reasons should not hold you back because you are strong sista. YOU got this!!

You made a promise to yourself to make progress, to be happy, to be strong, to be healthy mentally and physically, do not give up.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
