Own It Work It
Educating Yourself
I educate myself! It
is the number one thing I do in regards to taking control of my life. I don’t just take peoples word on things, nor
do I just accept things as they are just because. I educate myself, do research and validate
things for myself. I am not perfect by
any means, but I just don’t accept things, never have, never will.
Everyone is different.
What may work for me may not work for others. I hope people truly understand that. I might burn off calories slower with much
more time invested than compared to someone else. I may need extra time to accomplish my
goals. That’s okay! Everyone is different, our genes are
different, our bodies work differently.
But this is one reason why I always, always try and do my own research
before just accepting it just because.
For example, shopping for products; just because someone
says this product is healthy, make sure you do your research and educate
yourself! Just because the product on
the shelf says “natural” doesn't necessarily mean it is “natural” it could be
just a marketing tactic the company uses to lure you into buying their product! So educate yourself and do your research!
When I first began my journey into natural / safe products,
I had no idea what I was getting into. I
believed the “truth” companies were selling although they were not truthful at
all. I thought oh wow, this is a safe
shampoo, only to find out it wasn't; that it had a ton of chemicals in it and I
was putting it on my head! Maybe that is
why my hair is thinning, in addition to my genetics, who knows. But what I do know is that I no longer accept
things as they are. I get proof and
validate claims and educate myself as much as possible on the topic of
reference.
Like with everything else, don’t just take my word because I
recommend something or I write about something.
Do your own research, educate yourself and discover what works for you! Find your own proof and own your decisions, don’t
just accept what others have to say.
