I hope that you\u2019re having an amazing week! I\u2019m taking the day off today because both kids are under the weather\u2026 and it\u2019s my bday!<\/p>\n<p>TBH, I don\u2019t typically enjoy birthdays. Another year on the calendar; a tangible reminder\u00a0of the things I want to achieve but haven\u2019t yet accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>This year feels different. This year, I just feel gratitude for this life, our family, our friends that feel like family, and for another year of amazing memories. <span class=\"s1\">I heard a rumor that 40s are even better than 30s, so I\u2019m hoping it\u2019s true!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=167479\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-167479 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-167479\" src=\"https:\/\/yorbestlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/birthday-4-1024x1001-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1001\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the things I learned after four decades on this beautiful planet:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Start each day with gratitude. It will affect your mindset and actions for the entire day.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 It\u2019s ok to change your mind when presented with new information.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Trust in God with all your heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Just because it works for one person, doesn\u2019t mean it works for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Health is one of the best investments you can make. When you\u2019re sick, nothing else matters<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The healing power of a walk outside in the sunshine<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Everything is temporary. This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Your habits and mindset are a reflection of who you surround yourself with. My tribe inspires me every single day with motherhood, work, relationships, and life.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Live a life that\u2019s true to YOU that you love. Find pockets of joy in the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Be thankful for the past, hopeful for the future, yet grounded in the present.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being a part of my journey, friends.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=167480\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-167480 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-167480\" src=\"https:\/\/yorbestlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/birthday-2-699x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"699\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll be spending the day hanging out, and capping it off with some gluten-free funfetti cake tonight.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll see ya tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>xoxo<\/p>\n<p>Gina<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/the-big-4-0\/\">The big 4-0<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\">The Fitnessista<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi friends!
