Ginny and Georgia (2021)

It is the end of a pretty relaxing weekend. I was able to catch up with friends, ate really good food and binged on Ginny and Georgia. 

The relationship between Ginny and Georgia really reminded me of my relationship with my mom. Seeing how Georgia struggled in making any decision that she thought was protecting her kids, I wonder if my mom also was in that spot before. On the other hand, the fact that Ginny is always blaming her problems on her mom make me realize that oh, I did that quite a lot too. (my bad...)

Whenever something doesn’t go as planned, I’d blame everyone instead of taking a long hard look at myself to see if I had any responsibility in it. I should be responsible for my own action.

Today in the 7 good mins podcast, the guy said look in the mirror. What you are seeing is a reflection of your choices. It’s true. If I ate unwell and do not work out, the double chin and belly comes out. If I spent all my time thinking about problems in the past and the future, I will miss the present. Miss what it looks like today. And continue to blame my today on the past and future. 

Blame. Oh, isn’t it always just so much easier to say I’m not wrong, I’m just a victim? Yeah. One thing that struck to me in this show is just how strong Georgia managed order to keep her kids well lived, while still trying to live her best life. Yes, some of her decisions to hurt others were definitely wrong, but she never let her situation dictate her life nor play victim. She didn’t continue to let her stepdad rape her, let others take her children away or just stay broke and blame the society for her problems. She took care of her children, took care herself and continue to grow as a person everyday. Not looking back and staying in the past. She is forward, always looking ahead. 

Also, she took care of her body. She looks good because she works at it. I mean ok Tina, you know how much you care about what you look like. It is just something you care a lot about. (Libra traits am I right?) You also care a lot about food. So finding that right balance between enjoying yourself and also taking care of your body is important. 

This weekend was enjoyable. But not many great health choices were made. Next week I will be better. I will eat better and work out more.
