Cara Maat
Maat decided to get healthier for her loved ones — and to become the best version of herself. “My motivation was my selfishness,” said Maat. “When I looked around me I realized that the amount of time I focused on myself, my negative thoughts, and feeling bad about myself and my circumstances, the people who suffered the most were my loved ones.”
“I not only saw how my negativity was affecting them, but I also realized how much quality time I was missing out on with them because I was too focused on myself. So, I used my awareness of my selfishness to motivate me to get healthier — to actually think about myself because I want to show my loved ones I care about them, more than my problems or perspective.” She found a counselor to see on regular basis to achieve her goals and now she realizes that she did the best thing to take time to care of herself.
