Welcome to The RAW Lifestyle Blog!
I was inspired to create this lifestyle blog based off my own personal beliefs of how I choose to live my life. As I pondered ideas for this page, I considered traits of my own that I strive to work into my daily routine. A few words that specifically stood out to me were real, authentic and whole. These three words have different meanings, but all lead back to one common theme – being genuine.
Why did I choose the word RAW as a blog name? I’m completely aware it is not the most attractive word. However, it captures exactly what I am trying to present to the community. I want to share real, authentic and whole advice, experiences and wisdom to anyone willing to listen. Although RAW is blatant, I think it’s a beautiful word. It’s natural and genuine, versus processed and unpurified. That’s the purpose of this blog – to be natural and genuine.
Some may be wondering what inspired using the words real, authentic and whole. As I stated earlier, all three words lead back to the common theme of being genuine. However, my inspiration drew from the values each word represents.
What is RAW?
These are the three core values of RAW:
1. Real – not imitation or artificial, genuine
2. Authentic – based on facts, accurate or reliable
3. Whole – a thing that is complete in itself
As I began to implement these values into my lifestyle, I noticed a dramatic change in my attitude towards friends, family, coworkers, teachers – you name it! I shifted my mindset off me and began to shift the focus onto others by being real, authentic and whole. Once I recognized my disingenuous behaviors, I knew that I needed a lifestyle change and a serious attitude adjustment. I stopped imitating this fake persona of who I was trying to be and started focusing on who I really am. I steadily became more reliable with tasks and work. This mindset switch made me feel complete and content (or as I like to say, whole).
Before I continue, I would like to avoid this misconception – I am by no means perfect. I do not have it all together. Incorporating RAW into my lifestyle required reevaluating my behaviors and overall outlook on life. It was long journey of rediscovering myself and my desires in life. It required a change that some may think is small, but has a great impact on their lives.
What could you gain?
Now let me ask you these questions – what’s your general outlook on life? Are you happy? Are you content with your friends? Are you in a healthy relationship? These are some personal questions I want you to answer and really think about. If you are less than satisfied with your answers, then you got work to do.
You deserve to lead a real, authentic and whole life. You deserve to be your happiest. You deserve to have wonderful relationships with genuine people. You deserve to feel complete. You deserve the RAWest life there is.
As you finish reading this, I want you to want this:
· I want you to feel real.
· I want you to feel authentic.
· I want you to feel whole.
If you want this, or if you want to improve this, you’ve come to the right place.
