Kindness, Assumptions And Relationships

 You never know what someone is going through so just be kind. Sometimes, we all have this outlook that someone else's life is perfect. Then this cause us to be upset and unhappy about our own lives, because of comparing ourselves to them. The truth is that there is no such thing as perfection, we are all going through something. We should never assume, but of course that is a hard thing to do. Just like we should not judge others that are going through struggles, we should not judge others because based on the perception that they have a perfect life.

Some of us are going through a silent battle that we are keeping to ourselves, and we think that no one else understands. This notion that no one else is going through the same thing is a fallacy. Most of us are going through the motions afraid of being vulnerable, out of fear or shame. We are truly stronger together, we should always show kindness and never assume. When we have better communication with each other, our relationships will thrive. 

We are all imperfect people, trying to work through our hardships and navigate through life. We should show compassion and always be a place of safety for one another. May all our relationships thrive and be a place of safety for us. Wishing good health and happiness.

Are You Suffering From All Work And No Play?

 Work will always be work, it will always be endless things to do. Let me clarify, work has it's place and it is good to be productive, it's apart of learning, growing and sharpening our skills. However, sometimes all work and no play just creates stress and anxiety. It is good to take a breather once in a while, having a outlet and a way to unwind is important. What do you do to unwind or relax?

Personally, I have a few activities that helps me to relax. Just to name a few, I like to take a walk on a nice day, there is nothing like breathing in fresh air and feeling the wind blow through my hair. I feel so alive with the crisp clean air moving through my lungs. Music is also my friend, I can lose myself in the melody. Music inspire me, it makes me smile, it makes me dance and it helps me process my emotions. Music also makes me feel alive. What makes you feel alive?

Whatever, positive activity makes you feel alive do that. As I get older, I find that I seek after peace and wellness. I am learning the importance of achieving peace and calmness in my life. Work will always be work and it is never ending. I will be more effective with my work when I have calmness in my life. Taking the time to smell the roses is important to me and so I will continue to take the time to do so. Being motivated to take the time for my self is hard at times, I have to try and be intentional daily about taking the time. 

I hope that you too find the time to be intentional with yourself and take the time to smell the roses. 

You Are Worth The Effort!

 Just because a situation is bad today, does not mean that it is always going to be like that. Situations have a way of making us feel like there is no hope and things will never get better. I personally have survived many situations that I thought were impossible to get through. It's safe to say there will always be a situation that needs tending to, but that does not mean that it will last forever. Situations vary and some may last hours, days, months and even years. I have experienced all of the above, this does not make it any easier. However, because I have past evidence that I can get through the struggles, I have something to go on. 

I know that struggles are temporary, and so I know not to fly off the handle and make permanent decisions based on a temporary situation. As long as I am taking baby steps forward I know that everything will be alright. I am not saying that everything will be a breeze, but it is a step in the right direction. I have been going through a tough personal issue for three years now, so I know that it isn't easy to get through struggles. I don't know know when I will get through this struggle but I remain hopeful. I am trusting in the process and most importantly I am seeking help and I am applying the tools I have learned. I have a active role in the healing process. In my opinion, I think that I can get through any situation as long as I am taking a active role in the healing process. 

My faith is also a guide for me, that is where I get my strength from. Situations don't come to stay unless I want them to. I will always bet on me because I am worth it, I am worth the time and effort. I hope that you too will not give up on yourself no matter what you are going through. You are worth it!! I hope that you will never lose sight of that. Wishing good health and happiness!!

Handle Change Like A Boss

Change isn't easy!

Change is uncomfortable!

Change is messy!

Change is scary!

Change is unpredictable!

Change sounds very unappealing when you think of it like that, however change is life. Change is necessary to grow there is no way around it. Also, nothing stays the same because we live in a ever changing world. Everything around us is subject to change and we are also changing. Change maybe hard but change is not the enemy. 

The more we fight change is the more we find ourselves out of sync with who we are. When we are out of sync with who we are then confusion sets in. Confusion has a way of sending us into a tail spin. Once we are in a tail spin, then that opens the door to all sort of issues. Fear and anxiety is sure to follow. 

It's not easy to handle change for any of us myself included. The only thing that we can do is take a deep breath, get ourselves organized and find healthy tools that can help us along the way. Change sucks sometimes but it's going to be alright. With change comes new learning experiences and adventures, all of it is going to help us to grow and thrive. It maybe scary but change is not meant to hurt us, it's all about learning and growing. We are all on this every changing journey together, we can make it with perseverance.
