My Emotions Won't Control Me

 Dusting myself off and trying again. It is hard to experience any type of difficulty or hardship. I've had a rough couple of weeks going through some emotionally draining situations and now I am going through an physical illness. I know it's something that is temporary but still it affects the way I feel, the way I move and the way I view my world right now. 

There is a lot of emotion and I try to not let my emotions control me, I feel them, I recognize them and I push my way through until reach my healing and victory. 

Struggles Don't Last Always

 It might be hard for you to believe that your struggle will end one day. That struggle that you are going through may feel like it has no end in sight. It may feel like you will never get through what feels like the hardest thing that you have ever faced. It might be the hardest thing that you have ever came across, but trouble does not last always. I too am going through something at this very moment, that has been draining and difficult. It has been going on for about 3 years now, on the outside it looks like things are impossible. But, I know from past victories that this too shall pass. It won't get the best of me!

Life is not without struggles and when we get through one struggle another seems to follow. What are we to learn from this? We get through one difficulty only to face two more on the horizon. Life is not perfect and there is something to learn from every twists and turn. We are human beings and we get drained sometimes when we are going through difficult situations, that does not make us weak. The most important thing is to pick ourselves up and keep going. 

Struggles don't come to stay, we learn and grow from them. Although, it may look like it comes to break us, it won't if we don't let it. We are resilient and we can get through rough situations and thrive. Wishing you good health and happiness. 

I Pushed The Pause Button

 I took a few weeks off to relax and exhale from the very long school year. My family and I pushed the pause button and went on a vacation and enjoyed each others company. It was nice to have a break from the day to day hustle of life. I also took time off writing my blog, every Monday. I want to push the pause button more often to focus on self-care. I talk about self-care very often, because it has been a journey for me. First thing is first, self-care is at the utmost importance. 

I am so proud of myself, although I am not were I want to be, I am also not where I use to be. I am growing in the area of self-care and it is changing my life for the better. This summer I will also catch up on all my doctor's appointments, this last year has been tough with the pandemic. I had to push back my appointments because I wasn't sure if it was safe to move around. Now that everything is opening up I am going to make sure that I am healthy. Pushing the pause button also means taking the time to address health needs. Every little bit matters. May you too find a moment to push the pause button and focus on your needs. Wishing you good health and happiness!
