Know Your Worth

 This is a topic that is worth exploring more. 

As always I will lend my own experience to this topic. I am no stranger to under valuing my worth. Recently, I had an opportunity come my way and I was so thrilled for the opportunity. I decided to jump right in and use my gifts and talents to make this project a success. I quickly realized that I was being undervalued for what I brought to the table. If I could go back in time, I would tell myself: "don't be so happy for an opportunity that you undervalue yourself." 

In this challenging world, it is imperative that I know my worth and don't just fall for anything. My gifts and talent have value and it is up to me to make sure that I am not being devalued. Everyone is looking out for their best interest and it is my responsibility to look out for my interest. I will take this as a lesson learned, and next time I will be more considerate and kind to myself. I am in tuned to my needs and what I want to attract in my life. I won't be so quick to jump into a opportunity again without making sure that the situation benefits me. The world is not fair, but knowing our worth will help us attract the right things to our lives. Wishing you good health and happiness. 

If You Keep Your Peace, You Will Keep Your Joy

 Peace is essential to being happy.

I can think back to a time that I was a angry person, I was mad at everyone and everything. I could not find peace in anything. I was not happy and I had no joy. I had so much hurt bottled up inside of me it made me angry. It felt like there was bomb living inside of me and at any moment it could go off. This was the old me. 

How did I get to this new place that I am in now? It's simple, I felt like the anger I had inside was going lead me down a destructive path. The anger that I had towards others who had caused me hurt was slowly destroying me. I wanted to be happy and the only way I could to that was to let go of the anger. It was easier said than done. It was years of working through my stuff, and taking accountability for myself. It all started with one courageous step to want better for myself. Change may not happen over night, but all it takes is one courageous step to make a positive change. 

My peace is my responsibility, I try to focus on positive things that will add peace to my life. I know all too well that a disruption in my peace can cause a disruption in the rest of my life. I am resolved to seek after positive behaviors that will add peace to me life. When I keep my peace, I keep my joy. Please feel free to share your journey in the comments section. Wishing good health and happiness. 

Wellness Check

We are approaching our second holiday season in the pandemic. It has been a trying time for all of us, we are all trying to adjust to our new normal. However, things are loosening up due to the availability of the vaccine. Many of us have gotten the chance to visit family members and go to public venues. This holiday is a little more bearable than last year. Although, we can't help but to tread lightly because covid-19 is still among us. At least now we can see each other in person, instead of having countless virtual phone calls.  Meeting in person and checking in on loved ones, has been the best part of the past several months. 

 I have gotten the chance to travel a little bit to have a change of scenery and to visit family members. Life is not totally back to normal, but it is the best it has been for a long time. I am happy for the small improvements and victories. I have also gotten over my fear of going to the doctor's office in the pandemic. I am caring for myself and my family by keeping up with our doctor appointments, remaining healthy is a priority. Everything is a journey, I am looking forward to the holidays to spending time with family. I plan on being safe while doing so. Even though I am vaccinated I will continue to wear my mask for safety.
