What will you sacrifice?

Image
 There's something we all want out of life, I mean I'm sure a huge amount of us do. We don't always think of what we'll lose or could lose chasing what we want. As I was siting writing in my journal it came to me that we will lose something trying to get what we want, sad but true. So now I'm asking you as well as myself what will you sacrifice to obtain your dream?  Some times it'll be friends, relationships and even sanity. I started questioning myself because I'm going absolutely nuts trying to become the best possible version of myself. I know I'm not the only one eating better, working out till I can't see, trying to be "zen" etc. It's draining me mentally and physically and I know I'm not the only one feeling this way. But when will you say no to driving yourself nuts for something that may not even be worth it in the end?   We continue to run on E, but now is the time to put somethings down and stop sacrificing the unnecessar...

What about your friends?!

Image
Back in 2015, I wrote about  Toxic Friendships  and how to get out of them! In our lives we will come across friendships that we know we don't need to be in but we continue to let these relationships fester and eventually break us down. Now is the time to fix things in our lives so we can be happy.   Everyone isn't here for your journey but they will  definitely  be there for the good outcome. It's up to you to decide who stays and who goes.  Time to re evaluate your space and how much of it you have. Don't get me wrong having people in your life to spend time with and just enjoy is something we all want but we have to make sure we have the right people there.   At certain times in life we may need to spend this time alone so we can get ourselves together.  But if you do have people in your life it's time to make sure they are there for the right reasons. Here are a few things to look for when determining who stays and who gotta go:...

Healing from heartbreak

Image
No one is perfect, nothing is perfect. Things we look forward to sometimes disappoint us, we put expectations on things. So now you're dealing with pain and don't know what to do? So many feelings and emotions running wild through you but you feel stuck. The relationship you had is in a hard place, and now your heart has been broken and now all you're thinking is what to do now?   Don't think you can't move on from this, you can! It may take some time BUT here are a few things you can start with: 1: Acknowledge the pain The first step to fixing any situation is to acknowledge the it, shine some light on it. You're human and I think sometimes we all forget that. We forget that pain and other trials and tribulations come along with life. So instead of bringing the issue to light so you can rebuild yourself we bury them. Which is NOT the smartest thing to do. You have to bring it to light so it can be addressed and worked on.  2:Reach out to the one w...

Not Losing Yourself In A Relationship!

Image
 Have you ever been in a relationship where you completely don't know who you are after a couple of months/years? It's OK, we all have been there and if not you'll get there (hopefully not lol). We get so wrapped up in the other person that you tend to lose yourself and your identity. Eventually when it catches up with you, you began to realize after all this time you don't know who you are. I'm currently dealing with myself. My husband is a military man as a spouse people really don't  know you for who you are. They know you as so and so wife, trust me I know how tedious this can be. I'm my own person and I wanted people to know that. I was In the military as well.  I'm a blogger and professional photographer and I want that to be known and not just "somebody's wife".   Now since you've come to the conclusion that this is you and you want yourself back, now is the time to project who you are! Began to work whatever it is you are trying...

GOALS!!!! (short post)

Image
 You're probably wondering why I'm so dead set on goals and following through with them. It's because I had goals and things happened, I got too comfortable and left my goals behind and I'm very disappointed in myself. So to keep others from making this very mistake I'm making it my business to keep pushing the word and hopefully help others not lose sight of what's important! I don't want to say it's never too late to follow your dreams (which is true) BUT why put things on the back burner when you have the opportunity at your reach. Staring you right in front of your face!   It's not going to be easy but it will be worth it! It's time to plan and execute, so start planning and get your butt up and move!

Emotional stability interview with W

· What are your thoughts on emotional health? L:When I think of emotional stability I think of happiness, peace, and love. I believe that emotional stability is very much a contributor to life. There are times where your emotions can cause you to fail or succeed. Emotional stability can determine the outcome of any situation, whether it be big or small. · Was it something you could openly speak about during your childhood?  L:Growing up my emotions were not acknowledged; I mean I was only a child so what feelings did I have? (being sarcastic) · When things begin to test your emotional stability, how do you deal with it? L: When my emotions are challenged, depending on the matter I may cry and possibly cut off the world. Music is always my go to when I am not in a good emotional state of mind. · Thoughts on seeking counsel? L:I think that counseling is always an option, often talking to a stranger may help more so than speaking to friends and family. I always look...

Emotional stability interview with C

· What are your thoughts on emotional health ? C: emotional stability means being at peace. Being able to control your emotions. · Was it something you could openly speak about during your childhood?  C: No, I wasn't quite sure of what emotional stability was, but I've there was something wrong. · What were you taught about emotional stability C: Nothing, it was self taught · When things begin to test your emotional stability, how do you deal with it? C: I usually react and think later. As I got older my reactions became more mild. For example as a child I would hurt myself (punch myself, bite myself). Now I might just cry or curse someone out if they bother me depending on how my mood is that day. · Thoughts on seeking counsel? C: I've seen a therapist and went to therapy. But didn't think it was effective. E we talked about my childhood a lot which took up a lot of time and I felt we weren't getting anywhere. I think about of that stuff is a beaux a...

Emotional Stability

Image
This day and age it's frowned upon if you aren't as strong as an ox. Like if you feel like you're breaking down you are judged to be weak. After all we all are human beings and at times we feel life is too much to handle. I know I've been there quite a few times but something grants me just enough sunshine to peak through that I feel maybe JUST MAYBE I can go on! I know it's all apart of life's journey to make us stronger and be able to endure when called to, but when you do step back and take care of you?    STOP letting society tell you how you're suppose to feel. Everyone has their own tolerance level, some people's are higher than others while others can't handle too much. When you reach a point where life and things you use to enjoy don't make you happy anymore, than you'll know it's time for a emotional stability check. You're no good is you aren't at your best. No one can get anything from you if you're not together. I...
