Stop self-sabotaging!!!!

 Are you the reason you can't get ahead in your life? Or you stumbled once and decided that since you didn't succeed that ONE time you won't even try again? Well I am here to say STOP IT NOW!!!! 90% of the  time we hold ourselves back because we're scared or failed and don't want to be let down again. That's life though, we won't always succeed at everything we try. It's all apart of the journey. That's how you find out what you really should be doing with your life......YOUR PURPOSE!

     I've been there, I've actually just got out of this self-sabotaging slump. My life has never been easy it's taught me to appreciate everything, I mean every time I would decide to do something it seem as though life let me begin but cut me short. Take college for example, I went 3 times and finished twice. The first time I went to college was a year after I graduated high school. I really didn't have it like your normal student, I had a job in high school and after graduation I had to maintain that job so I could help with things and also take care of myself. I ended up becoming pregnant and being out on bed rest. So school was stopped completely.  Joined the military and went back to college and graduated! I was so happy but during that time so many things popped up that wanted to make me quit but I didn't, I couldn't do that to my daughter or myself for that matter. After becoming a wife and mom of 3 children; one being a newborn, I decided to go back to become a professional photographer. That wasn't easy because having kids who need you and a husband the thought of quitting came up again but once again I told myself this was a passion and I'm not giving it up! I stand well, type here today as a trained medical professional and a professional photographer with my own business. Don't get me wrong this new adventure as business owner is scary. I hear that 50% of businesses don't succeed and when I heard that first thought came to me was "omg I'm just going to get a job and take photos for fun." Then I thought about it, I can't do that to myself and my family! This is what makes me happy, I'm tired of doing things just to get by in life, it's time for me to do what makes me happy! I wanna have a career that enjoy getting up for!

     Long story short, stop telling yourself what you're not going to do, what you can't do or what you're afraid of! Like comedian Steve Harvey said " You have to take that jump!" That's just it, you have to just give it a try and see what happens!
YOU GOT THIS!!!!

The children

Image
 Whether we want to believe it or not the children in our lives play a very special and important role! Although we feed, clothe and take care of them (which is our job) they add so much value and purpose to life that we should treat them as such. It's really easy to get tied up and busy with all that life throws at you but again these kids of our didn't as to be here so it shouldn't reflect as such. I said this to say do you value the littles you have in your life? Do they know how important they are to you? Do make them feel that they are special? With so much hate going on in this world it's up to us to show our children they mean the world to us. Now I'm not saying they are perfect little angels lol but I am saying the way they turn out as an adult begins with the molding and shaping we do as parents and guardians. As parents we know life can overwhelm us so bad and we just break down and hide in a dark corner. But reality of it all is we can't do that to th...

Don't be so hard on yourself

Image
             Pause for just a second, how have you been treating yourself? Have you been taking some time out and at least giving yourself some time to breath? or have you been so busy because you feel if you're not being productive your wasting time? Honey let me tell you, I'm the type of person if I'm not doing something productive I feel like I'm just wasting my life away. Listen mom, we have so many jobs and the pay isn't great at all. We get no sick days and no PTO! We work 24-7 and vacations are rare, so when I say it's OK not to be so hard on yourself I mean it. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have three children: 9,2, and 1. So my hands are pretty full especially this summer.  A normal errand free day in my household consists of Waking up, making breakfast, clean something in the house, give everyone a snack, clean something else, eat lunch, TRY TO MAKE THEM NAP AT THE SAME TIME, fix or clean something e...

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...
