What will you sacrifice?

 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? Image result for drained We continue to run on E, but now is the time to put somethings down and stop sacrificing the unnecessary. Don't sacrifice the more meaningful aspects of life; family, love, deep real relationships. You can't get those things back, some people will have what they want but lose what really matters in life. We may THINK they're happy but in reality these people go home every night cry or drink themselves to sleep. Ultimately making them insane and not really appreciating what they have.
    Now is the time to put the worthless things to the side and fight for what is right. Find the balance in your life, it won't be easy but it WILL be worth it. They say life is so short and I get it, we spend so much time going to places we hate (job), doing things we hate just to leave this world not really happy. Time to start searching for balance and peace in life! Image result for zen Making lists has always been important to me and in doing so I've been trying to figure out ways to relieve my stress and it's not an easy journey because what you thought helped may not help after all. But as I always say it's apart of life's journey. Just enjoy it while you can and if you need help get it!! Your life is just that YOUR LIFE! Live it and live it well you only get one chance to do so.

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...
