Throw away the idea that you need to pause your life until you are fully healed; this is a different way of being attached to perfection. Progress happens when you make better decisions in the midst of living. You can simultaneously heal your past while being open to the present.
Farmers aren’t getting minimum price, milk production isn’t profitable, coffee is heavily under paid for business owners, fishing boats aren’t getting enough fish, truck drivers shortage & transportation companies are in loss.
I told these previous few lines to my dad while laughing at a news bulletin. That news anchor was trying to show how we are almost there to hit Armageddon. My dad’s response to this was amazing. He said; “Who will give interviews to these news media networks if everyone starts doing well in life? And those who are doing well have no time for other’s bullshit. Once you have your shit together, you don’t care about such news.”
I totally agree with him on this one. Tunnel vision is a product of success.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. The title of this video is “HOW SAFE IS THE CHICKEN YOU ARE EATING?”. It’s frightening to see what damage poultry chicken can cause to our body. I had to edit today’s post to share this. Watch it & take enough precautions with your food. Stay safe.)
You deserve to be in spaces and relationships that make you happy; that feed your soul and help you grow. You are worthy of connections that are loving, nourishing and genuine. Before you settle for anything less than, remind yourself that the places you visit and people you journey with through life should make you feel safe, loved and enough. -Alex elle.
Mental health is so important. Prioritize your personal wellness. Take time to nurture yourself.
Don’t do things that you’re not happy with. Don’t rush your healing. Relax. Don’t judge where you’re at. Don’t judge where you think you should be. Just be kind and patient with yourself.
There will be times when we feel knocked down at every turn. Grief, depression, and so much more. It’s important to preserve a sense of humor. You have to remember to laugh at these things or they’ll control you. Laughter will help you see the light in the darkest of times. It’s more powerful than you’ll ever know. Even at your lowest points, keep your sense of humor and use it.
Man, when you lose your laugh, you lose your footing. – KEN KESEY.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. I haven’t said anything on this Ukraine-Russia war situation till now. Other countries must stay away from joining this war because there’s a huge risk of further escalation.)
You made that choice to improve for a reason. Don’t go backwards to habits and situations that weren’t helping you evolve. You have to keep reminding yourself why you even decided to move forward.
Stay positive about what’s to come by being consistent with your change.
Most of our lives move at such an accelerated pace we don’t always have the time to stop and reflect on how far we’ve come. We are usually too busy looking ahead. But it’s so important to keep checking in with yourself. We change all the time. It’s easy to get caught up feeling dissatisfied with where you are when you don’t take the time to appreciate how far you’ve come. You don’t have to be exactly where you want to be, but the fact that you are on your way is remarkable. Good things and progress take time.
Make today all about celebrating how far you’ve come in your life since last year. What is something you’ve changed in your life that you are proud of?
Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. -RICK WARREN.
There were times in life when I let myself get completely consumed with jealousy for someone else’s life, their body, their wardrobe, their talent. It’s a common emotion to experience. They call it the green eyed monster for a reason. It’s self-destructive and when it’s in the room, it consumes you. Be strong and don’t focus on what other people have.
Release any jealousy you have for someone else’s life and allow yourself to feel deep gratitude that you are living your own life. Don’t torment yourself with jealousy. It’s a silly illusion that someone’s life is better than yours when the truth is that each one of us is on a different unique beautiful path.
I’ve had to learn the hard way who my real friends are, but the best way for me to tell is if they want to lift me up or bring me down. I only want to be with people who support me and in turn make me feel stronger because of their love and belief in me and because of my love and belief in them. You can’t have a friendship that’s one sided, you have to get as much as you give.
It might be worth letting a toxic person in your life know how you feel. If they aren’t willing to change the way they treat you, consider not spending so much time with them. (Not my words.)
Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. -MARK TWAIN.
