OverWhelmed

Ha. I'm not sure what my deal is the last couple of days but I've become very overwhelmed with life... i'm not even sure how or why...

I just feel as if my mind is full of things that need to be released but i'm not sure how to release them... My allergies are DEFINATELY not helping anything.. they have just been miserable all spring summer and now into fall... ugh..

i think you should give me some words of encouragment or a fun quote to help me lift my mood! :) please and thank you!

Loving Yourself

"LOVING YOURSELF IS THE GREATEST WORK YOU WILL DO IN THIS LIFE."

"IN EVERY SITUATION THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY EITHER TO ACT IN YOUR OWN BEHALF OR TO BETRAY YOURSELF. IT'S YOUR CHOICE."

"YOUR POOR SELF-CONCEPT MAY BE DEMONSTRATED THROUGH SUCH SELF-DISHONORING BEHAVIORS AS OVEREATING, ADDICTIONS, EXCESSIVE TELEVISION WATCHING, OR OBSESSIVE INTERNET SURFING."


Wow I never realized until now how much I put myself down... it's really sad. Committing to loving yourself is a very difficult concept but can be very rewarding i'm discovering... i always wondered what people were talking about when they say you have to love yourself to be able to love others... or do unto others as you would do to yourself... well, if that was the case everyone would be in deep trouble because i'm not very nice to myself.

Thinking on all the thoughts i have during the day towards myself can be self distructing, such as when you wake up and look at yourself in the mirror and say yuck i don't like that outfit or i look gross in that, then you get to work and you check your email and you have none( you tell yourself i'm not good enough for someone to have emailed me), there are a million things that we come across during the day that we put ourselves down over. All these negative things that we tell ourself usually come from something that has happened in our past that had a negative effect on us and we are reminded by the when certain things come up during the day. It's up to us to figure out what causes those negative attitudes we keep telling ourselves so we can start enjoying ourselves and tell ourselves that we are worth whatever it is we want to be worth.


"THE CHOICES WE MAKE IN EVERY SITUATION ARE A DIRECT REFLECTION OF WHO WE ARE!"

"THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE WAY TO ARRIVE AT AUTHENTIC SELF-LOVE, AND THAT IS TO REALIZE THAT YOU CAN NEVER BE FULLY SATISFIED ON A PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVEL."

"Love yourself in every direction. Love your amazing beautiful body. Love your wonderful intricate mind. Love your heart and all its exquiste emotions. Love your infinite eternal spirit." - AMen to that!!!

It's kind of awesome how the little things we do for ourselves can make us so much more happy and can also lift a huge weight off our own shoulders.. just knowing that you stood up for yourself, whatever the situation was. :]

SO go out and learn to love yourself and to treat yourself with respect!! :D

Vitamin C- Smile :D

"Smile"


Alright...
Alright...

First of all

When you wake up in the evening and the day is shot
Find yourself complaining 'bout the thing you ain't got
Never crossed just the way that you wanted it to
Cliche of the day, cest la vie that's just

[Chorus:]
Life, it ain't easy
It's so tough
It ain't easy
(Whatchu wanna do, say whatchu gonna do)
Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place
Put a smile on your face
(Whatchu wanna do, say whatchu gonna do)
Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place
Put a smile on your face
(Whatchu wanna do, say whatchu gonna do)

And another thing

You can say that I'm a dreamer and you think it's uncool
Preaching 'bout the better life I learned in school
But you get what you give in this life that we live
And all that you do come back to you

[Repeat Chorus]

Yo,
When things isn't right there's no need to fight
Come on be nice
No need to fight
Stay polite even when you're hurting don't forget to smile
Give love to our nation, big or small
When you do good you'll get your reward
United with stand, divided we fall
Put a smile on your face and greet one and all

[Repeat Chorus]

People love you when you smile
And hate you when it's through
Lots of happiness
We are wishing you
If you come from Jamaica or Honolulu, yeah
Keep a smile on your face
I'll see the good that you do

Smile (smile)
And everything will be fine..




So this song is VERY old and I was working away this morning and it came on my Ipod and i GOT So excited! :) it made me smile so big.. lol.. just wanted to share with everyone, maybe someone else will get a good smile on for today! :)

Journey to Self Discovery

I've been on this self seeking mode the last two or three weeks.. i've been reading a lot of self help books and just trying to figure out how my brain processes things and how to take information in differently then i have in the past... ( yes that may sound a bit odd...cause it is..)

I have issues with living in the past and future instead of in the PRESENT. I'm learning to just take one day at a time and to just enjoy the moment, yes you have to prepare for the future and look at the past to help you grow stronger but you can't live your life looking ahead or looking back, you just gotta go with what you have RIGHT HERE and NOW.

YOu know, every person goes through SO much in their life and we all have times where we fall down and need someone to help us up and get back on the right path and lately i've been just struggling so much with the things that are going on in my life.. it seems like one thing after another keeps dragging me down but somehow i still seem to find a way to find joy through the days.. (ONE DAY AT A TIME.)


Sorry to be a little depressing in this blog... I feel like its better to share with others when your going through hell so maybe they will learn something from you.
Also if anyone has any thoughts or comments about yoga or meditating i would love to hear your opinions, i'm wanting to take a yoga class but just curious what others' experiences where with it.. if you have had any. :) Thanks!
