How do I get it and keep it?

Easier said than done; getting started is the hardest part.

Sometimes it requires you, giving up people, things, and commitments; that is, commitments that you should have never committed to in the first place.

First, you have to decide what it is that you want, need, and require for your life.

Is it more time with your kids, spouse, self; each deserves equal time.

How can you be the best for your spouse and kids; if, you are not good to yourself?

STOP being the Martyr, superwoman, all things to all people. It is only a time before you get run down and depressed.

I have a question for you; why do people who are not ready to make positive changes in their lives, such as wellness and health try to bring you down?

One reason is, because they are not ready. That is the key issue. They are not bad people. You know the saying misery loves company.

This does not give you the right to remain the same.

Stop! And Run your RACE: (Ready, Able, Committed, Energized)

No rushing.

Take your time.

Plan Better.

Do what is best for you and your family.

Never allow others to influence or persuade you to do what is right for them; YOU ARE NOT THEM!

Some people will be negative and unsupportive about your life choices; typically, because they were not strong enough, wise enough, or ready to make the right choice for themselves. Do not allow them to project those negative emotions and or behaviors onto you.

Think before you speak; say what you mean, but with empathy and compassion. Always remember, other people's life experiences.

Time

We all need more of it; or, so we think.

What are you doing with yours?

Believe it or not, planning is the key I have found.

We seem to get caught up in what others are doing a bit too much.

Run your race and stay in your lane; and, you will see a difference in you quality of life.

I have also found that if you want peace and tranquility; that you will have to say NO more times than not.

Do not over commit yourself and your family members.

Allow children to participate in only one extra activity; too many activities can cause too much of a strain on the whole family.

Too many activities in one family can cause a lack of communication, connection and closeness; not to mention it will cause those necessary things such as homework, proper dinner and overall wellness of your family to suffer.

The rise of black women's health is really on the line these days. Stop trying to be super women and take care of you.

Take some time out

Opinions

We all have them.

We all want others to side with our opinions.

Guess what? Not going to happen.

First of all, opinions are just that; opinions. They are not the deciding factor in relationships.

We all come from different walks of life, with different experiences and feelings about those encounters. So to persuade another to believe, feel, think, and do things the way that you want them to, is not right, good or fair.

Instead, try to understand where the other person is coming from; and where they are trying to go and get to.

The other person is not you.

That being said, this does not mean that relationships should change; maybe it could bring closeness and a soft place to fall for each of you.

 

Support, don't judge each other.

Friendship

Never underestimate it Cherish it Nurture it Embrace it Enjoy it Friendships

Network

With this weeks events taking place; the $700 Billion Bailout, merging banks and the highest unemployment rate, I find that this is the time to get our duck in a row and get a little more connected. In my experience with friends; I know my friends do not want anyone to know about their challenges, issues, problems,etc. This makes it difficult to HELP! each other. True friends will not judge, but support; we have all been in difficult situations and need assistance from time to time, there should never be anyone of us struggling to the point that our spirits are suffering. This makes it hard on our loved ones to witness. So... stay intouch and connected. Participate in your life more; get involved. Join a book club, join a ministry in a church, a social club, meet for a meal with friends, whatever it takes. Live! Live! Live! Trina:)
