There is a light, you just have to find it.

There really is a light within you. You just have to learn to grasp it, hold on to it, grow within it. People always say "There is a light at the end of the tunnel"and that is so true. There is a CHANCE and an opportunity. You will not be stuck in that tunnel of darkness forever, not if you gather up the courage to move and keep moving forward. I have had a lot of times where I myself have felt "stuck" in darkness. I have felt like I could never amount to anything because I was so good at failing. I felt like failure was my middle name, I cried so much about it. I did not know then, that I had to literally pay real close attention to my HABITS. What was I doing in my free time? Did I even give myself free time? What was free time? Why did I spend most of my time just complaining instead of actually taking steps to do something about it? Ya'll! I had no idea what the heck to do! I didn't know where to even start, I was just quitting alcohol at that time as well. (I have went through recovery twice from alcohol) why did I feel like alcohol was the thing to make me, and also help me to actually get things done? Why was I all of the sudden not capable doing the things that I was? I literally felt that way for even a whole year after I stopped alcohol. We really think that alcohol, drugs, whatever mind altering solution that we put in our bodies to apparently "help" us get through the day. Well, I have something to say, you will never, like ever, get to the end of that tunnel or see that light until you change your everyday HABITS. I started reading books more ( I love to read!) I started to exercise, I paid more attention to my children because you really do not realize how much you really do not spend as much time as you want because your under the influence, intoxicated, etc. Changing your habits is one of the biggest things to do. Even just adding one thing in your everyday routine. I drink water like a fish everyday, if I do not drink water I get major headaches. So, if you do not drink any water, add that to your daily routine. Changing habits changes your life, TRUST ME, I did it! Find your passion, find what makes you happy, find what makes you feel like your shining so bright.

We all need a time to slow down.

Have you had people tell you to "calm down" and you hear it as something completely different? I will raise my hand to that one. My parents used to say it to me a lot, my husband would tell me it as well. I would always say, "do not tell me to calm down because that just makes everything worse!" but in all reality...we really do, I mean there are times where we do get frustrated for good reasons but we do need to be able to SLOW DOWN , slow down our body, slow down our thoughts and just BREATHE . I am continuously practicing this every single day, I have to because I have kids and to be the best version of myself is to not be so frantic all the time, which took me a LONG time to really get that in my head.  I have things that I say to myself now when I start to feel the pressure in my chest, when I start trembling because a bomb is about to go off in my  head if I do not get this anxiety under control. I truly was very tired of feeling that way, then bursting out a...

You Choose, You Choose How To Live Each Day

When you begin your day, try to think of a positive thought you can tell yourself each and every morning. For example, "I am worthy", "I am strong", "I got this and nothing will tell me otherwise", etc. We all need some empowerment and confidence in us to get the day going on the right foot. I struggled with this, I would wake up and be like "NOPE!, I am not doing anything today." I would set myself up, I would set my MIND up in a negative way and not even think twice about it. I had no idea I was doing that to myself I would constantly find other reasons on why and how my day is going to be horrible disregarding the first thing I said to myself the moment I was at-least half awake. I tell myself that I am going to do my best today no matter what comes my way, this is positive and it uplifts me in the morning and the morning is not my friend, seriously! If your like me your the type of person who could probably sleep until noon if they wanted ...

Do you ever feel like things only get HARDER?

I have been through this feeling literally OVER a million times. I know the times where we just want to crawl in our bed, a corner of a room, in our closets, or even locking ourselves in the bathroom. I have been there...in ALL of those places. There are times where we just feel like we can not win at all in a day. Life is hard, it is so true and I will not argue with that. What needs to happen is how we are reacting to certain circumstances and situations life throws at us. I am a firm believer that things do happen for a reason, there is MEANING behind the thing we are having a battle with.We all have fear happen inside of us. But it's okay... it's okay to feel unsure at times, it's okay to not know what to do next, it's okay to really just FEEL and take some moments to ourselves, we truly need that in our lives. Sometimes, I have to take a moment and just let it all out and cry. If we cannot feel our feelings at times, then how do we know what we really are ...
