Do your GRATITUDE!

-
I have been doing my Gratitude journal for a month now. I kept hearing about the "Gratitude Journal" also the "Start Today Brand" Journal, which I would totally want one, but my budget right now has to have other things right now to cover, but it is definitely one of the things I would love to have, so I created a "wish list" of the things I would eventually love to put away money for, then I just work my way around the list.

I list out 5 things that I am so grateful about that happened during that day. It's small things, small blessings you start seeing everyday despite all the bad that did or has gone on about that day, but you choose to look at the positive side of the times, yeah things can still tick you off but, not like it normally would, that is how I am, I have generalized anxiety so I get really aggravated and antsy SO fast. since I have started writing things down that made me happy that day and also that night, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY, it really created a habit in my brain to LOOK for those moments.

You can get a journal anywhere, I got mine from 5 Below. There is this one that I am listing here through Amazon that I would really LOVE to have as well that I have been looking at. So I would like this one and the Start Today Journal that I will also post a link to as well! if you would want any of those to start YOUR GRATITUDE! It is so important to do this, I already am seeing the benefit from it and if you struggle with anxiety and depression it would be a great thing, in my opinion, to start this!

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 ...
