what keeps me going
Every day I wake up and thank GOD that I made it through another night, and like most people, I get to the point where I feel like giving up. Life gets rough for everyone, and sometimes it is difficult when you have no motivation or someone to come home to that can help you relieve that stress it's hard to find motivation. When I am having a rough time, and I am at the point where I feel like I can't go on anymore, I read a book sometimes we overuse our mind, and we forget how important our intention is to us. Whenever I have too much on my mind and feel exhausted and cannot continue, I like reading children's books. I live alone, and I work in the healthcare industry, and stress and mental health are at its peak with all of us putting in overtime and working with positive Covid-19 patients; its little had not to get stress out. I love reading children's books because they take me back to when I was young and carefree. They calm me down and put my mind at ease. I love picturing myself at the moment in the book section and most of the time when I finish reading the book. I am all calmed down and ready to get back into work. While I am reading the book, and I take time to reflect on what is going on and how me doing what I am doing brings joy into someone else life. The joy I see on family welcoming their family member back walks out after beating COVID makes all of my stress go away. It gives me a sense of comfort, and I thank God every day that he chose me for this role, and I wouldn't want it any other way. The reason I wish to read children is book it's because I am visual learner, I understand better when I can see what I am reading. When I read children are books whenever I flip a book, I get more and more excited, and the more excited I get, the more relaxed I forget how stressed I am.
