Give Me a Break Already!

It is very important to understand where you are in life. Self-awareness is what I like to call it, which is when you take a step back to reflect, review and realize what is going on in your life mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. At the end of the day, those four things are the most important aspects of your life. You might not think so, but when those four things are in order and you are generally happy with everything and everyone around you, there is nothing you can do and success will come. You must have patience, though, because it's not an overnight solution.

It is okay to take a small break from everything and everyone, but DO NOT get comfortable in it, or else you will get stuck there and not know how to get out of the rut you're in. Take a social media break, even if it's just for 30 minutes or a couple of hours, log out of your Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Just unplug from the world. You're not missing anything, put your phone on vibration.

You can even take a break from your friends. Just take a day to yourself— find a babysitter, send your husband or wife away for a couple hours and just focus on you to recharge your batteries. Reflect on all the good things going on in your life, review the bad things, learn from them and realize it could be worse. We must be grateful for the things we have and have accomplished, or else we won't understand the purpose of doing them.

Self-love and understanding are the most important parts of living. It's okay to not be "happy" all the time, it's okay to feel every emotion, but pushing the feeling away is the worst thing you can do. Dealing with those emotions and those problems head on, ONE AT A TIME, is the strongest thing you can do.

Sometimes it's okay to unplug from everyone, it's okay to say no to everyone, it's okay to feel what you're feeling; however, it's not okay to sit in those feeling or issues and let them eat you up inside without dealing with them. Self-love is one of the most beautiful things you can accomplish in life. Be grateful, be humble, be kind.

Please understand, not everyone is going to like what your doing, understand anything that your doing or approve, and THAT IS OKAY! This is not for them, this is for you. Make sure you are okay in every which way and, in time, they will support you because they will see a difference in the brighter and more charged you!

Some people might even say, "Oh, I liked the old you 😒." Of course they like the you that was miserable because that you let people walk all over you and you were unhappy. When they say that to you, that's when you tell them I DON'T CARE! I LOVE THE NEW HAPPIER, STRONGER ME, INSIDE AND OUT! People are haters and they forever will be—they don't have the strength or courage to do what you're doing because they are too worried about what people think.

Let peoples opinions roll off your back like a duck 🤗. The new you is awesome.

Reflect, review, realize... self-love is peace of mind.
