I just want to start off by saying I really enjoyed my vacation at the beach in Destin, Florida. It was much needed, sleeping with the patio door open listening to the sound of the ocean was priceless.
As I stated in a previous blog, the healing effects of water is beneficial to our minds, body, and soul. It improves our mood which increases happiness and our well-being. Also, it calms the nervous system, reducing stress, and anxiety in the body. So when I say I feel GREAT, I mean I feel GREAT! In the past I’ve worked myself so hard to the point I would quit/give up. As I’m growing wiser I see the benefits of resting, not to quit.
You know, I don’t think we realize how much we push ourselves on the daily basis. Every day we have to get up and join the rat race. Got to do this, got to do that, got to go here, got to go there, and so on… never ending. Well at least it seems like it, right? This is why we quit a million times from the mental strain. When we quit mentally our bodies soon follow suit. A gallon of coffee can not help when it’s your mind that is exhausted of all its psychological resource; instead attempt to simply rest. What good are you to anyone if you’re not good to yourself? If you moved to another country away from everyone and everything you’ve known, people would be alright. As the older generation would say “he/she will figure it out”. Not saying you shouldn’t help, because at some point in our lives we all have needed and will need a helping hand. What I am saying is, not to run yourself down to uplift others, everything is about balance. ((((BALANCE))) If your going to run yourself down all day everyday, at least take time to replenish yourself.
As I’ve grown wiser I have come to realize that at certain times less is better. We have been programed to want the latest trend, somehow we have tied material things to our self-worth. We are worth so much more than material things, we are infinite energy. Sadly, we have limited ourselves to the system. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look nice, im just saying we shouldn’t be slave to the so called system. When you are truly working on your God given purpose (like I am attempting right now lol) you really don’t have time to show boat. When you shine from the inside, the light in you will speak for its self. Most of us have gifts just sitting on them, worried about what other people think or what they going to say. Nothing someone says can trump what God spoke into your life. We all know what we should be doing but somewhere along the lines we get stuck we forget about ourselves and how special we are. Somewhere along the lines we stop holding our heads up high. It’s time to hold your heads up Kings and Queens. Today, you have a chance to live your best life!
