𝗠𝗲, 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 & 𝗜......

We all know that we should look after ourselves. We all know that on paper maintaining a healthy balanced diet, exercising once a day and sleeping 7-8 hours is the key to total body fulfillment.

𝗢𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁?

We haven't taken into account, children, jobs, struggles, family losses and daily LIFE.

Knowing all that you should do to take care of yourself isn't the same as being able to do it, and it can skew your perspective. Making it hard to see what you actually are doing that's healthy.

Take time out from your busy schedule and carry out some important self care. Reflect on your current situation, acknowledge your feelings and emotions, evaluate your progress and goals and focus on what will move you forward in life.

Self care isn't selfish, it's the key to become the best version of you!

𝗩𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿

Do you know which category you are currently in? (not sure, read below).

𝗩𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is what you strive to do in your life. It's work you feel you are suited to doing and for which you are prepared to give ALL your time and energy, the career you want to be in.

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿, on the other hand, is a series of jobs, even changes of profession, in the lifetime of an individual. A career is certainly not a job. In fact, it is a series of jobs that a person may have done or intends to do in the future.

So make to the original question:
- which are you in?
&
- which one do you want to be in?

Almost without exception, this is what life does: it takes our plans and dashes them to pieces. Sometimes only once, sometimes many times.

The harsh reality is that whether what you're going through is your fault or your problem doesn't matter, because it's yours to deal with right now.

Whether you choose to ignore it or deal with it, that is down to you.

During this time of uncertainty it's important to recognise true relationships we all have and let them know.
Recognise the friends that show up, the ones who are dependable, the ones that notice the small things, who applaud your success and who wish you all the good in life.

You are awesome to someone and they need you just as much.

'Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it' - Charles R Swindoll

It can be so easy to overthink and let your thoughts get a hold of you and tear you down. It sounds silly but just remember, your thoughts, are simply just thoughts.

The only control they have over them is the power you give them. YOU are in control of your thoughts, they are NOT in control of you.

So next time you feel yourself starting to overthink, just take a second to check yourself and realise that you are in control and you can change those negative thought cycles.

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀

Are you carrying negative emotions that you may be projecting onto the people closest to you?

The way I view carrying emotions is like picking up rocks. When you feel angry about something you pick up a rock. That rock then can weigh you down throughout your day, week, month or even for years.

It’s so important to deal with your emotions and put those rocks back down because if you don’t deal with your emotions and you just hold onto them then guess what happens…

You end up throwing those rocks that you are carrying at people and projecting your negative emotions onto other people. This can lead to you saying things you don’t mean or just simply lashing out for no reason.

So make sure you deal with your emotions in a positive way to prevent hurting the people closest to you.

𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲?

Complaining about something or a situation won't change anything.

You have to change something yourself -
- your habits
- your routines
- your job
- your finances
- your relationships

The best part is you're in control of your life and you can make the changes!

Let's start 2022 with the right intentions..........Make a pact with yourself that you will make the changes you want in your life and you will stick to them.

Race, gender, s*xuality, religion, beliefs, opinions, treat everyone as a human being and treat them with respect!

Regardless of our beliefs we can still find it within ourselves to respect and treat others as we wish to be treated.

If you can't find it, then expect to be treated like sh*t also.

𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀

Loneliness is going around, and it’s having a pretty big impact.

This time of year can be extremely lonely and not just for those who are on their own.

Sometimes being around friends and family can still create a feeling of loneliness. Often being in the presence of, or seeing others happy can leave you with a sense of 'somethings missing in your life'.

So how can we avoid these feelings coming to fruition:

1. 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲/𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 - Sound helps fill the space in your environment and thoughts, making it less overwhelming.

2. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 - Sometimes a quick text can seem like the easiest way to connect, but don’t underestimate the power of hearing a loved one’s voice. Even a 10-minute call can help ease loneliness — for you and them.

3. 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 - While social media often seems like an appealing way to maintain connections with loved ones, it can sometimes increase feelings of loneliness. Seeing others posts and stories can make it feel worse so don't get suckered into an endless scroll through Facebook or Instagram.

4. 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 - Emotions tend to gather under the surface and intensify when they go unacknowledged. Expressing your feelings, however, you feel best suits you (journal, diary, talk to friends or family).

5. 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 - However overwhelming it feels, loneliness won’t last forever. Acknowledging that fact can sometimes bring some relief.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.
When waves of loneliness crash over your head, there’s a lot you can do to ride them out and the list above isn't extensive by any means.

However if loneliness doesn’t seem to improve and you feel low more often than not, seeking professional advice is advised as it can help greatly.
