Motivation: Self Care
Oprah has mentioned many times before that she writes in her Gratitude journal daily, many people do and ever since I can remember, I’ve always had diaries, journals, you name it. It’s such a free therapeutic high of some sort to write out your thoughts and feelings. All of your emotions flow onto the pen and then the paper…I love writing. It’s refreshing when you can reflect more clearly and view things for what it’s worth by looking back on your past and your “now showing” present.
I thrive off great energy, positivity, much love and plenty laughter. Enter happiness. What I’ve learned…and it’s a must, to have more love for yourself so you’re able to give some to others. You can’t give something you don’t have when you’re totally empty inside. Life happens and everything in it can weigh you down so it’s crucial to make sure you take care of you as well.

At times we go so hard for others and forget about ourselves
in the process.
Many may depend on you, especially if you’re the number one
top person who sets the tone/pace for all things per your family. Plenty of prayer,
meditation, music, healthy eating, daily nutrients and exercise is a great
start. Oh and can’t forget the much needed laughter via great friends and family.
Also, throw in a resort or a spa day to round things out.
It’s ok to take a step or two back, slow down
and pause. View all aspects of your life and the people in it. You might
realize certain things need to be rearranged or even cut out completely. In the
end make sure you are truly honest with yourself because after all, it starts
with you. Rome wasn’t built in a day so making baby steps in the right
direction will get things going. Just a spark of motivation is needed to push
forward and we all can benefit from that. Find your peace and inspiration then
grow, believe me things will come into focus real quick, lol. Wishing you all a
prosperous life. Until next time! –xoxo
