Come on get happy!

One of the biggest benefits I have found that works wonders when it comes to self- care and relationships is prayer and meditation. I wouldn't be the person that I am today without it. It is such a great stress reliever and more importantly, it is a great way to deal with negative emotions.

Think about it. We all go through this life day to day taking on the tasks of other people. But do we ever think about ourselves? Does anyone ever ask what we need? That is why it is so important to meditate and pray. Even if you are not a prayer person feel free to just say some self-affirmations every day. I have two Pinterest pages, as shown below, on self-affirmations and they are so helpful, not only in times of trouble, but at any time of the day: https://www.pinterest.com/denisegibson26/mindfulness/, https://www.pinterest.com/denisegibson26/mornings/?eq=Mornings&etslf=7057

One of the greatest tools to increasing your productivity is positivity( and coffee, lol).

If you have a lunch break, do it then. Are the kids driving you insane? Walk away for a good minute and just recenter yourself. Remember who you are. Remember your purpose. Remember to breath. Nothing lasts forever; and trouble doesn't last always. You have the power to be the best you that you can be.

If you have to remove yourself from social media, like I did last week, that is okay too. No one and nothing has the power to control your happiness. Your happiness belongs to you. Your peace belongs to you.

Dogs Vs. Cats: The Pros and Cons

Image
We've all heard that men are dogs, and women are bitches (female dogs). Women have also been compared to cats. You all know cats. They are cold and mean and won't let you pet and cuddle with them like dogs. If they really hate you, they will scratch and bite you. But I am here to break the common stereotypes of men and women. Despite the cuteness and playfulness of dogs, they can also be mean and aggressive and they can have multiple sex partners. For cats, they can be sweet and cuddly, once they realize you are not a threat. I'm about to give you the pros and cons of cats and dogs when it comes to men and women, but first a story: Once upon a time, I had a boyfriend. This boyfriend was my very first real, intimate relationship. We would spend time together when we could and honestly we were the perfect combination of cat and dog. He would get excited whenever we made plans to see one another and would stare into my eyes with a smile on his face and he would give me ...

Breaking Up With Your Parents Vs. Walking Away

Image
So, I was in a very emotional state this past weekend. My brother was chosen to be the youth speaker for my church's Men's Day prayer breakfast. I was so excited to hear that he was chosen I made up in my mind that I definitely wanted to be there. A few days later that week, Saturday, we had all met up at the biggest theater in my hometown, Showplace 12, to see the final installment of the Jurassic Park series. Maybe it's not the final installment, but let's just assume for the time being that it is. After the movie was over, I drove back home to my apartment and went to bed. I was dead beat tired. I woke up the next morning two hours before nine 'o clock and went through my normal routine of making breakfast and turning on the news, etc, etc. Then, a little after nine' o clock I got a text from my mother: Are you going to see your brother speak?  I immediately jumped off of my sofa and ran to my room to get ready. Yes. What time is it at? I had completely ...

How To Own Summer Like A Pro

Image
Can you feel the heat yet? It's summer! And it is only going to get hotter from this point forward. July, in my opinion, always seems to be the hottest month out of the year. If you have not made any summer plans yet or you haven't made the most of your summer, I am about to teach you how to own it...like a pro. First of all, in order to own summer like a pro, you have to fill in the empty spaces of time with activities. Something that you enjoy doing. This could be binge-watching your favorite Netflix show or riding your bike around the neighborhood/park or getting your tan on in your own backyard. It doesn't matter. There are 24 hours in a day and at least 8-12 of those hours should be spent occupying your time with something or nothing. Consider picking up a hobby. This could be going to Target just to scape the place for some cool items, driving all over town with the windows down and your music all the way up, settling down with a good book. If you have a good...
