“Stop Forgetting About Yourself”

Have you ever been busy working, doing a task, going to school, volunteering,taking care of the family, trying to make ends meet and all the other things life demands and you forgot to take care of the most valuable person which is you? It is awesome that you can take care of your responsibilities and others but that doesn't mean that you should neglect yourself. Taking care and loving yourself comes with great benefits and it can be rewarding in the long run. The day that I began to reward myself and to work on me was the day I began living. We were not made just to go through the motions and merely exist, we were designed to have life and have it more abundantly. I dedicate this blog to the hard working individuals that need to show themselves more tender, love and care so they can continue to be the great individuals they are.

Writing is very therapeutic. Journaling has become a daily routine for me, when I write in my journal or planner creative ideas and strategies come to my mind. Writing is good for the mind and soul.

Reading has become another great hobby for me. Reading helps me to escape from a hectic work day and I get to learn new cool information. We can never get enough information. I consider myself a life time learner. I like reading blogs, articles, fashion magazines and books or anything that I can get inspired from.

Praying has helped me out tremendously, it has helped me with my mood and to look at things in a positive way. I often get up early in the mornings and find a quiet peaceful place to pray and release any frustrations or issues that I’m dealing with. After I finish praying I feel better, relieved and more relaxed.

Practice speaking positive things about yourself and others. Saying positive things to others will help you to leave a great impact on other's lives. I try to be the solution and not the problem. Often times I pay people compliments when I'm shopping, travelling or out and about whether I know them or not. I often look in the mirror and say positive things about myself as well. Saying positive self talk increases a healthy self esteem, and it helps to boost your confidence.

Find a do it yourself project that you've never tried before. The internet has tons of things that you can learn to do step by step. Become creative and step out of your comfort zone to learn a new skill. The new skill may take you to new levels in your life.

Take the thing that you enjoy doing the most to create a new source of income for you and your family. Why not make money from the things you like to do. Don't leave your talents on the table, capitalize off of your skills.

Incorporate speaking positive affirmations in your daily routine. The more you speak positive affirmations over yourself the more you will start to believe it.

From this day forward, don’t forget about you, whether you believe it or not you are important and valuable and it's time to walk into that.
