Creating the best You!

It's time to create the best version of YOU!

As a mom I found that I lost myself being a mom, wife, friend and a daughter. I lost sight of what I loved and what was most important to me. I wasn't until recently, that I felt so bored and unhappy with the smallest things. Lashing out and just annoyed with everything and mostly everyone.

I found my self trying to escape that feeling every chance I got. My escape has and always will be traveling. The problem is that I was doing it to get away...masking and hiding what I felt. Basically looking for constant distraction, and it was all fun and I loved it until I had to return home. Then that uneasy miserable & unsettling feeling began to return, as soon as I even though about returning back home.

I had to literally take the time and space to sit in those feelings and figure out why I was feeling the way I was feeling...which has definitely not been easy!

When it hit me, it HIT me...I have always given my all to everyone...and refused to give it to myself. I have always been a person who loves to see those that I love happy, prosperous and living their dreams...but what about me!? Growing up I was taught to always put everyone's needs and wants before my own, and that is not ok and its one of the most unhealthy traits I have, because it's all good until you find yourself drowning and no one around to save you but yourself.

So as we jump into this new year make sure you do what is best for you. Your mental, emotional and spiritual health should be priority for you, rediscover yourself and learn what you love and makes you happy. Take the time to heal and become the best and healthiest version of you. Try those new things, book that trip you have been waiting to take. Find your purpose in life and walk in it, everything will fall into place. YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING

Remember that people show you who they really are so you can move accordingly. Allow no one and I mean no one to drain you any longer, no one should be sucking the life out of you. Those around you should be speaking life into you, you should be constantly filling each others cups. Stop making others happy while you are miserable, and DO NOT allow guilt or fear of losing anyone take over you and stop you from doing what is best for you.

In 2023 lets work on...

1. Setting those healthy boundaries & limits.

2. Having your own agenda, and stick to it.

3. Don't feel obligated to stay, or say yes.

4. Stop making excuses and make it happen.

5. Take breaks as needed, and set undistracted intentional time for yourself.
