What’s Holding You Back?
I once had a friend who always questioned what if. What would people think. What would people say. What if I regret my next step.
I know he’s in the same place. Same mindset. Same state of confusion. Not at peace. Not happy. Feeling stuck.
For what? What was gained?
When do you say it’s my life. My decisions. My risks and changes.
No one could push him. Or you. Or me. Or anyone. We are in control of our life and peace.

Make that step towards your goals. Don’t let anything get in your way. Don’t allow yourself to get in your own way. No self doubt. No triggers. No insecurities.
That’s not allowed.
Thanksgiving Tips
Just kidding. It’s Thanksgiving in 2020. Please pour gravy on everything, including the pumpkin pie. We all deserve that!
Who or What Keeps You Calm?
Work has finally picked up. Homeschooling three kids has become easier. I notice I started to juggle everything with ease. Yeah took a while but better late than never.
At dinner I mentioned it to my boyfriend. I said not sure what has changed but I am extremely calm amongst the chaos. It’s weird more chaos has started but I am fine with it.
Me he said. It’s me.
I paused for a moment and smiled.
You’re right I said. It’s you.
He’s my outlet. My escape. My go to. My vent to. My laugh with. He calms me. He’s super calm. We hang at night for endless hours and it’s my time to decompress.
I have friendships like this too. Where we hang and I feel at ease and relaxed. I cherish those people.
We all need people in our life who do this. Calm us. Make us feel relaxed and rejuvenated.
Do you have these people in your life? If so be with them more. Escape the chaos. Surround yourself with peace and calmness.
Stop running from life and change who you are spending your time with.
What Are You Avoiding?
I did this before. Years ago. I kept busy so I didn’t have to think. Feel. Process. Face my reality. Stay numb. It wasn’t until I fixed what was making me unhappy that I was able to not stay busy and actually enjoy myself. My life. My current state. Face my truths and feelings. Enjoy the calmness.
Don’t do this. Don’t always stay busy because your reality sucks. Because it’s painful to face. Face it. Heal. Move on and forward.
We live in a society where everything is now accepted. There are no excuses to settle. Ever.
Are You Happy?
You aren’t stuck. Not at work or in a relationship. Never think you’re ever stuck but do ask yourself this:
Are you happy?
