Remain Gentle and Kind! (even in tough situations)

Different situations can push your buttons and make you explode, especially if you let it. The key is to remain gentle and kind even in tough situations! I know, I know, easier said than done. There’s been plenty of times I wanted to go off on someone who wronged me and sometimes I did. As I got older I realized that every situation doesn’t deserve a negative reaction especially if it’s going to be irrelevant the next day. Whatever the situation may be, take a minute to observe it before you make a judgement. Thinking about the situation before reacting can save you from so much like stress and arguments. Who have time to be angry because someone hurt your feelings or you was rejected? Take those shortcomings and turn it into lessons!

Need help on staying sane when things get rough? Try out these tips!

1. If you’re dealing with rejection, think of it as maybe that person or job wasn’t interested but there’s plenty more out there who would be so thankful to have your skills, or just you as a person.

2. Think positive in negative situations.

3. If someone makes you angry, practice a breathing technique.

We will never have it all together. Times will come that we burst out into flames when we’re stressed out or angry, but taking that experience and turning it into a positive one for the next time is the goal!

Self-Care Sunday

Every Sunday we like to provide tips on how one can incorporate an act of self-care in their life. We believe that practicing self-care daily brings a fulfilling life and keeps you healthy. As women, it’s important that we are on the right track physically and also mentally.

1. Unplug from all technology!

At least for an hour! Constantly checking emails, social media, and text messages can become so overwhelming and cause you to feel so cluttered and stressed. Taking a break from technology will help you re-install and even tap into what’s happening around you presently.

 

2. Enjoy nature!

Nature is a healer. Just going out looking at plants and listening to the birds chirp can instantly make you feel better. Take advantage of nature as a part of you self-care journey!

 

3. Try a soothing tea

There are plenty of teas to try for multiple purposes. From a calming  tea to an energy boosting one. Try them out and get a taste of which one may be best for you.

 

 

4. Journal

Instead of bottling all of your problems in, take them to a journal and write out everything that’s been bothering you. This helps especially if you don’t like talking to others!

Learn To Love Yourself Girl!

How many times do we have to put ourselves down to realize that we’re worth so much more than we think? It’s getting old! The ridiculing yourself, not doing things to the best of your ability just to make others comfortable, and constantly self- sabotaging is only leading you to a life of low confidence!

I never realized how much I put myself down until someone brought it to my attention. It was so embarrassing for another person to tell me that I had low self esteem that I needed to work on but it was true. If that person would have never told me that, I would still walk around talking down on myself to others.

Loving on yourself is so much easier than beating yourself down! Whether it’s your body image you hate, a mistake you made in the past, or a problem you’re dealing with now, let it go! Embrace yourself! Learn from your mistakes and move forward in life with a different perspective of yourself. A much sweeter one!

One thing that I’ve started doing is listening to a certain song that keeps me confident. Everyday I listen to Nicki Minaj ft. Beyonce- Feelin Myself because it describes exactly how I want to feel! Once you start to love yourself, no one can take that from you!

Love Yourself ❤️
