. A good way to get the blood pumping, get some fresh air, clear your mind. I prefer a good beach walk whenever possible. I mean who can resist the ocean?Ā
Pampering is always a pick me up. I am a nail polish junkie. Pretty nails just make me happy. I also do an at home mask and facial scrub once a week .the ultimate is aĀ foot soak. Epsom salts, warm water, and any essential oil. My favorite is lavender. Aromatherapy plus soft tootsies. Multiple treats at once. Below is the masque I am using at the moment it’s $19.95 on Amazon. I absolutely love it.
Stress is the thrash of modern life- we all generate it but if you don't dispose of it properly , it will pile up and overtake your life Click To Tweet
My theme for the week seems to be letting go of what no longer serves me . It’s amazing how much junk we hold on to . Old hurts , old feelings and outdated beliefs . I just got so tired of the heaviness of it all. Letting go like life is an evolutionary process. Ā We all have to remember the importance of being here now . To me being here now means observing the past , learning from it but not letting it steal our present joy . Sometimes we just have to set it all on fire and let it burn and and let the ashes fly . We can not run from the trials and tribulations or the pain . We must grow through it , learn from it . Boy in life do we learn . I appreciate what I have and from appreciation more will manifest. Hating where you are now will only make you miserable . Misery is most definitely our purpose for being here . There is no right or wrong way of life . Life is just that .. it is what it is Ā . There are no mistakes in the universe . The more we fight the worse it will be . Now time for a little rest and relaxation . Let the future take care of itself . Trust the process .
You will never appreciate the true value of sleep until you become a mother. I have learned a lot this year.Patience … that is a work in progress. I have never been a patient person but with a baby, you have to be.
Showers went through the window, eating a full meal sometimes did. I don’t know how I got through those partly sleepless nights but I did. Being a mother teaches you strength and resiliency. Some days, to be honest, I felt like I was losing it. Love is a crazy thing tho. Some days are a mish-mash of crazy antics and as tired as I am I manage to smile and feel my heart burst as I see that sweet face. I have to say I was I didn’t gain that much weight.
I still do have a little belly pouch though. If I Ā manage to do five minutes exercise I consider myself fit. Trying to find a routine that works or somewhat of a routine. I walk to work sorta there is a commute between buses that’s my exercise for now. What’s important at the end of the day is that she feels loved and safe. It’s trying to find a balance between work, mummy duties and time for yourself. Thankfully there are no rules on how to live life and despite what social media portrays nothing is perfect. We are all just trying to do the best we can each day. Mothers are truly a blessing. It takes hard work, dedication, and a little madness to be a mother. Happy Mother’s Day šš¬š
