#100 Days of Positive Thinking Day 5: I AM A CARING PERSON

Today is DAY 5 of #100DOPT: I AM A CARING person...

We are all guilty of at some point of CARING about others 1st before we do ourselves. What today is about is 1. We give (care) for ourselves 2. We receive (care) from others. We give ourselves permission to care for ourselves and to receive care from others.
  • Self-Care Tip #1 : Spend time in a hot bubble bath, wash your hair, cut your nails, pluck your eye brows (4 the Ladies)
  • Self-Care Tip #2 : This one is for the guys, do #1 without the plucking of eyebrows
  • Self-Care Tip #3 : Go get or ASK someone to give you a full body massage to be refreshed and renewed
  • Self-Care Tip #4 : Spend some quality time with yourself listening 2 music, reading a book,watching an inspiring movie
Give yourself a break from the busyness of your life, find a quiet place to just sit in silence, or take a walk in a park.If you use your hands and feet a lot to serve others, invest in a hand and foot massage. You are just as important as others. It doesn't matter if you took care of others and never thought of yourself 1st before, let taking CARE of yourself become your truth Today!

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?"   "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...

Being a MOM

While I pride myself in being a Mom, a nurturer and everything that goes with it, I have been feeling much like a failure of late. My girls (especially the middle one and the eldest one) have been struggling in their schoolwork not the understanding of the work but the self discipline that goes with making progress at school. A week ago I sat on one of the benches at the station and just managing to at that time (7am ) of the morning to write notes to teachers in message books as I had kept the girls at home the previous Friday because I forgot to do it the night before. As I went from one message book t o the next I opened the last one that was my middle daughter’s and here two warnings and a nice message from her teacher stared at me. As I proceeded to read the note I was filled with anger and much disappointment... I completely became one of those ladies that just let it “rip” on the train station and yes the “nasty” mom came out you know the one where you switch to Afrik...
