Hey Ya'll!
Happy Friday evening to ya! One might wonder why I am blogging at 9:30 on a Friday night....she must be a REAL loser to be entertaining herself with the internet on a night when she can paint the town. I will have you know that I am drinking a glass...or two of vino while I type:) That is redeeming, right?
Balance. That is my answer.
We have heard it before...'Life is not easy.' Life is not fair.' 'I'll sleep when I am dead.' 'I don't have time to workout or eat healthy.' The list goes on. The truth is, the answer to all of this is balance. And thus why I am having a night alone. I am resting so I can fully enjoy tomorrow's events!
Life is not easy, nor fair, but it can be fun! It should be fun, and full of joy and each of us being the best and most successful version of ourself. There will always be stress, deadlines, family tragedies, love loss, and the list goes on. But we are in control of our destiny, and ultimately we are the only ones in control of our happiness. This brings us to the first F....
Friends & Family:
Studies have shown that having strong social interaction and relationships lead to lower mortality rates and a better state of mental health. There is no doubt that having positive influences that add something of value to your life aids you in being the best you can be. Likewise, it is important to remove the negative forces in your life. You have a girlfriend that only gossips about others, puts people down, or bitches about life? She has got to go :) There is no time for party poopers. You have a sibling that is resentful of your positive attitude, perception of life, and go-getter attitude? That is their problem and you don't have to apologize. Nor do you have to be best buds with them. We don't pick our family and as many of us have discovered, siblings can be night and day. We can and should love them and appreciate them, but just because they are blood doesn't mean we have to be buddy-buddy. We can't change the fact that family is family, my only point here is please don't feel obligated to do as they say or advise for fear of disappointing. You must live your life for you and go for what will make you happy!....I say all this assuming you desire only positive things :) You can however pick your friends....and your nose....but it's not polite to pick your friends nose. Just saying. Choose your friends wisely. We have limited free time in the midst of our hectic schedules. There is no use spending that precious time with those that are not positive influences. We should never feel obilgated to attend an event, hang with certain folks, or provide a service if we don't truly desire it! Enjoy life and enjoy it with those you enjoy it. Pretty simple, eh?
The next post will be about the second F......Fitness. This is one of my favorite topics, stay tuned!
Sweet Dreams Zzzzzz
