7 Excuses That May Make You Feel Better, For Now

Audry Hepburn is quoted as saying “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, ‘I’m possible.’” She may have a good point here.

Is it that the thing we are facing is impossible? Why are we so quick to dismiss things and simply say, “It’s impossible”? Could it be that we are secretly saying we don’t believe in ourselves.

5 Things to Remember When You Feel Overwhelmed by Poor Health

I got hit by a cold bug that was going around last week. Wondering if I was going to make it through this one actually kept me awake one night.

I was feeling pressure because of my kids and the fact that they need me to put food on the table for them. But as my sister said, “It’s not that dramatic.”

It does feel that way sometimes. Maybe if nothing else, you’re just concerned that you won’t lose any pay and can meet your financial obligations.

Making it out the other end of feeling-pretty-miserable I realized a few things that make a DIFFERENCE.

1.  Stop pushing yourself and your body.

Chances are, being sick is your body saying, “I need a BREAK”. If you can’t get off work, try SKIPPING coffee and sugars, which push your body and drain the energy it needs to heal. Take naps and got to bed earlier, if you can.

2.  Remember what is important in your life.

In my case I had realized I hadn’t been spending much TIME with my kids. I slowed down, played a game with them, and relaxed. They are the MOST IMPORTANT thing to me right now. You my readers high on the list as well. 😉

3. Get help.

You should see a doctor. I wasn’t that bad off and, like I said, in my case I vented my thoughts on my sister. TALK to someone. My sister’s candid reaction, “It’s not that dramatic”,  helped RELEASE THE TENSION I was feeling.

4. Hold off on important or life changing decisions.

When you’re down you often just need a BREAK from it all. Being in a low state may influence you to make the wrong decision, just because you are feeling low at the moment. Most DECISIONS CAN WAIT.

5. Give your body what it needs.

You may need to take medicine. Sometimes all you need is HEALTHY EATING. Try move vegetables and fruit! I my case I have a few additional tricks I like to use for cold and cough type illnesses: vitamin C with bioflavonoids, propolis, salt gargle, lemon and baking soda drink, and painkillers if needed.

(This post is not medical advice. It is for informational purposes only. You should consult a doctor if you are feeling sick.)

You  will get to know your body, if you pay attention and listen to the signals it gives you. The most important thing is to take care of yourself so you can have the strength and energy to keep BEING AWESOME.

25 Inspiring Quotes for When You Need More Courage

Asking for that raise, working through the rough times in a relationship, smiling when you feel like crying, being there for others when they don’t notice, or putting yourself out there everyday because you believe in what you are doing takes courage.

It all comes down to having the courage to be who you are and be willing to see something through because you believe in what you are doing.

How to Dominate Your Emotions and Choose the Life You Want

How would you feel getting being paged over the loudspeakers in a public area, such as a mall or airport, to come to the information desk? Many people say their first reaction is that something bad must have happened.

That reaction is learned from experience and what we were told in life, it has become automatic. The emotions take over and until something happens to contradict it, most people would operate with that assumption and get a little stressed out, until it was resolved.

Emotions have important roles, such as warning us of danger but it’s dangerous to simply react. See what you can do about this.
