Hey everyone in todays blog I am going to be talking about life, my job, and where I am at on my journey with my faith.
First off its been about a month since my last update and since then I have landed another part-time job for the holiday season, and I have also taken some small steps in continual growth with my faith. I have also taken some time to reflect on my current season in life and where I want to be instead of where I am right now.
I have taken some decisions regarding my mental health very lightly until now, I have since determined certain patterns in my everyday life wether it is at work or at home that I tend to do when my mood and/or emotions are low. Some examples of these include taking naps often, eating less, and working out more, you may look at these and think well theres nothing wrong with taking naps however I mean I wake up in the morning and then I eat breakfast and then I essentially go back to bed for another couple of hours cause I feel no motivation to get up and do something.
I have now decided that as soon as my eyes open I need to start my day whatever that may look like, sometimes I take shower or a bath, and sometimes I may make a nice hearty breakfast. I find waking up and being motivated harder in the fall/winter seasons more so than spring/summer, In order to help promote positivity in my life at home I put sticky notes every where I go in the morning wether thats in the bathroom or everywhere in my bedroom. This helps my mind to only think truth and not lies, for example “I am beautiful”, “I am smart”, “I am perfect the way I am”, and “I am a daughter of God”.
This not only helps with positive thinking but it also helps and motivates me to grow deeper roots in my faith with christ. I have a tendency to wake up on Sundays and say “ehhhhhhhhh I don’t feel like driving to church today” but somehow I always end up at a service, because deep down inside I know I need community otherwise I would fall apart slowly. Community is such an important thing to me and is very rewarding being able to celebrate others and to be celebrated during life accomplishments and milestones.
Thanks for following me on my journey through life and I hope you guys have an amazing holiday season and stay tuned for more updates through the new year!
