Are You Putting Your Health On Hold?

It’s interesting how I hear many times “I’m very hungry but I have to finish this task first” or how people on a constant basis sacrifice their sleep in order to get things done. I even hear from people that they have no time to workout. In my mind, it is no wonder that as a society we are getting sicker and sicker. With the exception of those who work at night because there are jobs where you have to be up all night but you can recuperate the sleep during the day, if you are

You Are Getting a Bargain But You Don’t Realize This Yet

It’s interesting that the post that is read the most is “Why Do Good People Get the Short End of the Stick” which I posted, I believe, a few months ago. It seems like people search using words like “sadness” and “life”. It is this that pushes me to write today’s post. Life is not always fair, however, life is whatever you want to make out of it. However way you look at yourself and your relation to the world and others, that’s how your life will be. This is where your self-co

Embrace Your Humanness

There will be times where you will make mistakes from time to time. There will be times where you will feel like you can’t seem to get things together. There will be times where you will feel more emotional. There will be times where you will not feel like yourself. When we have times like these, we sometimes tend to be hard on ourselves. I know this very well because I can be the queen of being so hard on myself. For example, when it comes to languages I tend to want to be a

The Willingness to Mature

What does maturity have to do with well-being? A lot. Maturity comes in different ways. There are circumstances in life that forces us to mature, experiences that we go through over and over that leaves us with no option but to learn from those lessons of life. But more so, I think in order to mature, there needs to be a willingness to mature. I believe maturity is essential to well-being because when we are willing to mature it means we are willing to grow and growth is part

Do You Really Want What You Say You Want?

We all want so many things in life. Who doesn’t?! We all want financial success, a successful career, success in romantic relationships, etc and it seems like there are many things that we do in order to try to get those things. There are times when not having success at reaching that goal may seem as if we are doing something wrong when everything we are doing is suppose to be right. There are things that I have analyzed about our behavior that makes me question certain thin

The Kinds of People You Need In Your Life

Only you know what is best for you and you know the kinds of people that you need in your life. This is because each and everyone of us are different and unique. Your needs will be different from others, your personality is different and so on and so this is why you know what is best for you and the kinds of people that you need in your life. However, there are certain kinds of people that we ALL need and this is so essential for our well being. These kinds of people are peop

The Main Ingredient In Your Life

There are many times when we expect something to happen in life or for someone to show up in our life in order to be happy. We wait for that special someone to arrive, we wait till we have the perfect job, or till we graduate, or whatever it is that we are expecting to bring us happiness. When this is the case, we are in for a terrible disappointment because we will wait for so long and postpone our happiness. There is one main ingredient in your life and this is the ingredie

Are You Making Daily Deposits to Your Health?

This past weekend was a very stressful weekend to the point that I thought I was going to have a breakdown. I have had a lot going on caring for a loved one and it can be very overwhelming if one is not careful. And why did it get to this point? Because this weekend made me realize one thing that I am asking you today, are you making daily deposits to your health? This weekend I realized that for some time I had stopped making my usual deposits to my health and when we do thi

Your Most Important Commitment

Today on Valentine’s Day, we all think about our soulmate, that special someone to love, to share ourselves with. Even for those who are currently single, we think about having that special someone in our life, all the things we would like to do with them and for them. I am one to say that it is a basic need to love and be loved. There is nothing wrong with wanting a soulmate, with wanting someone to share yourself with, your thoughts, your dreams, to do things with. It seems

What Does It Mean That You Have Control Over Your Life?

On January 2nd, I tweeted “You have control over your life”. Some may probably ask themselves “how do I have control over my life when this has happened and that has happened?!”. When you say and ask yourself this, you are putting yourself in a victim position where things just happen to you and you have no control over it. If there’s one thing that I learned in 2014 is that indeed, things just happen in life that will be out of your control and it’s not this that I am referr

How To Gain Focus In Life

I’ve had several conversations lately that I found quite interesting because there was a common theme in every conversation. The people I spoke with all wanted many things out of life and what they felt they lacked was not money nor time, as one would perhaps think. What they felt they lacked was focus. Focus is a very important topic to discuss since the lack of it can make one feel distracted, unmotivated, feel a sense of not accomplishing much. One of the several ingredien

On This Day and Everyday…..

On this day of Christmas, but not just Christmas, everyday it should be this way, it is important to live with gratefulness. Gratefulness for having your loved ones with you. Grateful that you have shelter. Grateful that you have a job, if you have a job. Grateful for any good that is in your life. Life is way too short to stress the small stuff. Be loving all the time. You do this by being kind to others, by smiling at others, by speaking nice words to others, by reminding t

“How Can I Get Rid of The Feeling of Being Stuck?”

I think most people feel stuck in life every once in a while because sometimes the circumstances in life may get in the way. However, if you constantly feel stuck, then something is going on. Feeling stuck on a constant basis can make you feel hopeless, depressed and a sense of not having any control over your life. These feelings are the very feelings that will keep attracting to you more situations and people who will either make you stuck or keep you in a stuck place. One

“Why Do Good People Get The Short End of The Stick?”

I had a very interesting conversation with someone some days ago in which that person asked me “why do good people get the short end of the stick?” Now, when people ask this and I know this because I have asked myself this question before, this question stems from some sort of hurt that the person may feel. Perhaps that person gave their all to someone they love and was hurt and disappointed by them. Perhaps that person lost their job that they love in an unfair manner or the

You Need To Lose In Order To Win

Wouldn’t it be nice that the person that we love loved us back and not have to go through so much hurt when it comes to love? Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to invest so much time nor money in a business when starting out? Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to workout every day and eat right every day for us to see weight loss? Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to go to dozens and dozens of job interviews before finding a job? Gosh, this all sounds exhausting, right?! One thing w

Your Mindset Is Everything!

I’m sharing this because I bet this happens to many people so I feel the need to share this. I found myself for a couple of days in a funk. Don’t ask me why. All I know is that I found myself feeling down and I was wondering why. Then I found myself feeling physically tired. Then I found myself thinking about “oh how I don’t have this yet”, “oh how this hasn’t happened yet”. I had to come to a point where I had to stop and ask myself why. Then I came to the conclusion that I

“Am I Qualified To Do This Or That In Life?”

Have you ever asked yourself this very question that I just wrote? Have you ever had a goal or dream of doing or being something but questioned whether it was possible? Have you ever thought how what you want can be possible when the odds seem against you? What prompts me to write this is that I know many people question whether or not they are qualified to do this or that in life. I think we all have questioned ourselves this, especially when a dream seems so big to reach. B

Why Taking What Others Do Personal Is In Vain

This past week I said a phrase in Portuguese and it wasn’t the proper way of saying the phrase. It was something so silly as using the wrong adjective to describe something and a woman yelled so loud in front of everyone, correcting my Portuguese. Mind you, I didn’t expect her to respond that way and I couldn’t help but laugh. Seeing my response made her realize that she should not have yelled like that, so she apologized out loud and said that she reacted that way because sh

Feeling Frustrated and Miserable In Life? Let This Feeling Propel You To Higher Levels

I am one to advocate that emotions are meant to be felt and understood. Not ignored nor treated as if they are just “emotions”. Our emotions are an indicator of where we are in life. Just like a thermometer measures the body temperature, our emotions measure how our soul is doing. It is an indicator of whether we are aligned with what our soul wants. With this said, if you are feeling frustrated and miserable in life, rather than ignore these feelings, allow them to propel yo

Don’t Bottle In Your Emotions Nor What You Are Thinking When Feeling Low

Feeling and showing vulnerability is something that perhaps many don’t feel comfortable with and perhaps many may feel like this is a weakness. Well, I think if one thinks this is a weakness, then it is implying that being human is being weak because as human beings we all have and will have moments of vulnerability. It is only natural. When feeling vulnerable, it is very important not to bottle in your emotions nor what you are thinking when feeling on the low side. Bottling
