There are good days and bad days. Days when you will feel on top of the world and days when you feel like blah. So with this said, where do you find inspiration when you feel like you have none? I think that when you look for that inspiration outside of yourself, you may find that you may be a bit disappointed because you look onto someone or something (and with this I’m referring to material stuff)  to give you what you think you will find outside of you. It is when you stop

I’m a believer that no matter what our responsibilities are, no matter how many things we have to do, it is necessary to have an outlet. What is an outlet? Just like we use an outlet to charge our electronic devices, an outlet for us would be an activity or something that helps us recharge our batteries so that we can have the energy to do all the other things that we have to do. It is that outlet that gives us strength, it helps us deal with the everyday life. An outlet can

It is normal to be disappointed when something didn’t go right or when something that you wanted didn’t go through. Disappointments are a part of life. However, in order to grow in well-being, it is important to be able to view the disappointments in another light. I truly believe in the power that our mind has on our mental, emotional and physical health. I believe that with our mind we have the capacity to cure ourselves if we wanted to. The mind also has the power of makin

Needs are needs and they are to be acknowledged and respected. We all have a need to be loved, to be needed, to feel connected and a part of something, etc and these are all natural needs. Nothing wrong with them, except when we allow our needs to take over and rule our way of thinking, feeling and behaving in ways that compromise our well-being. This is why I wrote for the title of this post “beware of your needs” because no matter what need it is, that need, if it’s not in

Nobody is the boss of your life. You don’t have to hold yourself accountable to anyone but yourself. The reality is that nobody is living your life for you. For this reason, you need to live your life the way you feel fit. Of course, without hurting anyone nor yourself. So then, why pay so much attention to what others may think of you? I believe worrying too much about what others may think of us can paralyze us from being who we truly are. This causes complexes and the need

Sometimes we mistakenly believe that smiling and being positive is too much work, especially under a lot of stress or when sleep deprived. The truth is that being negative is too much work rather than being positive. Negativity only attracts more negativity. Think about it. If you go to a store and the clerk is in a bad mood, speaks to you with an attitude, what will your reaction be? You will feel tempted to be nasty right back, right? You certainly won’t want to go back to

Many times people may think that because of their age or because they have an illness that it is too late for them to eat right or to start exercising or to be the person that they want to be. It breaks my heart when someone thinks that because they are diabetic or because they have an illness that they can just continue their unhealthy lifestyle because in their mind they are thinking what’s the use if they are already sick. Because they are “old” (I write old in quotation m

There are times when we might feel like we need more in order to have more or that we need more in order to succeed or that we need more in order to have enough. There were many times when I felt this way and still did until recently and I learned that in life we just have to work with what we have. When you work with what you have, you will realize that you have enough, if not, plenty. You will realize that you are enough just the way you are. When you work with what you hav

I think this is the perfect topic for today because it’s the 4th of July and in the United States it’s time for celebration. A celebration of freedom. While some places have their freedom and we here in the United States are celebrating the 4th of July, we need to remind ourselves that there is another kind of freedom that we need and it is for this reason that I want to write about regaining your freedom. The freedom that I am referring to is not the freedom that you may be

Today’s blog post is more of a reminder than anything else and this is because many times we forget things that are so crucial to our overall well-being. There is a place to forget certain things because they are not helpful to our overall well-being, but there are other things that we can not afford to forget. For this reason, it’s important to remain in your knowing. Remain in the knowing that you are loved. This is something that sometimes we tend to forget. We forget beca

Everyday the weather changes. When it comes to the weather, we also go through different seasons. These changes in weather and seasons can make us feel different, changing our mood at times. Just like the weather, we go through changes in our life. We go through changes inside of us. And the challenge is not when it is all sunshine and great but when it gets cloudy around us. It is when things start to get cloudy around us that our mood can change, leading us to perhaps feeli

Self-love is so critical to your overall well-being because this is one of the basics for building the foundation of your well-being. Love leads to trust. Love leads to respect. Love leads to healthy boundaries. When it comes to having a healthy relationship with yourself, self-love has to be there. But many times, that lack of self-love tends to wear a mask and we think we love ourselves but in reality we don’t. It is when we lack self-love that we find ourselves in situatio
