Patience can be tough sometimes.

We can be tired and impatient.

We can be overwhelmed and impatient.

We can be frustrated and impatient.

We can be angry and impatient.

We can be sad or anxious and be impatient.

We can feel misunderstood and be impatient.

We can feel disappointed in ourselves or others and be impatient.

Patience takes practice. Patience takes time. Be slow and easy with yourself. Give yourself grace on tough days when patience is escaping you. Be kind to yourself and others. Practice patience not perfection and your day will all fall into place as it should be.

Have a fabulous day!

Life has thrown some tough challenges at me and I know I’m not alone when it comes to facing tough days. Whatever you’re experiencing that may be causing you distress, rest assured there are ways to cope and people who are available to help.

Seeking help is as easy as picking up your phone and doing a Google search. Look for free therapy either online or in your area. Check out your local library for some self help books and services offered. Research classes offered through your local recreation centres and if possible rely on friends and family to lift you up and give you a helping hand.

We all need support from time to time. Give as well as receive and remember that you are never alone!

Stop waiting for a time when you’re smaller or healthier or richer! Do what you want to do now! Stop waiting for time and stop wasting time! This is your time, your year to stop putting things off and just do them!

I’m working on my mental health, learning to thrive in my new normal.

I’m working on my physical health so that I can truly live life happily.

I’m working on improving my thoughts, my moods and my attitudes.

I’m working on being present for the people I love and doing my best to support them as much as they support me.

I’m working on fixing what can be fixed and letting go of what I can’t control and being the best version of me despite the challenges life has thrown my way.

Life is a journey and I’m ready to travel! Are you?

Don’t let Monday drag you down! Look at it as a fresh start, a new opportunity to try doing something differently. Reboot, recharge, reflect, refresh and redo!

And if the day is looking challenging and chaotic then let today’s image boost your mood and motivate you to keep plugging away! You are amazing, full of potential and an inspiration to all you meet and to everyone who has the distinct pleasure of knowing you!

Just in case no one has spoken these words to you today I am telling you that you are…

Beautiful

Talented

Smart

Capable

Worthy

Deserving

ENOUGH!!!!

So go out, hold your head high and slay the day! Show the world what you are made of! Be proud of who you are!

Did you start the new year with all sorts of promises, plans, wishes and resolutions only to say a few days later that you’ve abandoned them? Did you give up all those dreams of being different; healthier, more productive and prosperous, kinder and more patient, full of gratitude and positivity?

Don’t despair! Every minute, every hour, every day is a new beginning waiting for you to do better, do different and do your best. Your best will always look different. Your energy, motivation, strength and determination will always look different.

The one thing that remains the same is that YOU ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH! Your best is always enough! Your strength today is enough! Your motivation today is enough! Your energy today is enough!

So go about your day knowing that you’re getting it all done the best you can whether it’s moving your body, paying your bills, making plans with friends or drinking more water!

If you’re feeling a little tired and overwhelmed with Christmas preparations then the image below is perfect for you!

The day is done so rest and know you did your best. Accept that your best doesn’t look the same every day.

Your family wants you and your time not a million gifts so stick to your budget and have fun together watching Christmas movies with yummy snacks and cozy blankets.

Look back at your day and remember the moments when you received a hug, a smile or a word or two of encouragement.

Get a good night’s sleep because tomorrow is a new day full of wonderful opportunities and memories to make!

No matter how stressed you may feel, you are strong and capable and you got this!

Merry Christmas! 🎄

How many of us really need another sweater or mug? I bet most of us have way more stuff than we need or can use. This year let’s wish for something different.

Merry Christmas!

With the holidays and Christmas approaching, it’s been hard to find the time to sit and write. Today’s post is simple but hopefully still impactful. I hope you’re enjoying the hustle and bustle of the preparations for the upcoming seasonal events and are full with the feelings of anticipation for the special moments to be spent with all the people you love best!

Find a few minutes of each day to rest and refill your cup of energy perhaps by reflecting on the images below.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I am blessed with a roof over my head. My home is warm, dry and comfortable. My home is my sanctuary, a place where I feel safe and secure.

My home isn’t just a house or structure. It is a place where the people I love most in the world live with me. If the walls could tell stories they would speak about the laughter and tears, the celebrations, the memories, the joys and the grief. I am always happy to be home.

I hope you have a place to call home. A place full of love, of happiness and snapshots of time spent with family and friends!
