My positivity journey!

Hey guys so usually I don't share a lot about my personal life on social media. Honestly I mainly share pictures of my family or posts of achievements. As for drama or illnesses or anything negative I steer clear of it. There is no point in telling everyone my business. If you happen to be one that likes to share everything, I am not saying it's a bad thing, it's simply not my thing.

I have to admit that I haven't always been a positive person, I've struggled with it my entire life. I know a lot of people like me and I thought I would share some stuff that might help someone. 

Recently I got a health scare and it has made me appreciate the smaller things in life. I know it's very cliche and most will think that it's silly. Really though it has changed my perspective in life. I love my life, my son, my husband and my amazing friends! In your deepest time of need, those that truly care will always be by your side.

I can't encourage you enough to forget about the small things that truly don't matter. It may seem like life kicks you down and it's hard to get up, but have faith and keep on keeping on. Easier said then done of course but I encourage you to simply try. After my health scare I have been feeling less anxious less worried and have REALLY tried to be more positive.

Things that I recommend that have really helped me include:

• Talking 
• Walking
• Going out with my friends
• Date nights with my husband
• Treating my self (buying crap I don't need...hee hee)
• Planning (yes I am a total nerd)
• Visiting my loved ones
• Listening to music
• Taking bubble bath's
• Going to the movies with my son 

Everyone has different ways of coping you know, dealing with stuff, find what makes you tick. I usually also like to have working out or hiking on my list, but haven't been able to, hopefully soon enough I will be back at it.

I hope that if it's one thing I can do, it's to instill in my son the confidence to know that there isn't a single problem in this world that can't be overcome. I also hope to help at least one person that might be experiencing something similar.

I share my little story without going in depth just to say BREATH, this too shall pass!
I thank god everyday for allowing me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am beyond grateful for my family and my friends.

Reach out if you need someone, a friend, a stranger, anyone! Never give up on life.
May you all find your motive for moving forward.

Best Regards; your blogger pal,

Inner peace and tranquility

Hey guys, so today I wanted to make a little different kind of post. Something more personal and positive. I struggle with anxiety and have my entire life. Most people don't understand anxiety, unless they also suffer from it as well. This isn't a post about anxiety though, it's about Inner peace and tranquility. I want to share a few things that have helped me in my life, and things that I have to remind myself of. As seen pictured above, I 100% agree that NOTHING can bring you peace but yourself! Being at peace is such a wonderful feeling. We have to remember like the picture below says....

Seriously guys, being alive and well is something most of us take for granted. I say make today count. If you can make today count, then you will see how happy that will make you. Inner peace comes with people and things that bring you happiness.We need to realize and be grateful for what we have. In this day in age, it's so easy to complain and to pay attention to all of the negative aspects of our lives, whether it be how busy we are at work/school, how much housework we need to get done, or unfinished projects. It's all sorts of things in our daily lives that bring us stress. Instead I urge you to try and think of the good things in life, not the bad. A little thing that will make such a huge difference, trust me. I am forever stressing about something. I am teaching myself, to stop worrying about things out of my control, and to focus on the things I can control and the great things in my life. I just recently started going hiking with a few family members. Man I forgot how much I love nature and the outdoors in general. I live in a beautiful state full of wonderful trails and I hardly ever get out. Here are just a couple of pictures of the last two trails I've done.
The first pic was taken up Millcreek Canyon, SLC UT and the second picture is Bell Canyon in Sandy, UT

I am going to make it a point to get out as much as possible this summer. My hopes are for at least 3x a month..maybe more. I share this with you, because this brings me so much inner peace and tranquility. Find what makes you tick, or what allows you to release stress. Find something you enjoy doing. Lately after a VERY difficult start to this new year, I have been able to start relaxing and start truly enjoying myself. I am focusing on this blog that I love so much, on my boys that are my world, on all of those hobbies that make me so happy. I urge you to let go of all that is holding you back and just try! It really boils down to the little things in life, because those are the things that really matter. Inner peace and tranquility go hand in hand. Find one and you will have them both.

I will leave you with this last quote and thought.

I love you all and thanks for spending a couple minutes out of your day with me and remember to try to unlock YOUR best!

Much Love,
