MY JOYFUL CORNER………………This is my first blog and I’d like to say welcome J
I’d like to believe that I can bring joy into the lives of others through sharing experiences with you. Let me start with, I am not a “licensed” professional but I have been through many experiences in my life; some good, some great, some awful and scary. I’m a daughter, a twin, a sister, spouse, niece, cousin, granddaughter and friend. I’ve been married, divorced, a single mother, a partner in business and a colleague. Of course there are many things that come along with all of those.
We all have stresses in life; some can be harder than others. Some seem impossible to bear but what choice do we have? We must keep going day after day, right? Yes, we do yet there can be ways to think about your stresses that may help…..
Work, family, partner, significant other or spouse, not getting to your chores or maybe not being able to keep a date or appointment….schedules! Either ours or the ones we love; can be down right difficult. It doesn’t matter what other people think about how big or small our stresses are, they are big to us. People you know will tell you things like better communication, better planning, patience or even the famous “one day at a time” can help relieve them. Seems those who love us sometimes believe they know what is best for us and they are right, these things can help but never make them go away….Stress is a part of life and so is learning to cope with them.
I like to believe the stresses we have in our lives are there for a reason. Think about the things you have gone through in your past…what did you learn from them? Did you take what you learned into your future life or are you repeating that behavior until you can?
Every single thing we do or go through happens for a reason. It’s a cliché I know but so true. It can be a good stress or bad, uncomfortable, depressing, illness or even exciting, adventurous and rewarding. There are many different kinds of stress. No matter what it is, it’s really what you do with the lessons we learn from these that can change our lives. Whether it’s for the good or not, is only up to ourselves.
Let me give you an example: I remember thinking when I got sick with Cancer; this cannot get any worse…..but it did. I think that may have been the biggest stress in my life but there has been many. Then I realized after awhile that it took this for me to realize that I needed to change the way I thought about what I was going through in order to change it or make it something positive in my life. When I was going through this; I had children who counted on me that I could not take care of. I lost my income, my home and almost lost my marriage over it. I had family who could not understand what I was going through. I thought no one was there for me….I was scared, I thought I was alone but I was wrong. I just felt really awful, all the time and when you feel really bad, you think there are no places to turn and no way to make it better. There is……
Stay positive as much as you can.
Think of things you can do that make you feel stronger, until you are.
Find one thing everyday that makes you feel worthy and you will realize that you are worthy!
You will regain more strength this way and find your way to a better tomorrow even if it doesn’t end up being the way it used to be.
Everything in life teaches us something. Look for the lessons and pass them on…. We would love to hear from you!
Until the next time… wishing you Joy & Peace into your day.
