Good Morning everyone

Hey everyone good morning! Well it’s the day after my 45th bday and I have to say the chemicals in my body or maybe it’s the position of the moon but I’m feeling pretty damn good.

I’m running off now to take the rugrats to school and then to Mikes. Working a little bit today in the garage but off to Motor’s Diner first (our fav breakfast place). How can anyone not recognize that the simple pleasures in life are sometimes the most rewarding?

Boys are crying because they wanted another snow day lol. Fat chance boys off to school you go!

Anyway take time for yourself today to get yourself together and regroup if you are having a not so good morning in your mind. Take care of you. Sometimes all it takes is 5 or 10 mins to sit, relax, drink your coffee or tea, and put on your favorite tunes. Do it!!!

Okay, I have to go clean the snow off my car and do some shoveling. Brrrr…. love it though and I wouldn’t trade upstate NY for anything. I gotta have my change of seasons.

Have a great day everyone!

 

Happiness is achievable

It’s about 8:00 and the house is super quiet. Boys are sleeping. Rain is falling, yes rain. Should be snow here in NY this time of year but eh rain always has a soothing way about it now matter how messy it makes the left over snow look.

Anyway this is the best time of the day when I can think. When I think I start typing away so here I go.

It’s two days away from my birthday and I feel the more I grow closer to my mid 40’s the clearer things become. Life is truly black and white. It’s either you live it and you live it happily or you don’t.

Why would you stop pursuing your happiness? The sky is limitless. Yes there are barriers to happiness such as yourself, other people, and circumstances but look at it this way, the only thing that can truly prevent yourself from being happy is death lol.

Remember this is the normal girl from Long Island talking(who now resides in upstate NY) again and who has been through A LOT and when I say A LOT of different barriers but nothing has stopped me from getting to where I needed to be at that very point in my life. Like right now. I’m resting finally. Hmmm or how else can I describe it..? I feel calm and peace in my life right now. But wait my life is not perfect omg not even close. I’m going to go into a little bit of detail just so you guys can relate to what is going on in my life and how I DO NOT let that have an impact on my happiness. Got that?

For starters, money is tight. When I mean tight I mean tight like 3 pounds of sausage in a two lb. bag tight lol.  My child support hasn’t come in in 3 weeks, I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown interviewing and doing presentations for a job that I so desperately need and want. I’m having major issues with my 12-year-old son regarding just about everything and everything. And re-occurring trust issues with my boyfriend(partly because of my views on our relationship and how I handle things). Too much to explain. These issues are just the gist of it.

My point is that I am happy even with all of that going on. Do you know why?? Because I put everything in perspective. Money issues will always be there and if I don’t think positive those money issues will never get resolved. The CS will come in when it comes in. I am a little ahead on paying my bills so I have to look at that as a plus. If I continue to think positive about this job I am going to get, it will happen.

The issues with my son, aren’t really issues. It’s life and so be it. Things could be a lot worse and I am blessed that this is the extent of my issues with him.

The trust and control issues with my boyfriend is a whole other ball game. For the most part we get along great but in order to get back to where we were about five months ago, we need to work on our communication.

All this can be fixed. None of it is life threatening. If I continue to stress, it will be life threatening.

There is always a way. I’m reverting back to my earlier posts about positive thinking. It isn’t easy as I make it sound. It took me years and years to finally get this cycle working the right way.

The way I got to this point of realizing what is important to worry about and what isn’t, was by reading and googling everything about positive thinking and eliminate stress. Everyone does it in their own special way so sometimes you have to take bits and pieces of things that will work for you.

Trust me on this. Happiness is achievable. I promise. coffee

Signs to look for

I just read this great article from Expanded Consciousness. It talks about how when you are being drained by someone or something that is causing a negative energy around you these are the signs to look for;

  • You start feeling depressed even though there is no apparent reason for it (and you’re not clinically depressed),
  • You can’t log into your bank account (or any other) online, social media, account and keep getting an error message,
  • You get a bad headache for no apparent reason,
  • You get dropped calls or sudden, passing static on your phone while speaking to someone at a location you don’t normally have that experience,
  • You get super tired all of a sudden and feel the need to take a nap even though you are not sleep deprived,
  • You feel resistant to helping yourself or giving yourself something you know you need (i.e. resist eating when you are actually hungry),
  • Your throat feels sore as if you’ve caught a virus (sometimes that is how our body reacts to the lower energy). It’s up to you to recognize and make note of these patterns as they are personal),
  • You lose your house keys, lock your car keys inside your car, lose your wallet or get something you value stolen,
  • An email you sent out does not reach its intended recipient and hours later you get a mailer daemon message,
  • Your mind starts spinning on negative thoughts about someone or a situation of the past (which you had done inner work on to clear), etc.
  • You engage in behaviors that are against self-love- such as spending money on unnecessary shopping or buying a tech gadget that you don’t really need but consider fun when you don’t have the budget for it.

The possibilities are endless…

I copied and pasted those verbatim from their website but I want to add that I have had almost all of those signs when there was a negative aura around me.

It’s crazy but one time, I forgot exactly what it was that was draining me, but I ran to the store to pick something up and when I went to turn on my car again, my starter blew! Just like that and I felt this electric charge run through me. Geez I wish I could remember what was going on at the time but I blocked it out so much that I realized that it was detrimental for me to even have those thoughts. It wreaks havoc on your body, mind, and everything around you.

Listen to what your body is telling you. The minute you feel that dip in your momentum, blow it out. Change your routine immediately. Make a cup of tea, pick up a book, call a positive person in your life. Talk a walk and do something that you love doing to boost your spirits and draw you away from the negativity.

It’s not goofy. Remember, I’m the sort of normal girl from Long Island that isn’t all into chants and supernatural stuff to the extreme but I do believe in positive thinking and manifesting your destiny. It works. I promise. I repeat myself about this because I truly believe you can change your life based on just your thoughts.

Good luck and enjoy your Sunday!
