Disregard the B.S. and B(e) S(trong)!

"Some people think that to be strong is to never feel pain. In reality, the strongest people are the ones that we feel it, understand it, accept it, and learn from it"

Keep your head up
Keep your heart strong
 
Today was a very difficult day for me. Yesterday was wonderful, today was extremely trying and discouraing. Every and anything that could go wrong, went wrong. Patients were no where to be found, and my phone would not stop ringing. I felt overwhelmed; I wanted to slide into my bed and cry.
 
I needed...
 
 
 
There was nothing I could do but call my supervisor and one of my mentors. She said to me, "This is not worth you getting yourself worked up." She was so calm and so unaffected by what I was so clearly upset about! She calmed me. Her perspective was inspiring, nothing ever seems to bother her. 
 
I realized, I needed to practice what I always preach. My perspective  needed a serious makeover. There was nothing I could have done about the situation. The decisions to be made were difficult, but were definite, and I needed to act and act quickly. Getting worked up was not going to do anything, and could have made a bad situation even worse.
 
I knew then, being angry was not going to solve my situation. I picked myself up and regained my composure. My confidence came back and I applied my lipgloss and bloated my nose. After I ate my fruite snack and dranks some water, I felt perfectly fine. My energy returned, I looked beter and all was well!
 
When people try to control you, whether it be via emotional satisfactions, material gains etc, you need to realize one thing....IT IS YOUR DECISION TO ALLOW THEM TO BE THAT POWERFUL IN YOUR LIFE! When those things no longer mean anything to you, or your standards and priorities are different; things that seemed so important look so simple and stupid.
 
Remember...

 
 
There is nothing more rewarding and calming than realizing the strength in yourself.
  • No matter the situations and trials you have been forced to overcome, you are and have been strong enough to  live with them or overcome them
  • You need to smile and be strong
  • When everything is looking bleak, realize that there are always a solution to every problem. Some things you can change, and others you have to accept and change your perspective!
 
 
***
 
The B.S. will always continue. When people can use you, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they will. If they can benefit, they will take the opportunity, hoping you are not hurt in the process.
 
It is your job to be your biggest advocate. Protect yourself both physically and emotionally.
  • You are worth your own happiness.
  • Take time to breath when your day is going badly. (If you must call a friend, write down your feelings in your phone, buy a candy bar, go for a walk etc.)
  • Remember, being human means you make mistakes, you get upset and things happen. When all blows up, excuse yourself from the situation. Hang up the phone or leave the situation
Remember no matter how upset your are. You are not weak.
 


 
1. You must forgive people for their stupidity
2. Forgive yourself for being human and having bad days
3. Remember that B.S. can be viewed as two ways, Bull**** or Being Strong.
4. Your perspective means everything
 
***Don't let the nonsense and the B.S. stop you from being happy***
 
 
 
 
Solutions to your daily annoyances are rather simple.
  1. Realize everyone is not going to like your personality! You are custom-made by God, special and unique
  2. Realize that everyone is not going to consider your feelings at all times, when they are too busy worrying about themselves. Pardon them, be empathetic, but live your life and take care of yourself.
  3. Note that B.S. happens every day, B(e) S(trong), find something to look forward to. Make plans to treat yourself, find something positive to look forward to (whether it's a weekend getaway, a nice cup of tea, anything)
  4. There is a solution to every problem and every messed up day.
Walk with ease, do not let anyone or anything get you down.
 
"This is not worth you getting yourself worked up over!"

When in love, we oftentimes believe the best of people--we also see what we want to see. -PrettyChiq Sometimes the best thing you can do is walk away and continue to live and appreciate life. -PrettyChiq Many women and men fail to realize the men  or women they love can change overtime. Life has a way of 'softening' or 'hardening' people; it all depends on your nature--whether you're naturally a loving or hateful person. I have learned some people create the perfect image of who they believe someone wants them to be....My ex was no different, he created the image of the loving son that adores children and does not drink or cheat....while he really resents his parents, cheats and does drink. I became a victim of a web of lies. Over the years I have come to realize a man or woman obsessed with something is the most dangerous person I can know. My ex was obsessed with possessing women. While some men are obsessed with fame, money and power...he was and i

"Everyday you wake up, you should know your life is worth living and loving. Perfection is based on a person's perspective. What may be perfect to me, may be imperfect to someone else. Instead of beating yourself up for falling back a little or crashing, applaud yourself for surviving. As long as every day is lived as though it's worth living and you are worth loving, life will be and feel so fulfilling." --PrettyChiq    It is necessary to realize, life is not meant to be perfect. Who said you're suppose to go through perfect times each and every day? It is through adversity and tough times can one truly recognize and cherish the hard times. Sometimes it is through the very bad and rough times, can we truly appreciate and love the good. One have to know the bad in order to know what good truly is. I was talking to a friend of mine, and she told me she was tired of suffering and struggling. I listened as she spoke and agreed. She was going through s

"Sometimes its necessary to get away, clear your head. Once you step back from the situation, it makes more sense." --PrettyChiq "You should wake up everyday as though you are your biggest priority. By investing in yourself and your future, you can ultimately make the world a bigger and better place with all you have to offer. Don't let anyone steal your joy, not one is worth the stress but you!" --PrettyChiq  Sometimes things are as simple as you make them. There will be times when the world is closing in on you. Deal with the circumstances that overwhelm you. It is as simple as taking a break. Take a vacation, get away from the stress. By stepping back sometimes, you can view things in a better manner. Even if it means a weekend, it is healthy to step away from your environment or situation and reevaluate what's important and unimportant to you. "You are not weak for feeling and being human.
