I know, like me, many of you all over the world are probably in disbelief, too?! COVID-19 has us like, "WTF?" But, nevertheless, we also know and have faith that we will see better days and come out of all of this together.
BUT FIRST, Coffee me, please! Before any day, I just need a moment of peace to myself or with the LORD, himself. I wasn't spending as much time with HIM as needed, and I know this reality was already written in HIS will, but I needed to self-check and quit playing, and really handle my business! My Spring/Summer was supposed to be consisted of graduating Flight School, with my wings and start my new, long-desired career as a flight attendant, potentially celebrate my 31st Birthday out of state and take a couple's, as well as a Girl's Trip. But little did I know, I would be flying right back to Atlanta, due to this world crisis. Normal life definitely took a turn for the 'weird'.
This experience has caused a shift in both my head and heart. My family is used to simply going to the park to play, or to the grocery store -especially our fave, Target! We have two little ones, under the age of 5, and they just don't get what the hell is going on. So therefore, we must improvise the best we can.This has brought out a different level of mothering in me for sure. As well as self-discipline.
I'm learning how to be my own accountability partner, instead of always feeling the need to call/text and include others into my health goals. Because let's be real: Not everyone is trying to obtain those same goals. Nor, do they have the same schedule. So I just motivate myself to do a few Youtube HIIT workouts in the evening, when the kids are down. It's actually been one the best adjustments that have come out of all of this, because I fell off for a minute, after having a pitty party because of my postponed plans. I'm gaining peace in just being patient, all while also being productive.
Lastly, building a brand takes time and will power, so what better time than now, right? I say all this to say, "DO IT NOW!" Whatever you want, work and go get it, because sitting and waiting ain't never helped nobody. Keep a positive circle of FRIENDS and FAMILY, who truly want to see you thrive. Create both, short-term and long-term goals and WRITE THEM DOWN so that you can see them in writing, in front of you everyday until they're all executed Check out my new youtube video, and see what some of my essentials consist of. There's also a link to the amazing planner I've been journaling in and has saved my life lately. Stay home + Stay safe. XOXO
