Affirmations & Inspirations

After a long break from my blog, I decided to touch base today. I honestly hit a brick wall and was so overwhelmed with my school work I had no time for nothing else. My school work became my focus and priority. I had to set a side many things, including my blog. The stress and workload was overwhelming. There were peiords where I felt many times, I could not do this.

But I wrote an affirmation specifically for myself and read it each day before I began my day. I also followed it with a prayer and that seemed to help me get through these difficult times. I set goals for myself each day and I try as much as possible to follow them. I still need to work hard on time management and using my time more efficiently. Identifying the problem is the first step, which I've done. I just need to continue to work on improving in this area.

When times are tough, which they're most times, I go to youtube, and watch inspirational videos. That always seems to lift my spirits and renew my energy. One video in particular that has touched me is the video about the two guys who raised a Lion, Christian. After a year of raising him they released him to the Wild in South Afarica. When they reunited with him after he was in the wild for a while, it was such an emotional union. I have to be honest and say, I cried. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjWtRYaxmWM&feature=related

I also find this video inspirational. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEqdr_Awdak&NR=1

Since beginning this proram, I have somewhat neglected my loved onces. I know, it was not the smart thing to do. People say, sometimes to get ahead we have to make scrafices. But spending time with our loved ones, should not be one of them. The nurturing we get through their love, is part of who we are. Now that I have more time to work on creating more balance in my life, I'm making an effort to connect more with family.

I have given up a lot since beginning this program and clothes shopping was one of them. In some ways it has been a positive scrafice, because I've saved tone of money. It's great to be back and I hope to commit to writing atleast once a week. I want to thank my followers for being patient with me.

I hope you have a great week.
