All I can say is "Whew" !!!
The last two months have been so hectic for me that I actually needed a small break from the blog just to give myself some time to adjust, realign and refocus, particularly in that order. Life has a way of hitting you over the head and changing your course and you just have to go with it. So I thought I would share a little bit of what was happening with me and maybe it could help you as well....
Lets start with adjust.
I have been making some monumental changes in my life. Changes which were necessary and which were a long time coming. Did you ever see stuff coming? Like you know its going to become a problem but you just sit tight waiting for it to erupt so you can act on it? And you can't really act on it until it erupts...that's the hard part. Its like waiting for the bomb to explode, knowing that your life as you know it is never going to be the same again. But as much as you wait for it and know its going to happen, you cannot adequately prepare yourself for the damage the explosion causes. And that was me. I saw it coming. I prepared myself, and then BOOM!!!! There it was.
I must admit I did have a plan (as I always do) and I stuck to my plan to the very end. I think that is what helped me so much. I didn't have to think much while I was going through all of this, all I had to do was stick to the plan. But adjusting to change is hard. I love my routine. I love having security in my life and knowing that I can count on people and when that changes it does become hard to adjust to not having them there anymore. That what you have become accustomed to is now apart of your history.
The next step for me was realigning my thinking. Once I have adjusted I had to teach myself to think in a certain way, realign my thinking to suit my circumstances. The realignment is necessary because your thinking effects your actions and your reaction to situations and to people. You have to be in a healthy mental state in order to make decisions and trust me when you are faced with adversity and that bomb explodes its one decision after another after another and you feel like you are about to explode....you need your sanity more than you need your charger. The struggle is real.
Finally it was time to refocus. When I got to this stage it was a better place. A calmer place and I was at peace already with what had happened. At this stage it was only for me to reaffirm my goals for my life and set a clear path on how to achieve them and also map a way forward. This was the easiest step of them all, but you also need to be realistic. Don't set yourself up for failure. You need to stay motivated and enthusiastic about life. Nothing can kill your vibe more than setting unrealistic goals then watching yourself fail. You do that to yourself.
So in a nutshell....That is what I have been up to all this time. Well it wasn't all doom and gloom, I also managed to attend some events and put together some incredible outfits as well which I will release during the course of this week. I have so much of things I am going to write about and so many stories to share....So thank you for checking in today I hope that you have a fantastic Monday!!
