Be YOU, Be GREAT, Be FABULOUS

How many of you have days where you feel so overwhelmed that you want to go in a closet and hide? Do you over schedule activities to keep up with other moms? Maybe you even try to be just like one of your “mommy friends”. Well I am here to tell you that you are not alone. We live in a world where everyone is focused on everyone else. We can blame it on this crazy world of social media. Or just call it keeping up with the Jones’.

In order to live YOUR life to the fullest, you have to focus on you and not what others think or say about you. I know its easier said than done so let’s tackle some ways that we can be our authentic selves and be proud of it.

1. You are awesome just the way you are.
Think about DNA. There is no one else in the world just like you. You are special, talented and amazing just the way you are.

2. As humans we are always evolving.
If you stay the same over the years, you are not growing and learning this game called life. When you grow, everyone around you may not be growing with you. Therefore, you may have to cut some people loose. Don’t get upset if people don’t understand the “new you”. Be YOU

3. You are not perfect.
This is something that we strive to be but when you really step back and think about it, who do you know that is perfect? We all have our issues and make mistakes but it is the person that accepts that they are imperfect that go further and live their lives authentically.

Be YOU, Be GREAT, Be FABULOUS

Sexually active individuals have higher levels of the immune system’s defenses against germs, viruses, and other invaders. Scientists at Wilkes College in Pennsylvania found that understudies who had intercourse on more than one occasion per week had more elevated levels of the a specific immunizer contrasted with understudies who engaged in sexual relations once in a while. Partaking in sex one to twice every week helps support the protected system, according to explore appropriated in Mental Reports. They found that those who had sex once or twice per week had a 30% increase in IgA, an antibody that shows how strong our immune system is, compared to those who didn’t.

A random act of kindness occurred the other day and I have to share this story with you all. Yesterday a stranger rang our doorbell. At first I freaked out and then I listened (from behind the gate). He began to explain how he was driving down the street and saw cash blowing on the sidewalk. Naturally, he jumped out and begin following the trail of money, which led to a black leather wallet. It ended up being my husband’s wallet. He picked up the wallet and all of the cards that were also blowing in the wind. Not only did he kindly call the bank to cancel the debit cards, but he also drove over to deliver the wallet with the cash back inside. What a great reminder that there are still kind people out there. So continue to be kind and do nice things even when you don’t feel like it. (Yes we gave him a little reward)

Be YOU, Be GREAT
