On Vacation



By the time you are reading this, it will be the first day of my vacation.   I'm hoping to leave work a little bit early, and get on the road.  I am hoping to pretty much escape reality for a while.

You see, I desperately need a mental break!  I haven't been out of town in over two years, due to money, and my job constraints at my old place of employment.  This is going to be my time to recharge my batteries.   I will not have a set schedule that I have to stick to.  I don't have any plans that are set in stone.  I don't have to set an alarm to wake up at a certain time.  I will be away from stress for a few days!  Basically, all I want to do is relax! I am needing to get away from the feeling of "having to do something,", so I will be taking a break from the blog until the middle of next week, when I am back at home.

The weather report says that I will have constant rain for most of the trip.  At first, this bothered me, but I am so looking forward to getting away, that it doesn't matter.  If I want to do something, and it's raining, I can play in the rain!  I loved doing that, when I was a child. It might be fun!

I am hoping for a day of sunshine so that I can go to an amusement park, ride rollercoasters (I'm an addict), and act like a kid.  Hopefully, I'm not too old anymore!  If that is all that I get to do, then, I will still be happy.  If the weather cooperates for a part of another day, I may get some walking, and hiking in.

When I come home in a few days, I will feel relaxed and renewed.  I have been needing this break for a very long time, and plan to take advantage of this time to relax.

We all need some time to ourselves, to recharge our batteries.  If you are in need of a break, but unable to go on vacation, try to find a day for yourself, to do the things that you want to do, to help you relax and renew!  (I would never tell if you played hook, and called in sick to work!  After all, that's a mental health day!) Have a wonderful weekend!
 

Always remember – YOU ARE AMAZING!  Go out and make it a great day!

Decisions! Decisions!

 Every day, all of us have to make decisions - what to wear, where to go, what to do, what to eat, and probably many more decisions.  More often than not, I struggle with decisions.  Some days I go through 2-3 outfits before I make a decision.  I'm often involved in the conversation of "Where do you want to go?" "I don't know, where do you want to go?" I am an "over-thinker," and sometimes, I think that makes it even more difficult to make the decision.  There are times that I wish someone else would just make decisions for me! I just got back from vacation, and I had a very difficult time making decisions - food decisions.  A few years ago, my boyfriend and I went on vacation, and we were both on diets.  We went to this famous restaurant, and didn't want to cheat, so we didn't eat anything that we "shouldn't" eat.  That was over four years ago, and we still talk about how we will never do that again.  It bothere...

Celebrate Your Wins

Celebrations are so much fun!  There are not enough celebrations in our lives!  Only we can change this! We each have big goals that will take a while to accomplish.  What we need to think about, is that we accomplish smaller goals every day, that lead us to accomplishing our main goal.  Did you eat better today?  Did you drink more water?  Did you take more steps?  Did you weigh in, and the number on the scale go down?  Did you fit into a smaller size in clothes?  Did you feel good today?  Did you like the person that you saw in the mirror?  Were you proud of yourself today? Those are only a few examples of ways that we win each day!  Celebrate your wins!  Be proud!  Post them for others to see!  Congratulate others on their wins!  Celebrating these wins will make our goals seem attainable!  Celebrating with others has a positive impact, for them, but also, for yourself! Take time to ce...

I'm Just Not Feeling It Today

I'm just not feeling it today.  The alarm clock goes off, and you don't want to get up.  You force yourself to get out of bed, but you just want to crawl back in.  You see yourself in the mirror, bed-head and all, and you think to yourself that it just takes way too much effort to get in the shower, to get dressed, to brush your hair, etc.  You decide it all can wait.  You make your way to the couch, and turn on the TV.   In the back of your mind, you may be thinking that you need to get up and exercise.  Maybe you need to do laundry, or go to the store.  You quickly push those thoughts aside.  The next thing you know, you have binge-watched 5 hours of Netflix, maybe even mindlessly eating.  You are suffering from a serious lack of motivation. Have this ever been you?  I'm guilty.  I've had days like this where my fitness tracker didn't track over 500 steps for the whole da...
