It is so important, especially if you have children, that you never quit during times of struggles and hardships. When you quit you give up. When you give up you loose hope. When you loose hope you stop caring. When you stop caring you stop living.
By staying strong and not quitting you are teaching your children how to be strong and independent which is the best gift you can give your child.
To many times during the divorce process people want to keep different items or relics; sometimes it is the house, and other times it is the spouse. At times people will focus on a dish or a painting simply because it reminds them of a time or a place where they were happy.
What you need to remember is that those times and places will never be the same. The people will never be the same. The memories will never be the same. By holding on the the items you are holding on to your past. By holding on to your past you are not allowing yourself the opportunity to see the lessons learned.
Instead of bringing past memories into your future, take this opportunity to create new memories.
Some times a mom takes on the role of both mother and father. Today we celebrate the father’s in our children’s lives and sometimes that person is also known as Mom.
When you are struggling with emotional issues your life can begin to feel out of control. It is a time when you can loose focus of what is important.
When your life begins to feel out of control, take a minute for yourself, change up your routine. If you usually take a hurried shower, allow yourself a long hot bubble bath. If you usually eat your lunch at your desk, go an sit outside to eat your lunch.
Taking a break from your routine doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money; sometime it is as simple as changing the route you drive home.
Take A Break….
You have made it this far in this game we call life. There have been battles that you have won and then there have battles that you have lost. But the bottom line is – you have made it this far. You are strong – stronger than you think.
This week we need to give thanks to those who gave their all, our military men and women.
Be grateful for every second you have with the people you love. Until they are gone you will not realize how precious life really is.
By accepting what is; and letting go of what was; and then having faith in what will be, you are giving yourself the opportunity to have a happy and fulfilling life. By not accepting what has become of your life, you hang on to the past, the anger, the hurt and the disappointment. By not letting go of the past, the anger, the hurt and the disappointment you are bringing it into your present. By not having faith in what will be you bring the past, the anger, the hurt and the disappointment into your future. If you bring your past into your future you will surely make the same mistakes.
Remember your children grow up fast. In the blink of an eye your baby will be an adult with a child of there own. Give them your love and attention NOW!
When you clean out your past, by getting rid of things you no longer need, in your home and life you make time to see your present. When you pack up your present situation you have time to work on your future.
Clean up, Pack up and Prepare….
