BEFORE THEY DRAIN THE LIFE OUT OF YOU.
Wow, We do have huge capacities to cope with a
lot of things in life but generally its not good for us
to try to cope with everything at once and at
times we have a lot of things coming our way
and we need to learn to negotiate the path that
we are going to take so that we are still running
our life well and not on empty.
ENERGY DRAINS - Those things that totally
exhaust you so that you have nothing left to
give, we need a balance so that we are not
giving out all the time and leaving nothing
left for ourselves or the fun things in life.
FINANCIAL DRAINS - You know those
things that we think we really really want
and you don't even like when you get them
home. Its actually okay to enjoy and be
content with what we have. This winter I
gave myself a challenge, only to buy a
couple of accessories and be creative with
what I already have in my wardrobe, I'm
loving this.
BRAIN DRAINS - I know this may sound
new to some of us, but we are allowed to
rest and relax our minds, to read or watch
mindless funny things. We are even
allowed to learn from our mistakes, haha,
If we're really clever we can learn from
other peoples mistakes as well!
Don't think so much, just learn the lessons!
EMOTIONAL DRAINS - Sometimes we
surround ourselves with right thing at
wrong time, takes chick flicks for example,
I love a good chick flick but if I am already
emotionally stretched, I know I'm not
doing myself any favours by taking
myself too close to the edge, I need to
live in such a way that my reserve tank
is always full.
Don't let life drain out of you.
About Me
WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE!
Welcome to my newly revamped Blog. A lot has happened since I last blogged in June and it seems like such a long time ago.
I am a wife of one husband, and a mother of 5 kids, although they don't seem like kids, they are all taller than me and and range in age from 17 -26, four boy kinds and one girl kind. At times I make a huge effort to understand them and then I get exhausted and practise putting on make-up instead, I feel I get that right sometimes!! If you don't agree, I don't need to know, thanks anyway!
The kid in the picture on the sides, thats me, I felt it necessary to let you see yourself that I had the whole fashion thing happening when I was 8, even knew how to accessorise with the clip in my hair and the peg holding my cape on, was wooden, not some plastic junk!
I have just launched a new business that I am excited about called "THIS IS WHO I AM". So I will pop over every now and then and share something funny, wise, stupid, sad and hopefully inspiring.
I want to hear from you, drop me a line, and for those who have asked me to write about something in particular, I'm getting on to it!
Many times I have been asked to start blogging so I have finally taken the plunge. My blog is going to be about everyday life and sharing the journey with you, hopefully you will be encouraged and I will learn how to do life better.
I have a busy, fun, crazy life but don't know that I would swap it in a hurry for a quiet, boring life, although every now and then would be nice.
I will be adding interesting and funny photos along the way!

Looking forward to the journey.

ReplyDeleteThis line grabbed me...
This is one of those ongoing area's isn't it, marked like a child's school report as "Working towards." Just when you have it figured out, the teacher (our god) throws something in the mix to work towards. :) Lots of wisdom there, thanks Nelsa.
Great Nelsa, they all rang so true, love your blogs x
