Making an Impact

Have you ever thought to yourself what do you mean ? Or have you questioned how others see you? or maybe even what difference you make? I have and I know how it can feel sometimes when you feel like you mean nothing or don’t make a difference. The thing is , each one of us makes up the importance of human existence. You mean just as much as the next person. It doesn’t matter how you dress, where you went to school, what degree you have or the color of your skin . You’re more important than you know , as mentioned before. Understand too, that if you wonder about these things, doesn’t make you look weak or mean that you necessarily care too much what others think(I hear this so often) . You could simply just be curious and in deep thought. This blog isn’t to tell you how to make yourself important or to make you feel special either. Its about getting you to know something that was already existing. So reassure yourself how important you are. Reassure yourself that you make a difference and your place matters. Its easy to feel unimportant too especially when you’re not involved in anything major . We get so caught up in our everyday work lives that we never have time to do what makes us who we are. Make time for that . Make it so that you do things that are exuding self-assurance. If you really would like to find out what impact you have, ask people close to you a few brainstorming questions. Ask them what good qualities you have and how you make an impact in their lives. This could be helpful and a good validation since the opinion is from someone you value. You could also write down a few  strengths and think about how you apply those within your daily life. Also, doing sweet gestures for people has a way of making you feel really good and helpful in someone’s life. That for me works every single time. If I’m feeling down and I want to feel like I’m making a difference, I just go do a good deed for someone. It’s a natural feel good .And I mean if that doesn’t work for you then that’s okay too. There are sooo many ways to feel like you make a difference. Those are just a few that work for me. Bottom line, do things that’ll allow you to see a cause and effect type of situation unfold.  That’ll help you visualize what exact impact you make.

Show yourself Love and Appreciation

Self love is something that everyone expects everyone to come equipped with but its not always that easy. It can be and it’s something to think about and something to consider exploring a little bit more than you probably already have. Love yourself because you deserve it, not just because someone is telling you to. There are plenty of ways you can show love to yourself. One of the most common ways is pampering yourself. Take some time and plan something to do whether it’s by yourself or someone else; just make sure it makes you happy. Take yourself out on a nice dinner date; something that allows you to feel good inside. Something that you can appreciate. A nice bubble bath with candles and good music can also be a good idea. The list can go on forever. Self love can even be as easy as standing up for yourself and letting nobody run over you. Learning to set boundaries to protect your energy. I know it sounds so cliché to say but , you cant take care of things if you’re not taking care of yourself. So , Love you . Spoil you. Pamper you. Of course, those are simple gestures but that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to showing yourself some love. When it comes to self love, understand you have to love all of you. You have to accept the flaws that make you the unique individual you’ve come to know. Its a never ending job, you’re always learning about yourself. Practice Self compassion, so that you’re able to show compassion to yourself . Sometimes we’re too hard on ourselves and that isn’t self love. Don’t be afraid to dig deep when it comes to this topic either. Take a moment to figure out what exactly self love means to you. Think about some go to things you can do whenever you need some love. Once you understand how you are and what self love means to you, your future self will appreciate it. Having self love ultimately builds confidence within yourself. You learn to love the journey in learning to love yourself and get to see yourself grow. Everyday isn’t going to be easy but everyday is going to be worth it. So show yourself some love before you show it to anybody else.

Id love to hear feedback and ways that you go about showing yourself some love. Comment some ideas or tips that others can show self love.

Pushing For Success

  I’m excited to start posting again. It’s been quite some time for me.I never intended to go astray from what I originally started. I needed to regain focus and consistency though. I’m hoping that everyone’s new year turned out pretty good. Mine was a very shaky one but nonetheless I feel like I’ve got a new start. One of my biggest lessons I have acquired though is learning to fall hard but get up quietly. Sometimes were worried about how it looks on the outside when we fall short of our expectations, but the most important part about it all, is that you get back up. I spent so much of my time trying to explain my short comings and worrying about how to bounce back. All the while I hadn’t noticed I just had to dust myself off and try again. When you fall and failure comes about, its important that you keep motivating yourself. I don’t like failure and I’m gonna assume that you don’t either. So what are ways we can act accordingly? For starters, you have to always be your biggest fan. If you’re not encouraging yourself to get back up, how can you expect others to? You have to always be that positive voice that disciplines yourself , even if you get lazy or get discouraged. Be realistic with yourself though and understand that failure is going to happen no matter what.

    

 

 

Keep pushing !!!

Failure gives you another opportunity to try again. It sharpens your skills, a sort of lets see what you got, type of thing. You cant really dwell on your failure or mistakes though. You have to learn to accept each and every one. If you do dwell on them , it’ll make you doubt yourself even more and that’ll just drain you of your energy. Brush it off and keep pushing forward. Focus on what’s ahead and on a possible solution. Train yourself to always be quick on your feet, just in case things don’t go as planned the first time. Trying is very vital when it comes to success. It’s going to be rough. That’s why you need to keep at it. Be consistent. You must always remember that everything during the process goes hand and hand. You cant have Success without failure.
