An Unhealthy Woman Cannot be A Productive Woman

Women wear many hats: wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and the list goes on. We are always giving of ourselves, thus it’s important that we take better care of our health. Being productive requires a lot of maintenance to the physical body. If we are always on the go, then we must see to it that we’re eating balanced nutritious meals, taking a multi-daily vitamin, replenishing the body with water, getting enough sleep, getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day (Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services), most importantly, being in tune with our bodies. If you don’t feel like your usual self and notice the feeling worsens over time such as, a headache, then it’s time for you to see your doctor, this could be a sign of an underlying medical problem (http://www.prevention.com/health/health-concerns/when-see-doctor-your-headachepage=2). Don’t put it off and tell yourself that you will schedule an appointment during vacation. Your health is more important than any to-do-list.

Even if you do feel healthy, it’s still important that you schedule regular appointments with your doctor.

You can’t be the best version of you if you fail to take care of your health. If the wear and tear on a car needs regular maintenance, what do you think wear and tear on the physical body will do if your health goes untreated?

Every week, strive to meet a healthy goal to leading a more productive life such as, setting a scheduled bed time to ensure you get at least 8 hours of sleep. Each week, add another healthy goal.

Surround Yourself with Angels

Hey ladies, every woman has to have a few mottos or words of wisdom to get her through the week. So just in case you don’t, here’s a few:

Adopt a good attitude – you can approach anything in life by having an optimistic attitude, even when things in your life seem not to go as planned or expected. Embrace the attitude of optimism and ask yourself, “What am I supposed to learn from this experience?”

No negativity or pessimism- avoid negative people, thoughts, or actions like the plague because negativity can be contagious and will keep you from moving forward in life.

Genuine is always key- be your absolute self! Do not allow people to make you put on a mask just so they can, “handle” or “deal with you.” It’s not your fault that they develop a complex every time you’re around. You are not their issue and weren’t created to pacify their personality dilemmas.

Everything worth doing in life, approach it with enthusiasm, even when pursuing an unappealing or unattractive occupation such as a janitor; be the best janitor that you can be and your reputation will precede you.

Love people that society shuns or considers to be outcasts because they need love the most.

Smile even when you don’t feel like it. There is ALWAYS a reason to smile, even on your worst days.

What angels do you surround yourself with?

XOXO,

Jay

A Woman Interrupted

Have you ever had a week where you walked out of the house feeling like you forgot to put on a piece of clothing, later to realize you forgot to put on a bra, then locked your car keys in your car, went into the bank and realized that you locked your purse in the car along with your keys, cell phone, and wallet? I did. This is what I call a woman interrupted – your mind is too busy and occupied with things, other than focusing on what you’re actually doing at the current moment, which therefore can evolve into stress.

Stress is a snare that sneaks upon us like 5 pounds of fat, and then later you’re asking yourself how did I end up in this situation? No matter how much we consider ourselves to be super woman or super mom, we’re not. We’re human. We cry, we hurt, and have emotional, spiritual, and physical needs that need weekly restoration. God did not design us to be robots, so therefore, we need to stop, take a moment, and gas up. Commit at least 30 minutes of your time to devotion, prayer, and meditation with God. Don’t merely pencil God into your schedule, but make him a priority. Stop making excuses that you don’t have time. Remember, God is the creator of time; if you give him the first of your time, then he will ensure that your time is not interrupted with unnecessary problems.

XOXO,

Jay
