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.

XOXO,

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

A Great Woman

Learning to be a great woman comes with some trial and error or trials and tribulations, which builds character if she faces them with the right attitude.

A great woman is resourceful and learns to make do with what she has and just because she is blessed with more than enough, does not mean she will use up all her resources because she has it. She has learned from past errors that there are going to be rainy days, so she will store enough of her earnings or resources when that day comes. She will not be left out in the cold.

A great woman has learned to be content with her circumstances, rather good or bad, she chooses to see the silver lining amongst the dark clouds and ask herself, “What can be learned from this situation?”

A great woman is thankful for what she has and isn’t always complaining about what she doesn’t have. She knows that things could be worse.

What type of woman are you aspiring to be?

XOXO,

Jay

What Have You Done Lately?

If you are living, then you should be growing mentally, spiritually, and physically. You should be able to notice a change in your life this same time last year - a change for the better.  Patience should be a virtue, your thoughts should be more progressive, and your actions should be more productive. You should be on the path to reaching your goals or about to accomplish a goal. Don't let another sedentary year go by. Life is too short to just be existing. Start the year off creating your own timeline with a list of things you want to accomplish. This list could pertain to family goals, career goals, or even weight loss.

XOXO,

Jay

Be Aware of the Woman who is Unhappy with Herself

Take heed to the following, she may possess some of these traits:

·         Yes, some women have bad days, but the unhappy woman ALWAYS has a happy face that is turned upside down.

·         She is always on notice when another attractive woman steps into the room because she gives her the, “stank face” – nose turned up and looks the woman up and down.

·         Every time your phone rings, she NEVER has anything good to say and by the time you get off the phone with her, you feel down and don’t even have a reason why.

·         She feels like she’s always in competition with another woman (whom she secretly admires), so she is always trying to find a way to bring her down or one-up her.

·         She cannot stand to be by herself: she doesn’t like living alone and is uncomfortable going to places solo.

·         She is only happy (pretending) when her external surroundings are on the up-and-up.

·         She doesn’t like to see other women happy.

If you recognized any of the previous traits in any of your peers, you should start distancing yourself from her immediately because the, “Unhappy Woman” has detrimental side effects  that can rub off and lead to you always being in a bad mood when you’re around her, partaking in degrading other women, always complaining, and gossiping. Where ever this woman goes, drama follows her.

Now if any of those traits sound like you, then clearly, you don’t like yourself, so you need to ask yourself, “What is it that I dislike about myself?”

XOXO,

Jay
