How do you start your day? Are you aware of your thoughts when you first wake up? Are you mindful to the types of thoughts you have when you first open your eyes?
For me, this was something I used to never pay attention to. I was never mindful at the types of thoughts that ran through my head when I first woke up. My thoughts were just an automated response (mostly consisting of not wanting to wake up). I was on autopilot basically. Below are three ways I start my day by honoring my mind, lifestyle, and body...

Dating 101...
Now I know my last two posts have been related to dating, and yes, it is because I am single and during my free time, I like to date. Not as much as before, but still a part of my life. I make time to date because to me it's an important part of my social life. I need a social life so that I don't get so consumed in my mommy or work life. The advice I am about to give you now is just that, advice. Not something you absolutely have to heed but just take into consideration. What may work for me may not work for you. Let me just go off on a tangent really quick... Sounds easy enough, right? Well, for most of us, myself included, it has been hard for me to just "go with the flow". Here's what I have learned recently as far as going with the flow in dating...
I recently met someone a little over a month ago who I flew out to see in Denver. His job requires him to travel to different states and countries. Previously, we went out on an initial date and as disastrous as it was (long story short- the restaurant that I picked was closed on a Sunday, and I was an hour late), we ended up having a great time. It was totally unexpected. Honestly, I didn't even want to go on this date in the first place and tried calling him to cancel but he was already on his way. And since he travels for work, he was getting dropped off by a taxi, none the less. So I definitely couldn't cancel on him. Fast forward to our adventures in Denver...we both flew out there on Thursday and this would be our second time meeting. It was exciting. All I remember is just like our first date, I didn't put much thought into it and just went with the flow of things. He invited, I obliged. I bought my ticket and that was that. Again, I didn't put much thought into it and just went with whatever I felt was right at that moment. It wasn't until I was at the airport, where I had a brief moment thinking, "Wow, I'm actually flying out to see a man I just met a month ago." I didn't question whether it would be fun or not because I wouldn't know until I got there. So why waste energy on something so unknown? |
A little about me...I'm learning how to look at everything with love, even if it seems impossible, like rush hour traffic. I want to share my journey of self-love so that others may want to emulate and pass it on into the universe. Ohh...and sometimes people call me Suzie. Archives
