It's Okay to Take a Break!

 Don't Forget to Breathe!

    We all have busy schedules, work, kids, family, friends, hobbies, and whatever else you want to add to this list. The one thing that we sometimes forget to do is take a break and rest our mind. I'm writing this blog to remind you that it's okay to take a day and sit in your house reading books, playing video games, or watching your favorite show. Rest is essential to having a healthy mindset especially if you have a busy schedule. When we forget to give ourselves a mental health day we start to fatigue a lot easier and the simple tasks become a lot harder to accomplish. If you feel this sounds like you then I recommend you take a step back and R E L A X (famous Aaron Rodgers quote.)

My Mental Health Days!

    My mental health days usually begin with a very long and very hot shower. After I get all cleaned up and dressed for the day I make a pot of coffee and read a little bit of a book, I love reading personal development books to help strengthen my mindset and it usually puts me in a great mood to start the day. After my morning coffee and a quick reading session I love watching a show on the couch with my golden doodle Gatsby. Gatsby is the type of dog that loves all of the attention, but what dog doesn't. He will throw his entire body on my chest suffocating me and blocking my view from any t.v. show that I wanted to watch, which is The Boys on amazon prime at the moment (great show I highly recommend it by the way, fair warning though it is very gory). Finally I love to play video games before I go to bed on my mental health days, I usually play Madden and Warzone, but I'm currently waiting for MW2 to be released in November. These mental health days give my brain a chance to reset and come back the next day more energized than ever!

Poem (cause I forgot to post on Sunday)

Success

All dreams will start small.

Some will fail and some will fall.

There is a key to success.

No, It's not to be better than the rest.

You have to be better today.

Than you were yesteday.

The competition is with yourself.

Not with anyone else.

Don't listen to outside noise.

Stay calm, keep your poise.

Some will tell you, you will fail.

Let them talk and continue to sail.

Chase those dreams.

Only you can change your theme.

Doubts will come.

Remind yourself you are not among the some.

You are different.

Leave them with your imprint.

Tell everyone your story.

Let them see your glory.

Teach people how you made it out.

Let the keyboards build your clout.

Success is not about things.
