New Lesson: Hide My Key to the Storage Facility!

June 25th, 2010

Okay, that’s it.

I’ve had just about all that I can take.

It’s time to get rid of it.

Today, I’m going to go to the self storage center or rent one of those self storage units and put all of this stuff away. It’s getting in my way and on my nerves. I can’t move, I can’t walk around…it’s aggravating. Once I pile everything up into my van, back up and unload all of this stuff at the Hoover storage center, there will be NO looking back, no regrets.

What is it you ask? What is it that is getting on my nerves so? My husband’s “stuff.” More specifically his books from college. Why, why, oh why does someone need to keep a Chemistry book? Or, who spends time reading their Physics textbook from 20 years ago? Really? And by the time our daughter gets to college, she won’t need the same Algebra I book you used in college. No, she won’t. I promise…she won’t. They have different ones now. Really.

My husband has each and every one of his college textbooks from years ago. Not kidding. I put them in a storage unit when we lived in an apartment years ago, but when we moved into our home, he brought them all out again! There are books in the attic, on the bookshelf, under beds, in the garage…they’re everywhere and the aggravating part is that no one is using them!!! He says he just hates to part with them because they mean so much to him. He always goes back to the storage facility and pulls them out. Sentimental or something. Whatever.

They’re going away today, for good. This time when I put them in the self storage facility here, I’m not sharing the key with him. Nope. I’m not doing this again in another 10 years!

Learning the True Meaning of Life

June 18th, 2010

Going to a California business school was something that I always knew I would do when I graduated from high school. When I was young, very young, I had aspirations to get a business degree, travel the country and to see the world!! Oh the dreams that I had. Well, one day reality set in, brought some bills with it, and I saw that it wasn’t as easy as it sounded. At that time, I had a sister who lived in California, had graduated from a Southern California university, so I was going to go and live with her. I had plans to leave the south, become “citified” and see the world. Ha! The dreaming part was fun, until my sister put me to the challenge and told me to come and live with her in California for the summer. I accepted the challenge.

The first couple of weeks, I had a blast living the L.A. lifestyle, cruising the beaches, shopping, eating out and just having fun. When we started to look at the Los Angeles university list, that’s when reality hit home. The colleges in California were good, extremely good, and I saw where I had A LOT of work to do on my grades if I ever had ideas of going to school there.

Well, my big sister (who by the way is a teacher), tried her best to keep from saying, “told you so”, but she did manage to not say it as she gently guided me along the path to getting my grades solid enough to seriously think about coming to California. That time of my life was when I learned that the difference in doing something and thinking something is w-o-r-k-ing towards it to make it happen.

Going to school and getting a degree is very important, one of the most important things you will ever do in life. Having fun is important too! But, the most important thing that I learned that summer was not only to have fun (which I did manage to do!), but to work hard, stay focused and not get distracted. My sister spent a summer helping me see those things and for that, I’m forever grateful. Thanks sis!

Staying Positive When It’s Hard

June 1st, 2010

How can a person stay motivated despite what’s going on around them? I’m a pretty motivated person, but I’ve found it slightly challenging in the last few days to stay positive with so much going on in my personal and professional life. The main thing that is annoying me personally though is the fact that I can’t run! It’s been over six weeks for me, and I still have like five or six more weeks to go. And to top all of that off, I think I either re-fractured or re-injured my toe in some sort of way the other night. It’s puffy and swollen, but not discolored, so I don’t know what’s really going on. I’m due for a doctor’s follow-up visit in a week, so I’ll have a better idea then.

In the meantime, I’ve managed to motivate myself by trying to look at the things that I CAN do versus the things that I CANNOT do. Yes, I can’t run. There, I said it. But I do love spinning, so I’ve decided to take the gym’s spin classes during my recuperation period until the doctor says I CAN run again. That will give me a new (temporary) focus, help me control my weight and strengthen those vital muscles you need when you run. I just hope I can stay motivated until this time period is up. We’ll see how things go. What do you think?

Always Make Changes

May 14th, 2010

Living for Change

That’s the motto I’ve embraced in the last few weeks. I’ve realized how important it is to keep things moving along, especially and more importantly when it’s in a positive direction. Keep your life, your goals, your thinking moving ahead progressively in all facets of your life.

Sometimes, things occur in our lives that are troubling and hurtful. That’s a part of life. It happens and there’s often not a whole lot that we can do about it. Whether we are directly responsible for it or not, whatever has occurred can have an impact on your life. Only YOU have the power to determine just how deep the effect will be. In other words, you cannot play the victim and cry “why me, why me” and not completely understand the situation and your role in it all.  Sometimes you simply have to realize that it is what it is and you have to make a decision to either 1.) make the best of it or 2.) move along.

The Victim?

I’ve had some things happen to me in the last couple of months that have really hurt me and have negatively affected my life. I’m a pretty upbeat, positive girl, so when bad things happen to me, it takes me a bit to get my bearings back. You know the whine…”I treat everybody right. Why does this always happen to me? What did I do wrong?” Yada, Yada, Yada. Even though we may treat folks right, that doesn’t always mean they’re going to treat you right in return.

At the moment of my hurt, I felt very much like a victim. I was completely oblivious to the circumstances of the occurrence that hurt me so bad, but nevertheless, I was affected. I tried to confront the situation, to no avail. I tried to forget about it, again, no luck. I know how it feels to have things happen to you and there is no explainable reason for the “why.” No matter how many times you turn it over and over in your mind, it comes up short and confusing. Has that ever happened to you? That’s when you know it’s time to move on.

Know Your Limits

Being a victim is not always the best role to play. When you are a victim, you ARE a victim, but every situation is not something where someone is “doing” something to you. Not cute. I’m not taking anything away from people who have really been victimized in situations that are true. Although in my situation, I did feel like a victim (actually I was), but I’ve decided to make an alternate decision. My choice today is to not continue to go over and over it in my mind trying to make sense of it. Neither will I continue to replay it and see what it was that I “did” or “said” that could have caused it to happen. It just is.

My decision today is simply to move on. I blogged a couple of weeks ago about a lifestyle purge and that’s where this situation fits in. Many people may say that you shouldn’t allow others to dictate your actions. I agree. But since you can’t change people you have to change yourself. And in this case, I’m making a decision to change myself. I made a conscientious decision years ago to live a peaceful life and to live peaceably among others, so when there’s a peace-less situation going on, I decide to distance myself from it, the circumstance, places and any people involved.

Am I running away?

Am I giving up?

No, I think not. I am simply deciding to live in peace with no drama, stress, pressure or conflict. Trust me, I’m a big girl and can handle my business, but there are some situations that don’t deserve your mental or physical energy. Removing yourself from negativity serves you better than trying to make it all make sense and come together. Who has that kind of time? Life is too short and there are too many moments to enjoy rather than spending them trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. You feel me?

What are your thoughts? Have you ever experienced any hurtful situations where you had the courage and foresight to walk away? Do share!

Lifestyle Detox

April 30th, 2010

Have you ever done a body detox? You know, the one where you drink a mixture of something for a period of time to remove all of the waste, buildup and toxins from your body? I’ve done a few here and there and the process really does work. Every now and then, it’s good to do a full body detox and give your body a refreshed feeling. Sometimes, it’s also good to give your lifestyle a good working over, eliminating bad habits, bad people, bad thinking, ugly ideas…you get the picture.

Tomorrow is the first day of May and I’m glad to say that I will be giving my lifestyle a FULL detox from all of the things that have been building up over the last few weeks and months. I’m eliminating foulness in all areas including thinking, habits and relationships. I feel better already just knowing that I will be approaching my new thinking and new lifestyle with a renewed approach to life. Life is good and it’s about to get better!

Toxic Bad Habits

Bad habits include things like procrastinating, wasting time and always running late! These things are super-stressors and I am going to remove them from my life as they occur. In other words, instead of waiting until the last minute to get something done, I’ll just work on it a little at a time until I reach the end.

I also intend to identify my time-wasters and remove them as well. Do you know how much time you waste chatting on the phone, standing in line or in some cases, watching television? (Disclaimer: watching television IS NOT bad…especially if it’s an episode of 24. Is Jack EVER going to die?) But what I mean by television is watching more than two or three hours of stupid stuff everyday. Do you know how much you could get done in three hours?

My Own Major Detox Areas

As for relationships, a detox in this area is one that we would all do well to perform quite often. Sometimes toxic people slip into our lives, sometimes we let them in. Whatever the case may be, you know when it’s time to let them go. I am performing a MAJOR detox in this area and feel so good about it. For me it’s a renewal of self and analyzing those things that are truly important to me. Relationships don’t always have to be intimate in nature. In other words, I’m not talking about breaking up with your boyfriend or to cut off speaking to your sister. Relationships can include anything where you are dealing with people who cause toxicity. If the barista at your favorite coffee place is rude and obnoxious and doesn’t give you the warm fuzzies when you place your order, then find someplace else to get your caffeine fix. Life is too short to be bothered with nonsense. There are certainly other fine establishments that would be glad to take your java dollars.

At the end of my detox, I hope to come away with a sense of renewal and a new purpose for this phase of my life. Self-renewal is more than just a new face cream, a new hairdo or car. Self-renewal is about changing who you are on the inside and limiting the effects of outside stimulus on your life. YOU control what comes into and what flows out of your life. Don’t give out toxic behavior and don’t allow toxicity to come in. When you feel it, you’ll know it.

What areas of toxic behavior in your life would you like to change? Can you easily identify areas of needed change or are you completely oblivious, wondering why you’re always so depressed and frustrated?

Begin your toxic removal with me today. You will feel so much better!
