10 RANDOM THOUGHTS/PIECES OF ADVICE
Ever have those days where you just start dozing off in random thoughts and before you realize it you’re staring at nothing and still thinking to yourself?? What runs through your head? I never realized until recently when I would write them down how much I think of the same thoughts then. It’s weird to me that subconsciously we can think that many times of the same things over and over. Then when I started reading them out loud to myself and really rehearing them it was very deep on some.
1. AT THIS EXACT MOMENT THIS WILL THE YOUNGEST YOU’LL EVER BE AGAIN AS WELL AS IT COULD BE THE OLDEST.
Ahhh yes I know the very first thing that popped into your head.. WTF. But just step back and think about it. You’re obviously not getting any younger, and unfortunately tomorrow is never promised. So, when people say live life, always remember LIVE LIFE!
2. ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SAYINGS, “WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU DID SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME?”
We all get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that we sometimes forget to step outside our routines and live again. As I sit here typing this I am still thinking back to when it was. Then I thought shoot that felt like 2 weeks ago but it was actually months ago. Time moves so quickly and we need to slow down and enjoy it.
3. LIVE IN THE MOMENT, TAKE IN LIFE.
Take it all in, every trip you go on, every place you go see, PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN. Take in the scenery, take in the breath-taking views, the culture, the people (locals and travelers), enjoy the NOW. You will NEVER get to relive that EXACT moment again.
4. LEARN AT LEAST ONE NEW THING EVERY DAY.
Continue to educate yourself, don’t let your mind go stagnant. Challenge yourself, they always say life starts outside your comfort zone. GO THERE! Wake up every day wanting to be the best version of you.
5. IT’S ALWAYS EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
It’s always so much easier to tell people what to do then to actually do them yourself, especially in self-help areas of life. However, when you challenge yourself every day to be the best version on you, then others will see that, they will see your worth, confidence, ability to have self-strength. Your character will grow and show your great strength.
6. BEING OK WITH BEING ALONE DOESN’T MAKE YOU A LONER.
When you’re comfortable with being alone, you truly know yourself. Then you can go find “the one.” This way you know that you’re just not out there filling a void of loneliness but you’re actually getting what you need.
7. MAKE YOUR NEXT STEP YOUR BEST STEP.
You’re always one step, one person, one moment, one word, one breath away from a whole new life. Make it your best one. Never settle for just because always strive for greatness.
8. STEP BACK: WATCH & LISTEN.
So many people want to just argue to argue or pipe in just to be heard. But they fail to realize that 1 conversation could fix so much if they just listened and started being honest with themselves. Removing the person from the action and just focus on the action itself, or taking the person away from the words and if they are hurtful know it’s not acceptable. Everyone’s true colors will come out eventually it’s just a matter of watching for the signs, and determining if it’s worth keeping around.
9. EVERY LEVEL/PERSON IN YOUR LIFE REQUIRES A DIFFERENT VERSION OF YOU.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. It’s so true. You’re like an onion with lots of layers to peel back. Different versions of you give you depth give you character, they don’t change who you are as a person, they don’t change your morals, its shows you have depth, character, adaptability, and willingness to mold to help others.
10. ONE AREA IN LIFE TO REFUSE TO “SETTLE” IN ITS LOVE.
Don’t just settle because everyone else your age does, don’t settle and do it for the IG, don’t settle because that’s what you suppose to do…. WHEN you find that person, make sure they give you the whole zoo, not just butterflies, make sure they make your smile brighter, your laughter louder, and make sure you’re not an option. I cringe when I see others make excuses for their “significant” others, oh he’s super busy to text me back or he will call when he has time… YOU SHOULD NEVER BE AN OPTION, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TO BUSY.
Until next time –
xoxo
