S.S That’s a Thought: Well…What Can I Say

This month coming to an end, not to mention it's my Birthday season, Cancer Zodiac season, apart from Christmas and my son’s birthday, warming up to my birthday is my favourite time of the year.

June

June is nearly coming to an end, and can you believe it has already been half a year, a year and a half lets say we have been experiencing all the changes during this pandemic.

I’m sure like me you, there has been getting back into daily routine, probably like me your trying to reach that summer body goal! Trying the best I can but I haven’t made any promises. All I can say is I think it’s good to remain thankful and happy you have survived what you survived this year.

I noticed this month compared to other months, I have been better at managing my off days as well as trying to stay focused on what matters to me.

Trust me, I have had some rough days and weeks, but I have managed them better than I have from the start of the year, which is a great improvement. when you notice the personal growth in yourself it’s something to celebrate.

FOCUS

So one I am here to talk about staying in Focus, just focus on what matters to you, no matter how bad those storms look ahead of you. trust me we all go through it, I got to stay focused.

Even throughout this year, there are still goals, my own personal list that I want to accomplish. some of my personal goals I have accomplished, and some goals I still thankful I have half the year to get there.

Life can be a juggle at times especially when we can lose track of what's important to us. I notice this month that my days were feeling better, despite the trials because I have been trying to wake up every day by finding something to focus on.

I practiced being focused on something that will keep me going, help me to stay lifted and motivated.

For example, I worked on changing my workout routine so that I can stay motivated in working on my body and try something new. Checking my weight goals, daily goals can be much better to pass through as well as weekly goals or monthly goals.

There’s a lot we can focus on, there’s a lot we can make changes to. let's be thankful we are blessed to wake up in the morning to get up and try again.

Faith

Faith is a massive part of who I am, what I feel I am learning something different each month, sometimes weekly, I feel I am growing and learning spiritually and deeply with my faith and being honest with myself.

As I get older I realize how important it is for me to hold on to my faith, especially during these circumstances, I find myself praying and being in my quiet places, asking questions I may have never asked myself before, praying about things thought I had gotten over.

During this crazy pandemic, and still, some things going on, there has been a test with my faith. as well as questions and receiving answers I probably wouldn’t have been prepared to receive in my past.

When will lockdown be over for good? why are young people dying? why do young children and people keep going missing? when will I be able to travel again? what does my future bring? what about my child’s future?

A lot of questions I know but we shouldn't be ashamed to ask or seek some wisdom in our quiet place. you don’t have to be religious to have faith in yourself, to have faith in something higher than you.

I know it has been a rocky road, some months have been better, some days have been challenging, but my faith has kept me going.

For me personally, I have faith in God, I have faith there will be brighter days, and this year especially I am finally learning to have faith in myself, and growing to have confidence.

I feel finding faith in myself, I end up finding the God in me, I feel carrying the hope that everything will turn out for the better, and giving my situations, worries, anxiety, fears to God does help me sleep better at night.

Faith carries me, keep me going, I guess what I am trying to say is, I encourage you to have faith, I’m not saying you have to be religious not at all, I’m not saying you have to believe what I believe.

I am just encouraging that you have faith, have hope that things will get better for you. you should always have faith and believe in yourself, have the courage to step outside the box.

Even with the world being the way it is, chaos now and then, you can still carry the faith.
