Hi blog family!
I mentioned before that your habits are only as good as your tolerance for pain. Some of us learn by our pain levels.
When you were a kid you did not touch the stove because you knew you would get burned, (because at some point you put your hand next to it and found out it was HOT)...
now think of this example for everything you want to change in your life.
Bad relationship,
overeating,
no career/job
bad friends
no friends
.. If you find out what level of pain you are willing to live with, you will find your motivator!
Now the exception is: some people may actually have mental disorders that require medications...(if you think you will hurt yourself, someone else or just stop enjoying life..you may need therapy and they will decide if you need more.
I am NOT talking about this type of person!
I am talking about those that may have grew up in a group home or a home with NO structure, deadlines,
boundries....
so you may not eat, eat too much- even when the doctor is telling you its killing you, may not excersize, you may do things, you know will make your mental and physical health bad....(smoking)
YOU DO THIS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT SET A LEVEL OF PAIN THAT WOULD STOP YOU WHEN IT HURTS SO BAD!!!!
I want you to think of your most painful moment, remember it, use this memory to motivate you NOT to do the same thing you did before!! Set up a plan to get out of debt, don't get more credit cards!
let go of your abusive partner, don't marry them and have kids!! (this is harder than it seems but you can go to places like my sisters place and other woman's safe haven from abuse)
if you are overweight and the doctor says your diabetes is because of it, SET up a workout plan, walk 5 miles a day..it cost NO money, its free to walk...get rid of your bread, pasta and rice.... only good carbs!! If your children are acting "bad" - learn how to discipline them with love and it will not be easy if your use to spanking and yelling BUT it can be done...(you can train your toddlers to do a new behavior within months IF you stick to the pattern!! have them sit in the chair or go to their room, no tv, no facebook...you know, age appropriate...
THe point: life will not change and get better, until YOU take it by the horns and steer it where you want it to go!!! Nothing worthwhile is easy. This is YOUR life and it was meant to be lived with happiness, joy and sharing and caring, not pain...If you experience pain in a lesson, its good, if it motivates you to do better, help others and live life to the fullest!!
Use pain to motivate yourself not keep you down.. Even when someone close dies, start a scholorship fund in their name, help a kid that needs a big brother/sister..LET YOUR PAIN HELP YOU!! xo
smile, someone is watching you!!! you may save or change a life!!
This is a place where you can come for advice or a kind word. If you are in a group home, Foster care or had no family due to any circumstance, There are many things you may not have learned. I hope to motivate change in your life! If you have no family to inspire you on bad days, you may find something here to show you how to get out of your bubble and "take back your life! * These words are my opinions only and based on my 16 years in foster care!
