Am I giving 100% or...



Am I at 100% or...

A question came to mind recently. If I were to give myself a percentage rating, what would I give? In other words, what level am I working at? Am I giving only 20% of myself? Am I giving 50? Or would some days I say I gave a 100% while others I only gave 10? The reason I ask this is because I believe that people operate far below their capability. I see people giving 20% and wondering why life isn't going that well, or think it's boring. Then on the other hand, I see people giving 110% and burning out. It's a balance. It's great to have days to relax, and have down time, but some people are just getting through the day so they can have down time. There's not much to do, or much to look forward to. If you were to rate your life, what percentage would you give yourself overall? Have you checked out in any specific area? Would you say there are some areas you only give 10, but others you give 90? I want you to think about this as you go about your day. Where are you cutting yourself short? Where, possibly, do you need to cut back? Below are a list of areas to consider:

Health and nutrition
Significant other
Children
Religion/Spirituality
Home
Job
Career (I call this out separately in case you have a desire for more than your job)
Fitness
Family/friends
Mental and emotional health

Red Flags

Image
It's been on my mind lately to talk about red flags.  We all know about them, we've all heard of them, but do we really know what they are?  Some of us, without a doubt, can see one, and know for certain they've hit a red flag.  And for some, it's a dead stop in a relationship or situation.  While others, will recognize it as a red flag, but proceed forward anyway.  Still others, will not even know they've come across a red flag.  Now, red flags can be deceiving, and what one might think is, another would not.  I thought it would be helpful to call some out here, and some what I'll call "pink" flags which means not necessarily a "terrible" sign, but something to be cautious about. Red Flags: Does not ever see any person from their family Does not pay child support for their kids Pushes, hits, kicks or in any way physically abuses you Goes for several days without contacting you back, without reason You catch him/her in a flat out lie

A Letter to Narcissists

Image
Dear Narcissists, I'm writing this letter, to give you a little insight into your life and relationships. What makes me the authority on narcissism? I'm not, but like many others I have had a lot of interactions with narcissists over the years. It began as a confusion on my part. A, not knowing my own worth, and allowing myself to be victimized by narcissists. It then turned into a little bit of knowledge about what a narcissist is, and then it turned into more knowledge about the disorder. At first I was angry about it. I hated it. But the more I learn, the more I feel sorry for narcissists. If you're finding that all of your relationships aren't working out, that nobody can seem to get along with you, people leave you all your life, and they blame you. If you feel like you are unlovable, and you are afraid of being left-and then, that's exactly what happens-you might have some narcissistic tendencies. Sometimes when people t

5 Things You MUST DO to Stay on Your Diet and Exercise

Image
Recently, I have gotten back on the wagon of health. I have spent a lot of my life highly addicted to sugar, and in the not so distant past, found myself 20 lbs overweight. I had never felt so tired, and so sluggish in my life. Currently, I am working out at least 5 days/week, and am eating a much healthier diet. I know what they say about diets: it can't just be a diet, it has to be a lifestyle change. That's absolutely true. Diets come and go, but changing the way you think, changing the way you accomplish your goals, is what is truly going to change your life forever. Below, I wrote about the 5 things you must have to stick to your diet and exercise: Have a big enough why This is really important. Your why, is the underlying reason you are doing any of this in the first place. Do you want to look and feel better? Do you want to be able to wear your favorite dress again, or have more energy? You have to have a reason WHY you're doing it all (in any sit
