Happy Wednesday! Today is your mid week check in. I hope you had a great start to your week. With Valentine’s Day being Monday a lot of people hopefully spent the day in high spirits.
Valentine’s Day Friendship Break-Up
Again I hope everyone no matter their status had a great day! I know you will always hear me say that no matter what I will always make it clear that single people should respond to Valentine’s Day as they should. I had an ex friend who had a horrible time adjusting. She broke up the friendship because of it. I got engaged in October and Valentine’s Day she said I was living her life. She told me she wasn’t happy for me. I didn’t deserve to be engaged unless she too was living the experience too. She belittled me and screamed at me.
I attempted to be there to listen to her frustration because I understood what she was feeling. However after she cursed me out in a way I’ve never heard before I attempted to still just listen. It became too much and I informed her that although I understood how she felt I wasn’t going to allow her to keep being disrespectful. So we parted ways. Valentine’s Day can be intense for many. Just take a page from my ex friend’s book and place those feelings in its rightful place. Wanting love or being frustrated when it seems as if everyone is finding it is a real feeling. Taking that out on people who don’t deserve it is another!
The OK Trenton Project
If you haven’t read my review on the OK Trenton Project please do. It’s a great production. A real life story on students who had learned a new skill and had their work taken down because it was deemed to be associated with gang activity. Of course it wasn’t true. People have a way of feeling the way they do based upon racism and lack of understanding. Thanks to Passage Theatre and Bryan Buttler Media Relations for having me.
Wednesday Lesson: Energy Suckers
This week wasn’t too bad. The one lesson the week has shown is with allowing some distance. Have you ever been around people who suck your energy? The people who command too much attention. The moment you’re not around them you flourish. These are the people we need to eliminate from our circle. They come in small forms. People who just seem to never have a solution only problems. I’ve learned over the years to be watchful of these types of people. Sometimes in listening people will reveal who they are. Believe them. Accept it.
Wednesday Wine Down
Did you know that Friday is National Drink Wine day? Don’t worry I’ll remind you! Today as we come into the fullness of the day remember a few things:
- What was meant to take you out didn’t
- You are thriving
- Everything you need is taken care of
- Flourish in your creativity
How many of you do daily affirmations? The list above is a version! It’s speaking over you the beauty of life. The reminder that you are loved. If you’re not used to affirmations, get into the habit of using them. We hear enough negativity daily. It’s not okay to contribute to the negative self talk.
Week Ahead: Wednesday Shake Down
We are in the middle of the week, what worked? It could be meal prepping, working smarter, etc. Whatever worked this week incorporate more of it into your week. The things that seem to weigh you don’t or isn’t working-take that out. We are supposed to get better. Do the things that align with it. If you didn’t make your mark on something you were working on that is okay too. Take a deep breath and adjust yourself or the goals.
Have an amazing rest of your week! Enjoy the fact that it’s Wednesday and we are half way there. Enjoy a great glass of wine if you drink it. If not whatever is your favorite refreshing drink enjoy that too. Remember that at the midpoint we can alter the path to the goal! Have a great day!
