Happy new month friends and followers! The first quarter of the year is over, and here we are in the second quarter… the year is growing old!

Today I begin the month with gratitude. This month I will be expressing gratitude on my profile for each and every day of the month.

Today I start with being grateful for the 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞! Often in life we go about life without thinking of the simple things of life like ability to breath, talk and move. We forget to be grateful that we can feed ourselves, swallow without problems and even digest the food. Today am grateful to God for life and everything that comes with it. The ease of doing the normal things of life that others find hard to do!

What are you grateful for today?

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞!

Somebody… pls tell me am not aging!

This was me today covering up my greys that unashamedly pop up on my hair line 🙄🙄
Yes!! And pls don’t tell me that am aging and need to embrace them 😆😆 that I know..🫣 but on a serious note it got me thinking…

What is it about 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 and what to do about both when it comes to healing an emotionally broken heart.

I dye my hair black, not because am in 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 of my age, but because I have 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐝 that that’s my fate for the rest of my life ☺️! And that I can’t deal with greys before am 65 yrs old! 🤣🤣

When you get emotionally broken in a relationship, you go the grieving stages of loss. 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 comes in as the first stage of grief or shock, and that’s because change is hard to deal with. Whether the change has pain involved, betrayal or not. By the time we get to 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 stage, we’ve already dealt with 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫, 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧.

𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 doesn’t mean it’s ok we are not hurting, it doesn’t mean we’re doing well, it means that we’ve decided to look at the situation from a 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 perspective, we’re looking for ways to 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞 with the situation, because that’s how things are and there’s nothing we can do about them. Although it may take time to get to this stage, the better we’re able to cope with tough times, the better we’re able to handle tougher things in life.

We 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 the unpleasant situations in life because without 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, we can’t survive the pain & loss. Eventually the situation is going to swallow us, and we need to overcome the trauma so we can grow, and become stronger..Because, trust me, as long as we keep living, there will be multiple times that our lives will go through similar cycles, and we’ve got to grow and develop a thick skin to survive the obstacles of life.

Let’s have a talk please!

𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞... 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭!

Today am talking to the women who are hurting. Those who are constantly going and going, doing everything the can to not only survive, but maintain sanity.

Am talking to those who have unconsciously neglected themselves as the nurture their families, those who’s lives do not have a balance and are struggling to cope with life and fix the issues surrounding them.

I want to remind them that self-care is not a luxury but a necessary survival skill. Sometimes when we think self-care, we visualize expensive treats like spas, manicures, holidays or trips, shopping sprees and many more things or activities that involve money.

Allow me to reintroduce self-care’ self care is a practice or taking action to preserve one’s own health. Activities that can help with this could involve taking a walk in the park, watching a movie, hanging out with friends, asking for help doing the daily mundane tasks of life, driving around a neighborhood, listening to music, journaling, taking a bath or long shower, applying makeup and many more simple things of life.

Self-care is all about being intentional to putting yourself first, and doing the things you love without feeling the pressure to do the things others expect you to be doing. It means understanding that your mental health will be your only surviving guide to ensure you make the right choices in the stressors of life.

Today I urge you to be a little considerate and maybe selfish and put yourself ahead of others so you can maintain your mental health BECAUSE YOU MATTER!!

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐡!

Thank God our day light has been returned!! No more darkness at
4.30 pm anymore…🙌🏾🙌🏾 Happy Sunday y’all!

As I look through the horizon and see endless possibilities, I am reminded of the many blessings that God has accorded me in my short lived life!

Of the many blessings I could stop to count, I am truly grateful for the friendships that I have in my small circle of friends.

My friends are not so many, but they are quality friends! One day I will put them on social media for others to celebrate them. For now I will talk about them in disguise! They know themselves anyway..😂😂 they are the ones that give me sanity when I have lost myself, when I can’t think clearly they put some sense in my mind.

Oh you few friends of mine, I celebrate you today! God thought about me when He created you!
Happy Sabath, and happy Sunday!

In life confidence can buy you a seat that beauty cannot afford.

Confidence is not always innate, you might need to put in a lot of work to get to a level where you don’t second guess yourself!

Don’t let challenges in life intimidate you, to stop you from achieving your full potential. Instead of embracing fear, work tirelessly to gain your confidence!

🤔 If confidence was a pair of shoes, I would fill my closet with many pairs!

Choose to celebrate the milestones you’ve made in life instead of counting your short comings.

Self-love is being a little tender with your feelings, with your progress and with your current status. Self- criticism is one of the best way to destroy your confidence! Choose to be kind yourself!

If you’ve had your past bruised it doesn’t help to be so critical of your current situation in life!

Let’s have a talk… shall we?

So today I got my tetanus shot after postponing several times. Although I knew the benefits of getting one, just the thought of pain stopped me.. don’t get me wrong am not a big baby, I have endured more pain than a tetanus shot, but my mindset couldn’t allow me get one..

Recently I got on a squat challenge after postponing to join one so many times when I see it. Before the challenge I had been to the doctor because my knees hurt so bad.. X-ray revealed minor arthritis, and the advice was to do more exercise. It was becoming hard for me to do simple things like walk up and down the steps.

After joining the challenge, a lady was looking for an accountability partner, and without giving a second thought, I sent her DM. Elizabeth Olweya Okoth, you are an angel sent from above. The first time I attempted the challenge, I could barely walk after 50 squats😫😫 The pain almost stopped me, but let me tell you Maina… This lady posted her workouts every and challenged me to do the same. Every-time I felt like giving up, she’d post she I’d be like.. ain’t no way am gonna stop the reggae 😂😂, am on week three of the challenge, 100 squats daily, the benefits I have reaped from staying on the challenge are unbelievable! I now walk up and down the steps without strain.. the pain is gone..

I write this to say… most things we give up in life are based on our mindset. If we think it’s hard, we will either postpone it or not attempt! This year 2024, I have made up my mind to do the hard things by swimming against the current! If I don’t succeed, it will not be because of my mindset, it will be because I tried and tried but couldn’t do it!

What’s stopping you from attempting hard stuff in life? What are you putting off and why??

Some people are still paying for mistakes they made many years ago because they chose fear over courage!! Let that sink!🫤
