As I sit here, trying to think of something so deep and profound to blog about...it hits me! K.I.S.S.! I've felt the urge to blog, but I've ruminated and pondered and mused about my next blog topic, for 2 days! I think to myself, "what's the point?,K.I.S.S.!"
Keep
It
Super
Simple, just K.I.S.S. mimi! Gosh!
Making mountains out of valley's or mole hills or tiny rocks or however the little saying goes. Whatever it is, that is how we mere mortal human beings do often times. Just as I did over this simple blog entry!
Sometimes incomplex things can be turned into complex things in our minds. I say, take life as it comes, contemplate, but not too much where it turns into mental and internal chaos, just enough to make the best decision for the given situation. The mind is a powerful tool!
I often times have to tell myself to K.I.S.S...A.S.A.P.! Over simple stuff, it's helpful though!
Always
Say
A
Prayer!
Yes! It is as simple as that! K.I.S.S...A.S.A.P.!
But when saying a prayer, we can't just say it to say it, we have to center ourselves, find our places of peace and mean those meditations! Then, just trust and let go! Easier said than done?
Not if it becomes a daily part of life. I'm not saying that these principles are instantaneous, however, they are realistic and attainable.
So, apply K.I.S.S...A.S.A.P. in all necessary situations on a daily basis...be it, dealing with a co-worker, traffic, self-improvement/reflection, school, friends, family or just maintaining in this thing called life!
"A-SAP, A-SAP, try to play me, Im'a blow 'em off the map [by] ASAP "(always saying a prayer) ~T.I.
(he didn't quite mean it the way i'm saying it, but let's just improvise here...hahahaha!)

free!
Ahhhhh ((sigh of relief))......
the desire to let go and pursue your hearts' desire can provoke some anxiety, but is a wonderful and dreamy type of anxiety(some, well, most times)!
the ability to trust and have the faith to actually do it is relieving & AWESOME!
there is this lady that i have been knowing twenty-something years....
she has endured and overcome many hardships and trials and tribulations.
keywords--ENDURED & OVERCOME!
she was always encouraging and diligent, despite the struggle..
a soilder, if you will!
this woman always had a weight on her shoulder and a feeling in the pit of her heart to let go, step out and be totally free!
she just never had the gumption to do so....until now!
this lady has always been a source of inspiration to me...
she is now free...
and goes by the name of sunnie t!
i admire her and i love her and i wish her much success on her journey to total happiness and freedom!
sunnie t is free...free from the ship!

* bal·ance: [bal-uhns] noun, verb, -anced, -anc·ing.
3. mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behavior, judgment, etc.
7.the power or ability to decide an outcome by throwing one's strength, influence, support, or the like, to one side or the other.
* bound·a·ry: [boun-duh-ree, -dree] –noun, plural -ries.
1. something that indicates bounds or limits; a limiting or bounding line.
2. The border or limit so indicated.
* peace: [pees] noun, interjection, verb, peaced, peac·ing. –noun
3. a state of mutual harmony between people or groups, esp. in personal relations
6.freedom of the mind from annoyance, distraction, anxiety, an obsession, etc.; tranquillity; serenity
Balance, boundaries and peace are three of the things that I strive for on a daily basis. Today is one of those days when I have to execute my pursuit of those to the utmost! It is so important to me to maintain the three, however, it is not always the easiest of my daily chores. Yes! I used the word chore, because on some days it is a chore indeed! Some days it comes easier and feels more natural. I think what works best for me is when I feel like my emotional equilibrium is off, I make every effort to attend to it promptly.
A quote that I attempt to apply daily is: "Control your emotions, don't allow your emotions to control you". That is an awesome affirmation! Emotions, feelings, thoughts, perceptions and affect are very powerful things and can take total dominion over all senses of life, if only for a few minutes. Assessing my character and being self aware is so incessant for me. I know that I can allow emotions to take the steering wheel and zoom off! Therefore, I try to continuously attain and implement healthy and positive coping mechanisms. On those "emotional chore days" I surely don't feel like applying my healthy & positive coping skills, but I do find that when I suck it up and just do the best thing, I end up feeling relieved and satisfied...for the most part.
So much of my life, both professional & personal, is dedicated to making sure that other people are emotionally okay and their needs are met that mine can get lost in the midst,which is overwhelming at times. ...another reason for me to maintain boundaries, balance and peace. If I don't take care of myself spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically, no one will! I am content with this...most of the time, because I am cognizant of the fact that it comes with the territory. Also,I wholeheartedly pray and ask GOD to make me the person that THE DIVINE CREATOR has destined for me to be. Which in turn, makes me confident & hopeful that I am traveling through this journey of life the way that I am supposed to be. I do know that there are some things that I need to improve on, hence my continuous pursuit of peace, boundaries and balance!
