This past year has been pretty crazy. I finally took a huge leap and quit my stable job to start my own business. I've always wanted to have my own aesthetics business. I wanted to be able to give affordable custom facials to people who want to better their skin. It's unfair how expensive it can be to just better your skin!! I find that unfortunate. So I decided the only way to give people affordable facials was to do it myself! I also don't like using products with a bunch of crap in it. So now all I focus on is all-natural skin care products. I finally took the leap and now the ball is in my court. Great right? Yes. But I also have realized that doing what you love and taking a leap of faith also comes with random anxiety, staying up all night stressing out, constantly worrying about money, and feeling guilty when I have free time.
I try to give myself about 1-2 minutes of, "Oh my God!! What the heck did I do??" And then I move on and realize this is what was meant to be and everything will work out. I'm so, so happy doing what I do. Yes, it's scary and yes, my income is very uncertain. But, for the first time I'm doing what I love and really diving into bettering myself and my life. I'm sacrificing shopping, spending frivolously, and even simple luxuries like going out to dinner. But, As much as I worry and stress out from time to time, I would never go back to the stable job I had before. I will write more about that situation later but right now I want to write about some wonderful affirmations that would randomly pop up during my vacation. These nice little instances reminded me that everything is going to be ok.
I was lucky enough to go on a little family vacation with my parents and my brother and sister-in-law. We went down to Florida and it was a wonderful time.
This is one of my favorite quotes ever. I truly believe it too. I don't cry often but every once in a while, it helps. But working out always helps me and everyone deserves to stare off into the ocean and hear the waves crashing.
Like I said before, I'm going to get into my process of following my dreams later. But there was a moment a few weeks ago where I was so stressed about the uncertainty of my life that I couldn't put my mind to rest that couldn't sleep. I lost so much sleep and stressed so much my eye was twitching!! I'm not one to freak out and stress over something if I can't control it. But this just started to take over. I knew I needed help so I went to my favorite tea place across from my office and asked her for help. (I will also write about this little gem as well!!) she suggested I meditate and really focus on water. Water is my element that I chose to live my life and choose to deal with situations. I am a Leo so water is an odd combo, but whatever. I was instructed to take a tincture blend to help calm my nerves, meditate and really become one with water. I had hung out at a few lakes but I knew the beach would really help me connect. Little did I know that I would learn so much more.
I really followed my instructions of becoming one with the water. I used to be fearless in the water. Then I stepped on a sea urchin and then a few years later got stung by a jellyfish. I kinda lost that uninhibited spirit after that. But after instructions to become one with the water, I was up for it again! My sister-in-law and I jumped right into the water. The crashing waves really wake you up and make you feel alive. You crack up and scream like a little kid. It was really, really nice to just have fun and enjoy the water. It was a nice therapy.
While shopping on vacation we went into Ron Jon Surf Shop. We went in there almost every day, I mean we're practically surfers now...haha. While shopping me and my sister-in-law ran upon the cutest brand of accessories. They had the sweetest quotes and were just adorable!
I don't know what this brand is, but I'm going to find out and buy some of their stuff!
As simple as it is, shopping was fun (as always) and it was a nice breath of fresh air and a wonderful reminder to just relax and everything will work out.
It was really neat to see where inspiration will hit you if you're open to it.
I hope this blog made sense! There's just a lot going on and I want to write about it but I was feeling very inspired after the last week. I wanted to share these inspirations with y'all!
