Forget Beauty Tips...Take a Break.

Ladies, ladies, ladies...

This rockstar is putting her feet up today. 

I am going to admit something here, we can keep it just between us if you don't mind.  Those of you who really know me will not find this surprising, in fact I will hear a collective "Well, DUH!" in the ether after I have made the following announcement.

I have a slight case of ADD.

I am a do-er.  A brainstormer.  My mind never completely turns off...there is always a scheme, a song, a project, a conversation, SOMETHING going on in my head at all times.  It makes it hard to sleep at night (forget napping!), and lately I have been filled with anxiety and nervous energy which makes my stomach hurt too.  So, what I am going to do is...SETTLE DOWN a little bit.  There are so many things I looking to achieve in this lifetime, but once I achieve them I never really sit back and savor my accomplishments.

So, let's do that.  This is my message...

Sit down and savor.  Look at all the things you have manifested in your life.  Look at your children, your home, your car, your closet, your refrigerator...whatever.  Take a moment and drink that in.  If it disappeared tomorrow you would miss it right?  So, put those things you take for granted into perspective.  You worked hard to put these things in your life, to surround yourself with the things that you love.  So, LOVE them.  Put the craziness aside for 5 minutes and be grateful.

Well, DUH!

Rockstar Beauty Tip #12 ~ Enjoy Watching Your Life Unfold

Admittedly, I am "Instant Gratification Girl".  I want what I want when I want it.  Do I get that?  Rarely.  Imagine my disappointment.

The lesson I am here to learn (I have decided) is to enjoy the process, instead of anticipating the results of whatever it is I am persuing.  Looking back on my life I realized the relationships and experiences I totally screwed up because I wasn't getting the RESULT I was looking for.  In retrospect I realize that I could've had more appreciation for those things instead of telling myself they were not important.

I don't want to look back in regret anymore.  I want to enjoy building.  Because, in truth, the building is the fun part!  Once you've built it, you are done...on to the next project, am I right?  Instant gratification isn't all what its cracked up to be, in fact how boring would life be if we always got what we wanted INSTANTLY?  I am actually convinced that is why we are here.  To enjoy the building part.

Think about it...
