Times are scary.

Please all stay safe & take all precautions you can.

We all need to be extra patient, kind, caring & protective

of each other.

Banding together when times are stressful, is what helps the human spirit to rise above it all & keep things together.

Share kind thoughts caring words be gentle and patient with those around you.

Its simple and helps so much.

Sending thoughts & prayers to all & to our world

Well, I could not have said it better myself! I am sure there are many of you out there that feel the same way or have dealt with the same situation. Living with a narcissist is the toughest situation: they threaten you, Make you feel guilty, they act entitled, they are manipulative, they are hot and cold.  They are great at making you feel like you're the crazy one! 

ADVERSITY


You can either view it as a blessing or allow your past to control the rest of your life. Surround yourself with positive people. Be selective with the people you surround yourself with. Indirectly they will affect your mood and your outlook.

 

YES.....

"So do it then. Do the things you've been dreaming of for years. Do the things that you cannot go a day without thinking about. DO the things your heart begs you to do. Not next year, not next month, not next week. My lovely friend, do it today! Start now. Don't let your fears or doubts stop you any longer. Your heart is begging you to finally say yes."

BE ALONE

There doesn’t have to be a pathological reason to explain your anxiety about being alone. Fear of being alone may be simply a function of never having learned to do it! It may never have been encouraged and so the idea of it may feel alien and uncomfortable. Once you begin to venture into this territory, you may find that your comfort about being alone increases. You may actually crave that time you spend by yourself.

Give yourself the gift of your own time and energy—there’s nothing more worth it.

Narcissistic People

Narcissistic  behavior is uncomfortable to deal with especially at the holiday season!

Be mindful and have patience ! Do not  get caught up 

in  the drama

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) can be difficult to recognize because many of the characteristics seem normal. Everyone has narcissistic traits, but doctors diagnose NPD when these traits combine to present as a personality disorder that is persistent over time and difficult to change. A person with NPD may not realize that he or she has the condition and if aware of it, usually doesn't consider it a problem. Many people with NPD, especially men, appear to be very successful, but difficulties are often visible in significant areas of their lives, such as relationships

1. What are the Key Symptoms of NPD?

A person with NPD often has an inflated sense of self-importance. This is combined with a lack of empathy, as they see things only from their perspective. It can be difficult for them to understand the importance of social norms, ethics, and laws, rather interpreting them as limitations in their own lives. They expect life to work according to their understanding. Underneath, they can be quite fragile because of the confusion their misperception brings. The sense of being "wounded" can result in extreme rage in some people with NPD. Others may project problems in their lives onto others, especially spouses and children.

Be Kind

Moving On

Like most people, you're likely to experience a roller coaster of emotions. Some
days you may feel hopeful and may even be relieved. Things had been difficult for a long time. On other days you may feel sad, angry,confused and anxious.

Setting yourself small achievable goals not only boosts feel good emotions, but confidence. Whether its getting a chore out of the way, going out for the evening, going to the gym or even a walk, or starting a new project., it will help you to see and know that you're moving on.

Empower Women

                                       Empower Women

Always respect yourself as a woman. You attract what you are, so be very mindful of how you’re representing yourself. If you want respect, you must first learn how to respect yourself, first. Attracting negative attention is never a good thing. Be a woman of substance! Be a woman that both women and men respect, admire, and look up to. Don’t disrespect yourself by lowering your standards and accepting just anything that comes your way. It’s okay to be single! If you want a relationship of substance, you can’t keep entertaining people and things that mean you no good. Think about it! It’s all up to you.”

Women Health Tips  Video
Keeping yourself healthy is a marathon,
not a sprint.  And the odds are pretty high that the
healthy habits you lay down now will have an big
impact on your overall health and physical ability down the road
With that in mind you should start like yesterday.

When nobody else celebrates you,

learn to celebrate yourself.

When nobody else compliments you, then

compliment yourself.

It's not up to other people to keep you encouraged.

It's up to you.

Encouragement should come

from the inside.
