Mama Care Monday: On a Quest for Inner Peace

9:00:00 AM









Per my last MCM post, and continuing with that same tone, I am sure you all can tell that I am on a quest to finding my "bliss" and the right combination that will yield consistent peace and balance in my life.  Given that, I recently received some news about my health that made me concerned, sit up a little straight, and take notice. With that said, I have to do an internal cleanse to get my system back in alignment and balanced. However one thing I noticed and have always remembered, is usually what's happening externally, is a reflection of what's happening internally. Or said another way, certain illnesses, ailments, or conditions can be attributed to emotional and spiritual balance and well-being or lack of.  So taking stock or rather inventory of what I have been saying, doing, thinking, feeling lately, etc...... I realized that I have not been being "sweet" my thoughts have been aggressive in nature, I am quick to react, respond, and spark.  Amazingly how this has been expressed health wise in me is that I have been exhausted, sometimes dragging through the day and I usually have a laundry list of things I need to do and get done. I realized that the weight of my judgments, aggression, and anger was literally "weighing" me down, so I decided to take action and be pro-active. These are the steps I decided to take:

  • I will be slow to anger, often it takes little to nothing to set me off, however that is only causing me more harm internally than good
  • When I feel myself about to become unhinged (which is most of the time, lol) literally take a moment to breath through the experience, take a breath so that I have a clear thought of how I will deal and what will come out of my mouth
  • Understanding that when I witness my 4yr old daughter have her "melt-downs" and gets super frustrated about something, that she literally and figuratively, is showing me "me" mirror imaging,  and its not for me to get further frustrated or angry with her, but to see what it look likes and make a better or different decision on how to handle things.
One immediate way that I could possibly apply this steps that I have created is by releasing pent up tension and getting my endorphins going is through physical activity. Attending and participating in like minded events and/or taking classes where the space is created for me to accomplish my goals. With that said, I had the pleasure of meeting fellow mommy blogger Krishna Davenport of Baobab Wellness. She will be hosting an amazing event for mommies Dec 3rd in Brooklyn where she will be providing fitness programs, nutrition information specifically about the Paleo diet, giveaways, swag bags, raffles, plethora of helpful supportive information and more. I will more than likely be in attendance and can't wait to share my experience and get my work out on to relieve some much needed stress! If any of you are in the area, you should stop on by too and join me!

In no way am I trying to be Mother Theresa or Hollier than Though, I am just trying to restore back the balance in my life and I believe it takes the synergy of mind, body, and soul. If I can get my emotions in check, get my nutrition under control (you are what you eat), doing things that make me happy, overall I will be completely healthy, which in my opinion is true happiness. A healthy mind is powerful, there is nothing you can not do and fear is not an option. As stated above, given my recent health news, I have the opportunity to change my mind and situation, most people don't get extra chances and I have been blessed yet again to make up mind different.  With that said, stay tuned as I embark on this journey, quest, expedition to complete health, and if you follow and are a subscriber to my blog, via the next MamaCare Monday post it will be revealed what I am overcoming and the detailed steps of how I got there. 
Remember mamas, it is essential that you take care of yourselves so that you have something left to continue to take care of others. Until next Monday........
