Stay Calm, Be Cool

One day when we look back on this, we will remember everything that we went through, and we might even wonder how did we make it? This is a question that we answer every day during these especial times.

The very first step is to stay calm, be cool. Every day we can find ourselves in situations that increase our stress. It is especially important to maintain our calm during these moments, even more so if across from us is someone that is having trouble keeping a cool head. If both sides are hot and angry then the outcome will be a tragedy.

How many times have we heard that people have being attacked, or even died because of a face mask? Is it worth it? The answer will always be no. A life if not worth a piece of cloth.

Always respect the decisions of other people, even if you disagree with them. Do not let it become an excuse for you to do something that you will come to regret. An action that takes a moment to do can change not only your future, but the future of your family.

How can you stay calm and be cool? Find ways to reduce your stress. Maybe you like gardening? Or how about reading a good book? Do you enjoy exercising? Give it a try on you living room! How about watching TV or even playing some computer games? Find ways to keep yourself occupied and to bring a smile to your face. A smile in your face will also be a smile for your family.

Do not give up and keep moving forward. One day everything will pass, and we will find ourselves in a better situation, but to make it there remember to always stay calm, be cool. Never Give up!

Be Positive During Hardship

Many times, we hear that it is important to be positive, to strive to be better, but the true test of this happens when hardships arrive. It is easy to be positive when good times are here, but we cannot give up when things turn south.

How can we stay positive when it seems like the whole world is against us, when our worries and stress keep piling up? This is the moment when we should remember the good things that we have. Remember the family and friends that are with you, they will light up your road.

Instead of thinking of the bad, think about what good might come out of this situation. It is not easy to do, but if you keep at it and never give up, it will come a time when this will become easier to do.

A positive mindset will help you overcome any hardships that come your way, while a negative mindset will stop you on your tracks, will drive you deeper into a hole.

What do you do if you find that you are already in that hole? What do you do if you cannot get out of it? You reach out to others; you seek help to overcome this. You might feel alone, but there is always someone that is willing to offer a hand. Many times, a hand is already reaching for us, but we are concentrating so much in ourselves that we do not see this.

Never give up and always move forward; one day the end of the tunnel will come, and light will surround us once again. During these moments of uncertainty think of the future that will arrive if you keep moving forward.  Reach out to people and together you will overcome anything.

All of this will become a memory. One day we will be able to remember and maybe even laugh about it together, but in order to reach this destination stay positive and move forward, never give up and the light will come to everyone once again.

City in the Morning

Beautiful Image of a City in the Early hours of the Day

Happy Wednesday to everyone! Today I bring you a picture taken during the early hours of the day. What feelings does this picture awaken?

This picture is a reminder to everyone that after darkness the light will come and fill up the sky. Right now there is a lot of uncertainty, darkness surrounding us from everywhere we look. Eventually light will come to us, just like the sun is slowly coming to fill the city with it’s light and warm.

Keep moving forward and never give up.

One Day at a Time

There are so many questions that come to our minds during these times. How long? When? Why? As we ponder these questions, it’s good to remember that we always move forward one day at a time.

Believe that the day will come when this is behind us, a day when we will tell stories to our children and grandchildren of how we manage all this by concentrating one day at a time.

These are stressful times, issues at work and out of work. Not being able to see many of our love ones, not being able to do what we always do. Do not stress too much about a month from now, instead take things one day at a time and move forward never looking back or giving up.

Always stay positive on the face of adversity. We will persevere and rebuild what needs to be rebuilt. Do not let fear control you, help each other and look for the good things that are around you.

Never give up and move forward one day at a time.

Don’t Stress, This will Pass

Don’t stress, this will pass. During this hard times we need to remember this. There is so much going on right now, the world is changing every moment, new information about this situation keeps coming and it gets harder to stay calm.

How can we accomplish this when our daily life has changed? Some are stuck at home, some still going to work and some somewhere in between. The situation changes so fast that it’s hard to keep up. What can we do?

It is important to find moments to relax, to have something that can take your mind of this situation. Maybe for you it’s playing games, or maybe it’s gardening. How about watching TV? Anything that can help you relax is good.

How about excersising in front of your TV? Singing? The sky is the limit. Maybe this is a good time to call your family and friends that you haven’t talked in a while. Maybe even a video call!

It is important to never give up. Remember that these times won’t last forever. Keep moving forward and better times will come. Don’t stress, this will pass.

Always Have Hope, Never Give Up

Never give up and always have hope. There are many hardships and uncertainty around this time, fear in our hearts and feelings of powerlessness. We wonder what to do, we wonder what did we do? How did we get here?

This is the time to unite, to show the true strength of our heart. Even if all around feels like it’s falling apart never lose hope, never give up. Stay strong and do good, stay true to your self and don’t let anything bring you down.

By standing united we will be able to overcome this. We are stronger than this. Never lose hope, never give up. Remember that there will always be light after darkness. We will persevere!

How to Survive Monday in Daylight Saving Time

Happy Monday! A new day with the difference that we are waking up earlier than usual. Do we really need daylight saving time? A question that we all have every year.

How do we survive today? Personally I think the key is coffee! Go grab a cup of it and when you finish it drink a second one. Of you don’t drink coffee then may I suggest some tea?

Now, if you get the chance go ahead and take a nap. That would give you a boost to finish today. Find ways to recover energies or to wake up. Me? I’m on my way to my 2nd cup of coffee with more to come.

Voting and Responsibility

Happy Super Tuesday! Today we find ourselves again in a day when we can have a saying in the future of our country. Voting is important, but being responsible about it is even more.

The person who we end up selecting will have influence on the future decisions of our country, future decisions that affect us and our family. This is why it’s important to search ourselves and also know who we are voting for.

Irresponsible voting can hurt more than no voting at all. Use your right, but remember to use it well. If you do this the you can feel peace that you did your best in this important occasion.

Go out and do your best. Vote and help shape the future in a responsible way!

Beauty is Everywhere

Beauty is everywhere around us, but many times we are blinded to it. How many times we are so busy walking from one place to another in the city to notice small beautiful things around us?

Take this flowers as an example, beautiful and strong, giving their all to live. We also need to be strong and give our all to live. We should look for beauty around us, inside of us. Only then we will be able to be happy as we go around our lives.

Always look forward, never behind. Our past might have made us, but it is our present that will define our future. As long as you never give up you will be able to find a way in your life. Be happy and always have a smile both inside and outside of you!
