Inner Peace I want that....

We all have difficult times in our lives when all we want is peace. These days, I truly don't have many difficulties in my life and most are just a matter of my own perspective. NO my life is not perfect, I just don't allow too much to get to me anymore. 

The year is quickly coming to an end and it's that time again to revisit, "New Years Resolutions" which from now on I will be calling... "Life Goals"! Don't really care what year it is anymore... I just want to do more, be me and live my life to the fullest! 

I wrote about them here last year and I chose my focus word to be PEACE. And, while I have gained peace in so many areas of my life... worries, weight and with my family... I started to lack it and my motivation in my 8 to 5:00 p.m. job. Which I never really write about for personal reason. But, yes. I had recently lost motivation and purpose in my position, But, through speaking to an old co-worker now Momma/Faith friend and to a new connection from Blogalicious, who happens to be a magnificent life/career Coach, Boni. I was able to find some clarity. Some light and thoughts into my situation. All very very very helpful!

Inner peace. I want that. It's all I have been thinking about since speaking with these two ladies!

I know it will not be an easy process but I will take it one day at a time. One peaceful affirmation at a time and just continue to grow and learn from my experience. I will take small steps everyday to reach my goals and be better from the inside out. I deserve it and so does my family.

If you are Instagram follow me, I also started a 30 days of affirmations challenge!

::My Experience at Massage Envy::

There is always that one thing that was missing from your life, that you didn't know you were missing, until you find it. Confusing enough? 

Friday, I was treated to the most amazing me time. A full body 45 minute massage. ::heavens opened up:: and I had my "where have you been all my life!" moment! 

I drove up to Massage Envy in Copperfield here in Houston with really not knowing what to except but from the moment I arrived, a smiley happy face greeted me. Made me feel very comfortable and at peace. After I completed a short assessment page of why I was there the attendant further explained the process and went over why I was there. I really wanted to feel relaxed as most toddler Momma's would agree, we deserve it. I wanted to feel serene it had been a stressful week; working 40 plus hours outside the home, Soccer practice with my son and trying to be very consistent with my blog creates some stress.

I wanted to be relaxed and feel some serenity. Easy enough. After my initial assessment, I was taken into this awesomely low lit peace filled room. The aromas, the sounds, the big comfy couches and oh yeah no screaming toddlers, I could of fallen asleep for 45 minutes and that would have made my day alone. But, then I was introduced to my therapist. She was very nice and then took me back to the massage area where she once more went over the plan and areas that needed work. 

The next 45 minutes are a blur. Kidding. She was amazing. I immediately felt relaxed even though she had to tell me a couple of times to relax. I am not used to the quiet and peacefulness that I was experiencing but let me tell you if you have no ever had a massage I recommend you getting one. Now. Today. It will change you and what you think being relaxed is.  

After my session, my therapist advised me on drinking plenty of water that day {and everyday}  and was to regain the relaxation during the day. The best thing is to take plenty of breaks, stepping away from your desk and taking 3 truly deep breaths to help bring back oxygen into your body! Just sit in that moment and clear your mind. The concept seems simple enough but how often do we really do it. 

My therapist also gave a recommendation of frequency to continue having these sessions. I don't know if my Hubby will agree but I totally do! ::insert BIG HUGE smile here::
