#Encouraging #Emotional #Wellness- Living #life Every day to it's fullest

 Hello

Thank you for stopping by-It’s so encouraging to see such a great response to the blog.

It’s my last blog post before my first birthday as a Christian & I just wanted to share a special message that would hopefully be some of use / help. Our emotional well-being often gets overlooked. If a room or a cupboard is running out of space or overflowing it’s a sure sign that we need to clear it out.

Our emotional well-being is more hidden & less obvious & therefore most likely the part of our body to get neglected. I suffered from headaches, stress & even had physical symptoms such as sore shoulders- I was literally carrying the weight of my life. On a course I did, we had a back pack exercise, the idea is to realise how much we are carrying in our day to day lives. Needless to say mine was overflowing, the follow-up exercise was to let these go in a balloon & start on a clean page. It felt very liberating because when we start again, we start to scrutinise things more. Asking the question, do I really need this or could I just let it go?

When my daughter and I (she’s very much part of the KIMI-team) went to a Children’s Ministry Event the message spoke to my core, below are my thoughts:

A #NewYear #NewStart #NewYou……………………………………………………………………………………………

Over the course of the year, we can accumulate a lot of things that can hinder our ability to live in wholeness & wellness. When we let go of negative emotions that pose no real value in keeping them. We will not only have clarity of who we are & where we are going we keep our ability to live freely & peacefully. Living life every day to its fullest, that will bring joy in itself. There is power in letting go of anger, unforgiveness, disappointment, strife…………. Because it makes room for other things to flow into your life. In a biblical sense, it allows for the gifts of Jesus to come into your life- happiness. 
I want to close with a quote by Maya Angelou - we cannot control all the events in our life but we can control how much we are reduce by it.

With love and hugs

Highly Effective People Strives For Excellence

Hello I hope you enjoyed the last 2 special blog posts about Parentalk and Abuse. I felt it was important for me to use this platform to raise awareness on topics that could make a positive impact on future generations. This week is back to talking about life, inspiration, motivation and ideas-this post was actually inspired by a rather dysfunctional event. Every day we have many distractions, which can keep us from our destiny if we chose to be consumed by it.  Our dreams has to be bigger than our current reality to cause us not to sweat the smaller stuff and that involves letting some things or people go. The difference between effective and not-effective people is how we chose to channel it. Below is how (after the initial annoyance) I done it. Just to put this into context- the individual(s) concerns were unable to take accountability for their actions / errors, instead what I observed was a misuse of power and the slow demise of an outdated organisation. Enjoy...

A book review – Part One - Dealing with Disappointment by John Hindley

This book was a relatively easy read with the simple idea that leaves you to question: is life just one big disappointment?  In many ways it does seem so; the author delves into different areas of disappointment in our lives. I suspect most if not all are relatable to everyone. Firstly, the author says we actually should be disappointed by life, as things are not as good as they should be. We live in a frustrated and frustrating world; the frustration is because of the fallen world when sin entered humanity. We all carry this divinely inbuilt sense that the world should and could be better. The book goes on to say that on the other hand, we are sometimes too disappointed with life.  We expect satisfaction from other areas of lives to overcompensate for this.  When this satisfaction is denied, it starts an over-disappointed cycle. For example, I came across a thread where the mum wrote in and expressed disappointment in her children’s grades, which led her to ques...

A seemingly insignificant act has the potential to change the world...

I loved learning about the story of Reformation Day. The significance centres on how the Bible became accessible for everyone to read - historically the general public wasn’t allowed to read it, only priests or those considered anointed within the church were allowed to read it. The priests read the Bible in Latin, so for most people, it wasn’t even possible to read it. God’s word was entrusted into the hands of those in power, who were deemed qualified to understand it.  What the priests were teaching, was not actually in line with what the Bible said, as one monk, called Martin Luther found out. He started to read the Bible for himself out of pure frustration.  According to the teachings of the priests, believing in God seem to be just to be an endless set of rules and it left him feeling as if he could never be good enough for God. Little did he know at the time, he was about to birth a revolution that quite literally changed the world. This set him on a path of ...
