Moving Forward

-
Today has been a busy one for me. Its also been bittersweet to be honest. The pressure is on to be successful without the familiarity and cushion of my old job. Although there was little room for growth within my old company, I was safe, I knew my checks would come bi weekly and I was comfortable with that for far too long. My dreams and visions far outweigh what my old job could provide me. I have a realization that I was born to succeed! I wasn't born to just barely scrape by, live in public housing and to never own a home of my own. There's more to life than working tirelessly while never being able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. So many get caught in this cycle of work, eat sleep and repeat and before long, years have passed and nothing has changed but your age.

I became irritated and agitated, that's the best way I can explain it. Irritated that I don't have the things I desire and  agitated that I have so many ideas to be successful and wanting it all to happen at once. I can see the big picture but the work it takes to get there is tedious. Getting discouraged easily has  been an issue of mine but I recognize that flaw and am working on it. I usually get discouraged and eventually give up when things aren't looking good. I've started and stopped so many projects but I'm going to see Project Melanie through. Its all about my growth and development and holding myself accountable even when I don't feel like it. Keep up with me, Project Melanie

Being Productive and Safe

-
With the uncertainty of when our lives will return to normal looming overhead, we have to prepare for the what ifs. The initial shock has worn off and its time to kick into high gear and formulate plans that will bring in extra streams of income. What are some of your interests? You may enjoy writing as I do, you may have a wealth of knowledge about a specific subject and can charge for consultations. How about running your own business where the investment to start is minimal? The first step is figuring out what you're good at and then you can brainstorm how to bring your idea into a moneymaking opportunity. There are plenty of companies recruiting for everything from selling CBD products to being a credit referral agent. There's definitely a wide range of companies to choose from. You have to read all of the fine print and ask questions to see which company would be a good fit for you. Once you join a company, familiarize yourself with the products and services being offere...

MOVING RIGHT ALONG

-
If you do the same things day after day, you'll get the same results day after day. I've always heard people say this all throughout my life but never paid much attention to those words until now. As I went into work night after night, year after year without any significant changes in my life (other than the rapid decline of my health), I knew something had to give. I became angry and hard to get along with. When my off days were up and I was due to go back to work my entire demeanor changed, my husband knew exactly what was wrong with me everytime it would happen. He knew to steer clear of me and not to say too much. Peace was non existent, I was down right miserable with my life. I used to jokingly say, "my regular job is stopping me from pursuing my dreams". Although it was said jokingly, this was the honest truth. I was too tired and run down from working to pursue what my passion was. Feeling suffocated by life, I started having anxiety attacks and crying spells...

SITTING STILL

-
Have you ever felt like there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done? That's how I'm feeling these days. While I do realize there has to be a healthy balance to working, sleeping, family time etc., I also have the drive to continue on pushing myself when I should be getting rest. Ahh if I could just snap my fingers and my thoughts became a reality, that would be a dream come true for sure! I'm appreciating the process though of learning what works and what doesn't. I'm learning more about myself each day by sitting still. By sitting still I mean, taking time out of my day to sit in  silence, relax and reflect upon yesterday. While reflecting upon yesterday, I'm paying close attention to how I felt. If I'm not liking how I felt yesterday, I brainstorm what I can do today to make things better than yesterday. Sitting still in silence was a struggle for me at first. Feelings of guilt and anxiety crept in and I had to figure out why. I was so use...
