Today’s talking and teaching, on what matters, is this: Why eating breakfast is good for you. Do you have breakfast, each morning?

1 – Eat breakfast, as it is good for your mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health and wellbeing.

2 – Explore as you eat, as going through this learning about yourself, will help you to realize what food you are willing to buy and eat, which will help to see you through.

Eat breakfast, as it is good for your mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health and wellbeing.

Picture this, you have woken up, and you know that the day’s conditions are perfect for doing a load of laundry that you just have to sort and then spin in the washing machine. Not related … but hear me out, I am getting there. Are you still with me? Good! So, once you have sorted out the laundry, it is time to load your body up with breakfast. Such as what you see in the photo above: fruit, along with some toast and a cuppa of something, (such as tea or coffee). Now, to maintain good health and well-being, make it your goal, as I do mine, to eat breakfast as your laundry is being washed. This is what will help you with my teaching point number one.

 

Question for you: In your wardrobe, do you have nice clothes and nice clothes? And your hair, is it styled in a way that you like? Anxiety and depression right there my friend. If you do not feel good that is?

 

Let me explain: During my adult life, of being a woman who is a self-confessed slave to fashion – I know, I know, I have had to learn to have a wardrobe full of fashion for different occasions. Now the idea behind this for me, and until now, this idea has only really worked in theory. I still mess up LOL!

 

Why you may ask? Because I had to grow into my body and fashion and learn to like myself and the skin that I was in. And I can assure you, that this is not an easy concept to grasp. Especially when you want to feel and look good at the same time. This includes a hairstyle to be proud of.

 

And because I am now getting older and I really do not wish to always be a slave to fashion, or have issues with my hair. I have had to teach myself to like myself (there’s my anxiety) and also learn to make a fashion statement, by mixing, matching, and playing with what is in my wardrobe – ie: seeing if I like what I have on and going from there.

 

So, by making sure that you have an outfit that you will like on, your mind ( which is your mental health and learning), body (your feelings), and soul (how you feel overall about you), will begin to organize itself and because you already feel good, if someone pays attention to you and what you are wearing and says something nice to you, the flattery will get you everywhere. Meaning you may be buzzing for a while after. This is a good thing.

 

You have already engaged with yourself (managing your matters and your mental health – lower levels of anxiety) and you made sure that you managed your matters- and the flattery has given you an added boost helping you to feel more fantastic than you did before!

 

 As I write this story, it is still wintertime where I live, and that is New
Zealand. And the reason why I mention wintertime and condensation is because there is not one house that I have been during winter, or lived in, during winter, that does not suffer from condensation, on the windows. Another problem that I have come across during the winter months, is my knowing and ability to get laundry done. And then, once I have, it is about timing my going out right, and with purpose.

So, the reason why I mention therapy at the beginning, and then the things that bother me, during certain times of the year, is because all of these things can be turned into actionable steps that are therapy that also moves you, while you are at home, and when you have time to spare, let us say a good hour. Yes, a good hour of doing things that can be turned into therapy.

I will start with the condensation thing. Before I took action on this one, I wanted to watch how someone else did this. It was painful. Why? Such aggression and no mindful thinking or doing, and when this person finished showing me what they did and how, boy did they leave a mess, of marks that is, on the window!

You want to know that when you stand back and look at the window, you were able to do a good job. This is what I mean by therapy, for your body, and mind. You are doing.

Right, so now you know why this story is about therapy at home, and why when you know something, you are able to do this something, on repeat, and when you have time. This is a must. The next thing on therapy is about sorting out your laundry and sorting through your laundry, and then putting it away. This is what you do to stay ordered: When you know, you are able, and on repeat.

Today’s talking and teaching point is this: Do you like comedy? If so, what kind of comedy – certain kind of standup, or perhaps a sitcom series? Or maybe you are like me, and you have realized how much you appreciate those with a genuine sense of humor and who are straight talking, pulling no punches (but who are not mean, also important, that they are not mean, that is).  What I have learned about myself, is that I have a sense of humor, which up until now, I have not acknowledged. So I have decided to share my poetry with the intention of helping you have a bit of a giggle. Hope you do.

Content that you can consume

Video, radio, or series on tv. Take your pick and take a pue, that is how you allow the content to entertain you. I like a bit of all of the above, just at different times during any given day. They all have something different to offer and consuming content in this way is more than the content, it is about the conversations that happen between real people.

Listening to this content alone can make you laugh, and this is one way of taking care of the way you feel (your mental health). When you are watching a tv series, go for actors who you feel are naturally funny, and whom you like already. This will help you with consuming this content. Your mental health is important, as is mine, and starting somewhere with your knowing is the first step to flowing so you can action this on repeat when you need and want to.

 

Comedy that you can clap for

Don’t like sitting on the couch watching hours and hours of sitcoms? Then head out for some stand-up comedy, that you can clap for. This is another way of allowing yourself.

 

Coaching you with poetry for people

I do not know about you, but I enjoy having a conversation that is memorable, simply because that person has got good energy, and their stories are funny. This is the same reason that I write (and read out, my) poetry for people, and created poems on pictures of which you can listen to and read, when you understand that taking care of your mental health is important so that learning is easier to achieve. It is a form of artistry, except with rhythm and rhyme, that is telling a story.

Do something nice for another person

Do you know about the love languages? And that they are not just about romantic relationships, but all sorts of relationships? That there are 5, yes, I said five! And, the good thing for you, as a takeaway for today, is that you can practice 1 or 2 of them every day. Why? Because you can incorporate this language into your life. I always make sure that I am up at a certain time each day, and that I go to bed at the same time each day. Good for mental health and well-being. You know? And I do this because it allows me the time to do all that I want to do before I leave the house. This is where I start and finish with doing something nice for another person. We all have strengths and weaknesses. That is something we all, yes, even you have to acknowledge and accept this fact. When you do, life and doing something nice for someone else is easy. So, as I know what my strengths are, not only will I not fight this information, but I know that it matters to me, and I am able to just get on with helping. Such as emptying out the rubbish bin, and putting a new bin liner in, and then putting this outside, ready to go the following week. That is me providing a service for another person. Having given myself peace of mind, because of what I have done, I can get on with the next task for myself. This is where the next love language comes in. One of my favorite past times is to shop (no judgment please!) for all sorts of things that I may need in the future. And with online shopping, and click and collect, this is exactly what I do ( again, no judgment please!) So I go and get my shopping, even though I know that I may not want what I have ordered and may have to exchange this item. Second love language coming. And this story is all about knowing and being able. I get to the shop in question and discover that I do in fact have to exchange the item for others. And I do. Except I realize, as I shop, that there are a few dollars, (that I am required to spend, their T&C). Now, at this point, I do not want anything else, except my money! I know I have to say something and I do, of which the lady at checkout tells me of the things that my dollars can buy. Straight away I see something in which I know who would enjoy this item and they would be able to use this where ever they are. How cool, I thought. So that was me sold, and out of there. My point is this: The two love languages that I put into practice on that day, were service and a gift. I felt happy with myself, as not only did I do something for myself, but for another person as well. I knew what they might like and I was able to do it. My knowing and ability to do. Something I encourage you to also. Have a happy day, xo Yanna

Your goal is to not blow the budget

Your knowing and ability to NOT have a budget blowout will be dependent on you knowing how you will pay the bill/s.  With cash or credit. Which will it be? Can you and do you know about transferring money? And finally, do you have a chequing account? You know, the one where you run your life on a day-to-day basis?

Even though the concept sounds very boring and not very exciting also, your knowing what a budget is, coupled with your ability to create and keep one is very important! And the reason is so that your life goes from boring and uninteresting to yee hah! Simply because, you what a budget is, how to create one and how to manage one.

I have started this post by discussing how a budget can be managed and maintained. And also by addressing some questions for you to answer. So, for the first one: cash, do you carry any? When you have access to at all times, some cash, you are taking control and care of your own life. And you can build on this. Taking control of your life means that you can control yourself and do not need to BLOW all of the money that comes your way, meaning that you know and are ABLE to take care of yourself, if and when you need to.

Credit, got that? I personally love this one, because it gives me a sense of KNOWING that I am ABLE to be cautious about how much I spend and where, and providing that I pay the bill on time, I will always have good credit.

Transfer to who? I love this one also. With the evolution of the internet, such as you reading this post, and should you decide to enroll in my program on budgeting, your money can be transferred just like that to me. Easy! And it is private and secure!

And speaking of a budget, what about an everyday account. You know, the one that you need for when you need a good feed for both you and your family! Plus all of the other expenses required to know and be able to live. So, you see when you KNOW what to do, when, why, and how, having a budget blowout will not happen. Instead, you are ABLE to have some cash to carry, credit to use, for WHEN you need to TRANSFER some money to a man or woman, and you can cheque in and buy your groceries and cheque out and KNOW that you will not have to go without.
