For YOU.

By


It’s crazy to think about how one month can turn in the two months, and two months can turn the three months, and the next thing you know half a year goes by, and the next thing you know it’s a year later...


Thinking about where I was a year ago compared to where I am now...every time I predict or have a small invasion of what my future may look like, it turns out to be nothing like I expected it to look like but it’s not always a bad thing... 


And honestly the favorite things about my life right now are the ones that caught me by surprise because I didn’t see it coming... 


I’m just kind of at this point in my life where I tend to just go with the flow, ya know riding the wave of life, letting life take the stirring wheel...


But let me tell you, I’m a huge sign person... I mean HUGE. For example, every time I think of quitting my job and wanting to start something different, something happens whether it’s a promotion or some sort of light at the end of the tunnel that makes me stay. And I think that’s God’s way of telling me to stay...


And then of course other things happen that you wish maybe turned out differently... And it’s sometimes hard to take those things and look at them in a positive light. I sometimes question to myself and think is this is a sign too? A sign to let go... Let go of all the things that aren’t for YOU. Do you ever just catch yourself doing all these things for other people? BUT can you list the same number of things that you do for others that you do for yourself?


Make a list I challenge you... Name 3 things that you do for yourself on a daily basis. Actually things,  not just the necessities like showering, cooking, or work. 


Me: 

  1. Yoga/gym sometimes 
  2. ?
  3. ? 


The fact that I can’t name three things means something in my daily routine NEEDS to change... if you reading this I challenge you to write down 3 things you do for yourself in a daily and 3 things you would like to do for yourself on a daily... then take a deep breathe and just take a second to think about how you can include things that are for YOU, that better YOU in your daily routine... because in the end the most loyal person you will ever have in your life is yourself...

This is for those who cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am right there with you. You feel like there is no point, right? Or there is nothing to look forward to, nothing to add value to, or maybe you feel like you don't want to turn to a loved when you feel lost in your own mind. I am there too. You can call me Jess, and I am here to tell you the cliché, you are not alone.  You have probably been told a million times this year, "This year sucks for everyone" and you think to yourself "Sure, but I am going through it." Those words have been replaying in my head for months now. Yes, I have a job. Yes, I am paying my bills on time. The question is, am I enjoying living paycheck to paycheck and nothing to look forward to because I can't afford anything. The answer is absolutely NOT. Guess what, there is nothing to do about it besides try to control the things you can control. It is true, everyone is struggling right now. I feel alone too. I feel li...

Day by Day

  Hey there, it’s Lys...it’s been a minute. Ya know just got caught up a little bit,    trying to figure out this game of life we play. I’m in the middle of trying to figure out where I’m going to live, what I’m going to do with my career, trying to make time for everyone... trying to make everyone happy. But ya know what’s important? Self happiness, self awareness, and self acknowledgment. Let me repeat this one... self acknowledgement. Has someone ever told you how great your doing? Because whether or not you believe it, you are doing GREAT. You know how I know? Well, you are still here on earth reading this blog and still trying to defeat this battle that life throws at you. And if that’s not some hardcore dedication, I don’t know what is.   So I’m going to tell you. You are great and you are doing a phenomenal job at whatever it is your doing. Give yourself some recognition. You are still here. You are surviving, you are figuring it out. You’re not suppose to hav...

Pals That Blog

By
The Jess & Lyss friendship goes WAY back to our college degenerate days. We both joined the same sorority our sophomore year of college, had the same major, and of course jammed out to the same music. We became closer, made the wildest of memories, and eventually had Jess & Lyss therapy sessions together. We live very similar lifestyles but at the same time, we have VERY different experiences that have shaped us into who we are today. These experiences have brought us closer together to form a friendship neither of us would replace. This blog was originally a one man show. By adding another blogger, we aspire to reach a larger audience as our ultimate goal is to motivate others. Live On is now reconstructed to share our stories, our DIFFERENT stories, that we hope one day someone can benefit from. To let someone know that they are not alone. To encourage others to keep on going. To maybe even save a life. This world is full of obstacles... challenges... but hey, we're in it...
