3 Relaxing Activities for Single Parents

If you are like me a single parent and your kids are away for the summer visiting family. This is a great time for renewing your energy. And nurturing your mind, body and soul. Most single parents are too busy during the school year to take time out for themselves.  I know I am one of those parents. You run around whether it's after school activities, football, baseball, band. Or just helping your kids with their homework. By summertime you are exhausted.

Summertime is Here!

 Summer is now here. Enjoy yourself whether it be it alone or with friends. If you are single and interested in meeting someone. There are many ways to connect to someone. 

Dating

If you have been putting off dating or just never had the time to. Now that the kids are away even if it's just for a couple of weeks. You can try speed dating. Speed dating is a fast and easy way to meet someone new. When I tried it a few years ago. I signed up online and paid the fee. Then showed up to the venue and signed in. You will get a name tag and you will get a table. Once everyone that has signed up is there and singed in. They will begin and you have 10 to 15 minutes to get to know the person and once time is up move on to the next. It was fun and safe for women. I am not sure if it is still done the same. You can get more information on speed dating here.

Look into Local Events!

 Engage in new activities that will put you out there, where you will meet new people and socialize. Meetup has an app you can download. It has local groups and events.

Treat Yourself

It is your time now enjoy making time for yourself. Go to the spa get a massage 30 minute or go for an hour. Why not you deserve it. When you are at home if you are having a hard time relaxing enjoy aromatherapy, try Lavender essential oil in a diffuser, and enjoy some comforting music that lull you into a deep sleep. Enjoy a good book in the patio. Go shopping. Join a gym and exercise. Go to the park and enjoy nature. Being outside in nature is relaxing and rejuvenating. 

Enjoy your summer and have fun while doing it, I am!

Fixing your credit for prosperity.

I recently bought the book Debt Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About. A lot of the information in the book is in the Internet. However the information is outlined and in order making it easy to follow. Some chapters are repeated information from previous chapters all in all it is an informative book. That has helped me start working on my credit. I had pretty good credit until my divorce, and loss of employment. So one foreclosure and bills in collection later my credit was pretty bad. I have taken some of the steps outlined and can feel the progress. I was lacking motivation, knowing I needed to do something, but not taking action helps no one. Get motivational books that will bring your spirits up nothing is impossible. Everything is possible.

Meditations

Meditation is observing thoughts without getting entangled with them. For thoughts try this : Imagine your mind is like a stream with nothing in it but water going by wait for a thought imagine that the thought is a leaf in the water, as it floats by and disappears. Or try this one: Your mind is the sky and the clouds are your thought light and transparent unable to latch to your mind just watch them float by and disappear. When starting a meditation take deep breaths to help you relax. Breathe from the diaphragm. Let the air out slowing.

Replacing the negative with positive.

Once you have gotten clear, it is time to replace it with what you want in your life. Positive affirmations and feelings go hand in hand. Without the feelings in the affirmations, they are just words, they can be somewhat effective but with feelings they are emotionally charged. Think of how you want your situation to go stay positive. Remember everything you send out comes back to you.


Love & Light

Healing The Past

When you have a reocurring situation in your life that you do not like, look in the past for the answer. This is not just about remembering but feeling the negative emotion and staying with it and allowing it to flow and when you feel ready you can say outloud "I release, let loose and let go of this _____." This is how to get clear. How to be sure if you are clear and have released that negative energy. How do you feel? You should feel better if the issue still brings up negative feelings then you are not clear. Other issues may surface. Deal with them the same way. And forgive whomever contributed to your negative event including yourself. Love yourself. Love and Forgiveness is the answer to bringing in happiness and positive change in your life.

Love & Light
