10 THINGS TO DO TO START THE YEAR RIGHT




“Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year. By Believing.” -Sarah Ban Breathnach

2018 is over and a few hours ago, we welcomed 2019 with full of laughter, love, fireworks, and food. Oh, how time flies. I hope you had a wonderful experience last year. If not, at least it has ended and let’s get excited to better days ahead. Let’s be thrilled of what 2019 gets to offer.
Here are ten things you can do to start the year right. 

#1 Forgive

One of the best gifts you can give to yourself is to forgive. Forgive the people that hurt you. It is through forgiveness that you can learn to accept things the way they are and stop dwelling on ‘what ifs’. It’s that time of the year to forgive yourself also. Remember, you are precious and deserve many chances in life.

#2 Let go of the pain

Let go and let God. There are things that we have to set aside. Let’s not dwell too much on bad memories and dark past. It’s time to move forward. The best time to start freeing yourself from pain is today.

#3 Start a journal

Today is day 1 of the 365 days of 2019. You can write a journal about your new year’s resolution or a to-do list of the things you want to achieve this year.

#4 Spend some quiet time alone

Amidst the hassle and bustle, find solace in a place you can spend some time alone. Have a talk with your inner self and reflect on life.

#5 Start saving/ investing

You will be a year older this year, it’s time to be financially responsible. Start saving and/or investing. Put up an emergency fund you can use in times of difficult situations. Also, you can consider getting a participating life insurance where you can invest long-term and have protection at the same time.

#6 Make new friends

No man is an island. Go out and make new friends. Make new memories with the people you can grow with. Associate yourself with positive individuals and avoid negativism in your life.

#7 Create a new hobby

Try a new hobby or sport. Do something you’ve never done before. Climb a mountain, go on a solo travel, or invite your family for a recreational activity.

#8 Read a very good book

Read something that interests you. Reading is an excellent past time that will help broaden your vocabulary and imaginative skills. Reading also allows you to travel the world without having to apply for a visa.

#9 Do good for others

Be kind. Practice doing good to others. The act doesn’t have to be grandiose. A small act of genuine kindness can make this world a better place to live in.

#10 Be a responsible tenant of Mother Earth

It’s sad that the Earth is dying. Be a responsible citizen and stop throwing your trash anywhere. Minimize use of disposable plastics.

Happy new year everyone!

Happy new you!

Xoxo,
Mommy Bev

FROM CORPORATE TO STAY-AT-HOME-MOM: HOW TO COPE UP WITH THE TRANSITION

Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws. -Barbara Kingsolver I was a Medical Sales Representative in a Multi-National company for six years when I finally decided to leave the corporate world. I was at that point in my life where I felt I was no longer fulfilled as an individual. I loved my job, the company, and the people that I had worked with, but I felt something was missing. I was also having problems with our babysitter that when she brought her boyfriend in our house without asking permission it made my decision to resign even stronger. I felt like missing a lot of moments with my daughter when I should be the one spending more time with her that she’s still a toddler. I prayed and asked help from my spiritual mentors and to my husband who supported me all the way. It was a leap of faith, having a little savings and the fear of what will happen next. I was filled with fear before I resigned. I was not sure of how things would turn out. Indeed,...

WHAT MOTHERHOOD TAUGHT ME THAT MADE ME A BETTER INDIVIDUAL

To all mothers in every circumstance, including those who struggle- and all will- I say “Be peaceful. Believe in God and yourself. You are doing better than you think you are.” -Jeffrey Holland I grew up in an environment where women are empowered. My mom single-handedly raised us when my father died. I was only 6 that time, my younger brother at 4. Life was hard but I didn’t know that because my mother was able to conceal the ugly side of life. Fast forward to present and I am now a mother myself. My daughter will be turning 3 this May and so far, I’m still able to cope up with the hustle and bustle of motherhood. Wow! Life’s pretty amazing and chaotic with a toddler. Being a millennial mom, these are the things that I’ve learned and experienced that I want to share with you. If you are a mother yourself, I know you can relate with these. If you are expecting or planning to have kids in the future, these might give you an idea of what awaits you. #1. A baby i...

Product Review: Physiogel Calming Relief Gentle Cream Cleanser

Taking care of our skin especially our face is essential. Wearing make-up can enhance your physical beauty but if you don’t take good care of your face, you’re most likely to age faster. I was not into skin care before, if I clean my face with soap and water, it’s good to go already. However, I realized that it’s better to have a good skin care routine and not have make-up on your face than wearing make- up daily without proper skin care management. Today, I am going to share to you a product review on one of my favorite cleanser/make-up removers. Been using this for nine months already and I like the effect on my face. Of course, I use other skin products so the over-all result on my face is not solely exclusive to this product I am giving a review. This post is not sponsored, and I am writing this out of my own willingness because I really like the product. This could help other women and men in their decision before trying one. The product: Physiogel Hypoallergenic Calming...
