WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DO NOT FEEL YOUR BEST

-

Do you ever wake up and just feel sad about yourself or your situation? Are there days that your inadequacies and lack stare you dead in the face leaving you in such a helpless state?

You’re not alone. I’ve been there and you can be sure a lot more people can relate to your plight.

A few days ago I woke up and went to God sulking about the things I do not have, the areas I felt “not enough” and the situations that made me feel helpless. I was so heavy with this weight that I lost my peace and finding the right words to utter in prayer seemed hard.

Well, barely few hours later and I felt very much better. 

Not that my situation was physically changed or the burden I felt completely disappeared but here are a few things I did that took me from feeling sad and tired about myself to feeling grateful for even the very season I am in:

  • I made confessions: and how did I do this? I opened my mouth and spoke out positivity and Gods promises as regards my current state until the loud voice in my head that wanted to weigh me down couldn’t be heard any longer.
  • I shifted my mindset from complain and sulking to an attitude of gratitude. I gave thanks for what I have and even more thanks for what I do not have. The interesting thing is that my lack suddenly looked so little and the giants that made me sulk couldn’t be found anywhere near anymore
  • I made do with what I had: Instead of focusing on my inadequacies, lack and so on, I decided to focus on my strengths and made whatever that was available work for me. I took literal advantage of what was in my disposal to create what I desired and I eventually realized that I have more than enough supply for this season. I mean; if God had given me excess, I’ll still not be as productive as I imagine in my head rather I might still be complaining about those things that are far off which will subsequently result in the same cycle that brought me here in the first place.                  
                                    
If you look closely, it’s a cycle and unless you learn to break out of the system your mind has created, you’ll be stuck in the same rat race until you have no more strength to branch out and be all that God has called you to be.

I hope this little piece helps shift your mindset 

With love🫶🏽

  👀   where is she coming from right?. I know, I know, I know. I know it’s been really dusty in here and I can’t just show up with the next blogpost like I never left.  My last post here was 26th April 2019 and I’m showing up just a few days shy of 4years later 🫢 Where has Plangdes(plangdaily) been? What has she been up to? Why did she leave? and why is she returning?. If I were you I’ll probably have the same questions on my mind and maybe even more. I promise I’ll clear your doubts/concerns. But first this is me saying I’M BACK!! 💃🎊🎉 .  Genuinely I’m not sure if I’m excited or nervous or both. Excited because I’m back to writing on my blog (though I stopped blogging, the writer in me didn’t stop writing). You bet I’ve written a lot outside of my blog to even make up a book series and nervous on the other hand because I hope I don’t leave again. So from the top- why did I leave almost as soon as I started?. I’d say I really thought since I was a good writer and...

PROS AND CONS OF THE VEGETARIAN TOFU!

Hey Plangdaily subscriber, It’s been a minute and I am more than excited to write on this topic  “pros and cons of the vegetarian TOFU”… So I am currently obtaining my university education in a vegetarian school and the university cafeteria replaces animal product for “tofu” except for milk and eggs though. I personally like tofu because I’m used to taking it right from home before gaining admission in the school (it’s popularly called “awara” in my side of the world) but most students only tolerate it while some do not like it at all. In a conversation with a friend, she thinks tofu is fattening so she doesn’t eat it because she’s trying to watch her weight and I’m like really? How possibly true could that statement be because tofu is solely made from soya bean? Either ways I did my research and came up with a fact: Tofu is naturally gluten free and LOW IN CALORIE!!! It contains no cholesterol! And it is a great source of calcium and iron.  So the questi...
