Stay Calm

   Hey! Welcome to my blog! My name is Jasmine, and I am a mom to an amazing nine year old boy!  I love Jesus and He loves me! I am striving everyday to become a better person. I hope you all are staying safe throughout this pandemic! I just want to say how grateful I am that you all have taken the time to read my very first blog on this platform. I really appreciate it!

      Ok so let’s get started with today’s topic. Throughout this pandemic, there have been a myriad of people worrying and stressing over little things that they have no control of, yet I have seen people remain positive while COVID-19 is running rampant through their bodies. They’re still saying God is good, they’re still thankful for life and they’re still remaining calm. Oh how I wish I had their strength! 

      On my Instagram feed, I  saw one particular person on a breathing machine struggling to breathe to the point tears were streaming down her face; she remained positive through it all. Believe it or not, that lady inspired me! I said to myself here I am choosing to  stress over a situation that I have no control over, clearly the other party doesn’t care so why should I? I was really stressing over it because when you’re in business you want things to be smooth. You want to make a great impression with  your potential customers, and when you don’t keep your promise you just feel defeated. I had to let it go ! Like my grandma always say, count your losses and move on! 

      Honest moment! I failed the test when it came to staying calm. I chose to let my emotions take over, but I had to regroup. After I had put my son to bed, I prayed to God and asked Him to help me regroup because I felt like I was going to explode. I felt defeated and that’s something I hardly ever feel. In this present moment, I can say that He’s helping me! The situation hasn’t changed, but it’s my decision on how I react to it. I still find myself worrying about it, and when that comes up I try to think of something positive. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I’m just being transparent today y’all! I want you all to experience the piece of the journey with me. So for now y’all keep me in your prayers and remember to stay calm!  

With all this uncertainty in the world today, I would love to know  how you all are remaining calm. Leave your comments below! I can’t wait to read them!  Stay  tuned for part two.

Live your life and be great!
