List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?
The Bible, it’s impact has changed the lost girl in the darkness to one filled with hope. The flowers in the attic is second because of it’s dark tale. A twisted story of love, hate, family and how abused the kids would never really grow up to be normal. So many I have read throughout the years. Last is probably lord of the rings. Though it is more than one book yeah maybe I can’t include it because it is a series of books. Prayer Warriors that’s a solo book. It’s a really good book about praying and when asking God we must be careful. He speaks about the most dangerous prayers to ask God. It truly is a book worth reading. I guess series books would be in another category. Though flowers in the attic is technically a series you can read the one book and never read the others. I did that for a long time and it was fine with the story of the escape. But there are many books I could write down but I will stop here.
Push yourself
What fears have you overcome and how?
The fear of trying new things. After being sick for so long I was afraid to stray outside my comfort zone. After years of trying I just couldn’t do it but finally about a year ago I started to push myself more and more outside my comfort zone. It started with making books that would help others with mental health issues. Books for coloring, books with puzzles, crosswords anything to use as a coping mechanism. I learned during my own time these things helped me. By November of last year I started a YouTube channel Emma the Mizfit. Again pushing myself further out, the channel is small. Doesn’t have many members but I did it to help others that struggle like me. It has music videos for healing that I made. I even share my own experiences. Recently, I started an Etsy store, again pushing myself out more and more. The fear of failing never entering my mind because my focus is to try and get out of my safe space. The only way to get rid of the fear is to try and overcome it. If you fail you can always try again. will it be easy no, but it’s worth trying so you can grow to become the better version of yourself. Have a blessed day.
One simple act
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
When I wake up I smile to my ceiling and thank God for another day. No matter how hard the day might be, no matter whatever it has in store for me I am happy to be alive.
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
Sabbath(Saturday) is usually my day to completely unplug from all social media, news and try to stay out of all of it. I usually enjoy spending the day listening to Christian music and just enjoying the quiet Presence of God. For me it’s important to spend the day just not engaging so much in the social media platforms because it helps me to reset my mind in a better place. I play my GOTC or KOW or just spend the day praying or reading the Bible. It helps me when the week starts again on Sunday. And for me that’s important to have that reset. I want to try to make it a whole month without having to check everything out but for now the one day a week is by far much easier. Though I sometimes fall into automatically going in the social media platforms. So I have to remind myself nope I need to leave now before I engage. Hope everyone has a blessed day.
