Careability

I was driving today and saw this sticker on the car in front of me. The ability to care for oneself or another. I think the actual sticker said, ” I am careability.” Thank goodness someone cares today. Should be a word. It gave me a reminder as to the “why” we are here today. If we chose to be on Earth at this moment, this is the moment to shine with care. My favorite care bear back in the day was sunshine bear. It definitely didn’t match my personality. Maybe I just liked the color yellow. However, to this day, I am infatuated with the sun. I grew into it. I became a nurse and am genuine. I take pictures of the sun constantly. It is my reminder that lights shines upon us to give to others. Do I practice this all the time? Ummm…no. I had to sit with this the other day. If I am writing about positivity and relaying it to the readers, I should be exhibiting it all the time. What did I do?

First, I thought I was a fraud. Then I was thinking, “am I truly happy with myself?” Do I like where my path is headed? What can I do different? How do I stay positive? Thought overload! The first thought I had was me putting myself down. Good grief. Learned behavior from society, social media, news. As I turned on my relaxing app, and opened up a positive affirmation book, my thought process instantly changed. I had to log out to log back in. This is where my distaste for social media comes in. If you are constantly on social outlets you are logged out to avoid the life outside of your phone. Sorry, you are. Am I guilty? Yes, but for way less time. When I log out into social media, I check if there is something at work, a positive quote in my feed which would help others, or promoting my wellness coaching. I am not on there to tell the world what I did that day, weekend or what my goals are. The more you put on there, the less appealing of a person you become not only for yourself, but for others. Log in to the real life!

I run into people all the time saying they don’t have time to do things, but then I see a life story put on fakebook. The average time a person spends on social media a day is at least 2 hours. Holy crap. How could you be carebiliting others or working on personal growth during that time. Read a book. Get off the news. If one day you found out the news was fake, how much time did you spend stressing about it? Log the f out! Log into your life outside of technology. Be in the moment sharing it fully with the people around you. You don’t need to show the world how great of a person you are. You already are!! If you are inclined to keep telling people your goals or your life story, you are not happy within. Why are you not enough?

People put limits on themselves. We do. It gets too hard is what we tell ourself and you probably haven’t even tried yet. No one tells us we are going to fail. We tell ourself that. I do it. I tell my significant other, “I don’t know if I can do this.” “Uh, yeah you can.” Then I am like yeah I can, I went through nursing school and partied like a rock star during it. Sorry parents.

Read a quote the other day. “Life is the only game in which the object of the game is to learn the rules.” Ashleigh Brilliant. It’s a brilliant quote. I instantly thought hunger games, as I always do these days because I was meant to be here at this time. Learn the rules. What rules are you not following? More importantly, what rules are you not leading? Mine would be less negative head talk. Continue to care and be grateful for everything in front of me that is real. Social media is not real. Keep on keeping on. Action speaks louder than words. Lastly, you never know who is watching you, so keep your head on straight, keep calm, and express careability. Make the world a better place, that’s actually a rule.
