What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” and what got you through it?

What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?

Well I think I am living it now. The chapter is called “Ummm Now, So This Is Whats Happening”. I am pretty sure there was another time where it truly some hard years, but I am a fairly optimistic person. I am not the person to stay down long. If I am able to control the control-ables, I am usually in an okay spot.

In time, things will pass. Also being an active participant in the “now” also churns better outcomes. They won’t always be perfect, but you will get on by.

I remember the hard years were my teenage years. There was so much uncertainty and fear there. I am pretty sure it was filled with anxiety as well. Music, movies and sports kept me going. Music mainly was the driving force because there was a song for every emotion or feeling.

My college years, near the Recession 2008 was hard too. Years of college debt, low end jobs, unable to run away from family problems, again being active, having many passions, writing and music again was my saving grace to get me through.

I think I need to write music a thank you letter one of these days.

Is a little chaos actually good for us?

Is a little chaos actually good for us?

Chaos is wild to ask for, but I feel it’s inescapable. One day it will, you may not be ready, but how you act in the moment is telling. I have been through my fair share of chaos, and I felt it built me to be a better person, and professional as some of the chaos happened at work.

So I can say a dose of it is good to the right person or as a lesson if you learn and grow from it. The only time it’s not good, when things are more tragic than a chaos that can be fixed, I am just saying.

What do you do to improve your sleep?

What do you do to improve your sleep?

Rest is vital to a long life. We are awake a lot, and we need to recharge. Of course our bodies are still at work while sleeping but it’s needed.

I am not a doctor but to improve your sleep my key tips are this, find what comforts you. Surround yourself with that. I believe a good pillow and pillowcase like a breathable silk one does it for me. Know the pressure you need on your body in the terms of mattress. Those are really the physical I recommend.

For the mental and psychological, stress and a bad mindset are the enemy. Going to bed mad or angered is not ideal. Learn to let go, also be able to have good positive thoughts on what tomorrow can be, and with that add gratitude into day.

Lastly, knowing the value of rest is the most. Why the body needs it, will give you a drive to ensure you best use it to help your body.

Bonus, aromatherapy is way to improve. Having a happy home and bills paid. And you can probably guess the absolute last one, some good good good, enough said. 🙂

the elements within

Posted on by Jixi Fox

i got so use to running away
tired but i still did
i wanted to cry
but i held the tears within
trying to be better
daily
struggled so much
just to not be unhappy
i had to love the process
each moment was a reflection
every failure was a injection
a fuel
to not experience that pain
gain
so a created elements everyday
to be sane
to never complain
until i achieved

can i be honest with you?

Posted on by Jixi Fox

i felt afraid
and nervous
to reach out to you
feeling anxious
tripping over my thoughts
over thinking every angle
feeling like i failed
without trying
i wanted to tell you
you mean so much to me
i don’t have words
so i never used them

Posted on by Jixi Fox

pencil me in
better pencil your friend
count them on one hand
start over and count again
people leaving and crashing out
dang who used the eraser
get to them hard not soft
no chaser
i show up and go
as they call out
you know
who was there for the practice
if got a real friend in life
tag this
tag them
that’s your man’s
that’s your girlfriend
not many day ones
ready for the long walk
they about that action
not all talk
pencil them in
better yet
use a pen
permanent

the lesser evil

Posted on by Jixi Fox

there is chaos
in every direction
most surpass
our own comprehension
we were injected
with fear
and likes
hardly
shaken
but stirred
we all on a quest
for more
not for less
all choices
dictates a path
all things are not good
but we just want to
choose the lesser evil
