Serious Investigators for Serious Crimes

Lights, Camera, DRAMA!

THIS POST IS NOT MEANT TO OFFEND ANYONE! I'VE JUST NOTICED THAT IT'S A BIG ISSUE AT THE MOMENT!
    
    Do you know what I can't stand? People who love to create drama for themselves and for others. These are normally the ones who say "I hate drama it follows me everywhere!" wait . . .  stop . . . did you see that!? You HATE drama and yet it FOLLOWS you everywhere. Really? Maybe you should stop, think for a second. Why is it that I always have drama? Then ask "do I find it?" or "does it just find me?" If you think it's the second one, most likely you're wrong. It's the first. 


Now that we've found the root of the problem, the next step is correct it. If you want a drama-free life here's a few tips that you can try.


1. If you have a problem with someone address it. Don't wait for it to boil inside of you for years and years to come. And don't say "it's not worth the confrontation" it doesn't have to be a confrontation, just use your nice words. 


2. Don't lie. That's obvious enough! 


3. If you know someone is not good for you to associate with, then don't continue to associate with them. DUH! However keep in mind that you should not be the one to determine for the world if that person is good or not. Slandering someone's name is NEVER something to be proud of. 


4. Think twice before you do something major. You need to think of how it will affect others (same applies to what you say). 

We are honored to inform you that you are ACCEPTED!

    So what is one of the biggest problems people face all over the world? Acceptance! This post is more about accepting yourself. Hating oneself has really become a horrible epidemic. I must admit I was the same. I honestly hated how shy I was and on top of that I have no supermodel body. And even though people tell me I'm beautiful inside and out I never could believe it. It wasn't until recently that I dissected the true meaning of confidence. 

    

    According to Dictionary.com confidence is "full trust, belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities". That made me think: do I fully trust myself? do I believe in myself? If I didn't believe or trust in myself then who will do it for me? I knew I needed to make a change in the way I saw myself. 

    Here's how I changed my point of view, but please note that this might not work for everyone!

1. Call your voicemail and leave yourself a message! Tell yourself positive things and be honest with yourself. If you have nothing positive in the beginning try the other steps and then come back to this one.

2. Avoid looking excessively into mirrors. I'm definitely not telling you to avoid mirrors altogether, but don't always check your reflection. I have a mirror in my room, when I walk down the sidewalk and I see a building with a reflective window I used to stare. Anywhere there was a mirror I would look just to make sure nothing was wrong. The more I looked the more flaws I would see. 

3. Realize you can do anything you set your mind to. Just use youtube! Today there are soooooo many how-to videos on youtube! If you want an opinion on new makeup looks to try, go on youtube. If you want to lose weight, go on youtube and watch inspirational results! You can even learn how-to: cook, play the guitar, dance, etc.

4. Splurge and treat yourself! You deserve to take a breather. Go buy those killer shoes you saw in the window display, release your tension and get a full body massage! Or even eat that whole chocolate bar! Once in a while it's okay to splurge on yourself.

5. Eliminate the toxins of life. It could be a bad habit. Surround yourself with positivity. Work on step-by step progression. Don't rush a change if you want it to last! Get support from family and friends. 

6. You should be feeling a little more confident by now. The final step is to make the confidence NOTICEABLE! Start with a smile. Make sure you don't leave the house until you have a huge smile on your beautiful face! :)
