Apples? Oranges? Or Chocolate?

I admit it.
I am very guilty of this.

I try not to be, but it sneaks in. 

That little voice in the back of my head...

saying oh so quietly...

"Theirs is better than yours."

And I hate it! 

I want to be content with what I have. I convince myself that what I've done is good enough.

I know as well as anyone you can't compare apples to oranges. I'm a teacher remember? I thrive on knowing that each child is unique and special in their own way. 

But can I take my own advice? Heavens no.
 
For example...

I walk into my classroom, and I take a look around. Clean, organized. A few nice touches. A couple of Pinterest-inspired projects completed and on display.

Then, I walk into the room next door. And the one down the hall. And the 2 in the main hall. 

And I'm crushed.

"Theirs is better than yours."  
That haunting, taunting voice.
The polka dots, the chevron, the owls, the tissue paper...it's all so...wonderful.

And mine is not. 

Then I remind myself:
1. I'm not a 1st year teacher.
2. I'm not a childless woman.
3. I'm not single.
4. My children still live at home.
5. I've done some things, just not everything.

And most importantly--
No matter how cute a classroom may be, the teacher is what makes the difference. And I'm a darn good teacher. =)

But seriously, I find myself comparing myself to others constantly. And not just at work. 

I want to be the best housewife.

But. 
This woman is a better cook then me. This one has a more organized house. She does all homemade meals every night. Or this one is the coupon-master. You get the idea. There's always someone who can do it better.

But can anyone do ALL that You have to do for YOUR family? 
There's no one better for that role than- you guessed it- YOU. 

My results with Nerium are not obvious enough yet. Other people have had improvements much faster than I have. So, of course, I compare their success with mine, and get bummed. But I know, that whatever Nerium is supposed to do for me, it is. And someday, I'll be the orange or the apple that someone is coming themselves to. But instead of gloating in success, I'll offer them a piece of chocolate. I know how it feels.

As long as at the end of each day, I can look back and know that I gave it my best, then I am satisfied. Sure, somebody's might be better. But my life is right for me. 
  
So forget about the Oranges. The Apples.
Don't spend your days comparing yourself to other fruits. And definitely not to other people. 
If anything- eat some chocolate. That'll make you feel better. =)

 

         

 

   

YOU be the Judge!

In the mood to do a little research this evening? Allow me to do it for you! All you have to do tonight is sit back, relax, and be amazed by the results you will see from real people using NeriumAD!

Now I know I have said that I want to use as many people that I personally know to show you just how awesome Nerium is, but tonight I want to show you over and over examples of real people using Nerium. I want you to be so overwhelmed with results that YOU want to change YOUR life for the better too! 

Are you ready? Here goes!

Convinced yet? I know for me personally, I love that  Nerium doesn't just target one audience. Everybody can benefit from using it! I'm most excited to get my skin tone evened out. What are YOU most excited for Nerium to do for YOU???

Be Proud of Yourself!

Well blogging friends, guess what?
I DID IT!!!

If you remember from this post here, I had 2 goals for myself for this week.

1. Go to the gym at least 3 times a week.
2. Use NeriumAD every single night.



I successfully completed not one, but BOTH of these goals! Go ME!

And actually, even exceeded my own expectations, by going to the gym FOUR times this week!! 

It feels amazing to know that I have done 2 things for myself this week that will improve my overall well being. 

Thank you Nerium for being so easy!
And Thank You Amy (and The King) for encouraging me to not skip workouts!

   

Be Prepared!

This afternoon I spent 3 hours with a great friend. Laughing, chatting...and cooking. We are both elementary teachers and start school next week for the new year. After talking one night, we decided we wanted to "be prepared" for the approaching school year. I don't mind cooking, but I do know that after a full day of teaching, I'm ready to come home and relax. And what would be better than to open the freezer, pull out an already homemade meal, and feed my family something delicious!

Check out the shopping pic (this is just my groceries!):

And here is our table full of meals!

This was such a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon together, and I know our efforts will pay off.

All this work got me thinking about my skin care and Nerium. I feel like, at the age of 30, I don't necessarily struggle with wrinkles right now. Instead, I get to deal with discoloration. But some day I will have to face the truth of wrinkles. Using NeriumAD now is like a backup plan for my skin later! Preparing my skin for the years ahead, doing the "hard" work now, will pay off for me later. Just like an afternoon in the kitchen will be worth it later in the school year, when I'm just too busy to deal with dinner and dishes!!  

And the best part of all....there's nothing "hard" about using NeriumAD!!!! One product. Done. 

I sure love being prepared, and ready for the daily hussle and bussle I know is about to come!
