My first writings by Monica JC https://padlet.com/MonicaJC/writings Life is full of messages... Don't miss them en-us 2017-04-21 19:09:13 UTC 2025-12-15 19:08:19 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lovecoffee.png Pamper Yourself MonicaJC https://padlet.com/MonicaJC/writings/wish/167576819 Two days ago, I decided to punish myself for not finishing my daily tasks... Everyday I have my work duties, my studying, books to read and more and more tasks. I was in a bad mood, very down and depressed. The plan was that if I finished all my tasks, I will go see a movie and have some quality time in any place I love. But since I didn't finish my tasks, I didn't go anywhere in attempt to give me a new chance to finish the tasks.

Actually, I didn't.

Punish didn't work... I was more down  and more depressed.

Since I work with kids, I started thinking this way:
" If I have a child who is misbehaving in the class, what will I do?" and the answer came: 
"I will go beyond the behavior and deal with the reason. May be she just needs more quality time or needs to feel safe. May be she doesn't feel OK and so she is misbehaving."

So I decided to do the same with my little child inside... 

I went out, enjoyed quality time with my favorite book drinking my favorite drink and I went to see the movie I love. 

I was feeling great... Just like a little child... and guess what?
It worked. I am very excited today and I am able to do my tasks while I am relaxed not stressed.

So, here is my message for today:
"When punish doesn't work, pampering will... Don't go for punish in the first place... Go for the reason beyond... Yes, the good movie or the drink may not be what YOU need... Search inside you for what you really need... Listen to your child and this child will SURPRISE you."

In the middle of the sea...
On one side I was just enjoying the endless view of the sea.
On the other side, there was the mountain with its outstanding details.
Looking down, I saw how the waves were hitting the boat.

Here, I stopped to think... What can make someone feel afraid in the middle of this beauty?
How can I feel afraid while I am in the midst of such a masterpiece?
I figured it out that it is all about how I see the sea...
Which direction I choose to look at...
My own perspective is what really matters.
Whether I look down and guess how scaring these waves are and how they can be strong.
Or look from above... From higher perspective to enjoy the overall view.

You can't change the sea of your life...
You can only change your perspective... The way you look...
May be you are in the middle of the sea and not in a boat...
I can't deny that the waves may be high and really scary
but I assure you that if you kept expecting the next wave
and guessing how hard it will be, you will always feel stressed.

Here comes my message for today:

You need to look up... to a higher perspective...
God's perspective...
What HE sees is what matters... He sees the full picture...
He made your life a MASTERPIECE and He won't give up on this...
So either you choose His view or keep yours.
What is really guaranteed is that His perspective is amazing...
You will be surprised by what you will see if you choose to wear His glasses.

Don't miss these surprises.
