Anger Management

So, does anyone else get angry for no reason? Or at first thought it seems like it's because of no reason, but there's usually always an underlying reason for the way we feel and for how we act. Recently I've just been getting angry. And my mood changes within a blink of an eye. After some thoughtful alone time I think I've come up with a few answers.

Rather than telling you about my issues I'll just share the few things I'm trying to do to become more of the happy person I want to be known for.

1. Spending time with God. It seems simple enough but I haven't been doing it enough lately. I've been going through a breakup recently as well and there's nothing like a broken heart to remind you that God will NEVER break your heart. He will always be there; so it's my turn to always be within His presence.
2. Yoga. I love yoga. I will admit that I love following different yogis on Instagram. I love watching the fun and amazing things they're able to do with their bodies and it inspires me to get to that point! But what I love about yoga as well is that in order to get into a difficult pose you have to be patient and practice every day. It's kind of like golf :)
3. Planning. I like having a plan and I like having a schedule. I also enjoy the process of planning and scheduling so before I head down to Florida I am taking action and creating a plan for every aspect of my life. Granted, some plans don't work out like you had planned, but the more I'm prepared the better!

These are just a few of  the things that I am working on right now to become a happier, healthier person :)

In other news, I'll be setting my 2017 golf schedule sometime in November :) I'm really excited to get back to warmer weather and practicing every day! If you have any questions or comments or advice for me feel free to contact me!

xo, Jen

Thoughts

Hello everyone! Sorry that I have been MIA for a while. After California I took a break from golf and from blogging. The break from blogging was slightly unintentional, but I guess I didn't really have much to say or if I had something to say I didn't want to post it on here for everyone to read; I kept it all to myself, but now I have some thoughts to share and an update about golf!

So a few weeks ago Lindsey (my roommate) asked me to drive down to Florida with her and then play in a tournament. It's a long drive from Michigan to Florida and it's always better with a friend. We did the drive in one day...yes one day! But we were so happy to be back to warm and sunny weather! We were back for about two days before we headed off to Eustis, Florida for our tournament! I didn't play great and therefore missed the cut, but Lindsey played well the first two rounds, making the cut, and allowing me to be her caddie for the third round :) We had a lot of fun today, but we are thankful to be back in Sarasota especially since Hurricane Matthew is making it's way up Florida's east coast!

I am headed back home to Michigan tomorrow morning...although I don't want to go back I will be back down here soon enough!

In other news I have been reflecting a lot on my life recently. I sometimes think I'm not allowed to start over, but who says that that's true? You can always start over. With recent events that have been happening in my life I have decided to do a complete revamping of who I want to be and how I want to live life. There is a lot going on in the world right now; a lot of hate being spread around. I think the most important thing that I and any other person can do right now is to love. 

I have always been a lover and I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve which usually leads me to getting my heart broken, like recently. And recently I have again been having thoughts about shutting down and becoming cold; putting up my wall and just not letting anyone in, and then I think about that and realize that's not who I am, and that's not who God is calling me to be. I always say that I think I care too much, but I think that is exactly who I am supposed to be. I care and I love so much that when other people stop caring or stop loving it breaks my heart.

So here's to new adventures and to doing things that make me a better person :)
