Stressed Out Queen (Adjust The Crown, It's Tipping)

How to stay positively Queenzly & Royal while stressed and overwhelm, should be a piece of advice every hard working woman needs to hear. Many aspects in my life right now have contributed to this high level of stress. When focused on too many important factors in life it can be draining.

After running errands and crossing out "To-Do's" on my medium-sized list I have fallen under the evil spell of stress once again. Education and Income the two factors that are weighing heavy on this Stylista's mind. If my crown wasn't too tight and weighed a ton then I could probably breathe a little.

What is more important? An education or having a stable income to live off of?

After taking a year off from school I have claimed the year of 2015 to be by far one of the worst years ever. Could it just be that I am growing up and witnessing the struggles of an adult? Sighs. I am over life as a whole because of the constant reminders to get a job, go to school, pay your bills on time, have excellent credit, and still conduct yourself like a "lady."

The hassle of registering for classes on time after fulfilling financial obligations was the ultimate 2015 goal. Yet I had a major setback and now I am dealing with the repercussions. I am not one hundred percent prepared for school yet. I have been working long and hard preparing for another major step in my life. Removing my focus from my education. "Money makes this world go round," so they say.

Being that I wasn't in school for almost a decade, which is what it felt like, I made it my duty to get a job in my field of study. Part time sales associate, with hopes of moving up in the company came a little too soon. A career that can take me to the next level at a young age. Yet my educational obligations aren't satisfied. Ugh. How do you choose? In my mind I believe I can do both school and work full-time. Yet I am stuck.

I expected to take majority online classes. However registering for classes late put me with the bottom of the barrel classes. Now my 40hour week work schedule has to get cut. My crown is falling off. I need to compose myself like a woman of royalty.

I need to complete these two semesters in order to have a degree. Yet I need this position in order to not only make more money but to prepare me for future endeavors. Again my crown is tighter than ever, my brain is going to explode. Why is everything in this lifetime so difficult? I feel as though nothing good lasts forever.

I am trying to make it in the industry and not lose my true individuality. Who am I pleasing here? Is it self, family, society, friends? At times I just want to drop everything move far away and not look back. Yet again, how realistic is that? Who do I run to in times like this?

Any decision I make can ruin my future. If I quit my job or say no to moving up, that offer may never show its face again. If I hold off on school for another semester or two I will never return. This entire dilemma is saddening being that I want it all to work out. I just want to be happy.

Again my daily motivation I know, " With Christ Who Strengthens Me All Things Are Possible."
