Worry....

I wish people wouldn't worry so much. When you focus on that worry, you attracted and it becomes true. I know it is hard not focus on worry, trust me I know!!! BUT if you really can flip the switch and not worry... have faith. Everything will be fine. Attracted it. Want it. :)

Life is good.

Relax...

I have a sign over my office wall. It says "RELAX" then to the left of it I have one that says "BREATHE". It is the two things that I am always reminding clients to do. Relax and just breathe. I should really tape it to play over and over! ;)

Relaxing is so hard for so many. Really all it takes is a few mins of deep breathing to unwind and chill. Think about what makes you happy. Shut your eyes. See the the thing/person/place that makes you happy. Be there. Breathe..... be still.

Mini vacations :) LOL That is what I call it but it works!

Happy thursday!

quote

I'm going to be happy. I'm going to skip. I'm going to be glad. I'm going to smile a lot. I'm going to be easy. I'm going to count my blessings. I'm going to look for reasons to feel good. I'm going to dig up positive things from the past. I'm going to look for positive things where I stand. I'm going to look for positive things in the future. It is my natural state to be a happy person. It's natural for me to love and to laugh. This is what is most natural for me. I am a happy person!

Jerry and Esther Hicks


Wishing everyone a Happy Easter today! Remember attitude is half the battle! Stay positive!

Life is good...

I just need to keep repeating that today... life is good... life is good... life is good

:)

Happy wed.

Everything in this world was declared
impossible before it was actually done.
--Author Unknown

How true is that quote? At one point EVERYTHING was impossible and the dreamers/believers set out and just do it. Do they know how?? Not always. They have a vision and don't loose site of it. Amazing. Love this. So powerful!!!!

The positive high...

Have you ever noticed once you can get yourself into that "high" feeling everything just goes FANTASTIC. Even if there is something cruddy going on it just doesn't bother you. That is how I feel today!!!!

Its Friday
Last hockey this weekend (although I will really miss it)
Happy kids
Crazy hair day at school ...they made me howl
Working out and feeling good
Eating better
New friends
Old friends that ROCK
Inspiration every where around me
Spring in the air!!!


I mean seriously! I love spring!

Inspired?

I feel so inspired at the moment.  Really not sure why, but I feel creative, energetic (maybe its the 30day shred dvd i've been doing LOL) and I feel like I can take on anything! 

Don't you love when you get that kind of energy/passion?  Maybe its spring coming up that makes me feel this way?  Maybe its connecting with old and new friends who have a ton of positive energy?

Whatever it is I just want it to keep coming this direction!  Lots of new things on the horizon!!! I'm loving it! Life is good my friends..... life is good!!!!!!!!!!!

Flip the Switch

Have you read the book by Peggy McColl called "Your Destiny Switch". If you haven't, you should. I found it at Chapters in the bargain book section for 5.99 and trust me its worth WAY more then that. You can find Peggy's site here.

The book talks about how you have to "flip" that emotional switch to get a positive attitude in order to attract more positivity. Positive thinking isn't easy. Even on my bad days I find it hard, but if I managed to flip the emotional switch it really can turn around your day.

The book help me understand things I already knew, but just made it very clear. It explains in order to attract anything positive you have to be in a good emotional spot. When I say attraction I don't mean things always either. It can be people, situations, whatever. It doesn't necessarily mean material things.

She has you picture a light switch the bottom has one negative emotion Anger/anxiety/stress/fear/poor/impatience/discouraged and then see the top of the switch. It will be the opposite of the bottom. So for those it would/could be Happiness/peace/relaxation and prayer/faith/abundance/calm/inspiration.

Look at them together. Even reading the positive side makes you feel better.

I will list the negative emotion first and then the positive emotion second.

Anger - Forgiveness/Happiness
Anxiety - peace/Faith
Stress- Relaxation/Prayer
Fear - Faith
Poor - Abundance
Impatience - Calm/patience
Discouraged - Inspired

Its a good read. I will be reading mine very soon! Go out and pick up a copy! It will be the best 6 dollars you spend in a long time!!!

Gratitude

Gratitude lists.


Do you make them? I have a little blue note book that I write mine in. I was doing it daily for January and seem to have slacked off. But when I read what is in that little book it is pretty powerful. Its funny how being thankful for what you have in life attracts more good things. It works is all I know. I use to think it was fine to just keep my gratitude lists in my head, but now I realize its more powerful in written words where I can reread it often!

What do you have gratitude for? Do you write down?

A SINGLE CANDLE

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. Buddha

Just be happy

Being happy is a choice.   I read this on createablance.com and thought. Absolutely.  So why aren't more of us happy?  I put some of their suggestions into loose terms. Read through them, see if you can do any more of them and feel free to leave me your suggestions.

Live in the moment

Let go of the idea that happines = consumption 

Meditation

Ditch the 'fears'  We live with too much fear...fear of health, fear of not enough of this and that. Lose it.  

Laugh more

Get involved in the slow movement.  We're all busy I COMPLETELY get that one (hockey say no more) but I still take the time to get my family to the dinner table and eat a slow cooked meal.  I would say 5 nights a week we eat a slow cooked meal.  Get involved read up on the Slow movement.  

Love more

Twelve Commandments for a Good Life!

Twelve Commandments for a Good Life! (from Eily's blog)

1. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

2. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.

3. Don't take your self too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls on other people.

4. You can't please everyone. Don't let criticism worry you.

5. Don't let your neighbour set your standards. Be yourself.

6. Do the things your enjoy but stay out of debt.

7. Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.

8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, Avoid people that make you unhappy.

9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.

10. Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be the one who never gets over things.

11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.

12. Keep busy. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.
