Stand in the Truth of You!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Do you know what your non-negotiables in life are? If you do, do you hold strong to them or do you compromise them away?
Take a little time and ask yourself "What things in my life, what values of mine are deal breakers, are non-negotiable?" Then ask yourself "If I feel this strongly about something do I follow through and hold fast to my beliefs or do I make excuses and say "Well next time I'll say something" or "This really isn't a good time to take a stand"?
It takes courage and strength to stand up for your personal beliefs and values. It is not always comfortable however it is well worth the effort.
When you give away your power, when you compromise your values, when you negotiate on one of your non-negotiables, your body, mind and spirit lets you know right away. Your mind tells you "Why didn't you say something/do something?" The inner critic kicks in and starts the negative self talk. You feel irritable and moody.
Your body reacts with a headache, stomach ache, clenching of your jaw line. A tightness in your chest, a feeling of anger and or resentment, anxiety and Your breathing becomes shallow, not full and complete.
Your spirit calls to you. You feel out of balance, not connected or grounded. Your energy and motivation stall out.
When you stand strong in your integrity and your beliefs your mind tells you "Good for you! Way to Go!" Your body feels calm, strong, a little exhilarated for standing in your truth. You feel self assured and confident.
Your spirit soars. You feel lifted to a higher place. You are motivated and have the energy to go onto to the next set of tasks for the day.
Which results would you like? Today before you consider negotiating anything important to you, check in with your body, mind and spirit and let it guide you.
Affirm:
Today I keep my Integrity intact by walking my talk and matching up my words, my actions and my beliefs.
Have a Stand in Your Truth Monday!

24 Hours Complaint Free?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Can you go 24 hours without complaining about anything? Find out - Today challenge yourself to see if you can go a whole day without being negative or complaining about anyone or anything. Instead see if you can say something positive, productive, find a solution, pay a compliment, find a gratitude, point out something good that you noticed, something humorous; look for the good in everything and everyone today.
You will be amazed at the results. Encourage your coworkers, family, and friends to join you in this challenge. The only rule is when you catch yourself being negative or complaining - STOP! and re-frame it with something positive.
Have fun with this and don't use this exercise to beat yourself up - remember even in your own head the challenge is to stop complaining or being negative. Go for it!
Affirm:
I challenge myself to go 24 hours complaint free! I can do it!
Have a gentle discovery Tuesday!

Focus on a Solution
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
There are always solutions available to us - if we are open to finding them. Many times we get caught up in the problems and focusing on what is not working in our lives.
Just for today focus on all the things that are working in your life. When you shift your focus you may find a solution lies within the successes you do have. List the things that are working and see if a common thread appears. Is it your attitude that is working? Is it your time management? Is it your ability to lighten up and laugh at yourself? Is it your communication with others? Is it that you can remain calm in the midst of crisis? Is it that you think outside the box? Is it that you invite someone in for a fresh perspective?
Whatever is working for you, therein lies a possible solution to a current problem. IF you still cannot find a solution from what is working then consider doing the opposite of what you usually do. If you always have to stay involved consider passing it on to a friend or colleague to help. Consider consulting someone that normally you would not. If you would stay with the problem relentlessly consider taking a break, set it aside and come back to it later.
There is always a solution if your focus is on finding one.
Affirm:
Today I take what IS working in my life and apply it to something that is not and see the solution appear.
Have a Soltution Filled Wednesday!
