Letting go of Perfectionism

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought :

Perfectionism is about a feeling of not being good enough, right enough, smart enough; a feeling of having to compensate for lack. Doing the comparison game with others to see if you did more or less than they did.
Gratitude allows for the gift of Acceptance. Accepting that you ARE good enough, smart enough, doing enough. Gratitude keeps your focus on Appreciation for who You are and the things You have accomplished, the good coming into your life.
Gratitude keeps your heart open. When your heart is open you see yourself and everyone else through a softer, lighter lens. When you maintain Gratitude AND an Open Heart then Life becomes 'very good', not perfect but Good Enough.

Affirm:
    Today I Am Grateful to be Me and I AM good enough and I AM okay with Me!

Have a Very Good Friday!

Make today a Great Day!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

And that is the message today. Make today a good day - even a great day! You can do it because the difference between a good day or a bad day is all in the way that you think about today. Thinking positively allows you to view any speed bumps as opportunities to use your problem solving abilities, to get creative, improve your patience, fine tune your communication skills, delegate some tasks off your lengthy to do list and keep your attitude from spiraling downward into negativity.

Affirm:
No matter what happens I will keep my thoughts and actions on turning today into a great day!

Challenges provide Gratitude moments

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Whatever challenges you are facing today know that you are strong and capable and you will get through it. And for every challenge you face there is always an opportunity for more knowledge, more experience and more valuable lessons.
There is also the opportunity for Gratitude. Gratitude is a powerful skill that turns regrets and remorse into a Grateful Heart and Mind. Gratitude allows you to move forward in spite of fear and failure. In every challenge lies a gift or a blessing that would not be found without a perspective of Gratitude.

Today challenge yourself to find things to be Grateful for. Then see what Blessings unfold for you!

Affirm:
   Every challenge provides me with Opportunities, Blessings and Gratitudes!

Have a Grateful Tuesday!

Attitude Adjustment

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

What you resist shall persist. Reality IS reality and trying to force a change in your reality creates chaos for you. Rather, change the way you look at your reality, then your whole perception changes and you may just find something that actually can be changed for the better.

Affirm:
Today my reality works better for me when I change the things that I can change, like my attitude towards my reality.

Have a new view Thursday!
