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!

Are you a Yes I Can! or a Yeah But... person?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Do you think you are a Yes I Can! or a "Yeah But..." person? Challenge yourself to find out. Take an empty jar, box or gift bag and on one side put "Yes I Can! and on the other side put "Yeah But...." Keep a small notepad next to it. Whenever you make an excuse or say Yeah but.... jot it on a note and place it in the container. Do the same for every Yes I Can! At the end of the day take a look and see. You could even throw a little twist into this by seeing if you hang around or interact with more Yes I Can! or Yeah But... people. Simply put the letter Y (for YES I can) on a slip and the letters YB (for Yeah But..), putting the initials of the people next to the letters is optional.
The main goal here is to bring into your awareness the difference between a Yes I Can! or Yeah But...energy and attitude.
Truth is whether you are, or hang around, a Yes I Can! or a Yeah But... person defines your belief in the Succees or Failure of You!
Affirm:
I pay attention to whether today is a Yes I Can! or a Yeah But... day.
Have a Yes I Can change Monday!

Choose where your focus goes
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today your challenge, should you decide to accept it, is to practice redirecting your focus. As you go about your day today and interact with your fellow citizens shift your focus from the negative to the positive, from fear to courage, from inertia to action, to strengths not weaknesses, to accomplishments not mistakes and appreciations not criticisms.
Every time you are about to speak, act or interact you are choosing between one or the other focus. And as you choose you set yourself up for either a positively, fun and productive day or a negative, gloomy and wasted energy day.
Affirm:
Today I redirect my focus to see only the positive in myself and everyone else.
Have a Positively Enjoyable Wednesday!

The Gifts of Challenges
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!
