Choose to make it a Great Day!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Each day is a new beginning. Today is a clean slate. You can make today a great day or a difficult day. It's your choice.

Here are some ways of making today a great day:
-Take a moment and SEE - Visualize what your great day would look like.
-Write down a couple of positive statements and post them where you can easily see them. ( today mine are "You can do it!" and " I accomplish my tasks with ease")
-Instead of a to do list start a DONE list. Write down everything you accomplish or do today-even little things.
-Set a timer for a specific amount of time to keep you on track and moving forward! (from 15 minutes to one hour)
-Use the TIMER and set a time limit for non essential things like; phone calls, internet, tv, junk mail, shopping, etc.
-Self Talk - Monitor the story you are telling yourself about today. Change "I'll never get all this done" to "I am excited to see how much I get done today!"
-FOCUS- keep your focus on the things that ARE working today and on the things you DID get done.
-Cheer Yourself on today! Don't wait for someone else instead do it yourself. As you go through your day tell yourself "way to go!" "I knew you could do it" or "Keep going you are almost there!"
And Remember:
-If you get caught up in any stress or negativity then just STOP! and start making a great day again.

Affirm:
     I am the CEO of Me and I create my best day right now in this moment!

Have a you make it great Monday!

The Toughest Critic

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

There is no tougher critic than yourSelf. Monitor your self talk today. When you hear your inner critic begin with self criticism, STOP! and override it with encouraging and confident self talk. When you hear Fear whispering and tripping you up with all those disaster scenarios, STOP! and override it with Positive Possibilities. When you hear your inner Judge jump to conclusions about others motives and agendas STOP! and override it with the question "What else could be going on?"

You are in control of your thoughts and therefore you can Choose the thoughts you think. So today practice saying STOP! to negative self talk and YES! to Thinking and Self Talking the Best about YourSelf.

Affirm:
     I Cheer myself on today with positive self talk.

Have a Be Good To Yourself Tuesday!

Hang out with Positive People

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Life is just too short and too precious to choose to spend time with people who tear you down, criticize you or drain you with negative complaining.

Realize that you can choose how and who you spend your time with. You can Choose to limit your time with those that bring you down and CHOOSE to spend more time with people who uplift you, encourage you and cheer you on in life.

Affirm:
    I surround myself with positive people and I feel the difference!

Have an Uplifting Monday!

Cheer Yourself On Vision Board

I pieced together and laid out what I wanted on my cheer Yourself On Board and then took a picture of it. Then I can remove any or all of the pieces and not worry about forgetting where everything goes.

Then I printed the picture in black and white in large size and put it next to my Vision Board so I could refer to it as I continued to create.

Then I started painting my flowers on my board. This is where I am at right now after letting it dry last night. Today I will add more flowers and add the flower details and see how I like it. I can already tell I may change my board layout as I am getting new ideas as I paint!

Will post some more later - I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Cheer Yourself On!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today is a great day to be your own cheerleader! Don't wait for someone else to boost you up today. Cheer yourself on in all you do. Tell your inner critic "You're Fired!! Tell Fear to "get out of here!"
Then start the self Cheers! Here's what your inner cheerleader says:

Be a Leader, Lead Yourself into Success!
Just do One thing, take One Step- Right Now!
Give 100% to Yourself Today!
Keep Going You Can Do It!
Act Like a Winner and So You Are!
Honor Yourself and Keep Your Commitment to You!
Following Through is a Success!
You already have Inside what it takes to Make it on the Outside!
Invest in Yourself- You Are Worth it!
Just Keep Going- you are Unstoppable!

So go ahead and cheer yourself on today- then do it- Everyday!

Have a 'Cheer'ful Weekend!
