Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
The early New Year is full of resolutions. In the Webster dictionary resolution is defined as: firmness of purpose; statement of will or intent.
To be resolute is defined as: having a fixed purpose.
So as you make your resolutions this New Year give some careful thought. Develop a clear vision of what you want to create for yourself this year. Then make the commitment to yourself to be resolute in pursuing your goals. Create a powerful statement of intention and post it where you can see it regularly.
Affirm:
I am committed and resolute in pursuing my 2012 goals. I am worthy and deserving of complete resolution in this New Year.
Have a Resolute Thursday!

Disable the inner critic with a Positive Inventory
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
As 2011 winds down we are apt to think of all the things left unfulfilled, unaccomplished or unattained. Then the inner critic grabs hold and uses these things to berate, belittle or bewilder ourselves.
An effective way to disable the critic is to spend the last few days of 2011 and take a Positive Inventory of ourselves. Focus on the things fulfilled, accomplished and attained and use these things, however small they may seem, as building blocks for the New Year.
Then make the decision to continue to build upon those with firm conviction and commitment.
The right use of Self Power is ACTION.
Affirm:
Today I take a Positive Inventory of myself so that I may take Positive Action for Positive Change for the New Year!
Have a Positive Focus Friday!

Counting your Blessings
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
There are many holidays celebrated in December around the world and right here in this country; St. Nicholas Day, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Boxing Day are just a few.
So the holiday season is in full swing. Our to do lists are full of things like gift shopping, going to the grocery store, making travel arrangements, decorating homes and businesses, baking and cooking, scheduling holiday and office parties to celebrate.
How much time will be spent on Thankfulness, Gratitude and Counting Blessings? When was the last time that you told a friend, co-worker or family member that you are Thankful for them? When was the last time you actually wrote down a Gratitude list for this time of the year? When was the last time that you asked others to share one of their Blessings with everyone?
What would your Holiday season be like if the Focus was on Gratitude, Thankfulness and Blessings instead of worrying If there is enough time to get everything done? Or if you have enough room for the family and friends at the holiday feast?
What if you just relaxed, slowed down a little and enjoyed the Holiday season for what it is supposed to be about- thankfulness and sharing bounty with all. What if you counted everyone that crosses your path today, tomorrow and all of December as a Blessing sent to you this Holiday season as an opportunity for you to say "Thank You" and share your Blessings with them all?
What would that Holiday season be like? Find out for Yourself!
Affirm:
This Holiday season I let go of stress, worry and perfectionism and I keep my focus on being Thankful, Grateful and Counting all my Blessings.
Have a truly Thankful Holiday season!
And Thank You to each of you for being a Blessing in my Life!

To Speak or not to Speak?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Afraid to speak up for yourself so you say nothing and keep quiet? Did you know that your silence provides opportunities for everyone else to make their own interpretations? And some interpretations can create bigger problems than what you started with. In silence, no one can hear and know your truth. Today focus on speaking your truth. Not just in your own head but actually saying it out loud. You can practice saying what you mean, meaning what you say and not saying it meanly.
Affirm:
My truth is: I am worth speaking up for myself!

Tis the season for Timer Zones
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought 11/31/11
We've all heard of Spring cleaning. However, the seasons have changed. We are officially into Fall with Winter and all the Holidays that go along with it not far behind. It may seem overwhleming to think about it- after all it seems that we barely have time to do the regular day to day things in our life! Don't panic! Take a deep breath in and then out- and Relax!
Today is the day!
Start with making a list. List all the things that you want to accomplish for the Fall/ Winter. This is NOT a list that is meant to get done in a day or even a week. Just take 1-3 things on your master list and put them on your daily list.
Find one thing you have been procrastinating about and take action! Set a timer for 15 minutes or maybe a half an hour and when the timer goes off - Stop! Now move on to another task. At the end of the day you will be surprised at how much you have accomplished- even if it is only one thing! That's one thing you can take off your list.
The good News is that this Saturday we set our clocks back an hour - so we get an extra hour to use! Yeah!
Keep your focus on just doing a little bit each day. Your timer will become your best friend. Your sense of accomplishment will grow each day.
So go ahead! Start with one timer zone. Invest just 15 minutes at a time and see what fabulous results happen!
Affirm:
I can accomplish all my tasks 15 minutes at a time!
Have a Multi Accomplishment Thursday!

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!

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!

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 Win-win Day!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Crisis can overtake our lives sometimes. At those times it becomes easy to focus on all the things that are not working in our lives, all the negative what if's, all the fears that get triggered and allow us to become preoccupied with stress and struggle. If we continue on this same path then crisis and fear become a habit of focus. We train ourselves to focus on the drama that is unfolding and all the potential for disaster is supplied by our mind/ego.
These are the times to retrain our brains. To shift our focus, with concentrated effort, to what IS working, to the POSITIVE possibilities that can occur, to summon the COURAGE to forge ahead instead of remaining paralyzed with fear.
The important difference between the two focuses is the difference between Victimhood and Victory. Allowing crisis to Victimize ourselves does not produce a winning solution for anything.
Today keep your focus on turning any crisis into a Winning Solution!
Affirm:
Today I seek Win-Win Solutions and I become a Winner!
Have a Victorious Wednesday!

The Clues of Focus
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today is about focus. Where is your focus?
Many times we focus on other people and what they should be doing, are not doing, are not accomplishing, or the way they are doing things. We drop into judgment and decide to spend our time, effort and energy perplexing about what is going on with "them".
What we are focusing on gives us clues about ourselves.
Perhaps the reason the focus is on someone or something else is to distract ourselves from ourselves and what we need to be doing or accomplishing.
So today become aware of when your focus shifts to someone else and ask yourself this question:
Is there something that I need to be doing, accomplishing or addressing?
When you keep your focus on yourself and what you need to accomplish for the day you will soon discover it leaves little time left over to get involved in someone else's day. And more importantly, you might find yourself too busy enjoying the results of your accomplishments to care what anyone else is doing.
Affirm:
Today I keep the Focus on me and MY goals.

Where is your Focus?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Where is your focus today? Is today happening TO you or are you making today work FOR you?
Pause today for just a few minutes and think about what you would like today to be like.
Visualize it - focus on all the things you want to take place in this next 24 hours.
This is important because usually our focus is on what we don't want to have happen today and then strangely enough those things happen.
Where focus goes, energy flows. So focus your energy on what you really want today to be like and each time some thought comes in about something you don't want - Stop yourself - and think about what you DO WANT.
Be diligent in this focus and see for yourself the difference!

That you just shut down and perhaps you even decide to let this block most everything else in your day and experience zero productivity? Well STOP! and tell yourself, "Yes I Can !"

Multi Accomplishments a few Minutes at a Time
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
We've all heard of Spring cleaning. However, the seasons have changed. We are officially into Fall with Winter and all the Holidays that go along with it not far behind. It may seem overwhleming to think about it- after all it seems that we barely have time to do the regular day to day things in our life! Don't panic! Take a deep breath in and then out- and Relax!
Today is the day!
Start with making a list. List all the things that you want to accomplish for the Fall/ Winter. This is NOT a list that is meant to get done in a day or even a week. Just take 1-3 things on your master list and put them on your daily list.
Find one thing you have been procrastinating about and take action! Set a timer for 15 minutes or maybe a half an hour and when the timer goes off - Stop! Now move on to another task. At the end of the day you will be surprised at how much you have accomplished- even if it is only one thing! That's one thing you can take off your list.
Keep your focus on just doing a little bit each day. Your timer will become your best friend. Your sense of accomplishment will grow each day.
So go ahead! Start with one timer zone. Invest just 15 minutes at a time and see what fabulous results happen!
Affirm:
I can accomplish great results in just 15 minutes at a time!

3 Kinds of Business
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
There are only 3 kinds of business you can be in - your business, someone else's business or the Universe's business. Many times we find ourselves caught up in someone else's business. Getting involved in what is going on, paying attention and focusing on our friends', family or co-workers business.
When this happens you do 2 things:
-you are ignoring your own business
-you are interfering with the Universal plans for someone else.
So today, be aware of whose business you are getting involved in. And Remember that when you get involved in someone else's business it's like you having your own store front and instead of taking care of your own business, your own customers, your own inventory, you leave your store and go into someone else's and get involved with their customers, the way they do business, paying attention to their inventory.
How do you know what is going on inside your own store? Who is taking care of your customers? Who is watching your inventory? AND how would not taking charge of your own business and staying put in someone else's store help YOUR prosperity, abundance and quality of life?
Doing this would not make good sound business sense or practice. If this routine kept up it would most likely cause your store to go OUT of business, your unhappy customers to go elsewhere, your inventory to become prey to opportunists AND you would get the reputation for being more concerned about running someone else's business than your own.
What kind of example would that be?
Affirm:
Today I keep my actions and my efforts focused on my own business!

-you are ignoring your own business
-you are interfering with the Universal plans for someone else.
So today, be aware of whose business you are getting involved in. And Remember that when you get involved in someone else's business it's like you having your own store front and instead of taking care of your own business, your own customers, your own inventory, you leave your store and go into someone else's and get involved with their customers, the way they do business, paying attention to their inventory.
How do you know what is going on inside your own store? Who is taking care of your customers? Who is watching your inventory? AND how would not taking charge of your own business and staying put in someone else's store help YOUR prosperity, abundance and quality of life?
Doing this would not make good sound business sense or practice. If this routine kept up it would most likely cause your store to go OUT of business, your unhappy customers to go elsewhere, your inventory to become prey to opportunists AND you would get the reputation for being more concerned about running someone else's business than your own.
What kind of example would that be?
Affirm:
Today I keep my actions and my efforts focused on my own business!
Have a Great Self Business Tuesday!
