Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Loretta LaRoche is one of my favorite people and one of her quotes inspired me today:
If you think the worst and get the worst, you suffer twice. If you think the best and get the worst, you only suffer once.
I needed to be reminded of this as I have 3 people very close to my heart that are finishing their journey here in this world and it has been difficult to keep my focus on the present moment and stay positive when I am not with them. After reading this quote this morning, I realize that the most powerful gift I am giving to them when I am with them is the gift of my love and my presence -simply sitting with them letting them know they are loved and cared about. And I realize that I can continue to hold them for now in the same loving space and keep my thoughts and focus on all the blessings, joy and love that I feel for them and let go of all the fear, worry, and sorrow. What wonderful loving energy that would be to send out to them in thoughts and prayer in this present moment until it is time to say goodbye and grieve for them when that time becomes the present moment.
Affirm:
In this present moment I will keep those I love in a sacred space of positive love and light.
Have a focus on Loving thoughts Friday!

Small Choices can have BIG consequences
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Most times we ponder about the consequences from the big choices that we make; to get married, have children, seek a new job, ask for a raise, moving to a new location, buying a car or a house,...
But what about the simple day to day choices that we make? Choices like did I choose to go to bed at a reasonable time so I got a good night sleep? Did I choose to be in a good mood or did I let something I heard on the radio or what someone said at work ruin my mood and perhaps even my day? You see a simple choice like what time I go to bed can have far reaching consequences for me and others the next day. If I am not well rested I may be impatient, grumpy, not as clear headed as I would like to be. I might be sluggish, slow to respond, I may forget or overlook something that needs to be done or addressed.
If you take the time to ponder about the consequences of your seemingly small and 'unimportant' choices how different would the day be? What choices would you make differently?
Take the time to find out. See how many of your small choices have really Big consequences.
Affirm:
Today I take the time to explore the consequences of all my choices.
Have a Thoughtful Wednesday

I AM my own Best Friend.
I AM Energized and Motivated.
I AM Capable & Confident.
I AM a Natural Winner in Life.
I AM a Success in Motion.
I AM Focused, Organized & Disciplined.
I AM a Positive & Powerful Thinker.
Today take a couple of Power breaks and say these Ten I AM Power Statements and be aware of how you feel before, during and after you say them. Jot all 10 down on several post it notes and put them where you will see them frequently; on your computer, your bathroom mirror, the fridge, your desk, in your car and in the break room. Then make the commitment that whenever you see the note you will pause and just say them silently or out loud to yourself.
Affirm:

Today is a new day!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Yesterday is over. Today is a brand new day. If you started your day today thinking about what happened yesterday and trying to rehash it, analyze it, figure it out, recriminations about all the what ifs, should haves and whys- STOP!
Yesterday is Oooover. Today is a brand new day. Focus today on what you CAN do, all the possibilities that exist in this day. Focus on how you will make today a better day, a more successful day, a prosperous day.
You can't have a better yesterday however you CAN have a better tomorrow by using Today wisely.
Affirm:
Today I invest my time and energy in the here and now as a building block for tomorrow's successes.
Have a great today and Weekend!

Taking Care of You on Purpose
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Self Care and Being Good to Ourselves is not always a priority. There are many ways to be good to ourselves, to take care of ourselves. Meditation, a nap, read a good book, go for a walk, soak in the tub, eating healthy, go to the gym, go to a cafe and read the paper or a magazine and relax with a cup of tea.
When we build our awareness and stay in the NOW we are fully present when we choose Self Care as a means to nurture ourselves, to feed our soul, to make our spirit a priority.
Then no matter what means of Self Care we choose, we choose it with the conscious intent to take time just for us.
How different would Self Care feel if before you went for a walk, read a book, went to the gym, soak in the tub, ... you first declared,
"I intentionally take this time just for me to nourish and nurture my body, soul and spirit."
Affirm:
I am worthy and deserving of intentional daily Self Care.
