Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today is an excellent day to look at your progress on your goals and resolutions for this New Year.... Now pause for a moment, did your inner critic just get activated? Reminding you of how little progress you have actually made? Perfect! Because right now in this moment is the perfect time to tell your inner critic to sit down, be quiet and take notice that there is a brand new sheriff, YOU, in town!
Right now instead of letting your inner critic run rampant over your thoughts and feelings take a few moments to ponder this:
In reality there is no right or wrong - there is only what is working for you and not working for you - and making adjustments accordingly.
So today, remind yourself in thought, verbally and put it on paper the things that are working for you, all the ways in which you are moving forward to a better you. Now jot down only ONE thing that is NOT working for you - yes I said only ONE. Ask yourself what adjustments can I make on this one thing to either make it work for my highest good OR to let it go? It might be an attitude adjustment, time management adjustment, it might be an awareness of inner resistance, might be making your workspace more cheerful or uncluttered, might be taking a quick break to de-stress, going out into nature to clear the cobwebs from your mind, might be limiting your time in a negative environment or with an emotionally draining person. Put your solution skills to the test and find a way to make an adjustment that works FOR you.
Then remind yourself of your commitment to yourself and all the things that are working - because You are working them.
Now tell your inner critic "You're fired!"
Repeat this process as often as necessary and whittle your not working list down to almost nothing.
Affirm:
I am the C.E.O. of Me and I take charge of my life, my goals and my Mind!
Have a take charge of You Thursday!

Start a Joy ripple!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Your mission should you decide to accept it is to Scatter Joy today!
A smile on your face to all you meet. Saying "Happy Holidays!" to strangers brings the most wonderful results. Try saying the most powerful of all words "Thank You" to as many people as possible today. Random acts of Kindness are very powerful too, especially at this time of year.
Whenever I see bell ringers outside of a store I always say "Thank you for braving the cold to help other people." Sometimes I even come out of the store with a cup of hot coffee or cocoa and hand it to the person and say "Just a little something to help keep you warm"
Try it for yourself and see the immediate surprise of joy that follows.
Give the gift of a smile, a Holiday greeting, a simple Thank You or a small gesture of kindness to all you encounter today and discover that the person who receives the best gift - is you. As you warm the hearts of others your own heart warms and fills and overflows with a joy that will carry you through the day and perhaps even several days- if you let it.
Go for it- Scatter Joy today!
Have a Spread the Joy Thursday!

What's your Gratitude list today?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today's focus is on Gratitude. Just BE Grateful today. As you go through your day make a mental note to yourself as things to be grateful for appear.There will be lots and lots of things to give a word of thanks for and to express gratitude for.
That you awoke this morning and have another day of life. This country you live in, the job that you have, the paycheck that comes as a result of it, transportation to go places, the food that you eat, the farmers that grow the food, a roof over your head, heat to keep you warm, lights to see, modern technology to communicate with. Then you can expand your Gratitude outwards. Gratitude for family and friends, neighbors, for pets that keep you company and amuse you and comfort you. For municipal workers, everyone from the postal worker, to fire and police, to school bus drivers, to teachers, to doctors and nurses, to clergy.
When you really take the time to think about the hundreds, if not thousands of daily reminders of how blessed you really are, you will find it next to impossible to take things for granted or to focus on difficulty, misery or lack. When you stay focused today on Gratitude - for Everything and Everyone, see how truly wonderful and blissful your day becomes.
And then hear yourself say outloud "Thank You" or "I am so Grateful for ...."
Affirm:
Today I express Gratitude and give Thanks for everything and everyone that fills my day.
Have a truly Blessed and Thankful Thursday!

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!

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!
Have a Great Thursday!

How to have a Blessed to be You day!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today make the decision that just for this day, this 24 hours, that you are too blessed to be stressed, too happy to be sad, too hopeful to be depressed, too calm to be rattled, too cheerful to be aggravated by people, places or things, too successful to consider failure, too open to all possibilities to be stuck in a rut. Then when you experience what 24 hours of that feels like - you will decide to do it every day.
Affirm:
Today, it's good to be Me because my day is filled with blessings of happiness, hope, cheerfulness, success and serenity!
