Welcome to my blog! My name is Mary Ellen Pierce and I want to invite you to Get Jazzed & Joyful about who you are, every day in every way! I believe that no matter what you do in life, it is important to believe in yourself and your goals and to realize it's okay to enjoy the journey and have fun along the way!
Along my journey I have discovered my inner artist to help me create expressions of myself using collage, altered art, mixed media and scrapbook techniques. I have enlisted the aid of my inner cheerleader to keep me motivated to be the Best ME that I can be!
And I want to inspire others to realize that when you get Jazzed and Joyful about being You, then what you do will turn into success, prosperity and happiness!

Relax & Be Yourself!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
It is very stressful to try to live up to everyone else's standards for you, to people please, over commit because you're afraid to say No, do things out of guilt rather than free will, hold back your own thoughts and feelings because someone may not like or agree with you.

Just for today try something different. Be your version of you, please yourself, commit only to what you really want to do, speak your thoughts and share your feelings with truth and love.
Just for today - relax and Be You! After all no one can tell you you're doing it wrong because you're the expert on you!

Have a Be True to You Monday!

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!

Stand in your Truth

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Do you know what your non-negotiables in life are? If you do, do you hold strong to them or do you compromise them away?
Take a little time and ask yourself "What things in my life, what values of mine are deal breakers, are non-negotiable?" Then ask yourself "If I feel this strongly about something do I follow through and hold fast to my beliefs or do I make excuses and say "Well next time I'll say something" or "This really isn't a good time to take a stand"?
It takes courage and strength to stand up for your personal beliefs and values. It is not always comfortable however it is well worth the effort.

When you give away your power, when you compromise your values, when you negotiate on one of your non-negotiables, your body, mind and spirit lets you know right away. Your mind tells you "Why didn't you say something/do something?" The inner critic kicks in and starts the negative self talk. You feel irritable and moody.
Your body reacts with a headache, stomach ache, clenching of your jaw line. A tightness in your chest, a feeling of anger and or resentment, and anxiety. Your breathing becomes shallow, not full and complete.
Your spirit calls to you. You feel out of balance, not connected or grounded. Your energy and motivation stall out.
When you stand strong in your integrity and your beliefs your mind tells you "Good for you! Way to Go!" Your body feels calm, strong, a little exhilarated for standing in your truth. You feel self assured and confident.
Your spirit soars. You feel lifted to a higher place. You are motivated and have the energy to go onto to the next set of tasks for the day.

Which results would you like? Today before you consider negotiating anything important to you, check in with your body, mind and spirit and let it guide you.

Affirm:
Today I keep my Integrity intact by walking my talk and matching up my thoughts, my words and my actions.

Have a Stand in Your Truth Monday!

Walk your Talk

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Your actions demonstrate the truth of your words.
So become aware and pay attention to your own words and see if your actions match up with them. If not, ask yourself why. Did you say yes when you meant no? Were you people pleasing? Were you afraid of confrontation and said whatever it took to avoid it? Did you have good inentions but allow fear to stop you?
There's a good reason for the saying "Actions speak louder than words." People hear your words and see your actions. Do you follow through on your talk or are you someone who is a lot of talk and little action? Discover what areas of your life may need to be aligned and matched up.
Sometimes just becoming aware that our words and our actions are not matched up motivate a self change. Don't beat yourself up with your discovery simply use it to make an adjustment that will enhance your personal integrity.

Affirm:
     Today I practice self awareness so that I align my walk with my talk.

Do you have a support network?

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today's focus is on your support network. Who are the people that you can count on to raise your spirits, that support your greatest good, that will tell you the truth, speak from their heart to yours. People that are positive, that cheer you on in your dreams and goals.
People that when you get done talking to them you feel better, you are in a better mood, you feel good about you.
Hang onto those people that exist right now for you and that you feel support you with positivity, truth and love. And then set your intention to draw into your support network more of the same.

Affirm:
Today I look for and seek out people that are positive, healthy and nurturing for my positive support network!

Have a Positively Terrific Tuesday!

Is what you say, what you do? Today Practice what you preach and walk your talk. Otherwise, you might as well say "Here take my advice, because I'm not using it."

Affirm:
     Today I focus on keeping my words and actions consistent.

Have a Consistent You Monday!
