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!

There is more than Enough

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

There is more than enough in the Universe for everyone.
Lack is only a state of mind, a belief system that was handed down to us from our childhoods.
Lack reflects a state of mind that says you are not worthy or deserving of having the best of everything- that you have to "earn" it -
whatever "it" is.

Today change your state of mind by changing that belief system. Start using the Law of Repetition that states that anything we repeatedly do, think or say on a regular, continuous basis becomes habit.

So Affirm and Repeat after me:
I am Worthy and Deserving of Health, Wealth and Well Being and there is more than enough in the Universe to go around.

Make this new thought a habit and watch your life expand abundantly in all areas!
Have a New Habit Tuesday!

Chipmunk Talk

Snapped these photos of my resident chipmunk and then started laughing. To me it looks like in the first one he is leaning over whispering to the cherub "Psst! Don't move and she won't know we are here!" And in the second one he is asking "How do you stay so still? I mean you don't even flinch- almost like a statue!"
And in this last one he says "Oops! Busted! She sees me! Gotta Go- you stay here I'll draw her away!"
And off he ran, back under the deck.

I love this little chipmunk! He is a constant source of amusement to me and a constant source of frenzied frustration to my indoor cats.

Oh the life of a chipmunk!

Be Determined!

Good Day!

Simplify your day.

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today life can be as easy or as hard as you make it. So prioritize, organize and keep it simple. Simplicity is an excellent solution to a hectic schedule. Keep your schedule and your tasks as simple as possible. If you have time consuming tasks to do then do a couple of quick easy tasks first to bolster your confidence and feel that sense of accomplishment. Keep track of the things you ARE getting done rather than all the things left to do and keep your progress momentum moving forward.
Do the best you can and Be the Best YOU today. Put up a couple of post it notes that say "Keep it Simple" to remind you.

Affirm:
     Today I keep my focus on keeping my day and my attitude easy and simple.

Have a Simplify Wednesday!

Love or Fear: Choose

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

There are only two emotions: Love and Fear. Our whole day today will consist of choosing one or the other in how we conduct ourselves, the decisions we make, how we treat others, how we speak to others and how we react to people, places and things.
Today stand strong in the face of your fears and choose Love.

Affirm:
     Today I choose Love and I am Love in Action!

Have a Tender Heart Tuesday!

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!
