Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
It's Monday! Did you refill your "inner tank" this weekend so that you started today with a fresh attitude and enthusiasm or are you running on empty?
Take time now to pause, take a slow deep breath in - and then - out. Make yourself aware and observe your habits today. Change whatever habits are not working to keep your energy and momentum going in a positive forward direction.
Remember that what you do with this Monday is setting you up for a Successful - or - Stressful rest of the week.
Affirm:
Today I take time to reflect, refresh and refill my energy tank! And I am worth it!
Have a Recharging Monday!

Express your Gratitude and Thankfulness
Happy Friday!
There is all the media hype about Black Friday starting early. Why even last weekend the sales hype was already in full gear. So that made me think.
Why not start giving the gift of Gratitude and Thankfulness early too? Start saying Happy Holidays to everyone you meet. How about saying a simple "Thank You" to people who probably don't hear it a lot. Like the postal carrier, the sanitation workers, policemen, firemen, teachers, grocery store clerks, employees who go out and get the carts from the parking lot. You could even say "Thanks" to the customer who takes their cart back to the cart corral instead of leaving it in the parking lot.
There are so many ways to express gratitude, thankfulness and appreciation. This weekend why not challenge yourself and others to see how many different ways that you can find to extend the gift of Thankfulness to as many people as possible.
Then on Sunday evening or Monday compare notes over a cup of coffee to see how many creative ways everyone came up with to spread Gratitude and Thankfulness.
And see how wonderful it feels to make a difference in someone's life by making a big impact with small and simple feel good gestures.
Affirm:
This weekend I will focus on spreading Gratitude and Thankfulness as I prepare for the Holiday.
Have a share the Gratitude Weekend!

Practice makes Habit
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today is about the Law of Repetition
Whatever you practice thinking about becomes a habit and routine that your life simply repeats, over and over.
If you are unhappy about any area of your life just examine how you have been thinking about it. Then ask yourself if you keep practicing the same thinking, same attitude, the same routine will you really have a chance of feeling better, having a happier life experience?
Today affirm:
My Life will change when my Thinking practice changes
Notice that the more you practice better thinking the better your life becomes.
Have a Thoughtful Wednesday

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!

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!
