Day 365 of 2021- New Years Eve!

 Well, we made it to the last day to 2021. Here we are enjoying the last few hours before we ring in 2022. One thing for sure is that I am really proud of writing for the last 365 days! I made a promise at the start of the year to write every single day and I kept it. 

There were so many days where I struggled to write but when I got in front to my page, I just wrote whatever came to my mind. The length never mattered to me and for me even if it was just one sentence, that was enough.

I am really proud of myself that I did it. The first step is always the hardest but you just have to take the first step. 

Reflect on all you accomplish this year and be proud of yourself. Today is not the day to be hard on yourself but to just give yourself a hug, a pat on the back, a high five and say "I did it", because you did. 

The year has not been easy on us but now we can take the memories, lessons learned and all the accomplishments and move forward to ring in the new year. 

Here are some quotes I love to reflect on for today:

"Last year's words belong to last year's language. And next year's words await another voice."- T.S Eliot

"Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us."- Hal Borland

“As the year comes to a close, it is a time for reflection – a time to release old thoughts and beliefs and forgive old hurts. Whatever has happened in the past year, the New Year brings fresh beginnings. Exciting new experiences and relationships await. Let us be thankful for the blessings of the past and the promise of the future.”-Peggy Toney Horton

“Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.”-Brad Paisley

Wishing you all a great New Years Eve!! Enjoy, party, relax, reflect and take deep breathes!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 364 of 2021- Pre New Year's Eve

 So tomorrow is New Years Eve and yes another year will be over soon. What a year its been. There have been ups and down and boy has it truly been a roller coaster with all kinds of spins and twists. 

Now we have 2022 to look forward to. I came across this quote today:

"Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final"-Rainer Maria Rilke

So no matter what comes or what has happened this year, keep living fully. 

Keep that in mind as you reflect on 2021. List everything that you are grateful for. 

Enjoy the rest of the day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 363 of 2021- 2 more days left for 2021

 Hope you all are enjoying the holidays. There are just 2 days left to the year. What is something special that you can do or start if you haven't already?

Starting the habit now will give you a head start to 2022 and remember its never too late. Also don't forget to reflect on the year and set some goals. Think about what worked and what has not. Journal some of your memories and experiences this year. Really use these last 2 days to reflect and remember before you start 2022.

Enjoy the last couple of days!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 362 of 2021- 3 more days

 Good Morning or afternoon/evening depending on where you are. Final 3 days of 2021 friends. Make the most of it. It is time to reflect on the year and really think about all the wonderful memories. Spend sometime to think about the not so great experiences and all the things that you have learned or are still learning. 

Life is a journey and it reminds me of this quote from Alfred Adler:

"The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions".

As you think about the year end and ahead, think about the quote above.

Have a wonderful day. Enjoy the last few days of vacation, make most of it and be fully present. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 361 of 2021- Final 4 days of 2021

 Happy Monday! There are only more days to 2021. Time has gone by so fast friends. Use these last few days to reflect on the year. Here are some questions to think about:

What are some lessons learned?

Things that you are grateful for?

What did you accomplish this year? What was success for you?

The goal is not to be hard on yourself but to remember to be gentle. Spend these last few days remembering and reflecting. It has been a hard year for sure with lots of struggles but we can do hard things one step at a time, one breathe at a time. 

Maximize the last few days on your self care and being fully present with loved ones. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

You will get through this and most importantly don't forget to have fun and enjoy the time. 

So what is your wish for yourself on this Christmas eve? Mine is to always remember gratitude, forgiveness and everything that I learned this year. Its to remind myself of the courage, strength and perseverance for getting through this year. 

It has been tough but I know that I can. We all can since we have done it and will continue to do it and move on step forward at a time. 

So Happy Christmas Eve and may all your dreams come true. Remember you are loved and worth it and enough.

Day 356 of 2021- 3rd wish day

 With just 3 more days to Christmas, what is your 3rd wish for yourself? Mine is to always remember love, self worth and to know that I am enough.

A lot of times I know that I tend to want to follow others or culture and that takes me out of my integrity. To know that I am alone perfect and enough just the way that I am is always a great mantra. It is also a great one to remind your kids of that. Just be you in all your lovely awesomeness!!

Enjoy the holidays my friends!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 355 of 2021-4 more days to Christmas

 Wow its almost here. I don't know about you but my kids and I are so excited. I have been thinking about my 4th wish. I hope to develop more of the skills that I need to be the best mom for my kids. 

As kids grow up I find that my focus on them changes depending on what they are going through. One of the skills would be to be more present with them and to have more one on one with them. As a mom, I obviously want the very best of everything for them and that also means letting them find their way while I am there hand in hand supporting them through their lives. It also means stepping back when I need to. 

Its so hard but I have to remember that I need to prepare them for life's ups and downs. 

What is your 4th wish? What do you wish for deep down? 

Friends, use this time to really enjoy the holidays. Be present with loves ones and just chill. 

Have a wonderful Holiday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

So 5 more days to Christmas and what is your 5th wish list for yourself. Mine is to connect more with my kids and others. It's to be always remember that everyone has struggles and how I show up everyday for the people in my like makes a huge impact. 

I know that when I stay in integrity I am able to connect more deeply. Connection is so key and its starts with self. 

Think about what's important for you. 

Have a wonderful Monday! 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

What's on your self list friends? Here is a great quote from Abraham Maslow:

 Hope you all are having a good start to the weekend. From here on out, I will share a quote that would help keep you motivated or at least give you something to think about. 

Steve Jobs has many great quotes but here's one of them:

"Stay hungry, stay foolish."

The week and month is going by so fast and before you know it school will be out for the Holiday break and it will be Christmas and the New year will be upon us. 

Time is just going by. There is still about 3 weeks left so don't forget to build in time for self care and reflection. Start to write things down as you think back about the year and also use the time to write how you can make self care a priority. 

Whenever its hump day, I tend to motivate myself a little more since Friday is almost here. Its a good day to start to reflect if you haven't already. 

Use this time friends.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 339 of 2021- As you are out and about

 Happy Sunday! 20 more days to Christmas! Its so exciting. I feel like a young kid and just love the holidays. 

So as you are out and about finishing your shopping or starting it, remember to find time to get something for yourself, as well as, time to relax and reflect.

We are get so busy running around buying gifts for everyone and just having so much to do. If you see anything that you want, get it. There are a lot of sales so get a gift for yourself to. I know you are probably waiting for someone to give it to you and that will happen but sometimes we see something nice so instead of saying no, get it for yourself. Anything you get for the holidays is additional and great. 

Remember Sunday is also the time to chill so take time to relax and reflect. Keep remembering to reflect and take inventory of how things went this year and the goals and plans you would like to set for next year. 

For now, enjoy the day. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 338 of 2021- Inventory

 Hope you all are enjoying the weekend so far. As you think about the last 3 weeks of December, take an inventory of all the things that you can have wanted to start and put a plan in place. The time to start is now. 

Spend some time reflecting on how the year went for you and note of the things that you may not have started on. Remember this exercise is for you to be gentle on yourself. Don't be hard and always be kind to you. 

Make a note of all the things that you would like to do. See if you can started on just that one small step. You need not try to start on it all at once but take the time to start on the one thing that is a high priority if you can. 

Have a great weekend!

Wising you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 329 of 2021- Happy Thanksgiving

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! 

Give thanks not just for today but for everyday. Gratitude should be a way and an attitude of life . We constantly need to remind ourselves of all the good cause if you look there is still a lot of good and a lot to be grateful for. 

Giving thanks also is not just saying thanks. Its truly a feeling. 

Feel today from your heart and give thanks. I am so grateful for so many things that it is hard to express them all here but today I will let the most important people in my life know how grateful I am.

Have a great time where ever and whoever you are with today. 

Wishing you peace, love and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 328 of 2021- All about Gratitude

Ernest Hemingway once said:

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Monita

Day 327 of 2021- Be thankful everyday

 I know its not Thanksgiving yet, but be thankful everyday. Its hard to do that when you are struggling and dealing with pain but you can still be thankful that you are waking up everyday.

Know that no matter what your pain is, what your struggle is, you will get through to the other side someday. May not be today or tomorrow or anytime soon but you will get there. 

Be grateful of who you are becoming.

Day 326 of 2021- Weeks strength words

 Know that it is a short week! Hang in there and be strong.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 325 of 2021- Get ready for the week

 Happy Sunday, Hopefully this is a short week for you with the Thanksgiving break. Take sometime today to prepare for this week especially if you are hosting or visiting family for holiday. 

When I say prepare, I am sure you know the "what or how" you need to do if you are hosting or even visiting but I am referring more to the self care and being.

It will be a busy week for sure so plan out to build sometime for yourself to chill and de stress. Take the time to work on self care and do the things that you would like to do. Now more than ever start building in that habit of self care. It can be a nice walk, exercising, reading or even going to the spa. Do what fills your cup. 

So use today and plan for your self care for next week. Mark it on your calendar and follow through with it. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 324 of 2021- Make it a great weekend

 Happy Saturday! Hope you are enjoying the weekend. With only about 5 weeks left in 2021, make it the best weekends you have had. 

Friends, 2022 is going to be here before you know it so make the most of the last few weekends that you have. Plan something fun every weekend and especially this time of the year, there are so many things and activities that you can do. 

Make the most of this holiday season and just smile, laugh and have a good time. Leave all the week stresses behind and just have fun. This time won't come back again so get out there and have a blast. I hope that when you look back next year at this time, you will remember all the good times. 

So get out there, put on your holiday sweaters, play holiday music and have a great time. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 323 of 2021- Friday's Quote

 Happy Friday! You made it through another week. Maybe try to take off work early so you can relax. Don't forget to take a deep breathe once the work day is done and just let it go.

Warren Buffet once said:

"Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago".

It goes to show that the choices we make today can have a long term effect. We may need to make sacrifices now so we enjoy our hard work later. 

Remember that as you go about your day and as you make decisions.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 322 of 2021- Changed my mind

 Good Afternoon/Evening! Or morning depending on where you are. 

Sometimes you want to do something and other times you don't. You are allowed to change your mind. I did that today since I really did not feel like doing the thing that I said yes to. I may have even disappointed a friend, but I am allowed to change my mind. 

If you change your mind on something, look to see why it changed and why you had said yes. What new piece of information do you have or did not have that made you change your mind. 

Know that it is okay to change minds and it happens all the time. It's okay to feel bad but move on. It happens and as long as you are staying true to yourself and not beating yourself up then its all good. Staying true to you is the most important. 

Have a great evening!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 321 of 2021-Almost to the end of day

 Good Afternoon to you all or at least it is where I am. So hope everyone is getting ready to wrap up the day. Its been full of ups and downs but then again isn't it always that way. 

So for your something to remember or ponder over, day to day life is always full of ups and downs. Its never easy and not always a straight road. Nevertheless, we eventually get to the end of the day and we do deal with the ups and downs. 

So no matter what, remember that the end of the day will always come. It may seem long, uneasy and just plain old hard but we will get to 5:00pm eventually. 

Remember that you are loved and enough just the way you are.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

 Good Early Saturday morning or evening depending on where you are. Up again early and probably had about 5 hours of sleep last night. Needless to say, this will be a day of napping.

 Good Tuesday afternoon! Here is an important reminder to smile and do it everyday. I know some days are a lot harder then others but smile as often as you can.

The weather is so perfect where I am and honestly just looking outside makes me smile. Of course seeing my kids just makes me smile no matter what I am going through. 

Smile at yourself in the mirror or where ever you go just smile at others. It will truly brighten up your day and mood. 

Hope you have a great rest of the day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 311 of 2021- Sunday evening

 Hope you all had a great weekend. As you get ready to start another week remember to get a good nights rest. 

Know that you can do and face anything ahead of you. Think strong and feel strong. 

A good nights rest is always helpful so go to bed at a reasonable time and get a good sleep.

Wishing you and peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 310 of 2021-Make it a fun weekend

 Good early Saturday morning! Any fun plans this weekend? I always look forward to spending time with kids and just relaxing although I do have to work for a little this morning which is never fun to do on a weekend but it is what it is. 

Sometimes you just have to make it fun and plan for it. Weekends are for chilling but make sure you build in something fun to do. It can be going to the movies, planning a family game or cooking together. I usually am so tired by the time Friday rolls around that even planning for something on the weekend sounds tiring but its not since the fun actually energizes me.

It all about the things that you want to do on a weekend that are fun and bring joy to you. Especially with the holidays coming up, there are so many fun things that you can do and plan for. Pick activities that will energize you and bring a smile on your face. 

So have fun this weekend and make the most of it. Monday will be here soon enough.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 308 of 2021-Another great quote

 Its so interesting when you come across quotes that are in a way a message that you need to listen to. I came across this one:

J.R.R. Tolkien: "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us".

Its so fitting with everything that I have been writing and thinking about. We do not have that much time left till the end of the year so decide what you want to do and go for it. 

Hope you are having a good week so far!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 307 of 2021- Hump day

 Happy Hump day! Made it through mid week. Its pretty chilly where I am but somehow given the time of the year it is, I am actually doing okay with it. Now come January and February, I will likely be miserable. Something about the holidays coming up and liking the cold at the same time. 

So have you started to think about Thanksgiving weekend? I have and we usually spend it with family. It's always nice to see and be with them. I am really looking forward to just unplugging from work.

What are your plans? Start thinking about it now if you haven't already. To me this is the most wonderful time of the year so maybe that's another reason why I am not minding the really chilly morning.

Make sure you find time to really unplug and relax. No matter what your plans, build in sometime to yourself to relax and unwind this upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. 

Start planning now so you don't loose sight of it.

Well, enjoy the rest of your day and we are almost to the end of the week friends. Hang in there.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 306 of 2021-Empty page

 Hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday! Its chilly and rainy where I am so hope that you are having better weather where you are. 

I read this quote from Jack Kerouac: "I saw my life was a vast glowing empty page and I could do anything I wanted".

All of our lives are a empty page and there is still so much that needs to be written. Use the next couple of months to write what you like for 2021. There is still time so don't think that the year is done and you can't start anything new. 

Now is the time. Use the empty page and fill it up for the next 2 months.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 305 of 2021- November 1st

 Happy Monday and here we are on November 1st. So excited for this time of the year. I love it as we get closer to the holidays. 

Here are your  Monday's strength words:

• Be kind

• Be honest

• Be proud

• Be strong

• Be humble

• Be grateful

You can list your own strength words for the week or even for the month. Start the month strong friends! You can do it. 

Have a great Monday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 304 of 2021- Last day of October

 Happy Halloween!!! Here's a funny Halloween joke I came across:

What song do vampires hate? You are my sunshine

Hope you all have fun and go trick treating. I know my kids can't wait to head out tonight.

So this is the last day of October already. The year always goes by so fast, with only about 2 months left. 

This morning I was thinking about how the month went. Reflecting is a useful exercise but don't spend to much time on what did not go well or what did not happen. Use the month to instead learn from what happened and plan for the November and December. 

Also spend sometime writing about things that you are grateful for. We can all always find things that we are grateful for. Also think about what went well this month and somethings that you would like to see happen for the next couple of months. 

I find it helpful to write things down but even if you just sit and reflect, that works to. The important thing to find the time and to make notes.

Have a great Sunday! Remember to relax and enjoy the day.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 303 of 2021- Waking up early

 Good early Saturday morning. I am up early as usual. Its interesting how the body gets into a rhythmic cycle that even on weekends I wake up early no matter how late I sleep.

Its actually great to wake up early even on weekends. I do tend to like the quiet time to myself. Something for you to think about is how you can wake up at a time where you get the time to yourself on weekends. 

It does not have to be super early but a time where you can get at least an hour to yourself. It makes a huge difference in the way you feel and your energy levels. 

So give it a try and see if it works for you. Notice the difference in how you feel.

Have a great weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 302 of 2021-Friday's Quote

 Good Friday Morning! Here is your Friday quote from James Baldwin:

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced".

The quote aligns with my prior 2 posts on still being able to start on your goal that you have set for yourself this year but just have not had the time to do it. 

A lot of our everyday life concerns and issues can only be resolved or changed if we face it. The struggle is to be able to face it. That's where courage is needed and a lot of it. Being able to look in the mirror and saying this is what I need to face and take on takes a another level of bravery. 

Think about how you can face your goals or anything else that you are dealing with. Remember, be gentle and know that you are strong.

Hope you have a great Friday and try to end work early so you can enjoy the weekend.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 301 of 2021- More on goals

 Good Evening! I wrote in my post yesterday thinking about goals for the 2 months remaining. There maybe some goals that you set at the beginning of the year or even in the last few months that you may have not started yet. 

Today I want to expand on how you can set some small goals before you reach the big goal. There maybe some big things that you wanted to achieve but have not. Its important to be gentle with yourself at all times. 

Write down 1 to 2 small goals that you know you can start now and then break them up into smaller chunks and set some timelines. More importantly, remember your why. Why did you set this goal and what is important about it. Why have you pushed it out and why is it important to start now. 

The year is not over yet friends. We still have about 60 days or less to achieve what we want to do. Don't give up now, start now where ever you are. 

Start small and take it one day at a time. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 300 of 2021-300 days of posting

 We made it through the week and I am so proud of my 300 post. I set a goal at the beginning of the year to write everyday and I have stuck to it!

It feels good to achieve the goal you have set out. Do you have any goals for the rest of the year? There are about 2 months left in the year so if there is anything that you set out to do at the beginning of the year, its not too late to at least start it. 

So tonight think about what goals you can start before year end. What are some small things that you can achieve?

Always remember to be gentle with yourself!

Peace

Day 297 of 2021- Plan for the week

 Happy Sunday evening! Hope you all are having a relaxing Sunday.

So for your something to ponder over today, think about how you can plan out for next week. Maybe jot down some things that would help ease the stress of the week. Can you plan out meals in advance or rearrange some things around so you can take sometime to relax mid week.

Planning is always helpful and we can plan for the things we have control over. It should not be stressful, but just something that you can do to prep for the week.

Otherwise, just relax and enjoy this time.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 296 of 2021- Just being myself

 Good Saturday Afternoon. Hope that the weekend is going great so far. 

If you are visiting friends or family remember to just be yourself. I met some new people yesterday and I was just myself. It was a larger crowd of people which was too much for an introverted person like myself. I did stay till majority of people started to leave and then I left.

I did not even try to be like anyone of them or try to fit in. I was just being me and kept reminding myself to just smile.

The crowd was loud and everyone was just forming their own groups to talk. I did go around and meet everyone and it was fine. I just kept saying to myself to just be yourself. I did not talk much but listened more. Overall it was nice to meet them but I was just happy to leave and come home. 

If you are introverted like me and have a hard time with loud people remember just be yourself and try to have a good time. You will get home soon enough.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 295 of 2021- Friday's Quote

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Day 294 of 2021- Close out the day with a smile

 Hello Friends! Maybe you have had a busy day, even totally crazy day with everyone just continuously getting on your last nerve, the constant demands of the day can really elevate our stress levels. 

No matter what, end the day with the smile. Today, when you log off take a deep breathe and smile. Smile at yourself in the mirror and smile at others in your family, even a stranger. 

Maybe you had bad news and can't smile, then I would say stay with whatever feeling is coming up for you at the moment. 

If you are able to, don't carry the day stress into the evening. Leave it behind and just smile.  

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 293 of 2021- Hump Day

 Good Mid morning! Another start to a week. Its going to be good cause we can all choose our attitude towards the start of the week and choose not to let things get to us.

Day 290 of 2021-Keep on

 Good Morning! Hope you are relaxing this Sunday evening or where ever you are. 

I love the reminder above about courage from Winston S. Churchill. Its the courage to wake up and face the day everyday. Its the courage to face everything you are going through and it is not something that is easy to do. Everything you do everyday counts, every single thing.

Keep moving one step at a time or as the phrase goes, keep on keeping on. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 289 of 2021- Mid month review

 Friends, its mid October already!!! Yes, only about 2.5 months to the year. So how is the month going? I always like to review the month and take a step back to see how things are going?

What are some things that you are grateful for that happened this month?

What went well?

Were there any lessons learned?

What would you like to see happen between now and the end of the month?

Take a few minutes today and reflect on some of your goals for the month or for the end of the year. 

Always remember that the reflection exercise is to be kind to yourself. 

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 288 of 2021- Happy Friday

 Good morning! We made it to Friday. Hope you have time to just chill and relax this weekend. I came across this quote in my inbox today from Oscar Wilde:

"Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes".

Such a great reminder that we are all humans and making mistakes is just part of the human experience. No one can be perfect all the time. So when we make a mistake, learn from it and move on. Its just another experience for your growth. 

Take sometime to reflect this weekend. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 287 of 2021-Pre Friday

 Good Evening Friends! Another long late day. Its easy to take the stress of the day into the evening and night but its so important to learn to let go what's happened during the day and not take the mood into the evening. 

Keep reminding yourself to let it go. I know its a lot easier said then done but just try to shake off the work stress of the day and have a relaxing evening. 

So right now, take a deep breathe and let it go. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 286 of 2021-2 days to Friday

 Good Evening! Been a crazy busy day but there are only 2 days to Friday!! We are almost there friends.

How is everything coming along? I came across this quote today from Francis Picabia:

"Our head is round so thoughts can change direction".

Stay flexible and be open to new ideas. We can all learn to change the way we see things and this quote reminds us of that everyday. 

Hang in there! Remember you've got this. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 285 of 2021-Year end coming up

 Good Tuesday morning! Certainly a busy time for all of us. I know that year end will be here soon and time will go by especially with the holidays coming up in a over a month. 

How is the day coming along so far? Today, think about how you can plan for the events coming up at the end of the year. Are you visiting families or family visiting you? How can you think about preparing for the upcoming holidays?

It could be that you are not looking to family or you are totally excited and thrilled. No matter the feeling, start to think about what's coming up for you and how you can plan for your self mentally. Its all about your mindset and things that you can do now to prepare. What do you want it to look like and how can you prepare now to show up as you want to.

Hope you have a great day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 283 of 2021- Early Sunday morning

 Good Morning friends! Yes, I know its super early but I had a really hard time sleeping last night and was up really early this morning. 

The good thing is that I stayed focused and got a long done already this morning. I know that as the day goes on, my energy levels will deplete so I am working on getting all the must do's on my list crossed of. 

If you are up early too, you may want to just stay focused and get all to do's done first thing. I am already exhausted but that feeling of accomplishment is so great. It's like fuel where I am just going and going. 

Take sometime today to plan ahead for the week. Facing Monday is probably the last thing you want to think about this morning but it helps to think about what's coming up for the week so you can plan ahead. Also don't forget, its Sunday and the most important day to get some rest, relax and recharge so you are able to face the week.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 282 of 2021- Take a nap

 Good Saturday morning! So I had a late night and was up very early morning thanks to my body's rhythm. 

The plan for today and to take a nap. How many of you are nappers? I am not a fan of taking a long nap in the afternoon's on weekend but today will be an exception. 

If you are tired and had a late night, think about taking a nap. It does not have to be long and even a short nap can be very helpful. You will likely wake up feeling more energized and able to stay up late tonight. 

So today and maybe tomorrow will be nap days. Notice how it makes you feel and if it is something that you want to think about going forward on the weekends especially for the winter.

Have a great weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 281 of 2021- Happy Friday

Day 280 of 2021- Goal to achieve by end of year

 Happy Pre Friday! We are almost to the end of the week and the end of the first week of October. Time really does go by so fast. 

I have had a lot of things on my mind. One of them being thinking about one big goal that I have been trying to achieve all year but have not been successful. With only about 2.5 months left in the year, I am really starting to feel the pressure to achieve this goal. So my homework this week is to make a plan and decide how I want to stick to it so I am able to achieve this goal.

Do you have any plans that just got pushed aside all year and maybe now you are thinking about it? What is that goal and can you come up with a plan on how you are going to achieve it? I know a lot of us tend of push things off and it is certainly easy to do but the challenge is to accomplish that one goal that is so important to you by the end of the year. 

You certainly have to be realistic about your goal. There maybe not enough time to get all of it done so set reasonable guidelines and measures of success. What would success look like if you achieve that goal by the end of the year?

I am unable to reveal at this point what my goal is but I am certainly thinking long and hard about what it is going to take to achieve it or at least reach a certain point by the end of the year. 

So the homework exercise this weekend is to really reflect on the goal and figure out a way. Hope you found this insight helpful in some way!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 278 of 2021- Do something for someone today

 Hello Friends! Hope you are having a good start to the day. For your something to ponder over today, think about doing something for someone else like asking them how are they or wishing them good morning. 

A lot of times we are so lost in our worlds so make someone's day by asking them how they are doing. Then reflect at the end of the day and note how you felt. 

We always feel better our own selves when we say hi or smile at others. Make a conscious effort today.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 277 of 2021- Monday strength words

 Happy Monday! Start your day with some strength words for yourself. We will get through the week no matter what. 

I will smile and not let anyone who does not belong in my headspace.

I will stand up straight and tall with my head held high.

I will remember how resilient I am.

This week will pass and I am going to show up as my best self everyday.

Feel free to create your own strength words. Write what feels best for you and keep reading it every single morning. 

Hang in there my friends. Know that you are loved no matter what. Have a fabulous week.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 276 of 2021-Sunday

 Happy Sunday Afternoon! Hope your day is going well and you are getting a chance to relax. I don't try to schedule anything on Sundays since I do want it to be relaxing but as you may know stuff always comes up.

Remember to set your intentions for the week. Think about how you would like to show up for yourself everyday. Write down your intentions and read them every morning. 

Setting your intentions really does help to set your mindset. It helps you to think and figure out what you want for yourself and how you can choose to react. It may seem time consuming to think about things but honestly, its one of the best things you can do for you.

Hope you have a great Sunday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 275 of 2021-Happy Saturday

Day 274 of 2021- Happy October

 Happy October! Hope you have a great month. Its a great time of the year with cooler weather. It reminds me of a quote that I recently read by Martin Luther King Jr:

"The time is always ripe to do right".

With only 3 months left in the year, now is the time my friends. Do what you need to do as now is the "ripe" time.

Set some goals this month and plan out how you would like to accomplish it. Always remember to be gentle with yourself.

Wishing you a peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 273 of 2021-Month end reflection

 Good Friday! Don't forget its month end so its time for the end of September review and October start. Its a good time to write down and reflect how September went for you, your goals, things you are grateful for and overall well-being. 

I always like to remember to not just think about all the goals that I accomplished but also reflect on how I felt and some of the areas that I need to continue to learn both personally and at my job.

Use the time for reflection and also think ahead about what you would like October to look like. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 272 of 2021-Happy National Coffee Day

 Happy Hump day! We made it to mid week. Did you know today is national coffee day?

Now, I am not a regular coffee drinker but it is fuel for a lot of us who are up so early in the morning. So I decided that I am going to have a cup of coffee today.

For coffee drinkers out there, I am sure you will be enjoying your coffee today but for those of you who are not coffee drinkers try to have a cup today if you can.

Sometimes a lot of us did something and then we move on to something else. I was a very regular coffee drinker over 15 years ago and then it just did not suit me anymore. Now I occasionally have a cup but can't do coffee everyday. 

What about you? How long have you drank coffee? How about trying a new brand or a new flavor today? Do something different rather then your usual cup of coffee. 

So friends, relax, take it easy and enjoy your cup of coffee(or tea) today.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 271 of 2021- Tired day

 Happy Tuesday. Have you ever had one of those blah days. I usually feel that way when I have not had enough sleep. 

I was so tired this morning and did not feel like waking up but did and went to the gym. It felt great during and after but I am ready for a nap. 

What do you do when you have that blah feeling? You know when you just don't feel like doing anything or talking to anyone. I find it is important to know what's causing the feeling and then try to see if you can do anything about it. What are some of the things that you do?

For me, its the lack of sleep so I know that once I am caught up on my sleep, I will be feeling a lot more better and joyful. 

So over the next few days, I have to get all caught up and then notice how I feel. 

Hope you all have a great day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 270 of 2021-Monday strength words

• I will take time for myself 

I hope you find these helpful or add your own.

Day 269 of 2021- Chill and Relax

 Good early Sunday morning! I was up super early and did not get much sleep last night. That's okay though since its Sunday and my hope is that I will get to bed early tonight. 

I hope you use today to relax and just be. Take sometime to chill on the sofa if you can even just for a a few minutes. My mind is really tired so I know that I will not be doing much of anything today.

So for you something to think about today, make it a not much of anything kind of day. Chilling and relaxing.

Remember that you need this, you are loved and are worthy of downtime.

Have a fabulous Sunday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 268 of 2021-Up early on Saturday

 Good Early Saturday morning! I have been up super early today and have a long day ahead of me. 

I read this from Alan Cohen who said "There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither."

You work so hard all week and so today, use it to rest. We all need our downtimes so make sure that you get yours. I will likely get mine tomorrow but will make sure to build in the time to rest. 

Make time for rest friends!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 266 of 2021-Learn not Loose

 Happy Thursday you all! John Maxwell said "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn". 

I love that and its a great reminder that its not about loosing but the lesson that we learn. You have to learn when you don't win and it will certainly help you get closer the next time you try. 

This really can be applied to our everyday lives. There are many times when we don't win, don't get what we want or things that don't work out the way we expected it to. It all leads to the question of what can I learn from this?

So for your something to think about today how you can learn from just the everyday things that happen? Reflect and write on it. 

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Day 265 of 2021-A relaxing evening

 Happy Hump Day! We made it through mid week. How is the weather where you are? Its raining here where I am and boy do I love the rain. Its a great day to sit on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate. 

Today for your something to think about, how can you relax this evening with your favorite cup of whatever drink you like. Maybe the weather is nice so taking a walk will be a great idea. The goal is to think about having a relaxing weekday and thinking about how you are going to spend the weekend.

Find a way to relax and have a good evening. Maybe even cook a nice meal for yourself.

Have a wonderful day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 264 of 2021-Have a good evening

 Where has the day gone. Hope you all had a great day. A lot of times when are stressed and overworked from a long day of work, its easy to just reach something unhealthy for food or snack.

I found myself doing just that. It has been a long day and I have been eating all the wrong things. So I do notice what I am doing and now that I am aware, I will be careful to not eat unhealthy snacks.

So be careful if you are stressed and become more aware of your eating habits. Pay attention and decide if it is helpful for you. 

Take it easy and have a restful night.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 261 of 2021-Happy Saturday

 Good Morning! I was out on my early morning walk today and just kept looking up at the sky. It was so beautiful to see the sunrise. 

If you are awake early  and it is daytime where you are, spend sometime looking at the sunrise. If it is night, see the stars. It helps to realize that this world we live in is so expansive and beautiful and does help to change our perspective. 

Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Get some rest.

Day 258 of 2021-September mid month review

 Its mid month review time. Think about how the month is going so far. Is there anything that you would like to accomplish by the end of this month?

How about reviewing any goals that you have or if you have had a stressful month, finding sometime to destress. How can you make time?

What about other activities that you can do to bring your stress levels down? Is there anything that you need to rearrange on your calendar?

The mid month review is to pause and see how the month is going and anything specific that you would like to see happen this month. Take sometime to journal and reflect.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 257 of 2021-Work on you

 Hello! Hope you are having a fantastic Tuesday so far. So yesterday in my post I wrote about some strength words and in it I stated to work on yourself. 

To further clarify, think about something new that you enjoy or love to learn and keep learning. You can also work on your health, building new connections or strengthening existing ones. Keep working on yourself is so personal and expansive. It does mean a whole range of things that you can work on for you. 

It includes all areas of your life and it is something that you need to be aware of and reflect on. We are always doing a lot for others but the focus has to shift to yourself.

Keep an area and think about how you can improve or start on. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Plan to make time and do the thing that you need to. Schedule it on your calendar and make the time for it. Don't put it off.

Hope you have a great Sunday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 252 of 2021- Happy Pre Friday

 We are almost to the end of the week friends. How was your week? I know its a short one and boy did the week go by fast.

So for your something to ponder about today, spend sometime thinking about how you can end the week on a positive note. If you have had a great week, think about how you can enlighten someone else's day. It could be a family member, friend or even smiling at a stranger. 

If you have had a rough week, like me, how about doing something small like smiling to a stranger or asking someone how they are doing. What other ways can you think of?  

Always end the week on a positive note if you can. It really does help you even if you don't feel it. It might just make you feel a lot better.

Have a great Thursday afternoon!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 249 of 2021- Happy Labor day

 Happy Labor day! We all have so much to be grateful for this labor day weekend. We are at a different place compared to a year ago and I know a lot of us have had a chance to get away this summer and away from zoom calls. 

I hope that you find all the ways to be grateful today. I know that I am grateful for having a job and for all of you that have a job. We are still dealing with the Delta variant but a lot has gotten better and hopefully will be getting better.

Take sometime today to just be grateful and enjoy the holiday.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 247 of 2021- Try a new food

 Hello Friends! Hope you are enjoying the long weekend. For your something to think about this weekend, how about trying a new type of food? If you are away, that may be easier to do.

How about even something as simple as trying a new topping for your sandwich or asking a friend or family member to try something new. I know a lot of people resist and can eat the same thing everyday but try to switch it up and see if you like it. 

I consider myself a foodie and love to try new things but I also know a lot of people who prefer to eat the same and not try. I always suggest making one small change. It can also be trying a new ice cream flavor or a new topping. 

There are many ways to just a new food so if you are up to it, try something new this weekend. See if you like it and even if you don't give yourself a high five for even trying!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 246 of 2021- Happy Friday!

 Happy Friday! I came across this quote from Neil Gaiman that said:

"The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before".

Hopefully you will get to relax and chill this weekend and as you do think about what you can create for yourself.

Enjoy the long weekend my friends!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 245 of 2021-Almost to the 3 day weekend

 Happy Thursday! Almost to your long weekend. I hope that you are able to wrap up most of the important things today so you can start to wind down and think about the weekend. 

For your something to ponder over today, think about how you can use this final summer long weekend to enjoy and be present as much as you can. Really soak in every moment. Labor day usually marks the end of summer so for me, I don't like the idea of summer ending but I will make the most of it and not let the last few days of summer bring me down.

So if you have no plans, think about how you can just relax while doing nothing. Maybe its catching up on your favorite shows or barbequing. Either way really use the 3 day weekend.

Hope you have a great one my friends!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 244 of 2021- Happy September

 Wow its September already!!! Where has the year gone. I always say that every year since time does go by fast. 

So what are your goals for this month? Any carry forward goals from last month that you would like to see happen this month?

Take sometime to reflect on how and what you need for yourself this month. Is it more self care, being more gentle on yourself or spending more time with family? Maybe its broader and deeper like thinking about your job or hard conversations that need to happen. 

We have a choice to keep putting it off or to face it. You can certainly ignore it but all things not tended to will eventually surface. You will at some point need to deal with the hard stuff.

I know that I am still struggling with my job and dealing with difficult personalities. I have, for now, decided to stay at least till the end of the year. It is hard but the grass is not always greener on the other side. So I know that it is something that I have on my mind and I do spend time reflecting on how I can handle my stress better when dealing with difficult personalities. 

Spending time to reflect on your goals at the start of the month will help you plan. A lot of times we don't think about spending time on ourselves. Make yourself a priority this month.

Friends, reflect and act this month. Don't give up on your goals! 

It will be a great month!!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 243 of 2021-August month end review

 Its one of my favorite times again, reflecting on month end. Here are some things for you to think about:

• So how did the month of August go for you? 

• What are some of the months highlights?

• What are some of the things that you are grateful for?

• What went well and what are some of the lessons learned?

• If you have anything that did not get accomplished, write it down.

• Any new habits or routines this month?

Taking sometime to reflect on the month really does help to put things in perspective. The goal is to be gentle with yourself and not to dwell in things that did not happen. Remember its all okay. 

You may not want to write it down but reflecting on the month will certainly help. A lot of times we are all so busy just going through the motions, but take sometime to think about all that has happened.

Hope you had a great month!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 241 of 2021-Preparation day

 Good Sunday Morning! Have you ever planned out how for your upcoming week. When we take sometime to think about what what's coming up for the week, we can be better prepared mentally to face the day.

Spending a good time of time in preparing for the week will help you be more efficient and probably save time in other areas. For example, I like to prepare meals for my family in advance so I don't have to think about it during the week. I also like to look at the calendar in advance to know of upcoming appointments. 

Small things like preparing for the week takes so much stress out during the weekdays. What other ways can you think about to prepare for your week? Jot down all the things that you have coming up and see if you can do a lot of the prep in advance to start of the week. 

We all have a lot going on and things always come up so just trying to sort out the things you know you have on your plate will help ease into the week. You can do this for yourself, work, family or any areas of your life. Sometimes looking at the list can also make you feel overwhelmed so take it one item at a time. Maybe you can't think about all the meal preps for the week so how about just starting with the first couple of days of the week.

The goal is to just do what you can but definitely think about getting a head start for the week.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 240 of 2021-Saturday start

 Happy Saturday! What a great start to the weekend. I went for my morning walk and it was so awesome. I loved it. 

How do you start your Saturdays? Do you like to go for walks or run errands first thing in the morning? I usually like to do something for me at the start of everyday before I get to the rest of the things that need to get done. 

So for your something to ponder over, think about how you can start your Saturdays doing something for you. What will that look like?

Have a great weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 238 of 2021-Back to School

 Good evening! It's so great to see kids back in school! There are many schools that have started and boy was it an exciting and nervous experience. 

I know I was both excited and nervous for them. Most kids are going back after 18 months so the change can be really hard. With being remote the last school year kids had gotten used to a very different structure compared to now being back in school.

Well most kids are very resilient so they will bounce back quickly. Sometimes its the parents that have a harder time. For those of you with kids, how did you feel when your kids went back? What does your day look like now that the kids are in school? Are you going to be able to focus more on taking care of yourself and other things that you have been putting off? I hope so.

Think about how you can now structure your time and do more things for you. What does your work schedule look like? Take sometime to reflect what back to school means for you now.

Hope you have a great evening!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 237 of 2021-Thinking ahead

 Good Morning! Today I want to challenge you to find the time and write down all the things that you would like to do or places to visit by the end of this year.

Its always fun to plan and sometimes we dream of all the things and places we want to see but never get a chance to write them down. Take sometime to write down all the things you would like checked off by the end of this year. 

Once you have that, think about how you can make your dreams a reality. What would you need to do? If there is a lot on your list, start with selecting the top 2 or 3 and note how you can make it a reality? Do you need to budget for it now? What are all the factors that come to mind?

I love to think and dream about year end vacations and it does take a lot to turn it to a reality. I am not sure where I want to go but given the opportunity, I would love to go to the beach again. If I can make that a reality, it would be the best year end gift I would give to myself.

Day 236 of 2021-Good Evening

 Ah its one of those days. Super busy and visited the new office. I had mixed feelings since the commute was so long. Totally exhausted now and ready to call it a night. 

How was your day today? If you too are feeling super exhausted, get to bed early to allow your body to recover. Have a great evening!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
