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

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!

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.

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!

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

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:

"In any moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety."

As you think about this year end and next year, remember what you are stepping into. It won't be easy but think about the alternative. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 345 of 2021- Saturday motivation

 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."

It certainly would help to stay foolish since the best ideas may be born from there. Never give up.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours.

Happy Wednesday!  Its half way through the week and almost Friday.

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

Day 341 of 2021- A reminder

 Good Tuesday! As you reflect and think about the last few days here is a reminder:

Start wherever you are!

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!

Peace
