Dat 243 of 2022- End of August

 Happy last day of August! Use this day to reflect everything how the month went. There are always new lessons we learn if we pay attention. 

Use this time to list all the things that you are grateful for. Always be gentle with yourself and remind yourself that you are doing all that you can and putting forth your best no matter what your situation. 

Pay attention to all the things that did not go well either. Its okay that it did not as long as you learn and grow from it. Write down how it affected you. 

Have a great last day of August and now time to say goodbye to another month gone. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 242 of 2022- Tuesday motivation quote

 Good early morning. Another crazy day. 

"Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves"- Etty Hillesum

As you go about your day and week, find the peace within. Keep trying to do that. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 241 of 2022-Start of another week

 At times when we are so busy, its hard to just pause and take a step back. I am drowning with my work and just can't seem to catch up and I know that most of you can relate.

Its going to be a very rocky couple of months and a difficult one to get through. We all have times like that and as much as I truly hate these times, I know that there is no other choice. 

Remembering that the pain of going through the next couple months is temporary certainly helps, however, you still have to go through it. For me looking to nature throughout the day helps with going through it and keeps things in perspective. A lot of times, just looking up at the sky makes me feel better. 

Find the thing that helps you in extreme stress situations that take your mind away even for just a few minutes. It could be reading positive affirmations, listening to music or looking up at the sky. Make it a habit to take those breaks so you can truly just feel yourself. 

Hope you all have a great week and a great day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 240 of 2022- Go to bed early

 We forget how important sleep is and so as kids get back to school next week it is even more important to get the rest that you need. Get them to go to bed early so they rest up for tomorrow. 

Have a great nights rest.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours

Day 239 of 2022- Saturday motivation for your kids

 "We must have perseverance and, above all, confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained"- Marie Curie, Nobel-winning physicist and chemist

Have confidence in no matter what you are doing. As you are out enjoying this last weekend like I am before school starts remind your kids that they must believe that they are gifted and no matter what work towards attaining it. It is their one life, help them achieve what they dream. 

Have a great weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 233 of of 2022- Summing up my weekend

 To sum up my weekend at the beach, this quote says it perfectly:

“There was a magic about the sea. People were drawn to it. People wanted to love by it, swim in it, play in it, look at it. It was a living thing that was as unpredictable as a great stage actor: it could be calm and welcoming, opening its arms to embrace it’s audience one moment, but then could explode with its stormy tempers, flinging people around, wanting them out, attacking coastlines, breaking down islands.”

–Cecelia Ahern 

Oh yes, I love the beach and it was a truly magical weekend. Now its back home and getting ready for the week ahead.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Peace

Monita

Day 232 of 2022- Last weekend getaway

 This is the last weekend before school starts for my kids and we are away at the beach. Its so nice to just be at the beach and relaxing.

I find so much happiness at the beach. It really soothes my soul and its easy to just focus on the present. I never have to worry about anything when I am at the beach. 

What does the beach or any weekend getaway feel like for you? Find your happy, soothing place where you can feel like you are at the present moment and just relax. 

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 214 of 2022- Wake up early

 I love being an early riser and in the summer, its a lot easier to wake up early and sit outside to enjoy my coffee. 

If you are not an early riser, try its once and see how it feels. It does not need to be super early, but a little earlier then you normally would. It can be really refreshing and allows you to have the space and time to yourself before your day begins.

I love it a lot and hope that I get to always enjoy the early mornings for a very long time.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 213 of 2022- Its August

 Yes, time is flying by and for those of you where it is summer and school holidays, the time certainly feels like its going by even faster. Before you know it kids will be back in school.

So what is the plan for this month? Make the most of this time as its the only summer 2022 that you will ever get. 

Make the most of it and enjoy it. There is still time to go for that vacation or visit family. Make it happen.

Happy Monday and enjoy the week!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
