  • What are all the things that you are grateful for?
  • What types of self care activities did you do for your self?

Day 272 of 2023- Sometimes its just irritating

 Hey Friends!

I am sure the title caught your eye cause sometimes some people are just irritating. I have had to deal with quite a few people today who just refused to take responsibility for what they need to do at work and kept passing it around. It got really irritating and to the point where I just stepped away from work. 

We all have had those days. There are irritating people everywhere around you and probably more so at your work. I stepped away and just focused on my breathe and now feel a lot better. I know what I need to do and will just do it. They can be who they are but there is no point in letting them ruin your entire evening. 

So step outside, take a few deep breathes and know that it will be okay. 

Have a great evening.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 268 of 2023- September Quote

 Hey Friends!

"There is a time in late September when the leaves are still green, and the days are still warm, but somehow you know that it is all about to end, as if summer was holding its breath, and when it let it out again, it would be autumn." -Sharyn McCrumb

What a great way to welcome fall for those of us who are in the season. The leaves are turning and falling which is a great reminder to let go and enjoy what the season is to bring you. 

Have a great Sunday and week ahead!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 267 of 2023-Winding down

 Hey Friends!

Good evening or morning depending on where you are. Since it is evening here and on a Saturday, a lot of us probably have plans to go out and have a good time with friends or family. Nevertheless, it is always a good idea to have a good winding down plan for the evening before your bedtime, granted this is a lot harder on the weekend. 

Even then so I do think that there are things you can do to wind down before getting to bed. For one, try to turn the T.V or any social media off at least an hour of bedtime. You can also try to read a book or take a warm bath. I know on a Saturday this may be doable if you are staying in but if you are out, you can limit your food or alcohol intake a little before you are planning to leave. We can all try to take small steps to wind down in order to have a restful night. This weekend, think about what works for you and how you can make a difference in your life to wind down and have a good nights rest. 

Have a great evening/morning.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Good early morning or evening depending on where you are. Just a reminder that today is a brand new day. Wake up with a smile and close out the day with a smile. What ever happened yesterday is done. Today is a fresh day to restart and go after your goals and dreams.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 264 of 2023- Wake up happy

 Hey Friends!

If you are an early morning person like me, wake up and give your thanks first thing in the morning. I believe the morning mindset helps to set up for the day. Be grateful and say some positive affirmations to get your day going. 

Remember to smile and if your brain tries to run all over the place thinking about the to do list for work or home, just take a few deep breathes and place your hand on your heart. Center your self every morning and keep that good feeling mindset. 

Have a great day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 263 of 2023- Take time to go outside

 Hey Friends!

Happy Tuesday! Take some time to go outside during the day. I know that today is going to be an extremely long and busy day in the office so its more important to take frequent breaks. 

Make sure you get up and walk around and if you can step outside for a bit and take in some fresh air. It does make you feel good. 

Have a great day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 261 of 2023- Albert Einstein Quote

 Hey Friends!

A great Sunday quote to remember:

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."- Albert Einstein

A good quote to remind your kids and yourself as well. Its okay to try new things and as you end the weekend think about the new things you would like to try and its okay to make mistakes. We are all human and mistakes are part of life.

Day 257 of 2023- Be mindful

 Hey Friends!

"Your mind will take the shape of what you frequently hold in thought."- Marcus Aurelius

The quote above is such a great reminder to be mindful in our thoughts. We can easily get lost in our thoughts and feeling but it is important to bring it back to an awareness of the life you want and thoughts you want to create.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 256 of 2023- A 13th century quote

 Hey Friends!

"Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder."-Rumi

The quote above is a great reminder to be careful with your words and how you say it. I recently had a family member who wrote a text in a way that came across to me like he was yelling but he said with the words and punctuation marks that made me very upset and angry. 

I chose to wait to respond and was very careful with my words to him. Its not the first time he has done this but I know now how to respond to him .

I also remember that it is how I choose to respond that will make the difference to me especially. I felt good about what I said and it does not mean that I am not angry with the angry. I am upset and very angry but I am proud of my words. I will keep throwing flowers at him or anyone else but I also know my boundaries and when it gets too much I also know what to do. 

In the meantime, keep the quote above in your mind and remember it when you need it. For me, its everyday now. 

Have a great evening.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 255 of 2023- Remember 9/11

 Hey Friends!

Today is a sad reminder of the lives lost due to this historic day. My heart goes out to all of those who lost a loved one today. Lets be gentle to each today and act with kindness. Lets be a good role model for our children and if they old enough do talk to them about this day. Its important for the children to know what happened and how we can have compassion towards each other. 

Be at peace. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 254 of 2023- Thinking about tomorrow?

 Hey Friends!

Hope you all are enjoying this Sunday. Sundays are fun day's so hope that you made good use of the weekend time. 

Here we go preparing for another Monday to start or for most of you it may already have started. As you might be dreading to start another week, think about how you can make this week fun instead. Focus on getting your mindset more positive and see if you can turnaround those dreading thoughts of starting another week and here we go to the same work again. 

It may not be the best, but just like any week, you will get through this week. You've got this!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 251 of 2023- Remember this quote

Hey Friends,

As we approach fall (depending on where you are) or any other season, it makes sense to start thinking about what this month, season or end of year will look like and this morning I was lucky to think about it and come across this quote which really sums it well.

 "I look back on my life like a good day's work — it was done and I am satisfied with it… life is what we make it, always has been, always will be."- Grandma Moses, American folk artist

Its always what we make it and will always be. Think about this for this weekend and jot down some reflection points on what this means to you.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

If you are taking the day or week to seriously, I would like you to smile. Nothing is worth for you to get all tensed so just smile. That may be hard if you are going through a hard time but see something or do something that will make you smile even for just a second. 

Have a great Wednesday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
