Day 213 of 2024- End of July

 Hey Friends,

Happy end of July. How did the month go for you? What was your biggest challenge? What was your happy moment?

Take sometime to review the month and think about the questions. It helps to take a step back and look at all the things that happened and then you take the lessons and move forward. 

Friends, make sure you reflect, give thanks and pause. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 212 of 2024- Keep In Mind

 Hey Friends,

As we approach the end of July and as I return home after being away for 2 weeks, I am thinking about the end of the month and the year approaching quickly. 

So make a promise to yourself to make a list of things that you want to do for the remainder of the year. What are the self care things that you need. Keep going strong!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 211 of 2024- As I head Back

 Hey Friends,

I came across this quote that is really applicable with where I am in life:

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” — Wayne Gretzky

This quote is for everyone no matter where you are in life. For me this one is a constant reminder that life is short and if I don't take my shots now, then when. That goes for the same of you all!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 210 of 2024- A lesson

 Hey Friends,

The one thing I think is important for leadership is to be more mindful in their words whether it is live or over email.

Since I am away, I texted my leader to let her know about my return plans. She immediately responded with things that are upcoming on the calendar instead of even asking how I am doing or maybe even just waiting till I am back since I really can't do much where I am. But that was not the case. 

So you really can't control how the leaders lead but I did choose to not let her affect me in anyway. This was a lesson about character and now I know how to respond. Friends, this is also life right. You really can't help how people are but you can truly control you. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 209 of 2024- Current Challenge

 Hey Friends,

As I am away I could not help but think about my current challenge. I know that being away has made my diet really difficult to follow and I have been eating things I really should not. 

Because I know that this is temporary, I also know that my current challenge is to figure out how to get back on track. I know that I can do it but coming up with a plan and sticking to it is absolutely key. 

So today, think about your current challenge and think about a plan to deal with the challenge. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 197 of 2024- Go For A Walk

 Hey Friends,

With so much going on and having to deal with work and life, I am going to use the next few posts to give a tip for managing stress.

Another thing that I find helpful when I am feeling stressed is to go for a walk outdoors. Nature is healing and for me taking a walk just helps me relax and hence lowers my stress levels. So if you can go out and walk even if the weather is cold and note how that makes you feel.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 196 of 2024- One Helpful Thing When Stressed

 Hey Friends,

Hope you all are having a good weekend. I know that mine is extremely stressful with the world events and other things.

The one thing that I am finding helpful during these moments is to just take a minute to breathe. I am trying to do deep breathes every minute when I feel the stress levels going high. This is helped me bring the stress levels down so I can focus more on what I need to do.

So the tip of the day is to do one minute deep breathing exercise every time you remember or create a reminder to take the time to breathe. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 193 of 2024- Keep it light

 Hey Friends,

As we approach the end of the week, try to keep things light. I try to keep my work as light as I can but things always come up and depending on the month it is really hard to keep things light. 

However, there are many times when I can keep it light and I rearrange my schedule as needed. So when you can, keep things light.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

It is summer here and I love seeing little kids jump in the pool and have fun. A lot of people are taking off this time of the year to enjoy vacations with their kids and be at the pool. 

Summer time goes by so quickly. Today is a reminder to enjoy the long daylight days. Go out, exercise outdoors, meet other people and soak in the warmth.

Day 191 of 2024- Mornings

 Hey Friends!

The joys of working out in the morning never fail to life my spirits up. I always look forward to getting up and get moving. I tend to find that having my mindset ready to go to the gym right after my morning coffee really does keep me on track. 

As long as you are doing what you need to to get your day started and your spirits up, don't miss it. Keep your routine on track and it will help to set you up for the day. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 190 of 2024- Feeling Monday Blues

 Hey Friends,

Hope you all are having a great start to the week. If you are feeling the Monday blues, like I am, take a few minutes to yourself and figure out what's going on. 

I woke up this morning feeling a little tired and just so out of it. I went to the gym and that helped but what helped more was not logging on to to work right away but practicing some deep breathing and positive affirmations. 

So if you are having a hard start to Monday then just take sometime to readjust yourself with deep breathes and positive talk and see how you feel. 

Have a great Monday and rest of the week!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 189 of 2024- Enjoy Your Sunday Morning Coffee/Tea

 Hey Friends,

Sunday is the perfect day to truly just sit and enjoy your cup of coffee/tea or whatever you have. I have always set aside more time on Sunday mornings to relax and enjoy my coffee. 

A lot of time I reheat it many times so I an enjoy each sip slowly. I purposely wake up early on Sundays just to have that extra time with my coffee. There's something so soothing to just take take one small sip at a time.

So friends, no matter what your Sunday holds, try to wake up a few minutes early to just enjoy your morning beverage. It sets the day and gets you mentally ready for the upcoming week as well. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 188 of 2024- Pushing Myself

 Hello Friends!

So I am really proud of pushing myself to go for a walk. I did not get time this morning and thought to myself that I would go later in the evening. 

So the evening rolls around and I start making excuses. I went down the path of how hot it is outside, how I had to do the dishes and wanted to read. Instead of listening to those excuses, I put on my shoes and went for the walk. 

It felt so good when I completed the walk! I felt really proud of pushing myself and overcoming my excuses. It truly felt great. 

So if you find yourself making excuses and not pushing yourself, just take the one small step. Put your shoes on and just step outside. Every step counts. 

Hope you are having a great Saturday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Have a great weekend!

Day 186 of 2024- Use The Time

 Hey Friends,

A lot us have probably not truly let it sink in that there are only 6 months left in the year. Remember that time is a valuable resource and how you use it is entirely up to you. I always try to remember that I can control a lot of my time and want to make sure that it is used wisely and that I spend time doing quality things that matter. 

Hope you have a great Thursday.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 184 of 2024- Tuesday Quote

 Hey Friends,

As we begin July, here is a quote to keep in mind:

"It is better to know some of the questions, than all of the answers."-James Thurber

As you go through this month and the rest of the year, stay curious and keep willing to grow and learn. Keep questioning things and think about how you can come up with a question. This requires you to be more open but that is the point. You want to stay open and that's where the questions will come. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 183 of 2024- Hello July!

 Hello Friends,

And welcome to July 1st! We are here at the halfway mark of the year. So some thoughts on approaching this month and remaining of the year:

What are things that you have not started yet?

What habits would you like to build over the next 6 months?

How is your day to day life?

Do you need to make any changes professionally or personally?

These are big questions so take your time to answer them for yourself. Take a piece of paper and spend sometime writing out your thoughts on the questions above. 

I hope you have a great rest of July and the year. Remember, it never to late and don't give up. There is still a lot of time left in the year so go for it. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita
