Day 244 of 2024- Happy Last Day of August

 Hey Friends,

Well here we are at the last day of August. Time is going by so fast. I am excited to end a month and look forward to starting another month. 

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, take sometime to note how the month went for you and the lessons learned. Its important to be able to take time to note the positives and the not so great things that happened. Take what you need, be ready to move forward and be grateful.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 242 of 2024- If you get a chance

 Hey Friends,

So I have a chance to take tomorrow off and I jumped on it. There was no second thought. If you get a chance take the time off that you need. A lot of us only take time off when we have vacations planned but the challenge is to take the time off even if you have no plans. 

We all need a days rest here and there and it can do wonders to make us feel good. So if you get a chance, plans or no plans take the day off anytime you need it. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 241 of 2024- How are you

 Hey Friends,

So how are you all doing? Truly ask yourself how you are feeling, not just today but overall. Try to name the emotion that you are feeling and write it down. Make a note of how you ae feeling. If you are feeling great well then that's great but if you are not feeling so great, then see if there is anything you can do to uplift yourself. 

Have a great evening or morning!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 240 of 2024- End your day

 Hey Friends,

As you end your day today, remember to just be thankful and take a few deep breathes. Notice how you are feeling. If you are feeling tensed then do some deep stretches to ease the tension in your body or if you have time sit in a hot tub. 

I always find it helpful to do some relaxation before ending the day and to take a few minutes and say thanks. Make it a habit. Its life changing. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 238 of 2024- First weekend since schools started

 Hey Friends,

I am sure many of you are in the same boat as I am in with kids back in school. This was the first weekend for them since they started school. 

The first few days back in school are always hard as they get adjusted to their schedules and go back to having a more structured schedule. School is certainly very demanding and they need to work hard. When I look at my kids, I keep remembering that I to work hard and not forget the resiliency that we all have in us. 

So on this Sunday, remind your kids and yourself that yes it an adjustment back to school but they can get through it and that they have the resiliency to power through everything that comes up.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 237 of 2024- Great Quote for your weekend

 Hey Friends,

Hope you are having a great Saturday. Here is a great quote by Marcel Proust:

"If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time."

My friends, you task this weekend is to dream more and to keep dreaming. I want you to dream all the things that you want in your life. Just keep having those day dreams and stay lost in them as often as you need to get what you want. 

Dream away cause that is exactly what I am doing.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

It has been a long week. I was sick all week and had to deal with a lot of deliverables. It was a tough one but we are all familiar with tough weeks. Regardless of how sick I felt, I choose to end the week with a smile and I hope you do to. 

Even though it was a rough week, I managed to get through it and did the best I could and so with that I am going to smile. We all always do our best, I hope and with that end your day with a smile to yourself and thank yourself for getting through it. 

Have a great weekend.

Day 235 of 2024- Be Gentle

 Hey Friends,

With certain people and acquittances that I know, I be to remind myself to be gentle with some of the things that they say and the way that I chose to respond.

I am really great at being gentle with my own self, my loved ones and my closest friends. There are some people and their behaviors that are hard for me to just keep my cool. But I always do and I always choose a gentle response and walk away and if I need to. 

So friends, be gentle no matter what. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 234 of 2024- Your End Of Day

Day 233 of 2024- Take Breaks

 Hey Friends,

Every now and then you need to take more frequent breaks than normal and for me this is becoming more of the case. I have been under the weather and am finding myself to take more breaks than needed which is normal when you are not well. 

Today, I decided to take a break from work and nap for 20 minutes. I could not actually nap but just lying down felt so good. I decided that from now on I do not need to be under the weather to take a break and will take breaks more frequently throughout the workdays. 

Work is just work and all of us need to add in more frequent breaks even if you don't feel like you need it. Just rest when possible and make rest one of you mottos for the rest of this year and going forward.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

May you smile when you want to yell

May you practice self care every single day

Day 231 of 2024- Don't forget

 Hey Friends!

As kids start the next school year and as we begin to get into a new season coming up in a month or so, its important not to forget your goals and to keep setting new and realistic goals with deadlines. 

Given that there are just about 4.5 months left in the year and we are more than half way through the year, think about what goals you had set at the start of the month or the year. Its never to late and its all the more important to keep them front and center. 

Keep pushing ahead my friends. You've got this.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 230 of 2024- Last Weekend Before School Starts

 Hey Friends,

So this is the last weekend for my kids before they head back to school next week. Summer has gone by so quickly so now comes another school year. 

I hope that all the kids enjoy the last weekend before school starts and that they get to just relax and have a good time with you. School is stressful so use any weekend you get to help them destress. Just sitting and enjoying the moment is also great. Its not what you do but the time that you all have together. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Turn on the music this weekend and just dance. Release all you need to and let the music heal your soul and soothe you. 

Have a great one!

Day 228 of 2024- Did you know

 Hey Friends,

So I like to learn new words as often as possible and I think we should all learn new words daily if we can. Today I came across the word "frabjous." What a great word and it means to be fabulous and joyous at the same time. 

So friends if you have ever felt fabulous and joyous at the same time you know now say to others that you are feeling frabjous. I just like saying the word whether I am feeling it or not. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 223 of 2024- Happiness Quote

 Hey Friends,

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."-Mahatma Gandhi

I love the quote above and it will now be one of my favorite quotes for the rest of this year and going forward. Harmony is key in the way we live and not living in harmony is not happiness or joy. 

Take sometime to think about the quote above and what living in harmony means to you. 

Enjoy the weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 219 of 2024- Say Goodnight

 Hello Friends,

I know its morning for some of you and its night where I am. As we get ready to wind down make it habit to say good night to your loved ones if you don't already.

I strongly believe in ending the day on a good note and saying good night puts the finale to the day. Its also important to wish good morning and good afternoon as the day starts. 

With good night, you are ending the day and moving forward to the next. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 218 of 2024- Bedtime

 Hey Friends,

We all have different bedtimes and for most of us, as much as we try to get to bed at a certain hour, things come up that can delay that time. 

One thing I found helpful if I know I am going to bed at a later time is to try and get relaxed with deep breathes before that and to change my alarm clock to make up for the time if I can. A lot of times when I go to bed later it truly affects me a lot the next day so I plan in advance for the next day and move my priorities around.

So friends when you have a later bedtime than usual, take the time to make up for the sleep or make sure to make it up sometime during the week.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

The rest is up to you and your mindset. Set your wishes for the week and push through it. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 216 of 2024- What Matters

 Hey Friends,

What matters to you most? This is something I think about constantly. What matters to me and who matters are the most important questions you need to ask yourself.

Given that there is only 4 months left in the year, really ask yourself what matters to you most. You need to be clear and list your top 5 things. Once you have that, figure out how to do more of what matters to you most. 

Friends time is on your side and to make the most of it, do what matters. 

Smile and always be grateful.

Have a great weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

As we start the month of August, take sometime to write down what you wish to happen this month. Just as you close your eyes and make a wish when you blow out a candle for your special occasion, close your eyes and make a wish for what you would like to see happen this month. 

Do you have a sense on how you would like the month to go? If so, make that wish on the ending of this month and write it down or just sit with your eyes close and think abou the ending of the month.
