    8 Mindset Secrets For Success

    February 6, 2020 /

    SUCCESS! I need it! I gotta have it! Success begets success. It motivates. It builds confidence. It fuels action. Like laughter, it’s contagious. Different people measure success in a whole range of different ways. To some, success might mean opening their own business or getting a promotion at work, while to others it could be passing an exam with a high mark, finally buying their first home or car, or even managing to hit their savings goal.  In every walk of life, there is success to be had – whether it be at work or school, at home, within your relationships and friendships or even with your finances.  At the core of…

    You’re tired and feeling a little “blah.” You are thinking about all the things you must get done before calling it a day. You decided to stop by the mailbox-something you don’t do every day because more than likely, it’s filled with a bunch of junk mail. Like most of us, you stand there mindlessly sifting through advertisements, coupons, life insurance offers, credit card applications, and something stops you. Like a foreign object, you stare at it suspiciously.  You look carefully at the front and then slowly flip it over and look at the back. “It’s a card of some sort,” you think to yourself. “Why would ‘so and so’…

    8 Tips For Avoiding the Holiday Blues

    November 20, 2019 /

    Occasionally, we find ourselves not in the best of moods. There’s nothing wrong with being a little melancholy sometimes.  It happens. Ironically, this is considered “the most wonderful time of the year,” but every one doesn’t feel that way. Some people suffer from what is called the Holiday Blues. Some people tend to be more stressed, anxious, lonely, and depressed between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day (psychologytoday.com). So let’s tackle these emotions before they take a toll on you and ruin your holidays and your future by misleading you to believe there’s nothing to be grateful for. First take into consideration these suggestions from the Mayo Clinic website: Acknowledge your…

    Tips For Using A Gratitude Journal

    November 19, 2019 /

    There have been many instances where I’ve used journal writing to help me get through tough times and to develop a more positive mindset. I can recall a time when my husband and I were stuck with a mortgage and paying rent for an apartment. The sale of our house fell through the day of closing. That was a tough time for us financially which put a toll on our marriage. I felt guilty because it was my idea to sell our house, and I was angry because the couple selfishly decided they didn’t want to purchase the house at the very last moment. As you can imagine, it was…

    Oh my goodness! Sometimes life can be so hectic; we don’t know if we’re coming or going. There aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done and keep our sanity. So how dare I suggest that you take a few minutes at the beginning and end of your day to practice gratitude? “Who has time for that?” Believe it or not, you do. One really easy way to get started on a gratitude practice is to make a habit of counting your blessings both morning and night. You don’t even have to write them down, as in a gratitude journal, if that seems too overwhelming.  Simply taking a…

    What A Difference A Bit Of Gratitude Makes

    November 17, 2019 /

    You may be thinking “Who doesn’t know what gratitude is?” And I would say, “Probably no one.” “So, why do a 7 Day Gratitude Challenge?” Not knowing the answer to that question is the very reason you should do the challenge. A little bit of gratitude goes a long way. Gratitude can be simply broken down to appreciating the good things in your life. It doesn’t always seem simple, though. When things are hectic or stressful, finding the silver lining can be…well- challenging.  However, learning how to embrace gratitude can significantly boost your happiness. Likewise, being grateful offers a host of other benefits you’re probably not aware of, unless you…

    Self-Improvement Is Calling You

    April 17, 2019 /

    I absolutely love The Journey by  Mary Oliver! Yes, I know. The poem often appears in self-help books or on self-development websites, and in my opinion, it should. Why? Because it is a reflection of my own story.  There was a time in my life I felt unfulfilled although I was a mom, wife, friend, etc. I had a good job and a decent social circle. For the most part, life was good. However, an emptiness still existed. It was an emptiness I couldn’t really identify. This feeling existed for some time even though I tried to ignore it. I told myself that I shouldn’t feel this way. I am…
