Make everyday a holiday...

Have you ever said to yourself or others, "I sooo need a holiday"? I know I have and I still do but why should we wait for a holiday to do all the things we 'need' when we say this! We can incorporate little things into our daily life to make things easier, so then, the only reason we go on holiday is to see places we want to see and experience things we want to experience in certain places. 

For example if you keep yourself so busy, the main thing you crave on a holiday is most likely a total relaxation fest, where you can just switch off and do next to nothing. Well how about you incorporate 20 mins of meditation or down time into your day where you do just that. I can guarantee by doing this you will feel less of a need for that type of holiday...
Whether you like the mountains, lakes, or the beach, make time to go there on your days off, take mini breaks away.

It's like working your best years to the bone in a job you can't stand so you can enjoy a retirement when your older. What if you were doing what you loved everyday of your life right now, would you want to retire then? I remember talking to someone who is loving what they do every day, this person takes mini retirements while they're still young enough to enjoy it and they just continue doing what they love....

Just a little something to think about;-)

Have an Empowered Week:-)

Keep the faith :-)

There are a few things happening in my life at the moment, which are requiring me to keep the faith. I know certain things happen and it sometimes makes it hard to do so but having total trust and faith in whatever happens is the key. 

Faith will change conditions for you....Doubts and fears impress negative pictures on the mind and bring lack, limitation or disaster.

In the word of Florence Scovel Shinn, "The experiences you meet in life are your own creations. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "A man's life is the history of his fears." Why not make it the history of your faith so someday you can say,"This is the health that faith built! This is the wealth that faith built! This is the success and happiness that faith built!" 

Faith is simply knowing that it can happen, that things can be done. Every unpleasant condition in your life is the result of a lack of faith. Follow your intuition and prepare for all the great things you've asked for, regardless of what else is going on around you.

Move with certainty and be sure of yourself. Only fear can hold you back, when you know there's no such thing as a wrong decision, you will trust yourself quite happily. Let go, allow and flow, you never know you might just enjoy it :-)

Have an Empowered and Faithful Week :-)

Keep it Simple!

Do you ever get to the stage where you have just too much going on? You feel like your head is about to explode? It seems like you never get any time to yourself?

Simplify your life, by simplifying your goals. UnClutter your life. Surround yourself with the ease of straightforward living and being.
No mountains out of molehills needed here. Just tell it like it is!
Be sincere and clear in your dealings with people and you will be rewarded with trust, recognition and honour.

Simplify Your Goals - Reduce the number of goals you are intentionally striving for in your life to one or two. By reducing the number of goals that you are striving for, you will improve your focus and your success rate. Make a list of the things you want to make happen in your life and choose the two most important. When you finish one, you can add another to your list.

Stop Multi Tasking - Multi-tasking increases stress and lowers productivity. Just do one job at a time and do it brilliant. When you've finished that then move on to the next one :-)

Time Commitments - Most of us have totally full days with all sorts of things crammed in, work, home, kid's activities, community events, hobbies, more work, exercise....you get the idea... When possible, release yourself from doing the things that are not in line with your highest values.

Simplify your Mind - Negative emotions are completely useless. They serve nothing and have never improved the quality of life for anyone. Take responsibility for your mind. Forgive past hurts and replace negative thoughts with positive ones :-)

Simply your Food - So much food is packaged and processed and full of artificial ingredients. Avoid trans fats, refined grain (white bread), high-fructose corn syrup, and too much sodium. Minimising these ingredients will improve your energy level in the short-term and your health in the long-term. Do yourself a favour and keep to fresh and whole foods as much as possible.

Minimise your media time - Television, Movies, Video games and technology affect your life more than you think. It rearranges your values and dominates your life, having an impact on your attitude and outlook. The only way to fully appreciate its influence in your life is to turn them off.

Simplify your money - If debt is holding you captive, reduce it. Start today. Do what you have to do to get out from under it's weight. Get help if you need to. The sooner you get it sorted, the sooner you can be free.

Say what you mean - Use less words. Keep what you have to say plain and honest. Mean what you say and avoid gossip.
