☺ Motivational Mondays! ☺

We're taking back Mondays!!!

"Motivational Mondays" are fabulous tips to get you excited and pumped for the week! 

Feeling low? Moody? Down on life? Well, that's what these posts are for! Time to feel awesome again and get some Positivity rolling! Just because it's Monday doesn't mean you can't have fun, smile, and enjoy Today! Apply these tips to your week and try to tell me that you don't start to see an improvement in your life! ;)

It's all about You! Change your perception, change your attitude, love your life! xo

☺ Law of Attraction tip: Like Attracts Like. It's taken me a while to remember this and I get the questions all the time; "but I never Thought so-and-such would happen, and it did, how does that work?" The Law of Attraction brings to you what you are thinking about, but it also attracts "Like" thoughts. Meaning, if you are feeling fantastic and on an awesome frequency then you will attract more things that will make you Feel Good. On the flip side, if you are on a negative frequency then you are going to keep attracting things on that frequency; things that will make you not feel good. Get it? If not I'll be writing up a more in-depth article on this this week. ;)  

☺ Think Twice! About everything. Before you eat; think twice. Where did your food come from? Was it alive, happy, emotional? Is it ethical? What is it supporting? How will it affect your health and mood? When you buy something; where did it come from? Who had to suffer in order for you to have said-item? Is it worth it? Before you make assumptions about another person; think twice! Do you Really Know them? Who are you to judge? Have you been in their shoes? We too easily do without thinking, so this week, try Thinking Twice. ;) 

☺ There are no Right or Wrong Answers! Or decisions. We tend to be so afraid of making a decision or change in our lives because we are afraid that it is going to be the "wrong" one. But there are no "right" or "wrong" decisions or answers. You choose your life and it is up to you to put your heart into whatever choices you make. But also know that if something is meant to be then it will be regardless of what choices you make, the Universe will draw it together. 

☺ Be Nice and Talk to People! Man are people ever funny! I feel like I see a lot of it where I live; people being "clicky" like in high-school, not wanting to talk to certain people or judging and staying inside their little "groups" because they somehow think it makes them "cooler." We judge so easily and separate ourselves from others because of assumptions and not giving people a chance. The truth is that there are so many wonderful people with huge hearts but we judge outwardly instead of just being Nice to one another. You're not "better" than anyone, and they aren't "better" than you. So Talk! Talk to strangers and new acquaintances, really give them a chance and get to know them. You may not have much in common, and that's fine, no one said you have to become best friends, but that doesn't mean you can't still be nice and have a conversation with someone. Being a snob is just plain silly and limiting for yourself and others. Stop caring what your friends think if you talk to someone either. Just talk, be nice, and get along. 

☺ Try try again! Falling down is just part of the process. You can't be successful at anything without first stumbling, "failing," and falling. It's how we learn. So don't beat yourself up, stand back up every time you fall and try try again. Remember that you Can! Never give up, never get discouraged. Just accept that it's part of the process, learn from the fall and you'll stand that much taller.  

☺ Choose to Smile! We all have moment of feeling not so good, but this is when you need to shift that energy into something that makes you smile. The power of a smile is tremendous! So! If you are feeling down, turn to something that will make you smile or laugh, like a song, a funny youtube video, a comic off the Oatmeal, pictures of cute puppies and kitties. Whatever it is you need to do, Do it! Stop sulking and turn that frown upside down, spend that energy on Feeling Good! It's in your grasp! ♥

☺ “You have a clean slate every day you wake up. You have a chance every single morning to make that change and be the person you want to be. You just have to decide to do it. Decide today's the day. Say it; This is going to be my day.” ~ Brendon Burchard

Sorry for the crickets here at ReLove this week, I've been busy with Holiday Craft Fairs but will be back to blogging regularly. ;)

I hope you all had a fantabulous weekend and are ready to pull that positive energy into this brand new wonderful week! :) 

Much Love from me to you! 

Create a Nice Day! xo

☺ Are You Happy? ☺

Are you Happy? The dreaded question. The ignored question. The question swept under the waves of life. Most people will respond "yes" without giving it much thought. But…  

Are YOU Happy?

We should all be able to say yes, but most of us, when being completely honest with ourselves, sadly can't. 

I'm not talking about a happy moment. We all have happy moments. A smile, a laugh, a fond memory, or moment with friends. But when the dust settles and you are sitting there by yourself, Are You Happy? Do you feel that inner bliss inside of you that is indescribable? Do you have that feeling of overwhelming joy, of peace of mind, of calm, and of Knowing, not just guessing, that you are indeed Happy? 

Unreasonable Happiness is what I am talking about, the happiness that is always there inside, even when life gets rough and jolts you around. That happiness you can return to after the storm. That happiness that you Feel and Know. That Happiness that makes you smile out of nowhere because you feel so appreciative of life and joy.  

Can you go out without drinking and still have a good time? Can you sit still in silence and still enjoy yourself? Can you do simple tasks and still enjoy those? Running around from one thing to the next is not happiness, it's one of many distractions. Being unable to sit still is that restlessness inside of you that doesn't know what to do with yourself because you haven't found that peace, that unreasonable happiness, and so you are constantly seeking it out--whether this is at a subconscious or conscious level.  

You've probably heard it before; you can't chase happiness. Happiness just Is. It's not something you find in other things or people. It's not something you can chase after. It's not something you can achieve through life goals and future plans. It's not something you place into the future as something you'll feel "some day." Happiness Is. Happiness is Now. And Happiness is something that you must feel, because it is already within you, at all times, you just have to choose to draw it out. 

When people begin "spiritual" journeys, of enlightenment and self-discovery, of bettering themselves and their lives, then they are on the road to unreasonable Happiness. And that is the Meaning of Life-- to Be Happy. On this self-journey, people will begin to feel the highs and lows, often quite extreme because in the process of burying happiness somewhere inside of you, you have also buried any number of other problems. They are all shut out. Once you try to draw out happiness you can't draw it out without also drawing out those buried problems. Those buried problems are one of the blockers to unreasonable happiness, so you must work through them. Don't get part way and say you're alright because you are starting to feel happy more frequently--work through those problems! Make Bliss your Life. Make Happiness your Life, not just a passing moment. 

If you want to live your life with scattered happy moments, then continue doing what you're doing. If you want your life and yourself to be Unreasonably Happy all the time, then learn to feel it, to draw it out, and to not go chasing it in other places, people, or things. Choose to Be it, choose to work on yourself, choose to embrace life instead of shying away. 

The point of this post is not to make you feel discouraged or uneasy about your life. If that is the way you do feel after reading this then it's because you're being honest with yourself and realizing your life isn't everything you wanted it to be. But remember that You are the source of your Happiness, the fountain of joy and bliss is from You, not from material items or gains. If you want to be happy, live simpler, free your mind, and spend time on yourself every single day. Focus on the positive, smile as much as possible, and work on yourself every single day. Spend time on joy, surround yourself with good things, and spend time on yourself every single day. ;) Happiness will flow naturally and easily the more you work on yourself. There is always room for improvement and there is always room for more joy. 

So… Are You Happy?

☺ Motivational Mondays! ☺

We're taking back Mondays!!!

"Motivational Mondays" are fabulous tips to get you excited and pumped for the week! 

Feeling low? Moody? Down on life? Well, that's what these posts are for! Time to feel awesome again and get some Positivity rolling! Just because it's Monday doesn't mean you can't have fun, smile, and enjoy Today! Apply these tips to your week and try to tell me that you don't start to see an improvement in your life! ;)

It's all about You! Change your perception, change your attitude, love your life! xo

☺ Get as Clear as Possible! You know how you've always been told you can't have exactly what you want? That you can't ask for your perfect partner, job, or life? Well, it's not true!! In fact, the Universe will bring to you what you want, all you have to do is ask! Even better, the more specific and clear you can be about what it is you want, the easier the Universe will be able to bring it to you! Because the Universe will know what to bring to you. Don't waiver, choose and stick to it instead of second guessing yourself, that will only confuse the Universe into what it should be bringing you and therefor you'll get mixed results. This is the part in your life where you get to be super specific and have to be honest with yourself. So get clear! ;)

☺ Doodle away! Apparently it's been proven that drawing during a presentation, while talking on the phone or doing almost any cognitive task can stimulate creativity, help the brain focus better and aid in solving problems. So, hurrah! Doodle away! 

☺ See the Humour! Humour gets you so much further in life than a bad uptight attitude. Learn to ease up, have a good laugh and stop taking yourself and life so seriously.

☺ Walk away from Anything that doesn't Serve You! Yes, you Are allowed! If something is causing you pain, whether it's a person or situation, then learn when to walk away. If something doesn't give you happiness, growth, or serves you in any way, then walk away. It's about respecting yourself, because you are deserving of all good things. There is no point in placing yourself in negative situations, it doesn't help you and it doesn't help others. Remember to place your happiness above, because when you truly do this then it will serve others as well as yourself. Respect and love yourself and give yourself what you truly deserve! 

☺ Get Outside!  Summers not over and we're in for a beautiful fall, so get outside as much as possible and embrace the day! Seize the day! Go for a walk, play in the grass, go to the beach, swim in the waters, go for a hike! Go Outsideeeee! 

☺ Send Love to Others! To everyone you see or even pass in a day, pass on some good energy. Whether it's a quick little conscious sprinkle of love, or if you have a longer moment then really focus on sending some positive loving energy to another person. You don't even have to see the person to send them positive vibes, just hold an image of them in your mind. But try to do this with everyone you encounter this week. Spread love, be love! ♥

☺ "I think perfect thoughts. I see only perfection. I am only perfection." Repeat this to yourself and stay on that positive frequency. Illness, disease, unhappiness all come from imperfect thoughts. Know that you are in harmony with everything around you and that perfection is yours.

Have a beautiful day, week, life! Much Love from me to you! 

Create a Nice Day! xo

♥ Happy Love Day! ♥

Today is a day for Love.

Not in your traditional Valentine's kind of way. At least not in my humble opinion (check out Part 1 & Part 2 of my Valentine's Edition). But today is a day to celebrate love. Why? Because one way or another your mind knows it is Valentine's Day so certain expectations, thoughts, disappointments, or happy feelings are floating around your pretty mind. Whatever your thoughts may be, make them positive. 

Love exists in all of our lives, simply choose to see, accept, and let it into your life. Love may come from your partner, it may come from your family, it may come from your friends. Love may come from your furry companion or a stranger you don't even know. But there is love in the world out there for all of us, and there is plenty to go around. 

You are deserving of Love. You are deserving of a beautiful Life. You are deserving of Happiness. Don't be sad, be happy and grateful for the things that you have in your life and the people around you. Let Love in. 

So, today, I tell you that I love You. Yes, I love you. Even if I do not know you, I love you. Because we all deserve love. 

Live Love. Spread Love. Share Love. Accept Love. Embrace Love. Be Love. 

Every day is a gift worth living and cherishing. 

So, I say to you, wherever you are, whatever you may be doing today, Happy Love Day!

☺ Motivational Mondays! ☺

This is the week of love right?! Right! Right? Okay, so many people may be feeling the Valentine blues and not the love. But it doesn't have to be that way. Hoorah! ;) Let's get on with some real good wholesome genuine love--none of that material surface crap! Sooooo, fill this week with extra love!

☺ Survive Valentine's Day… oh noooo, what? A shameful plug? Yes indeed. If you haven't yet, read my Valentine's Edition blog posts (Part 1 & 2). A lot of time and thought went into those posts and I feel as if most people could benefit from reading them. Who knows, it could give you a brand new perspective on several different things and allow you to have a new positive attitude towards relationships and love (at least that's what I hope for xo).  

☺ Stick Love Notes everywhere! Okay, so I'm not much for Valentine's Day, but this is still a lovely little way to celebrate & spread a little extra love around--and I will never turn down an opportunity to do that. ;) Cut out cute little red hearts with cute loving words and leave them all over town, on car windows, in stores, on people's desk, anywhere and everywhere!  

☺ Take time to play with your Companions! Animal Companions that is (Yeah, I don't like calling them pets ;p). I'm sure most of us are at least a little guilty of not paying enough attention to our fur babies at times, especially when life gets busy, so this is just a reminder to play with them and give them lots of love and attention. They need love too!  

☺ Be extra Nice… to anyone and everyone. Kindness goes a long way, even if it doesn't feel deserved.  

☺ Respect Yo' Self!  I love this reminder and I love reminding others because we simply do not do it enough. Comes back to balance and understanding your personal needs and cycles (especially women) and where you are emotionally on any particularly day. There is time for play, for work, for social interaction, and down-time and space. Learn to respect and understand what it is you need and don't be ashamed whatever that may be.  

☺ Do a Good Deed every day this week. It should be every day all the time, but it's easy to get caught up in things. Try to do at least one good deed a day, whether it's feeding someone's parking meter, picking up some litter, lending someone a hand, or even giving someone a hug when they need it. Maybe they'll be inspired to do the same and keep the good positive karmic energy going.

☺ Ask the Universe for Love… because everyone deserves love. Ask, Believe, Receive. The three basic components of the Law of Attraction. Again, this is a week that tends to be mixed with both negative and positive energy towards the concept of love, so renew your concept of the word. Don't hold onto bad thoughts towards love or you will receive "bad love" back. Ask the Univerve for good Love. And remember that you deserve and can have it.  

Have a beautiful day, week, life! Much Love from me to you! 

Create a Nice Day! xo

☺ Inspirational: Motivational Mondays! ☺

Okay, I'm gonna pull all the stops this morning because when I hopped onto facebook this morning I was alarmed to see how many people were already complaining about it being Monday! Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! 

So, I'm going to get right to it and make today's Motivational Monday post extra extra happy and super duper fun and fantastic and, well, MOTIVATIONAL!!!! Woooooooo!!!

☺ Laugh!! Right this second You!!! I mean it, we're getting serious here! Start laughing! I don't care where you are just start doing it or find some excuse to. And laugh your lovely heart out! Laugh until your stomach hurts! Isn't that such a great feeling?! Laughing until your stomach hurts? You know you're having a good time when that happens! Think of something funny, a silly photo or movie, or an awesome silly memory perhaps? Better, yet, make a new one... hey wait!!....

☺ Make a New Funny Memory!!! RIGHT NOW! Annnnnnd, Go! Be silly, share some laughter--going back to encourage point #1 this beautiful morning ;). It's easy as 1, 2, 3, go ahead and do something totally random and silly and outrageous. See if you can't make someone else laugh around you!... hey wait just another second here...

☺ Make Someone LAUGH!! By making that new funny silly memory you're supposed to be doing. ;) Your goal today is to now make as many people laugh as possible. You know you want to! Laughter is the best medicine you know! You know you want to be the fountain of awesome today don't you? ;)

☺ Be a Fountain of Awesome! Be awesome all day long! How do you be awesome you say? Well, by making people laugh! ;) And by spreading positivity, by uplifting other people's days, by not allowing anything to take that beautiful smile off your face, by being in the moment, by being kind and sharing, by doing something nice for someone, by seeking out adventure, by saying "Yes!". By being true to you! By being You! :) 

☺ Stop being so Serious! C'mon frowny pants, turn that frown upside down! Seriously now, stop being so serious! Life is meant to be enjoyed and taken light-heartedly. You can do anything and still have fun you know! It's all in your head! 

 ☺ Change That Attitude! Oh you knew this one was coming now didn't you? Now seriously, I mean, not so seriously, change that pouty attitude and embrace the beauty of the world around you. It's a beautiful day!!!! Yes, You get to choose what kind of a day it is going to be! It's all in your head!!! Do you really want to stay in a "blah, it's Monday... my life is so miserable... it sucks to be alive... blah blah blah" kind of attitude? Or do you want to replace that with "HOLY JEEBUS IT'S MONDAY!!!! WHAT A FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC DAY!!!! I'M GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD WITH MY AWESOMENESS AND BE SILLY AND LAUGH AND MAKE EVERYONE LAUGH AROUND ME!!! RAH RAH RAH!!!"     

☺ Appreciate everything around you! Maybe if you focussed today instead on all the things you love about your life then the day will go differently? Appreciate everything around you. Go on, it's easy! You're alive aren't you?!! That's a beautiful thing right there! You have the ability to make others smile, that's a beautiful thing too! You can laugh! Wow, that's amazing!!! 

☺ See the Potential Inside of YOU! omg an extra tip today? No way!!! See, isn't this day already getting better? ;) See the potential that exists inside of you! There is a limitless amount of potential! Seek it out, express it! Love it! Enjoy it! Free it!!! You can do anything you set your heart to! Today (and this week... better, make that life) say that YOU CAN! Because YOU CAN! Yes you heard me, YOU CAN! One more time now, YOU CAN!!! You have the potential for just about anything! Guess what? You have the potential to have a kick-ass day! So have a KICK-ASS Day!!! 

In case this all wasn't enough to make you all smile, I am going to try my darndest to make a silly video today and post it on youtube. Hopefully that will make you all smile... and laugh! And if you're impatient and don't want to wait, then this video I made some time back perhaps will do the trick. ;) http://www.youtube.com/user/ReLovePlanet#p/u/9/TrTYw3sBDDo

Today is a beautiful day, be happy to be alive! You are so lovely and fantastic and awesome! Don't discredit yourself by getting your panties in a bunch over the fact it's Monday. I mean, really, it's just another day in this beautiful world, with the potential to be the best one yet! So make it the best day yet!

☺ Inspirational: Motivational Mondays!☺

 Let's make the week fabulous shall we? Embrace life and make it amazing and full of new experiences, lessons, and lots of laughter and smiles!!! :)  

☺ Think Before you Speak... Sometimes it's just too easy to speak our minds and say things that perhaps we shouldn't. This past week I have been on the receiving end and delivering as well. It's counter-productive and usually ends up with someone being emotionally hurt. Be the bigger person and don't get into silly arguments and engage negative habits. Think and choose your words wisely.      

☺ Allow yourself to be Uninhibited! Try stepping out of that oh-so-cozy and safe comfort zone and let yourself jump on opportunities, try new things, talk to new people, and Be who you want to be and act the way you want to act.

☺ Find a new use for recycling and garbage! You could be pleasantly surprised by what uses you can find for things that automatically get discarded. While recycling is fantastic, it's even more fantastic to recycle it into something new yourself! Get creative and perhaps crafty! ;)  

☺ Eat local Produce! Start paying attention to where your produce comes from and start eating closer to home. Things are coming back in season and that means checking out local markets and supporting local growers! Plus the benefits of eating local fruits and veggies far outweigh anything else! 

☺ Make a "Happy Food Plan"... and stick it blatantly in your kitchen as a constant reminder. Get into better eating habits this week, cut out all those foods that you've been meaning to. Be healthy!! 

☺ Enjoy the Weather... No matter what it's doing out there! We've had lots or rain and crazy storms so far this spring and summer, but instead of whining about it, I'm enjoying cozy inside days, dancing in the rain, and listening to the rumbling thunder above. When the sun does come out you'll appreciate it that much more too! Bask in its warmth and take in every second of that vitamin D! 

☺ Have a campfire! We had our first one this summer last week and it was epic! Lots of fun and laughter sitting around beautiful flames under a star-dusted sky.      

Now make the most of it! :)

☺ Being Someone You're Not is a Waste of the Person You Are!☺

Pretending and trying to be something you're not, something that isn't true to You, is a waste of Who You actually Are. Be You! Because no one else is going to do it for you. 

Stop caring what others think or say and embrace every part of who you actually are. Be free and open to be You. 

Step out of your Comfort Zone and be yourself. It may sound like a strange concept that one would have to "step out of your comfort zone" to be one's self, but we have spent a lifetime wrapped up in a society that is constantly telling us What to be, How to Act, how not to act or be, and to basically Not be You. Conform, stay silent, stay sleeping, stay dumbed down. Be a clone, a robot, a drone. We are made to believe that acting out of accordance with what society tells us makes us "different" and that we should not be "different." This is positively silly because we are All different, we are Individuals; meaning we are not all the same. To try to fit into society's perfect little package and limited ideals is an insult to your own intelligence and Who you Are. Society actually teaches us to be unhappy, so that we try to fix our unhappiness with "things," and so I ask; who wants to be unhappy? Certainly not I and I don't think that you should want to be either. Act the way that makes you Happy. Let loose, step over that line society has drawn. Go ahead, be shameless, act "out of line." Be the Unique and Amazing Individual that you Are. And never sacrifice who that person is for anything or anyone. Don't let others tell you how to be, who to be, and who not to be. 

Don't let others tell you what you "should" be doing with your life and your future. Do the things that make you Happy. Live the life that You choose to live. Never be ashamed, embarrassed, shy, reluctant, or "held-back" to do all the things you want to do and act the way that you would like to act. Enjoy yourself, your time, everything that you do. Stop caring what others think, it really doesn't matter. Half of those people you will never even see again, so why do we allow their opinions or strange looks to deter us from our desired course of action and behaviours? Be free to act and do the things that you choose, from the small, seemingly insignificant, to the massive life-choices. Don't be afraid to be yourself and to go against the narrow-minded ideals that we've been taught is "normal" and "right." Never sacrifice who you are because someone else has a problem with it. Those who matter will love and accept every part of your quirky and unique personality. Those who have a problem with it are not worth the time of day. They are just miserable with their own conformity so pay them no mind and don't take it personally as they are just facing their own problems--or refusing to face their own problems. Live for Your Self. If you actually be the person that you Want to be then you would literally astonish yourself with the amazing potential that would open up in your life. You would actually be Living for You. And that is an amazing gift.  

All you have in this world is You, the Here & Now, and This Life you've been given. Embrace every part of it and live it the way that You desire. When you live this way then you are living to your fullest potential and in accordance to the natural laws of You. Don't waste another second of your time trying to be someone that you are not. 

Be foolish, shameless, free, happy. Be You right now. 

Never apologize to anyone for Who You Are. You have a beautiful soul, so feel good and feel comfortable Being Who You Are. Wanting to be someone you're not is a waste of the person you are. Give yourself the gift of being joyfully and unabashedly You. Be Yourself and No one else. You are an amazing gift to the world, don't limit yourself by not being You.

☺ Inspirational: Motivational Mondays!☺

So this Monday may be a holiday so many of us might not be feeling the usual Monday "blahs" ...that's FANTASTIC! Now keep that Happy Attitude all week long!! 

☺ Hug a Tree! Keep Earth Day going all year long, appreciate nature! Go on, Hug a tree, you'll feel awesome! I do it alllll the time. Sometimes I will see a tree and simply MUST stop to hug it. Spread the love ;)  

☺ Everything Happens for a Reason. Remember this and carry it with you always. Have faith. There is a lesson in everything that happens in life and a journey that keeps on moving.

☺ Got with the Flow... Don't resist life, just ease up and go with it. Life is much easier when you go with the flow instead of resisting everything.

☺ Spend Time with Family... It was a lovely Easter Weekend and so we are reminded to spend time with family and loved ones. It's important and often under-appreciated. Love your family, get close to them, enjoy their company and share the love.  

☺ Be the Bigger Person: Because you can. Everyone is going through something. All you can do is control what you do, so be the bigger person, lead by example. 

☺ Be Selfish. Do something entirely for yourself. We are too often told to not spend time on ourselves and to not be selfish, but it is important to do things for yourself. So go ahead, be selfish, do something for You!  

☺ Cherish the Small Things... They often go overlooked so remember to stop and appreciate all the little things in your day and in your life.  

☺ Go Green! In honor of Earth Day, try to green your home and life as much as possible. Consciously move towards a greener lifestyle, it will make you and the Earth feel better. I promise ;) 

☺ Plan Outside Activities. Get back in touch with Nature and get away from "nature deficit disorder." Spend as much time outside as possible. Reconnect with Nature, reconnect with your Self! :)

And, as always; SMILE!!!!! Have a fabulous Monday and make the most out of your Week!!! 

Peace & Love,

xo

☺ Inspirational: Motivational Mondays!☺

People far too often dread Mondays, the start of the work week duh duh duh! But I prefer to think of Monday as a beautiful start to the week, a New week, a week full of potential and fun and laughter and pure awesomeness. So to help you get your week off to a great start, and so that you too can fall in love with Mondays (no more "case of the Mondays" for you!), I introduce the very first "Motivational Mondays" article :). I will do these inspirational mantras, tips, and ideas every Monday for that extra boost to get you through the day and week and uplift that PMA (Positive Mental Attitude). 

So, here's your little poke and reminder for the week to bring that smile back to your pretty face and feel ridiculously Happy for no other reason than remembering Life Rocks! ;)...

☺ Go Outside! Spring is upon us, even though it may be being stubborn in certain parts of the world, so now is the time to get outside, feel the sun on your face, and breathe in some fresh air. We are so disconnected from nature and it is a huge part of our unhappiness. So go on and get outside as much as possible!  

☺ Say Hello...to everyone you see. Make the conscious effort to do this, no matter who the person or what their response. And smile of course! ;) 

☺ Time Out! Take a day (if you can) and turn off all those electronics! All of those electro-magnetic waves are a downer, sending out bad energy and give us that "blah" feeling. Switch them off. Even that cell phone. 

☺ Make Someone's Day! Doesn't matter how or who, just do it. Spread a little love and joy. Remember, what goes around comes around, what you put out is what you receive. 

☺ Be Respectful Understanding and Accepting...to everyone around you. I have noticed that so many people have a complete disrespect for the people, animals, nature, and things around them. Stop, and be respectful! ...Blog post elaborating on this coming soon ;).

☺ Start a Happy Diary. If you haven't already that is. And write in it daily!  

☺ Look in the Mirror... and love every inch of your body. Self-love is important. To love others, you must must love yourself. So practice self-love. It's a key to good PMA. ;) 

☺ Plant a Garden! Or little window-sill pots or plants or flowers. Watch the power of nature. Be nurturing instead of destructive. Plus you can get some yummy super healthy food out of it that you grew yourself! How awesome is that?! 

☺ Try something New! Whether it's trying a new food, a new activity, reading a new book, or absolutely anything at all, try something new! It is actually really easy to do and I encourage doing this often. New experiences are fantastic, big or small.   

And always remember to smile and laugh all day every day! :) Have a fabulous Monday and Week!!! 

Peace & Love,

☺ Inspirational; There is no Right or Wrong☺

Gone are the days when the idea behind "right" or "wrong" was based on an accumulation of our own thoughts and instincts, now it is replaced largely by society's concepts and teachings. We are conditioned to believe straight-forward this is wrong and that is right, without the opportunity to really suss the matter out for ourselves. Even moral stand-points are told to us as if they were some definitive facts. They are not. What is right to one person may be wrong to another, and vise-versa. Use your own discretion, make up your own mind. 

The truth is that there is no such thing as making the "wrong" decision. Your life is your life, who is to tell you the right or wrong way to live it? You get to decide. In any decision you're ever faced with, just remember; there is no right or wrong answer. Yours is a unique path unlike any other's and it is yours to walk and choose. Remember, you can't control every aspect of life, you can only go with the flow and take things one step at a time, and make those choices as they come. Be in the moment. And, very importantly, always be true to yourself. Listen to your heart and try not to over-think things. Whatever path you choose to walk, turns you wind down, roads you stumble along, falls you must make, or decisions that you must choose, are all part of your beautiful and unique life and none of it will be "wrong" or "right", it just Is. There are no mistakes, just choices that co-incide with your path. Whatever will Be will Be.

Listen to your inner self. The world conditions us into ideologies that are not actually true to us. Society whispers in our ears at every turn its views and morals that may not be in line with who we really are. Society is a mechanism to much of our downfall. You are not Society. You are You. You are allowed to have your own opinions, belief-system, ideologies, and your own morals. There is no right or wrong. Only a life to be lived in the way that you choose. So strip down those walls, Release your mind, and Be You. Don't let another's morals or beliefs corrupt your own. Never feel badly for your decisions or life path. You get to Choose. Placing limitations on yourself because of another's values closes the doors to growth and experience. Stand by the choices you make. Stand by your morals and beliefs. They don't have to be the same as another's. And they are allowed to change as you also change and grow. The fundamental key is that you are Free. You can choose. There is no such thing as "making a mistake." There is no Wrong or Right answer. Throw those two words out the window. Live in harmony with your inner self, with the flow of life, with nature, with love, and you will be living freely and true. Right and wrong can become forgotten concepts, opening your world up to new choices and experiences. Be You. Be Free. 

Try to break free from what we are conditioned to believe by society's views and ideals. Once you free your mind of these concepts then you will truly be able to decide for yourself what is right or wrong to You and live your life in harmony with your true self. As long as you are not violating the natural laws of self and manifesting some harmful negativities then "wrong" really has no place in our vocabulary. Once you can see beyond "right" or "wrong" then you become free to see things as they actually are. The world is open to you. Opportunities, experience, wisdom, truth, and Life become open to you. Be mindful to you inner-most knowing. Follow your Heart, not your Mind. 

There is no Right or Wrong. 

It is Your Life. Choose to decide for yourself. 

Free your Mind. 

"Become loyal to your innermost truth. Follow the way when all others abandon it. Walk the path of your own heart." 

Peace & Love
