☺ Motivational Mondays! ☺

Hello to another beautiful Monday! Yes, it may be the beginning of another work week for many of us, but that doesn't mean the world is over and that there is nothing worth smiling about. There is happiness to be found at any time in any situation if you choose it. Need some extra help this week? Read on for this week's Motivation tips! :)

☺ Take 5! To Meditate… Before you reach out to someone else, take five minutes to connect with yourself. This will help you come from a place of balance when you interact with someone else. 

☺ Don't Shower… Today is the Day of Polar Bears so do something to help them! Stink for the Arctic! If you showered today already then make up for it by not showering tomorrow! And only take 5 minute showers! Do good, receive good--here's one of your good deeds for the week! 

☺ Take a Leap! Take a Chance! You are more likely to regret the things you Don't Do, as opposed to the things you actually do do (heehee, do-do ;p). Stop being afraid of making mistakes and know that there is no such thing as a "mistake", no such thing as "wrong choices." Every chance you take will bring you closer to a heightened sense of Self and Happiness. So take risks and take chances. Just go for it and believe that you can!  

☺ You Are Ready! Stop thinking that you are Not. Nobody ever feels like they are 100% ready when an opportunity presents itself, because most great opportunities in life force us to go and grow beyond our comfort zones. We won't feel totally comfortable at first, but know that good things are arising and that change is natural and vital. You are Ready, so go with the flow and embrace the change. 

☺ Learn to Live more Simply… It is an on-going mission for me to live more simply. There are new things that I realize I can do or give up all the time. Think of something that you don't need that just complicates the simple beauty of living, and give it up. Maybe it's eating unnatural processed foods. Maybe it's the growing collection of material things. Maybe it's too much time spent in front of a Television. Whatever it is you are comfortable with, start somewhere and make your life simpler. Happiness comes from within our Selves, so if you can learn to live more simply you will grow more in tune with that natural happiness instead of losing it to the unneeded complications of our society. 

☺ "Unexpressed emotion is stored in the muscles of the body" ~Wilhelm Reich. Most of the physical symptoms we experience in our lives--like infections, aches, and pains--are merely symptoms of the emotions and problems we are storing up in our bodies. Learn to deal appropriately with stress and deal with former trauma to release your body from unneeded physical discomfort. Make yourself Happy and your body will respond in the same manner.  

☺ Remember: Every event is a learning experience… whether it's Positive or Negative. Take something from any situation, learn, and grow. 

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

Create a Nice Day! xo
