☺ 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: Don't pay so much attention on the negative thoughts. Negative thoughts will come, no matter how positive you try to keep yourself. Your job is not to stop the negative thoughts, your job is to fill your head with as many positive thoughts as you can to counter-act the negative ones. The more positively you can think the more the negative thoughts (and therefore experiences) will slip away on their own.  

☺ Get Outside for 30 minutes a Day! I know, I know, it's getting colder, and maybe it's like where I live where the rain has been pretty socked in. Still try to get outside for at least 30 minutes a day, even if it means sitting in the cover somewhere. If you can, try to ground your feet to the earth as well, but at least try to get outside, it'll do your mind wonders! 

☺ Stop Feeling Guilty! Stop feeling badly or guilty for the things that you want to do. I have to say it is one of the worst underlying stresses in life when there is someone constantly making you feel badly for just being you. And I think this problem usually stems from insecurity of not wanting the other person to do things without them. Talk to whoever might be making you feel this way, stick up for yourself, and no more feeling guilty. Do things for You, without the guilt, because that guilt will weigh you down in the form of heavy accumulating stress and resentment.   

☺ Stop Feeling Insecure! While we're on the topic, stop feeling insecure as well! I know it's not as easy as snapping your fingers and magically all your insecurities are gone, but Try. Stop constantly feeling like everything your boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other is doing is because they aren't interested in you--because in the majority of cases, that's not at all what's going on (it's not always about you ;) ). Start loving and appreciating yourself and others will too, and the insecurities will start to diminish.  

☺ Do Something for your Health. This week, I want you to do something new for your health! Whether that means cutting out sugar or some other bad foods; cutting back on meat; quitting dairy; balancing out your omega ratios; drinking more water; or any other number of things. There is so much that we can do for our health, so start taking care of your body--it will also take care of your mind!  

☺ Always Believe Something Wonderful is about to Happen! Life can be mundane, life can be tough, life can be just plain tricky some days. But, it's always magical, and there are always amazing things just waiting for us to notice. So, enter each day believing something wonderful is about to happen. I've started this new thing with my husband, whenever he comes home from work, instead of asking the routine question of how his day was, I ask him what magical thing happened today. Try this with someone you know, because it'll have you both looking for something magical in each day!  

☺ "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~ Dr. Seuss. This is still one of my favourite quotes, because it is the perfect reminder to be yourself; because those who matter will love you for You! And that's the way it should be. So, stop caring what people think, stop feeling guilty for being you (yes I just came back to that one), and unabashedly be Who You Are, and love every quirky wonderful second of it! ^_^

Get out there and look for the magic, practice these points every day this week, and go and create a super duper fantastic day! 

Much love from me to you!

"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: Always start and end your day with conscientious practices. In the morning, take a minute just to give thanks for everything in your day in advance, all the things you want to happen that day, give thanks as if they have already happened; announce that you are going to have an awesome day, nay, Choosing to have a kick-ass day; and be sure to add a little "I am grateful for the good news I am receiving today"--works wonders! At the end of your day, take a minute before your head hits the pillow to list off all the things you were grateful for that day. Five minutes of your day will completely transform your entire life, so don't slack on these practices! 

☺ Get Inspired by Random Acts of Kindness! Check out these 18 random acts of kindness (click) to feel all warm and fuzzy inside, to get inspired, and to get out there and perform your own acts of kindness! Remember, you should try to do one act a day! :) 

☺ Respect Yourself! I think it's so easy to not respect your own sanity, wishes, and basic and deep emotional needs. We disregard them to please others all too frequently. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to help others out and to please others, but it should never be at a sacrifice to your own well-being. Learn when to say yes and when to say no--and stop feeling badly for sticking up for yourself when you do need to say no!   

☺ Make the most of Fall! It's officially fall, summer is officially over. Boo. Well, it's time to make the most of fall! Try to get outside every say the sun is shining. If it's raining, go and dance in the rain. Play in the leaves. Get outside as much as possible, and find new fun things to do. And enjoy cozy days in as well. Remember, weather is circumstantial, it's your attitude that will determine whether or not you're going to have a good time. So choose to have a good time!  

☺ Do Something Spontaneous… And totally out of character! Why? Because you need to learn to stop taking yourself so seriously! ;) Have a little fun, be a little silly, and stop caring what others think! Bust out dance moves in the supermarket; give a stranger a high-five; sing at the top of your lungs… you know, cliche silly things ;) or anything else really silly and random. Just do it!  

☺ Believe in Magic! You create your life! You, you, you! What you believe in will manifest into your life. If you spend all your time believing that life sucks and is mean to you, then you are going to have a pretty not-so-great life. If you believe that life is fantastic and that magical things happen every single day all over the world, then your life is going to be something pretty epic! So choose to believe in magic!  

☺ "Your mind can be a place of torment—a hellish hall of horrible images that rack your emotions, quicken your heart rate, and keep you up while others doze. You create your own misery all the while lusting for a moment’s peace. Your circumstances are no worse than anyone else’s, but you magnify them to mountain size because you dwell on them so intensely." ~ Metal Motivation. 

Hope you're making the most of these first few days of fall! Now get out there and create a damn good day! ^_^

Much love from me to you!

. . . . . . . . . .

☺ Law of Attraction tip: Remember that the Law of Attraction can so easily spiral in either the good or bad direction. When things feel great and abundance is flowing, it's easy for it to spiral and keep coming. But when you are lacking then it's very easy for things to continue to be in a state of lack. The challenge is to shift your attitude, your energy. Feeling Good is key. Once you start to Feel Good then you will experience an abundance in all aspects of your life.   

☺ Life is Not Unhappiness! The implication is that unhappiness is part of life, and we’re to make the best of it and learn from it, while happiness comes from outside: from sensual enjoyments, possessions, other people, or God. But Happiness comes from within and is achievable for absolutely anyone. Don't settle with unhappiness, don't just accept that it has to be a part of your life. Life is booming with so many wonderful things, and it all starts with you, your attitude, and your Choosing to be Happy! Life is not suffering, only our minds make it so! 

☺ Take a Breather! And take a moment to unwind this week. Run yourself a nice warm bath with candles and some soft music. Leave the book and the smartphone, and anything else away. Just take a moment to breathe, to be still with your mind, and to just relax.  

☺ Life is Right Now! Stop procrastinating, stop not trying your hardest or doing your best, or pushing for your dreams. Life is right now, the time is right now. Stop placing things in the distant future. Play like you Practice! Do your best, try your hardest, because time can slip by so quickly and you don't want to miss the opportunities that come from actually putting yourself out there and just going for it! 

☺ Stop comparing your life to others. Your life has nothing to do with theirs. You are not them, You are You! And you while you may imagine their world to be perfect, remember that it never is. Everyone has ups and downs and struggles and can paint on a smile. Stop comparing yourself and your life to others. Find your own happiness! 

☺ Fill in this Space. Life is learning, experiencing, and doing things for yourself. You have so much that you've learned that you may forget or push to the back of your mind. Draw it back out and create your own tip to follow for the week! Take a leap, be your own voice of empowerment driving you forwards! 

☺ "If it can be fixed; why worry? If it can’t be fixed, what’s the point of worrying?" ~ Shantideva. Don't Worry! The Buddhist rule re Worrying is simple: don’t. As displayed below… ;)

Get out there and create the best damn day ever! Every week, every day, every second is an opportunity to live your life to the fullest, so go do it! :)

. . . . . . . . . .

☺ Law of Attraction tip: It is so important for you to be Grateful for everything that you have in your life. Without first being grateful for what you already have, there is no way to invite more good things to you to be grateful for. Attracting good into your life absolutely starts with being thankful and appreciating what you already have, from the tiny little details to the amazingly large. Be grateful for waking up in the morning, be grateful for every penny to your name, be grateful for the health you have, for the roof over your head, for your food, for everything!     

☺ Re-Apply Past Lessons.  It's so easy to read something once, feel like you've got it all figured out and then forget the lesson entirely within a matter of days, weeks, or months. Go back and re-read one of my articles about how to be happy! ^_^ Yes, this is your task for the week. Happiness requires rewiring that brain, so don't get lazy! Re-read, re-learn, and surround yourself with positive and inspiring words! At ReLove there are so many inspirational articles I've written--go take another look and relearn something new.  

☺ Don't Complicate Things! We are absolutely terrible at creating problems that don't exist, or dwelling on things that don't matter. Stop it! Learn to let things go, to enjoy the moment, and to stop seeking out drama. Of course, there are times and situations in life where problems need addressing and working through, but try to be conscious about which ones matter and which ones are coming from insecurities with yourself and/or looking for drama--don't self-sabotage your happiness! 

☺ Enjoy the Natural World! Nature is bliss, nature is life, nature is all that is good! Get outside and enjoy it as much as possible. Go for a walk, go on an epic hike. Climb a tree, swim in the lakes and oceans. Go to the far reaches of nature that you have not yet explored. Breathe nature into your lungs and feel and love all that it has to offer. 

☺ Let your dreams change. Maybe you have this one career or idea in mind of what you wanted your life to be, and you've struggled through it, miserably, resenting everything about it, but you stick through it, all in the hopes that this imagined end goal will be the answer to your happiness… well, that isn't living and that goal isn't going to magically bring you happiness. Life slips by quickly when you sacrifice your current happiness for imagined future happiness for an extended amount of time. People tell you to do what you love. That’s not an expression, it’s a philosophy. Switch your dreams to something that makes you happy right now, not hopefully happy later. 

☺ Be a Fully Expressed Being at Every Moment. You are so dynamic and so lovely and have so much to offer the world. Never let people or things overshadow your greatness. Be the best version of yourself, the Fullest version of yourself, in every moment.

☺ "It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence." 

Get out there and create the best damn day ever! Every week, every day, every second is an opportunity to live your life to the fullest, so go do it! :) 

Much love from me to you!

Hey! Sorry Loves, I've been camping over the long weekend and am rather exhausted ;p Soooo, this Motivational Monday we're going to do something a little different… 

Below are your set of rules for the week. So, it is your job to apply them as much as possible. Make them your desktop photo, or your phone's background image, or plaster them somewhere in your room, basically anywhere that you will see and read them often this week. That's your homework. And then next Monday I would love to hear how your week went by applying these rules! Come back and leave a comment on this post. :) 

Happy Happy Monday!!

. . . . . . . . . .

☺ Law of Attraction tip: Remember that what you talk about most is what you are attracting. So, while it's nice to vent and talk about our problems to work through them, we must be careful that our focus isn't more consistently on the problem instead of the solution. Our worst habit is still talking too much about our problems instead of the joys in our lives, so watch your speech and switch it onto something positive.    

☺ Practice Self-Gratitude!  Almost nothing diminishes our sense of worth more than our own selves. It's an easy mentality to fall into since we tend to take things too harshly, listen to others criticisms too much, and degrade ourselves by comparing ourselves to others. These are all bad habits that need reversing, but most importantly, you need to spend time on your Self. Every single day, without fail, without slacking, take time to write a love letter to yourself. Remind yourself that you are an awesome person, of all the qualities you like about yourself, and generally just focus on how kick-ass you are! Because you are! ^_^ 

☺ Put the Damn Phone Down! Our addiction to our smartphones is getting to the point of ridiculousness. I mean, really ridiculousness. I'm not saying I'm not guilty of busting out my phone and taking photos of everything (although, to be fair, I did this when I just had a camera before I had my phone), but moderation I think is key here. Technology can be a wonderful thing, but let's not become brainwashed zombies who can't do anything but turn to our phones every few minutes. Try leaving it far away when you can, and turn it onto silence when you're out with friends.    

☺ You are What You Eat! Remember last motivational monday when I told you to indulge? Well, I hope you're done because now it's time to eat super duper clean and good! Our food directly affects our mentalities and we too often overlook this. You absolutely are what you eat, so eat food that fuels you, that takes care of your body and your soul. 

☺ Go for a walk. Take a route you don’t normally take. Explore. Just enjoy walking, saying thank you with every step, and breathing in some fresh air. Walking clears our minds and makes us feel good. So try going for a walk every day this week.  

☺ Focus on the Positive! The most cliche of all advice and the one I will repeat over and over again. ;) Focus on your joy, instead of on your pain. Meaning, no whining, complaining, or frowning; instead learn to smile and focus on what makes you feel good!        

☺ "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt. Follow your dreams and follow your heart. Your dreams may change and that's okay, but always put your heart into it and the world becomes a more beautiful place.  

Get out there and create the best damn day ever! Every week, every day, every second is an opportunity to live your life to the fullest, so go do it! :) 

Much love from me to you!

. . . . . . . . . .

☺ Law of Attraction tip: Thoughts Become Things. Thoughts Become Things. Thoughts Become Things. Pay attention to what you're thinking about; is it positive or is it negative? What do you want to attract? Positive or Negative? Thoughts Become Things!   

☺ Take Care of Yourself!  If you know something is affecting your health (both body and mind) negatively then take action immediately to remedy it. Don't stay static, do something about it and make a change. If you don't try then you'll never move forward.

☺ Remember to Practice Random Acts of Kindness. It's the little things that can make a huge impact on someone's day, so do your part to make the world a little brighter. If you see an opportunity to help someone, take it. If you think of something sweet to do for someone, do it. Try to do a few acts of kindness where no one else knows you're doing them as well, that way it becomes more selfless--although it will make your soul feel good too!   

☺ Indulge! Because next week I'm going to tell you to purge. ;) If you want to eat something, eat it. If you want to binge eat, do it. Indulge a little without guilt. Because every so often it feels good to just give into cravings and nom nom nom!

☺ Look for Beautiful Moments. When I was sitting on the bus the other day, there was an awfully smelly guy sat near me, and the bus was hot and humid and not all that pleasant. But then I noticed a little boy of about 3-years sat with his mother just down from me and he was kissing her and being affectionate and she was smiling so lovingly. It was a beautiful moment. When you are out and about, choose to see the world through enchanted eyes. Look for beautiful moments, for when you start paying attention you will notice them--and they are all around you!  

☺ Do Epic Shit! Get out into the world and live your amazing life the way you want, the way you choose, the way that makes you feel good! And do it unabashedly! You are so full of awesome it's limitless, so get out there and be awesome and do your thing! And enjoy every awesome second of it!        

☺ "A bad attitude can literally block love, blessings, and destiny from finding you. Don't be the reason you don't succeed." - Mandy Hale. Change your attitude and you'll change your life! Literally! :)

Get out there and create the best damn day ever! Every week, every day, every second is an opportunity to live your life to the fullest, so go do it! :) 

Much love from me to you!

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

. . . . . . . . . .

☺ Law of Attraction tip: Pay attention to how you're feeling. Your feelings tell you what's up in your life and are a good way to judge the sort of things you're manifesting and when it's time to switch gears. Your feelings are the universe communicating to you, to put it simply. The good feelings are letting you know you're on track. The bad feelings are to get your attention to let you know to stop focussing on the negative.      

☺ Keep Calm…  and go with the flow. Whenever we feel anxious, restless, stressed, or not so awesome, it's because we're resisting everything around us. So take a deep breath and bring yourself back to centre. Try not to let your mind run amuck over your day. It can be difficult sometimes, but practice makes perfect. Stay present, and keep calm. Everything will work out in the end.  

☺ Play Catchup! You know, on all that crap you've been procrastinating about. Go ahead, take a day and get things done! You'll feel better and those little voices will stop nagging you in the back of your mind of all those things that you were supposed to do but still haven't. ;)   

☺ Be Modest About Your Failures. We all make mistakes, we all fall, we all fail. It's a rather beautiful part of life that teaches us valuable lessons and propels us towards growth. Don't shy away as if you're the only person who ever failed. And don't linger in your failures, own them! Get back up, brush yourself off, and try try again!       

☺ Turn off notifications to your phone. We live in a world of cellphones, that's just the way it is these days. We see people glued to their phones at all times, even when in the company of friends and family. Turn off the damn phone. Turn off the notifications on your phone and put the damn thing away when you're out with people so it won't call to you temptingly. It's not cocaine, we just act like it is sometimes. ;p 

☺ Be Someone Who Makes You Happy! People always say to be with someone that makes you happy, but your happiness does not depend on other people, it depends only on you. If you can't be happy by yourself, you'll never be happy with another. Focus on making your own self happy. Happiness comes within. So spend day every day to focus on the person you want to be, and become the person who makes you happy.       

☺ "You don't always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens." - Mandy Hale. This week, practise letting go. ;)  

Don't forget to Create a Nice Day! To keep smiling, laughing, and spending time on joy!

Much love from me to you!

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

. . . . . . . . . .

☺ Law of Attraction tip: The more you talk about something, the more you are inviting into your life. This can be used for good when we're conscious of it, bad if we choose to ignore it. If you are constantly talking about being sick, being depressed, not having money, etc. then you will invite more of that into your life. If you talk more about your joys then you will invite more joys into your life and healing and the world will be better. ;)        

☺ Be direct with people. This is all about learning to stick up for yourself and speaking up. While I generally promote saying yes to things, there is a balance so learn to fight the urge to say yes to everyone all the time. It’s okay to say no in a nice way. You’ll lose friends if you agree to do something and then just hope it fades away or they forget. Just be honest now and avoid the guilt later.  

☺ Be Spontaneous! Have you done anything spontaneous lately? Our friends visited last week and we went for a midnight swim in the lake--it was hella fun. Spontaneity is so fun, so go for it, say yes ;) and step out of your comfort zone this week.     

☺ Sleep in. Admittedly, I rarely sleep in. I'm usually perfect on 7 hours of sleep and I'm awake and ready to go. However, some weeks are draining (especially with hot weather, or cold weather, or rainy days, or work days, or…) so sleep helps restore our balance and puts our minds and bodies at much needed rest. Take a few nights this week and have a good long deep sleep in. Try to remove anything that might interrupt that sleep; loud noises (wear earplugs, alarms, pets, etc.). Don't sleep in every day though, you should be well rested but sleeping in too much can be just as draining as not getting enough sleep.    

☺ You are responsible for your own happiness. Yes yes, this one I say all the time, but it's absolutely true. You Choose your Happiness! Stop blaming everyone and everything else if you aren’t there yet. And don't get discouraged if you aren't there yet either; trying means progress, complaining means taking steps backwards. If you're not there yet, Fix it. No one owes you anything. And never compare your happiness to someone else's, we're all at different stages and you never know what's going on beneath the surface of another person's life. 

☺ Embrace your Passions! Life is too short not to take time every day (or as often as possible for you) to obsess over your passions. Make it work, rearrange your schedule or habits so that you have that time for yourself and your joys. Take time for your passions and let them be the beat of your heart.      

☺ "If you look out over an ocean, you will see a seemingly infinite number of waves rippling across the horizon. If you were to visit the ocean floor, however, you would experience a vast, uninterrupted stillness. By going beyond our thoughts, we access the underlying field of silence that lies within." - Eat. Taste. Heal.  

Don't forget to Create a Nice Day! To keep smiling, laughing, and spending time on joy!

Much love from me to you!

. . . . . . . . . .

☺ Do more of what makes you Happy! This week I want you to spend more time on joy! This means working less, and taking a little time out of the day to really focus on the hobbies and things and events that make you truly happy, that truly enrich your day, that bring a smile and bring about that joy in your life. Try to fit in as much of that time as possible. Most of your day should be doing what makes you happy, so if it's not, maybe it's time to change some things?       

☺ Change your Life! Okay, so there's no magic genie, or snap of your fingers that can instantly change you life around, but you can start taking small steps. The first step is to recognize what brings you joy and what doesn't. Take some time to imagine what your ideal day and your ideal life would be like. Write it down. And then read this list every day this week (and beyond). Take some time with it, picture yourself in that life, imagine how it feels, get deep into those emotions of believing. This is an awesome Law of Attraction practice and can truly make some magical things come into your life!   

☺ Receive Compliments--don't dismiss them! A lovely fellow ReLover sent me this article and I'm so glad that she did because it's wonderful and I decided that I simply could not pass up the opportunity to pass it along to you. It talks about the power of receiving compliments and that we should accept them instead of shying away or dismissing them. Work on accepting compliments, and do read the full article, it's fantastic!  http://justinemusk.com/2013/07/09/the-secret-power-of-receiving-how-to-take-a-compliment/

☺ Be Confident with Who You Are. And don't let anyone ever make you doubt yourself. You are wonderful and perfect just as you are so stop trying to shape yourself into something someone else wants you to be, or what you feel like you should be. The more you accept your awesomeness, the more you'll really get to know yourself and discover who you really are and truly embrace who you are. And then you will be become more confident as well.    

☺ Be a Good Friend… the sort of friend who tells someone if they have something stuck in their teeth, or their makeup as smeared. It's funny that we feel uncomfortable with telling another person these things, while that person is the one that ends up being embarrassed. Spare them the embarrassment and tell them straight up. Be a good friend. ;)   

☺ Try Meditating! Admittedly, I am a terrible meditator because I simply don't take the time to do it. Try to get into this new practice first thing in the morning, or right before bed, or whenever your mind feels too busy. It's a great practice to give your mind and thoughts a rest. Find some inner calm and peace.

☺ Remember to Practice Gratitude! Every single day! Start your day with a list of things you're grateful for. Throughout the day, keep saying things you're grateful for, give genuine thanks to people around you. When you end your day, spend a few minutes repeating things you're grateful for--reflect on your day and list off all the things you're grateful for, no matter how small.  

☺ It's Okay not to Be Okay. Some days aren't so easy, some days (or multiple days) it's really hard to just be happy and find that motivation to smile. While you try your hardest to be happy you will experience ups and downs and this is, perhaps, the most challenging part of healing. You feel as if you're making all this progress, starting to feel better, but then you have a bad day. And it feels as if nothing you've been doing has helped. Take a step back and remember that's it's okay not to be okay all the time. You're trying and, despite how it may feel sometimes, you Are getting better. A dip in the road doesn't mean the whole road has just crumbled beneath you're feet. There's plenty more happy road left for you still. Don't beat yourself up, and don't dwell on it--because nothing will keep you in that state of mind more than dwelling on it and feeling badly about it.   

☺ Don't Expect anything from anyone… because expectations, when not fulfilled, gives you pain and disappointment. But when you get something without expecting it, it gives you joy and pleasure. Don't set yourself for disappointment, go with the flow and allow life to take you where it needs to.    

☺ Find a corner of Nature and ravel in it! There is so much powerful loving amazing energy to be found in nature and it's a great thing to be outside in it as much as possible. I mentioned the 30x30 challenge a while back (30 minutes a day in nature every day), hopefully you're still sticking to it, and if you're not get back into it! Ground your bare feet in the grass, breathe in fresh air, feel life all around you and love and appreciate it. It's healing and it's amazing!   

☺ Keep Smiling! Keep smiling and someday life will get tired of upsetting you. I read that today and it made me smile. ;) Because smiling tricks your brain into happiness, so keep smiling, even if it's fake, even if you don't feel like it, even if it's forced, because sooner or later it becomes genuine and it becomes blissful and it becomes a part of your every day.   

☺  "Learn. Everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can, there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did." ~Sarah Caldwell.  

☺ Look!  An adorable piggy eating an ice cream cone! How freakin' adorable!!! I bet your monday is already starting to feel better! ;)

☺ Law of Attraction Tip: If you're having a hard time manifesting, focus less on the "what" (you're trying to manifest) and more on raising your vibration. Feeling good is the first and most important step. If you don't feel good then you won't be able to attract good things. Like attracts like!      

☺ Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. It's easy to get hot-tempered or irritated and lash out when we are attacked, or even feel attacked, or when someone is being not so nice towards us. Sometimes silence is the best answer. Why? Because there is no point in engaging in a fight with someone, because that only validates their behaviour and gives them the response that they were looking for-- those people are usually looking for a fight. The other reason silence is wise is because it gives you a chance to register, to think, and consider whether responding is a good idea and if it is how To respond appropriately. Take a breather, give yourself time to think; and if you still feel it's worth answering Then go do so but with a steady head on your shoulders.  

☺ Be Yourself…  and don't care what others say behind your back (or to your face). Keep in mind that when people talk badly about you, it's usually because they are envious--so I know it sounds hard, but try to take it as a compliment, or at the very least remember that only miserable people choose to be mean to others. Stay confident in who you are and keep on loving yourself! Cuz you're awesome!!!     

☺ Daily Gratitude Practice! (This tip is thanks to the lovely Sarah of Pretty You and Me Jewelry) Choose a friend and make it a new habit to exchange your 10 things your grateful for via text to eachother daily. If you don't text then do this by email, Facebook, etc. but be sure to do it daily! :)  

☺ Move on to the Next Chapter!  It can be difficult to stay positive when you have a bad day, but just remember that one day day doesn't mean you have a bad life. Keep on moving and keep on smiling! Turn the page and start your next chapter.  

☺ Share your wealth! Whatever that might be. For us, our garden has been bursting with lovely lovely greens, an abundance. We are so happy to be able to share the abundance with our friends and neighbours. Sharing is good for the soul, puts a smile on others' faces, and is good karma--because the more you focus on abundance, the more of an abundance you will have! So share the wealth, no matter how little or small!      

☺  "Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity." ~W. Clement Stone

☺ Law of Attraction Tip: Sometimes it's difficult to have faith in the Law of Attraction when we are trying to attract certain things and they are simply not coming. There are usually two huge reasons when we fail to attract things. One is belief, we absolutely have to believe that what we want is already ours--which is why it's usually easier to attract smaller things than bigger. Two is your mood, and this is probably the greatest fail point. If you're not happy, if you're not on the frequency of feeling good then you can't attract good things into your life--and chances are the things you are trying to attract into your life are good things. Feeling GOOD goes hand in hand with RECEIVING. So work on feeling good!     

☺ Those Meant to be in Your Life Will Be! The people that are meant to be in your life will always be there, and the people that aren't meant to be in your life will get weened out. So don't feel badly when certain people are no longer a part of your life. It all happens for the best and it all happens for a reason. The Universe is just looking out for you, trust it. And don't forget to do some weening yourself if certain people are doing nothing but causing you pain, suffering, and sadness--you're allowed to cut people out of your life, remember that!  

☺ Find Your Personal Therapy. We all have hobbies or things we do that can make us feel better, it's like instant therapy! For instance, my husband has always gotten his "personal therapy" from skateboarding; and I get mine from writing, in any form and about anything. Figure out what yours is and do it often. But don't rely on it; get your personal therapy to make you feel better, and then you will be able to observe a problem with a clearer mind and less weighted heart so that you can reach resolve.   

☺ Cut the Food Crap! If you're depressed, down, can't get the motivation to feel good, take a moment to stop and observe your life. Are you drinking alcohol? Coffee? Sugar? Processed foods? Any other mood inhibiting foods or habits? We truly truly do not think enough about what we eat and how it affects our moods, but it absolutely 100% does affect it! It affects your health, it affects your mind, and it can keep you feeling just plain blah, crazy, moody, and ready to rip people's heads off. So take a step back, pay attention to what you're putting into your body, and cut it completely out! If you want to be happy then I don't want to hear you complaining about cutting out certain foods; Happiness is more important than the five minutes of tasty treats (plus there are plenty of other amazing healthy treats you can enjoy once your taste buds aren't warped!).     

☺ On Particularly Bad Days…  when you feel as if you couldn't possibly endure, remind yourself that your track record for getting through rough days is 100%. And that's pretty good! So keep trying, keep pushing, keep positive, because this is just another challenge that you can get through. 

☺ Your Plan for the Week: Be amazing, be fabulous, be extraordinary, be wonderful, be magnificent, be incredible, and be brilliant! And then repeat! ;)     

☺  "A bad attitude can literally block love, blessings, and destiny from finding you. Don't be the reason you don't succeed." ~Mandy Hale.  

Don't forget to Create a Nice Day! To keep smiling, laughing, and spending time on joy!
