Motivational Monday: Pick Yourself Up When You Fall

Hello Friends!

This week’s motivation is devoted to our recovery from the times when we fall flat on our face (metaphorically & literally speaking).

Failure is an important part of the learning process. When we make mistakes, fail miserably, and come across road bumps, we learn important lessons about ourselves and our journey. If we never failed, we would never know how great success would feel. The failures give new meaning, depth, and purpose to our goals. Many great leaders have come across some type of failure that gave them extra momentum.

You may have obstacles, this does not define you. They should just push you to be even better than before. Where are you lacking? Perhaps you just need to re-evaluate your tactics or maybe you need some additional assistance from an expert. Keep going, move forward. Never give up, despite how “unrealistic” your dreams may be.

Motivational Monday: Trust Your Instincts

Greetings and Happy Monday!

Our instincts serve as a wonderful tool and should be used often. They let us know when we are off tract with our purpose, or if someone or something is not right in our lives. It’s that feeling you get inside your gut, also known as your “gut reaction”, that indicate whether or not we should do or not do.


It gets difficult to hear the message from our instincts when we have too many distractions and external influences. Remove the clutter from your mind by meditating often. Just close your eyes and take a few seconds to breathe and be calm; the stillness will provide clarity and peace.

Trust your instincts, they are a vital tool to use while navigating throughout life. Don’t doubt yourself. You have all the inner guidance you need to maneuver through life. Build that confidence to believe in yourself. Sometimes we may feel as though we need our hands to be held to make decisions, but we have what it takes to make the decision on our own. We are the masters of our own lives. We know ourselves best. No one know exactly what works best for you but you. It can be a bit intimidating to know that we are the ultimate decision makers of our life, hence why people just blame others for their own life circumstances. Take accountability for your life!


Happy healthy living!

Xoxo,

~Mary

Motivational Monday: Give Back When You Receive

Greetings!!

Today’s motivation is about giving, especially when you receive.

When things work out the way you wished or better than what you anticipated, be sure to give back to show your gratitude.

Return the favor, brighten someone else’s day. When you give any part of you to others, the rewards are abundant. Whether they are intrinsic or extrinsic, they are indeed abundant.

Our society has conditioned many of us to take a more selfish approach. “It’s mine” or “what’s in it for me?” Life should not be about that. Give freely, love openly. Don’t put limits on how much you open your heart. The past experiences do make it difficult, but don’t be defined by your past.

Give of your time, your love, your possessions, give something. You will be surprised how that giving will manifest in your life. Gratitude is the best attitude.

Continue to live with passion!


Happy healthy living!!

Xoxo,

~Mary

Motivational Monday: Tune Out The Junk!

Happy Monday Friends!

Let’s dedicate this entire week to tuning out the mindless clutter that can distract us while in pursuit of our mission and goals in life.



Everyday we get inundated with a multitude of meaningless information that can easily distract or remove us from our momentum of getting our work done. It’s so easy to get distracted, it is also very easy for someone to influence our thoughts and decisions regarding our goals. The key is to keep our goals shielded in the depths of our hearts, minds, and possibly on a vision board.

Keep the energy strong, stay focused. Protect your passions, keep them safe from being tainted. Keep the naysayers and those doubters a good distance away. When people try to shoot your dreams down, do not allow it to affect you. Don’t give it significance, just keep your beliefs strong. You can achieve ANYTHING you want in this life. There is no limit but the ones we specifically set up for ourselves. Anything that has been created in this life started from a tiny dream that someone had and it evolved into a passion that was burning in the depths of their soul and guess what??? They made that ish happen!!! Yes, if they did it, so can you!

Keep the garbage out, keep the prized goals and ambitions safe and untainted! Good Luck and keep working! Never give up!

Happy Living!

Xoxo,

~Mary
