Welcome 2024! What does a New Year mean to you?

Leave a comment

Happy New Year! I hope you all had nice holidays filled with love, laughter, peace, great people & good food! I know mine were all of the above!

As we enter into a new year, a lot of us reflect on the past year. What we had planned to accomplish versus what we actually accomplished. The changes last year brought, the ups, the downs, the goods, the bads, etc.

For many of us, a new year means a new beginning, a fresh start, a clean slate, etc! For some of us, it’s the first day of season, month, or week! We have so many options to start or restart on our goals!

I personally do not set resolutions but do believe in the power of goals, habits, plans, etc. These things can come from resolutions. I do not believe that we have to wait for a new year to make changes or start working on our goals, but I understand the symbolism.

I do believe that we can’t succeed without starting. I believe that we don’t fail unless we stop trying. A dream is a goal without a plan. The first step to achieving your dreams is to make them a goal by giving them a plan! Then you just have to start on the plan, as many times as needed!

What does the New Year mean to you? Did you set resolutions this year?

Blogtober Day 2: Motivated Monday

Are you wearing your positive pants?

Hi all! Happy Monday! Just like Monday is a state of mind, so is positivity. We all get to choose what our state of mind is when approaching any day or situation.

I deal with situations on most days in which I have to make the decision to put on my positive pants. It really helps the outcome be much better than my brain originally imagined. For example, I work in a pharmacy part-time. There is this one particular patient that is always grumpy and honestly a little nasty. After my first two encounters with him, I decided that I would be over the top nice to him in the future because I didn’t know what he might be going through. The next few times I saw him, I smiled big and very excitedly greeted him, thanked him for his visit, etc. After a few weeks had passed, I saw him exiting the pharmacy as I was enetering, and he smiled at me and waved! It was very touching and made my day!

Is there a specific day of the week or situation you are dealing with that you need to adjust your mindset? Are you choosing to wear your positivity pants today? I would love your input on this topic. How has changing your mindset/state of mind helped change the outcome of a particular situation?

Be Peacful,

July’s Journey!

Leave a comment

Hi all! I can’t believe it’s July already!

I hope 2023 is treating you all well! For me, it has been good, but very busy. I had to give myself grace in some areas so I didn’t get overwhelmed. Now that things seem like they are settling and I’m feeling more comfortable, it is time to restart my health journey!

Below is a peek at what I’m working on…

I decided to make monthly goals, break those goals into smaller steps, and only plan one week at a time. I can reevaluate each week to see what worked and what didn’t, then readjust accordingly.

How do you goal plan? How do you track your progress? I look forward to hearing from you and sharing July’s Journey with you!

Be Peaceful,

Are you serious or making excuses?

Blogtober Day 31: Motivated Monday

Today, instead of sharing a Monday Motavtional quote, I will share what I am motavted to start……… No Excuse November!

No Excuse November! Make the Time, Plan, Check It Off!

For No Excuse November, I am challenging myself to continue to post daily as well as take steps to establish some new habits. The daily posting and the new habits are all in line with my larger goals, both short and long term.

I will continue with themed daily posts, but some of the themes will change to better fit the No Excuse November theme and my planned habits. I will also start to incude some vlogs.

Last Tuesday in my teaser post announcing No Excuse November, I mentioned that one of my goals was better routines, especially for wake-up and bedtime, which will start with early wake-up times. Below are all five habits I will be incorporating throughout November.

  • Wake-up by 5:45 am
  • 20 Minutes Activity
  • Track All Food
  • 15 minutes Personal Growth Reading
  • 30 Minutes Blog/Vlog Work/Research

My goal is to complete each habit 5 out of 7 days. Below is the tracker I will be using.

I hope you will join me in No Excuse November, while we elimate excuses in order to work towards our goals and habits. Share in the comments what habits or goals you are working towards and any steps you plan to take to get there.

Be Peaceful,
