Three Simple New Years Resolutions

         Sometimes all some people can do is produce negativity. There is nothing worse than someone who refuses to have a positive outlook on life. That's what my blog is centered around, trying to avoid those negative people and start surrounding yourself with people who have the same goals as you do.  Finding friends that have the same goals and same values as you do is very important.  No one deserves to be alone and no one deserves to be put down all the time.  God put us on Earth to be happy and that is what we need to achieve.
           The Devil will always try to put obstacles in our way. In the end, however, He knows that God has already won the battle. If the Devil didn't try to defeat me, I'd be worried because then He would have won. I find that reading my Bible daily and praying to God is the most comforting thing that a person could do. As much as possible, we need to keep our minds always attentive to the Lord and away from worldly attractions,  God understood that no one is perfect and made a way for us to be forgiven.  There is no way we can be sinless, but we should try every way possible to walk as closely as we can to the Lord.
            So my New Years Resolution this year is to read my Bible all the way through.  That is only one resolution that I have made.  The second exercise is to maintain a better exercise schedule and to drink more water.  The third resolution is to be more diligent in my coupons and savings. I want to try to get my lotion making business going more steadily and try to stay away from fast food restaurants. That's not to say I won't eat at them, but to be more wise about the food I pick. I encourage you to pick three New Years Resolutions that you need to do anyway and try to do everything you can to stick to them!   #happynewyear#beblessed

Food For Thought

A journaling topic that Kim Erickson suggests is as following, " Write some things that happened this week that got in the way of your having a joyful day."   Well,  honestly, I could sit down forever and talk about this topic.  It's these kind of affirmations that have really gotten me through the day.  I wish I had known about them when I was younger.  Middle School and High school might have been a little easier.  However, I never really had any bullies attack me then.  At that time, the only real bully was my inner-self.  I stayed positive and always tried to keep my mind on God and things that do not concern this world.  Happy places, quiet places, and dreaming about far off worlds usually kept my mind busy.   That is how it is today as well, but sometimes, having a reminder every now and then doesn't hurt.   Not everyone is going to be your friend, and not every one is going to send positive vibes.  Sometimes you have to do it yourself, you have to wake up thi

for Thursday

s   I have been reviewing products for a while now.  I usually try to pick items that I actually want to use on a day to day basis.  Excitingly, this is one of the recent items I earned in exchange for an honest", unbiased", opinion.  My opinion is that it is "awesome!"     I will use this bag every time I go to the gym to workout.  Of course, my definition of "working out," is not the same as everyone else's definition yet, but I am stepping  higher each time.  Having fancy gym attire is not required, but definitely very, very helpful.    I am sure that people will eventually get tired of hearing about this bag, I am proud to own it.  I would have paid the full amount for this bag.  It has many, many pockets and a place for your water bottle as well.  It not only can be used as a gym bag, but as a travel bag also.  I love the length of the shoulder strap.  The best part about the shoulder strap is the padding they added for extra support.    Thi

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!
