Motivational Monday

How do you start your day?

   I have come to the conclusion that how you start your day is typically how it will end.  Sometimes that is not true, but mostly is.  I see so many with a grumpy face.  It may backfire on me, but these are the ones who I make the most effort in trying to be cheerful.  It really upsets them for some reason.

   No, I'm not extreme about it, but I do wonder how people live without Jesus in their lives. With so much negativity,  How do they get through their day?  They really can't be happy.  I've had some question my happiness.  That's okay too, but did you know that being sad actually makes you age faster?  It's true.

   I always have gotten remarks on how young I look.  It used to bother me, but now I am grateful.  I try to remember that This Too Shall Pass"  and go on with my day.  People aggravate me about not using foul language or going to church but for some reason that just makes me happier to be a Christian.   I'm glad I'm a Christian and I am thankful for the Christians in my life.

  To conclude,  I always need to start my day on a positive note.  I will listen to Christian music, read a Scripture or a good book.  It's important to make time to focus on God on a daily basis.  My quiet time is an important part of the day. 

 


           

 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 

Revelation 21:4

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 !!
