Now no matter how you feel, give yourself a chance to have a great day and say, "Today will be a great day!"

We all need reminders. Especially when we are trying to make a lifestyle change and develop new patterns of behavior and a new nueropathway. It can be overwhelming and we can get caught up in thinking about the future and go down the dark rabbit hole of negativity and overwhelming worry.

Wednesday is reminder day. Today the reminder is to stay grounded in your "right here right now reality self." Take one minute at a time and do your best with what is right in front of you. Let go of the rest. Don't be so hard on yourself. You are worthy of everything you want and need in your life. Never give uo!

We can and will get off the road we must follow. It might be a short detour or a seemingly endless road that takes us far away from our true- self. This road can be tempting. It's a road that blinds us from our values and can thrust us into self- indulgence, gratification and greed. If we don't take the road we fear we will miss out. During these times, when you are far removed from your true-self, hit bottom and are lost, you are never alone. God (or your Higher Power) is by your side waiting for you to lead you back to you, your true-self.

Listen to your inner voice, your conscience. It speaks to you. We all get lost and are found. We all make mistakes and are forgiven. If your lost, slow down, listen to your inner voice and ask to be led. You will be!

Forgive yourself, take responsibility and ask for forgiveness. It starts with you, within you. It started within you getting lost, it starts within you getting found. And, it's all about love and you are loved unconditionally because you are worthy!

Affirmation of the day: "I love knowing I am always loved, guided and supported."

Now no matter how you feel, give yourself a chance to have a great day and say, "Today will be a great day!"

It's not easy to "just be" in the moment. Especially if you are "externally love motivated." When our worth and self-love is low, we are "externally love motivated," basing our self-love and worth on everything extraneously. This is a false sense of self-love. Those who are externally love motivated are constantly chasing happiness, measuring their worth on achievements, living in conditional love for themselves (and others), are inferior and can be dependent and co-dependent (from my book "Strongly Rooted You").

It's nearly impossible to "just be" in the moment or "present" when we are "externally love motivated."

The weekend is a good time to practice being in the moment. You're free from whatever stress you may have with your job and free from the hustle and bustle of the week. Be intentional today to " just be" in the moment. You have everything you need inside of you to be "strongly rooted" in self-love and to live a life of peace that you deserve! You are worthy!

Affirmation of the day: "I love knowing in this moment I have everything I need because I am enough."

Now no matter how you feel, give yourself a chance to have a great day and say, "Today will be a great day!"

Affirmation of the day: "I am opening myself up to letting of anything I have taken on this past week consciously and unconsciously."

Now no matter how you feel, give yourself a chance to have a great day and say, "Today will be a great day!"

Reminder Wednesday -
It sometimes takes sacrifices to get to where you need to be. The sacrifices you may need to make are temporary. Remember, everything is temporary. You can get through whatever comes your way. I always remind myself of this phrase, "Short term sacrifice for long term reward or gain." Stay strong and keep moving forward. You are capable and you can! You are worthy and you matter!

Affirmation of the day: "I am opening myself up to accepting that sacrificing is part of my journey and growth."

Our future is not always clear. When we think ahead sometimes it feels right and sometimes it does not. Just open yourself up to clarity so you can be led by God (or your Higher Power)and trust you are. In simple terms, don't overthink, don't worry and surrender. Sometimes we don't know what we are trying to control or what is controlling us. Just let go and surrender to being controlled. Say, "I'm surrendering to what I am trying to control or what is controlling me." This will strengthen you and empower you. Now breathe. Take another deep breath. You are never alone on this journey. Have faith. You are loved and worthy!

Affirmation of the day: "I am opening myself up to the clarity and and faith I need to trust I am not alone on my journey."

Where are you with balance in your life? If you haven't put your emotional self first you need to start there.

Holding on to toxic emotions and negative self-defeating thoughts will keep you from having a balanced life. The goal is to have balance in your life. If you are in a good place emotionally and living out of your true self with no negative toxic emotions from your past controlling you, you can achieve satisfaction in your life, have balance and be happy in each area in your life.

So, where are you now in your life with balance? Chances are you cannot answer that question or maybe you already know. In my Book "Strongly Rooted You" there is a "Balance and Satisfaction" worksheet. It lists all the important categories in your life that will help you assess balance in your personal life. You can get the worksheet by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "balance worksheet."

Affirmation of the day: "I am worthy, deserving and capable of having balance in my life."

Now no matter how you feel, give yourself a chance to have a great day and say, "Today will be a great day!"

TGIF! Happy Friday. For those who don't know, I like to think of today as "Forgivenes Friday." It's a day to remind me that I can't change the past and need to let go of what I cannot change or control. Especially the last four days.(If you're carrying more inside you than the last four days, I suggest you read "Strongly Rooted." It's all about cleansing from the past so you can get back to your true self and live a life of peace).

I don't want to take this past week's baggage into my weekend. I want to focus on the task at hand for today and reset and refresh on my days off. You are worthy and deserve to live a life of feeling peace inside!

Affirmation of the day: "I love knowing the more I can forgive and accept my past, the more peace I will feel inside."
