Positive Babble

This short and sweet Positive Babble is inspired by an entry from my favorite little book The Daily Book of Positive Quotations by Linda Picone.
I haven't been into this book in a few months and was thrilled to see today's entry was just perfect for a little reminder to us that we are never to old to try new things, start that new job, start that business, anything we want in life.
We've all fallen prey to the thought I'm to old to.... Insert want here! But we aren't to old. It's never to late. Get your ass in gear and set out to try that thing you've always wanted to.
I read something this week that said you will only be new at something once. Once you do it, it gets easier each time and that is so so true! Let's not limit ourselves. Let's push past the fear of not knowing and try!
I mention how I'm going to try and record all in one take, no editing. Let me give you a piece of advice. Never say that on the recording because then you mess up! Like I did. Haha. Listen through all the way to the end to hear my faux pax. Oh and yeah there is a little cussing involved. FYI. :)

Aloha Good Morning my fellow Positive Babblers!
Oh Yes it is Monday and a beautiful day at that. I share in this episode a brief rundown on how my Mindful in May efforts went. Well they went! Was I perfect, no. And that's okay! I'm so happy with the effort that was made and it brought me back to the present more times than I can count.
Keep being mindful and aware whether it's through Meditation each day or every other day or just waking up when you realize you're on autopilot. All we have is NOW! Let's live in it!
Taking time for yourself is, to me, a key component to living your best life. Today I took myself to a Yoga class this morning, which I usually don't due to it being Monday. Mondays are so busy, so much work to be done, I took the weekend off, excuse, excuse, excuse. I kindly reminded myself of the hours on social media I spent for work this weekend. The logging in and checking emails and going to the UPS Store all for work, so what's an hour and a half out of my Monday morning? It's nothing. It's a trade off worth making and whether or not I worked some this weekend, I deserve to take the time I need. And so do you!
Now I'm jazzed and ready to rock this day out! Oh YEAH!
Treat yourself with loving kindness. You deserve to love yourself in all your amazing glory! Take the time you need today and everyday even if just a few minutes. Find what brings you joy and fit that in your day! It will shift you mind, body and spirit in the best possible way!
Love you all!

Aloha lovely Positive Babblers!
It's Memorial Day in the U.S. and on this fine Day, I hope you remember that we have SOOO much to be grateful for. So much going right in our lives. Let's take notice today of all days and never forget the sacrifice of those who have made our freedoms possible! Thank you to all who have served and who continue to serve!
I share yet another fantastic entry from my YOU are a BADASS desk Calendar by Jen Sincero! Man this woman is on fire with these entries.
Focus on GIVING! Giving your money to the establishments that you buy things from. Giving your thanks to the employees that help you. Giving them a smile and your thanks can make their whole day. Giving thanks because we have the money, the physical ability and the car to get us there! Talk about so much to be grateful for!
I go into my own process of gratitude around paying my bills. I've done this for YEARS!! I always think out loud how much I LOVE to pay my bills! Because I CAN!
This also reminded me to flip the "I need to", and the "I have to" to the I GET TO!
It will take practice, but if you do this with everything think of how your energy will shift.

Have an amazing week!!!

I needed something light and easy this week to share and I found it. I took us back into the Daily Book of Positive Quotations by Linda Picone and this is a real gem.
Straight forward and to the point, if you think you can you will and if you think you can't you won't. This entry is so right on. There is no great mystery behind positive thinking. It is all up to us to figure out how we want to face the world each day. Do you jump in with a smile or trudge in head down. Some days it feels harder than others to gather up the courage to change your thinking, but it's worth the effort. I have proved it to myself time and time again. I hope you know you are worth that effort too friend.
This week I chose a different method of delivering your Positive Babble. How do you like the episode minus the intro and outro and set to music?? I really like it. It was an experiment and again, I did it all myself so I am celebrating that.
I got this idea from a great friend, Beth Lease, over at the So, I Got Divorced Podcast. She does the super cool background music in her podcast too! Check her out anywhere you get your podcasts from she's fantastic.
Thanks for listening!
Have an amazing week!

I keep reading that having one difficult, disappointing or embarrassing thing happen to us in a day can keep us from noticing anything good or even great that happens in addition. Well that just sucks. I know I've been guilty of it on occasion myself.
In this short babble I talk about how maybe we can try something else. Let's become more aware of the fact we are zooming in on something unpleasant or obsessing about something we can't control, then like a camera lens, zoom out again and let our whole day come into the picture. Once we do that we can start to list all the great things that went on. Once we see an example of something happy, fun or great, zoom in on that. Focus your attention there.
Repeat this as often as you'd like so you can truly see how much good stuff your day is composed of. Remember the good things are often the little things, so don't pass up that great cup of coffee you got from your favorite barista or the woman that told you how she liked your hair! It all counts my friends.
