Let's Make It About Giving!

05/30/22 • 9 min

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.

Reliving The Past? Tips To Help You Stop Before You Spiral!

This topic, reliving the past, the not so good parts, was something I journaled about recently.
That thing that happened to us or that bad decision we made keeps coming back to haunt us. Why? Because we allow it to... Now, don't get me wrong, moving past things that we regret or that were traumatizing for us is no easy feat.
Think about this though, what happens when you relive past unhappy moments? You relive it! Your whole body goes through it all AGAIN. Meaning you are affecting your emotional and physical health AGAIN. Remember your brain doesn't know the difference between what is real and what is imagined.
I bet you can think of a time when you were reliving an unpleasant moment how funky you felt. How you tightened up, felt irritated, angry and unsettled. You allowed something you can't change to affect you in the present moment, stealing your peace!
We've all done it and let's be honest we will probably do it again. So, what can we do to interject and stop ourselves before we go down the rabbit hole?
Say STOP (when you become aware your spiraling or starting to spiral) use your name! Look in the mirror when you do this if you can!
Then, once you do that take a deep breath.
Then say, you are okay, you are safe.
Start saying to yourself, You survived! Look how far you've come! You can do better going forward and make better choices starting NOW!!
Then think of all the things going right in your life right now. It doesn't matter how long the list is just make the list and repeat it in your mind or write it down, but turn your focuse to what is going right in your life.
This is just a quick way for you to stop yourself from allowing the past to come back and bite you!
That is all for today my friends. Let me know what you think about this process and if you try it out, let me know how it went. DM me on Facebook or Instagram @PositiveBabble or email me at [email protected]
Make it a great week!

Take Time For Yourself When You Need It!

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!
