Hi!

Have you said to yourself lately,  “I would really like to do ‘x’ “ but, your negative thoughts tells you not to?  Why do we feel guilty when we spend on ourselves?  Not all of us feel this way but for many of us, we’ve got that negative self-talk – a voice – a script that is on constant repeat - perhaps from your mother, grandmother, partner, etc, that tells us we shouldn’t spend on ourself.  

In today’s show, I’m sharing with you my latest adventure as a solo traveler to an overnight destination spa a few hours from where I live.  It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?  It was.  But for me to get there, I had some negative self-talk that I had to overcome.

If you too struggle with spending on you, you’re in the right place.  We are worthy of spending money that we earn on things that really matter to us.  And I’ve got a positive affirmation you can use to help you reframe those thoughts and get you, finally taking action and doing the things you really want to do. 

Let’s do this, it’s time to choose happy!

Cheers,

Marie

Hello,

Do you have people in your life who are trying to tell you how to live your life?  It’s time to tell them, “Thank you, I’ll take that into consideration.” And go make your own decisions.

In today’s show, I’m sharing with you 3 ways to start taking back your personal power.   Enough with people telling us what to do with our life, it’s time for us to make those decisions – the choose happy choices – that will result in living the life that we want for ourselves and our family.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Marie

Hello,

Eating healthy and exercising are common New Year's resolutions. We start the year with good intentions and then, life gets busy and well, there’s no time for that, right? There is time.  We must prioritize it in our life.  I know changes are not easy, especially for those of us whose negative thoughts are standing in the way of following through – even if it’s on our to do list.  In today’s show, I’m digging into these topics and giving you an affirmation that I use to help me stay on track for eating healthy and exercising.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Marie

Hello,

Another day goes by, you’re lying in bed, and your mind starts thinking about everything you did and didn’t do – especially the didn’t do.  Why do those stick out? Perhaps on your ‘didn’t do’ list, you didn’t get to do anything that would make you happy today. Instead, you responded to everyone’s request of you, and you couldn’t even take your lunch break (sigh).  So many of us are just getting by. That’s not living a happy life.  In today’s show, I’m sharing with you three reasons why you’re not living a happy life today.  Yes, there are many reasons, but today, I’m going to focus on three that I hear a lot of from members of the show.

Cheers,

Marie

Hello,

Do you wake up with negative thoughts?  Fear? Worry?  What if you had a platform to capture those negative thoughts?  In today’s show, I’m introducing you to Julia Cameron’s “morning pages” from her Artist’s Way book.   They are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, ideally done first thing shortly after you wake up.  This morning habit can help you break free from the negative thinking and cultivate a positive mindset before 9am!

Cheers,

Marie
