Morning Mantra: “Don’t trust everything your mind is telling you.”

It all begins and ends with your mind and what you think. If your mind tells you that you aren’t good enough you will begin to believe it. 

If your mind reacts with anxiety or fear in a stressful situation, you will be stressed and  fearful. If you think you can’t do something, you’ll stay stuck. 

If you interpret someone’s behavior as a reflection of your worth, then you won’t behave in a way that opens your heart for a deeper connection.

Control your mind and you can change your life. Grab your power back, don’t believe everything you think. Calm your thoughts.  Get out of your head and back to your heart. Step back from your immediate reaction and look for the truth.

Make sure your own worst enemy isn’t living between your own two ears.

Morning Mantra: “Life isn’t always fair.”

I remember when my kids were little and they would complain about how unfair something was and my sister always said, "Life isn't always fair." I chuckled then but she was right.

It's true; some people are born into better environments, some have better genetics, and some know the right people and others are in the right place at the right time.  When you’re trying to change your life all of that is irrelevant.  All that matters is that you accept where you are, figure out where you want to be, and then do what you can to make that happen.

No matter what life hands you, no matter how unfair things may seem, refuse to play the victim. Today and every day, hold your head high and keep moving forward. Life can be unfair sometimes but that is no reason to give up.

Morning Mantra: "Life humbles you as you age, and you realize what really matters."

Today is your opportunity to be humbled. Today is the time to stop focusing on what doesn’t matter, and start focusing on what will move you forward with grace, dignity and love.
We all have the ability to look within, and find what matters and what doesn’t.
Who matters, and who doesn't.
Where you want to spend your time, and where you won't waste it anymore.
That your voice matters, the noise outside doesn't.
That your truth matters, the need to blend in doesn't.
Take some time today to figure out your priorities.

Morning Mantra: “Judge me when you're perfect, otherwise, get lost.”

I love this quote because we all know that no one is perfect, therefore, no one has the right to judge.  We are not here to judge each other anyway; we are here to lift each other up.

When we criticize, condemn, blame, denounce or find fault, we lower our own vibration to one that does not attract what you need to be YOUR best self.  By judging others we blind ourselves to our own faults and to the grace that others are just as entitled to.

If you find yourself wanting to judge, maybe ask yourself, "What is it in me that is creating this need to feel better than them"?
"What is holding me back from compassion, understanding and love?"
Then, do the work to change that.

The happiest people I know are always evaluating and improving themselves, the unhappy people are judging others and never look inward.

Morning Mantra: “Trauma comes back as a response, not a memory.”

Trauma compromises your ability to engage with others by replacing connection with patterns of protection. That’s why healthy relationships are difficult for wounded people in survival mode.

Traumatic events, by definition, overwhelm our ability to cope. When the mind becomes flooded with emotion, a circuit breaker is thrown that allows us to survive the experience. The cost of this blown circuit is emotion frozen within the body.

Trauma creates change you didn’t choose; healing is about creating change you do choose. Healing requires discomfort, but so does refusing to heal. You must feel the pain and learn to release its control to heal. But that's so much better than living with the pain and letting IT control your emotions.

Morning Mantra: "You often feel tired not because you did too much, but because you did too little of what sets our soul on fire."

We can fill every. single. moment. of our day with things, stuff, busy work. And yes, you will probably be tired at the end of the day.  But when you don't have a jammed packed schedule, and you are tired anyway, that's when you know you need to fill some of your time doing what you love.

When you do what you love, you won't feel tired, you will feel energized! excited! lit!  Passion is energy. You'll feel the power that comes from what excites you.

Make sure you create some balance in your life to stay motivated and happy.

Morning Mantra: "Today may I remember the 5 S's"
I am Safe.
I am Strong.
I am Seen.
I am Supported.
I am a Survivor.

Say these to yourself over and over each day until you feel it.
You can choose to start any day off with your head held high, a smile on your face, and one foot in front off the other, just as much as you have the power to choose fear and indecision. Let this be the time that you choose yourself!

Morning Mantra: "Your heart knows the way, run in that direction.”

Whenever you are confused about a decision, remember this quote by Rumi.
Then, stop overthinking and start listening to your heart.

Run towards what you love, towards what speaks to you. 
Run towards your dreams- the ones you can't stop thinking about.
Run towards self care.
Run towards inner peace.
Run towards your truth.
Run towards what sets your soul on fire.
Run towards your passion and you will find your purpose.
Run as if your life depends on it, because, it does.

Morning Mantra: "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you."

Anxiety and tension are no fun.  They put a damper on everything from how you think, to how you feel.  Many of us struggle with it so much we feel like we are in a constant state of "fight or flight" mode.  

We have an anxious thoughts because our brain is always trying to keep us alive. To the brain, survival is much more important than happiness. So, the brain conjures up worst case scenarios, and "what ifs" so that we can be prepared for anything. The trouble is, the brain regularly gets it wrong.

So, it's up to you to let the brain know when it can relax.  When you feel overwhelmed, or when anxiety swoops in and makes your nervous system feel like it's on high alert, here's a two minute, incredibly effective reset. 

First things first, feel your feet firmly on the floor or grass – really press down and feel that solid, grounding foundation beneath you. 

Then, take three slow, deliberate breaths in through your nose, and then let out a big, audible sigh through your mouth. 

After that, gently unclench your jaw, allowing it to softly drop, and slowly roll your shoulders back and around, really feeling the movement as you release any tension. 

Finally, gently shake out your hands, your arms – heck, why not your whole body? Think like a dog or horse shaking off water– you're literally shaking off all that doesn't belong to you. 

Now check in with your body-how do you feel? Chances are, you’ve shifted from that 'fight or flight' mode into a calmer space. If not, no worries at all – just repeat these steps as many times as you need.

Quote: Anne LaMott

Morning Mantra: "Don't downgrade your dreams to match your reality. Upgrade your faith to match your destiny."

There are many people that never realize their dreams because they focus on the obstacles instead of their goal.  They fill their head with doubt, fear, and reasons they can't get there, instead of using that same energy to plan how they will get it done.

You were given talents and dreams. They are in you for a reason.
You'll never be given a dream that matches your budget, it has nothing to do with your bank account, it's all about your faith.
You'll never be given a dream that seems easy to obtain- that is why it is called a dream. It takes hard work and dedication.
.
So find your faith, be ready to work hard, BELIEVE without a doubt, and leave the rest to God.
