Morning Mantra: “You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time.”

The most beautiful masterpieces were not created quickly. They were built day by day. Year by year. Some took a lifetime.
The same applies to you.

Every day, you have the opportunity to expand and build on yourself. Every day, you have the ability to learn new things.  For example, you go through difficult times to learn how to be strong. You experience joy to help you see how beautiful life can be.

Every day, offers you opportunities to shape you while allowing you to shine as the masterpiece you are. These opportunities are there to help you recognize your greatness, and learn to love yourself- even the things you find unappealing.

Every day, you progress in your understanding of what will bring you closer to the best version of yourself, and closer to your best life.

Morning Mantra: "The sooner you believe that things can change, the faster they will."

If you keep your mind so busy with worry, regrets, and fear, it has no time to believe that things can change for the good. Not only are you creating doubt, you are creating delays.

Staying in a worrying or doubting space keeps your energetic vibrations too low to attract the positive change you desire.

You have to BELIEVE that it will happen.  You have to FEEL like it already has. See yourself there. Imagine how you will feel. Be grateful for it BEFORE it happens.
All of these things raise your vibration to a positive one that attracts. One that creates your new reality.

Never doubt the power of your thoughts. Your thoughts become feelings, then behaviors and actions that get things dome or keep you stuck.

Morning Mantra: "Never ruin an apology with an excuse." 

The word 'but' is a relationship killer.  It is usually followed by an argument or an excuse.  "I am sorry, but...."  Excuses are worthless. They make US feel better, they allow US to deceive ourselves, they help US to shuck responsibility.  But they do nothing for those that we hurt.  

It really doesn't matter WHY you did what hurt them, just own it, apologize, and learn from it.  Here are a few ways to apologize that shows that you own your mistake and it's impact on who you hurt:

"I understand that I disappointed or hurt you. Those were not my intentions, but I still take responsibility."

"You have every right to feel hurt and upset. I understand that my actions or words made you feel this way."

Growing and learning from mistakes are part of any relationship. Accountability is the first step in moving forward.

Morning Mantra: "Listen to the silence. It has so much to say."

You won’t regret the quiet moments – when you pause for love, notice the sky, or simply breathe and feel alive. That’s the real magic. So don’t rush past it. 

There’s something so sacred in the quiet moments. They hold space for you to truly see, feel, and just be.  To learn to sit with yourself.  To learn to recognize your inner voice so you can hear it over the noise of life.

Sometimes we allow the noise to dominate our lives because we are afraid of the quiet.  If that's you, in your quiet moments, pay attention to your thoughts. Because maybe, just maybe, the only thing that needs to shift in order for you to experience more happiness, more love, and more peace, is your way of thinking.

We can’t be afraid of silence, it has much to teach us.

Morning Mantra: “Every time you express gratitude, you are having a conversation with the miracles already taking place in your life."

Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows, the more powerful effect it has on your life. There are actual studies about the effects of gratitude on people. One suggests that people that practice gratitude daily are happier, healthier and more able to navigate life's set-backs.

Another found that a gratitude practice can rewire your brain to reduce stress, improve sleep and improves self-esteem.  Another found that gratitude can improve relationships because you see what you are thankful for in them instead of what is missing.

Practicing gratitude attracts more blessing so if you do not practice gratitude, the attraction it provides for more goodness into your life will be diminished.

To be grateful is to find blessings everywhere. This is the easiest attitude to adopt because there ARE blessings in everything. It just takes practice to notice them.  Start today and see if you can find reasons to be grateful throughout your day.

Morning Mantra: "Faith is taking the first step even though you can't see the staircase."

Faith is a universal language.  There is a word for faith in every culture and religion.  There must be a reason for that.  Maybe it's because faith is necessary to the human condition.

The process of growing and learning about life and ourselves requires a tremendous amount of faith. When you are lost or don't know the answer, sometimes the best thing you can do is not over-think , not worry, and not be too afraid of getting it wrong.

Just breathe, have faith and take the first step.  Believe that everything will work out for the best.  Keep the faith, you either get it right or you will learn what to do next time.

Morning Mantra: “Two things to remember: Take care of your thoughts when you are alone and take care of your words when you are not.”

I’ll admit it, I get in my head too much. My thoughts can create drama, suspense, fear, anger, and a host of other emotions. So, I try to remember that I create my reality through my thoughts. I am the one HAVING the thoughts and that most of the time my thoughts are not based on what’s really happening.

If I let my thoughts spin out of control it can lead to “words I wish I hadn’t spoken” when I am around others. So, I practice the pause and try to wait a few moments and collect my thoughts before my mouth runs away with me.

These two life skills can save you from a great deal of misunderstanding and suffering. What are your ways to stop racing thoughts or a run away mouth?

Morning Mantra: “It is what it is.”

I must have said this 10 times this past weekend.  I did a show with my mobile unit and sales were not great.  I had to accept the fact that the goal I set was not going to be met.

It is what it is can be one of the most difficult concepts to wrap your head around, because we tend to see things as we WANT them to be, not as they are.

If a situation, relationship, or problem can be changed, then by all means, work on it. If it can’t, then you must learn to accept it, As. It. Is.

When you focus on what IS NOT, then you remove the opportunity for gratitude. Being grateful for what you already have, like the sales I WAS making and how beautiful the weather was, often attracts more of what you want. Focusing on how it's NOT puts you in a negative head space and lowers your ability to see things clearly. It also makes you feel bad.

Accepting things/people as they are doesn’t mean you’ve given up, it means you’ve learned to let go of things you can’t control. Nothing I could have done would have changed the fact that there were fewer people at the show than expected and those that were there just weren't buying what I was selling.  

It is what it is, not what it should be, not what it could have been.  And that's OK.

Morning Mantra: "One of the hardest things to do is to forgive someone that isn't sorry."

Sometimes people don’t say sorry. Sometimes people don’t believe they were wrong. But that doesn’t matter. Apologies aren’t what vindicate you, you vindicate yourself.

Don’t wait for someone to apologize and hold a grudge against them until they do. Do you know why? Because the person that feels the wrath of your anger, frustration, and hatred, is you.

Rather than waiting for an apology, or expecting one to come, realize it may never happen, and that’s OK. Because your happiness doesn’t depend on someone else saying sorry. Your life and your happiness depend on you and no one else.

Morning Mantra: "Everything changes when you realize that the best version of yourself is not a future version, but a daily choice."

Often we imagine that we will work really hard at life and then arrive at some perfect version of ourselves in the future. Then we will be happy. This is a delusion. Your best self is the result of a life lived with purpose, choosing yourself, your highest self, with every decision you make. 

Asking yourself “What would my best self do?"  "What would my best self say in this situation?" 

It begins by having a clear vision of who you want to be.  By asking yourself, "What IS the highest version of myself?"  Who do you visualize as that person? How do they act, think, speak, look? Then live your life as this person now. It is a process within the movement of life itself. 

See it as an activity. Daily choices to choose the high road living with intention, kindness, love, living from your heart. Or choosing the lower road, living without much thought of how your actions and words impact others. This is living from your ego. 

Every day with every decision you get the choice to live as the best version of you.  To be who you want to be NOW.
