We are going through a challenging time, you have probably gotten SO MANY emails talking about what companies are doing in this time and on a global scale, we are at our peak in anxiety and everywhere we turn is bad news and worry

So how do we deal with these crazy thoughts?
How do we fix our anxiety?

Well, let’s start with ourselves and a couple of things we can do to just calm the heck down!

Recipe to make your own Hand sanitizer
Making your own hand sanitizer is easy to do and only requires a few ingredients:

• isopropyl or rubbing alcohol (99 percent alcohol volume)
• aloe vera gel
• an essential oil, such as tea tree oil or lavender oil, or you can use lemon juice instead

***UPDATE: We had to cancel all travel plans because there will be a Government shutdown enforced here real soon by the National Guard...nice lol**

“Imposter Syndrome is the feeling that you haven’t earned your success, you simply got lucky, and you’re a fraud or “imposter” around people who actually earned it and know what they’re doing. ”

Let’s talk about Imposter Syndrome...⁣
I have it, you probably have it.⁣ It doesn’t really seem to go away.⁣ But, I like to think of it as fear in disguise.⁣ And with fear comes comfortability⁣
⁣
If you’re comfortable, you’re not dreaming big enough. You’re not taking any risks.⁣
You’re not DOING to your fullest potential.⁣ If you're afraid, that's good.
⁣It means you were meant to do it.⁣
It means you weren't meant to fall but, to fly.⁣
⁣
You were meant for more.⁣
So tell that to the “imposter syndrome” in your mind the next time you doubt yourself.⁣ It is only the FEAR of failing but, failure always leads to learning…
then learning leads to success.⁣
⁣
You’re not an imposter.⁣ You’re a dreamer, a doer.⁣
⁣You got this⁣. WE got this⁣

Today we are talking about GOALS. Not necessarily resolutions but, maybe write down a grocery list of ideas, set it aside and come back to it to keep yourself accountable?
