Let's change our outlook on life by tweaking things a bit: taking walks, biking, better eating habits, that sort of thing. Nothing drastic just simple easy changes. Lord knows, I'm no doctor (maybe a doctor of love but that's another story) but I needed to slightly alter things and get my bad self back. Ya know? I think you do. Anyhoo, every now and again, I'm going to throw an episode like this out there. Our theme here on SMFRThePodcast has always been living our best life and making the best of every day, and hopefully stuff like this works for you as it does for me. So every few episodes let's see how it's working, ok? Love all y'all!

We may be exhausted, feeling overwhelmed, and we may question EVERYTHING, but we can’t let these feelings take us down. We’ve come to far to stop now haven't we? There's an IG account titled "mentalstrengthproject" and it's blunt and to the point; I don’t know who it is but love the directness of the posts. Totally on point and this is a great example. Check it out if you'd like, and remember the old saying "they can beat you but they can't eat you". Come to think of it, they can't beat us either. We are all winners so let's gooooo! Love all y'all!

Memories of friends and family can guide us or at the very least make us smile... those with us and those no longer here but always in our hearts. Do you have someone who's always popping into your mind? I sure do. Bill had such an impact on so many people, and though he's gone, he's still with us every day. Does that make sense? You betcha. So let's embrace memories of those we love - whether they're still in our mortal lives or they've passed. These awesome memories fill our hearts and there's no room for anxiety or ill thoughts when we allow such love inside. Which reminds me that hey, I love all y'all!

No matter what life throws at us, if we have a plan we believe in - don't give up! When nobody's cheering you on, when the haters come out, when no one gives a flip about you or your goals... screw it. Hey y'all know I've had my issues - still do - but these l'il podcasts and YT shorts remind me to keep going, continue to build character, and plow through. The end goal is worth it. Our happiness, knowing in our hearts that we did our best; all that and more. Wow, I love all y'all!

Let's get our swagger back - for real ok? Perhaps it was COVID, perhaps it was the crazy political circus or media overload... whatever happened, many of us lost our self-confidence and our swagger, so to speak. I know I did at times, and had to train my little gray cells (as Poirot would say) to tune out the garbage and get on with living my best life. I hope this short reminder helps you  - even in a small way - get back to being yourself and kicking some tail as the confident, awesome person that I know you are my friend. Love all y'all!

What, me worry? What good does it accomplish? The esteemed songwriter (and kind-of philosopher WIllie Nelson believes it can make us sick both mentally and physically. There's a lot of truth to that, so as we go through our day, let's keep that in mind; if we can change things for ourselves for the better let's do it by all means. But if we cannot and are making ourselves sick with worry... well, why? It does not good. As always these little reminders help me as I record them, and hopefully give you pause for thought as well. Thanks much for liking, subscribing, etc and don'tcha know I love all y'all!

Think lightly and ease your mind... a variation of our common themes here on SMFRThePodcast, such as living in the moment, taking a mind break, etc. I saw a quote by the author Aldous Huxley on the subject of "thinking lightly" an felt compelled to share it. Makes a lot of sense to me, and hopefully to you as well.  Love all y'all!

How to start over... we all get stuck in ruts - sometimes big, hopefully most of the time small. However, it's up to us to change things, to shake things up, to do whatever it takes to make the most of our days and our lives overall. These five simple reminders pretty much sum it up; at least for me and hopeful spurs your thinking and motivation. Love all y'all!

Every day is a special occasion isn't it? It doesn't take Christmas, Easter, birthdays, or whatever to make us appreciate our family and friends - or new friends we might make that day. If anything, appreciating those everyday moments make the "special" times even that much more special (did I say that right? Oh well...). Hey live in the moment, enjoy the simple times we've been bless with and don'tcha know that I love all y'all!

Two basic things we need to get things going in the right direction to start our day. So simple yet we often forget how important they are (and don't we all need a l'il reminder sometimes?). So before we can live our best lives productively and positively, we have to put ourselves in a position to do so and it all starts with here.  True story... and hey, I love all y'all!
