It takes more muscles to frown than smile.
A smile ( a true one) is a universal language that puts people and yourself at ease , giving a great first impression and a positive last impression.
You can dress in the nice seat most expensive clothes but if your attitude is off it all goes to naught.
People that are able to smile, even when things aren’t great will find more positive comes their way.
Be mindful of your expressions 😊

Do you “follow your heart”, “use your head”, or “listen to your gut” when making decisions?
I was taught to use my head, that emotion based decisions wasn’t good and ignore your gut feelings.
This led me to question alit of my decisions because while they were safe and logical they sometimes felt off.
Today, fast forward many years of trial and disaster, I use a more holistic approach, listening to each “brain” and trying to get a better understanding from different perspectives before deciding.
How do you make your decisions?

We spend so much time living and reliving in our past and wake up one morning and think where’d the time go?
Yes we all have a past but it doesn’t need to control our today.
Observe it, learn from it and move forward making today and the future better.
It’s up to us to let it go. No one else. As the saying goes “ the best part of the past is that it’s over “

We rush through our lives so fast with our thoughts racing, and wonder why we’re stressed and under pressure.
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing. It’s 5 precepts help balance the mind and body allowing you to stay present in the moment. I come back to these often especially when feeling overwhelmed.
So, just for today……

Do you tell yourself “I’ll be happy when…?”
Many of us put an end goal to be happy. As if we need permission or a reason. You don’t need permission.
What happens if that reason doesn’t happen? Do we stay unhappy?
We waste so much time waiting for joy or happiness that we don’t realize that it’s really by expressing our joy is what gives us those precious moments that turn into beautiful memories.
Stop waiting to express you joy.

How we communicate with others has huge effects on our relationships, personally and professionally.
People think that assertive and aggressive communication are the same , but that’s not the case.
Assertive communication is clear, precise, and constructive . You take into consideration and respect your and others’ needs.
Aggressive communication is more about controlling others’ behavior. It could be hurtful with lack of empathy and understanding.
When you speak with assertiveness others feel respected and valued and relationships improve. When you speak aggressively people are left feeling hurt with negative results.
Are you more of an assertive communicator or aggressive one?

The benefits of practicing gratitude are endless.
Gratitude keeps us present and reminds us that there are already good things in our lives.
The smallest of things can cause us gratitude. Like a flower in a garden or a nice conversation with a friend. It doesn’t take a lot, only to be aware.
The more you practice gratitude the better life becomes.
What are you grateful for today?

We’re always waiting for the “perfect” or “right” time to take that leap to our dreams.
Let me tell you that there’s never a perfect time. I’m not saying go blindly and without thought . At the same time overthinking can hold you back. We worry about if things don’t work out. But what happens if they do work out?
A question to start with is” if I don’t do this what would happen? How would I feel?”
So tell me If not now….when?

Don’t ever diminish yourself to make others comfortable. I’m not talking about egos working or being arrogant, cocky or boastful, that’s not the same. Im talking about being yourself, doing your best and being happy.
Sometime when we do well personally or professionally we play it way down so we don’t make our friends or colleagues uncomfortable, angry or stressed. Especially at work where the other person becomes stressed or angry for whatever reason and we absorb that . We let it affect us . Don’t !!
Recently a client spoke to me about how she was worried about doing well at work and didn’t like it known so her colleague wouldn’t get mad or be in a bad mood.
What her colleague feels isn’t her responsibility. It’s an issue he must deal with. I don’t encourage bragging about it but I also believe she should let her light shine in its own way because she puts in the time energy and hard work. She owes it to herself to be proud of herself and her accomplishments.
This is particularly true for women. We tend to take up less space physically and we underplay our successes.
I invite you to let your light shine 🌟🌼
When have you dimmed your light for other people’s comfort?🕶

One of my things to do is to meditate.It’s helped me in so many ways and when I haven’t meditated for a few days I can feel the difference.
Many people think meditating is to simply empty your mind and think they just can’t do it. But there are many types of meditating.
Maybe a good one to start is Mindfulness Meditation where you’re fully present and aware of your thoughts, breathing deeply from your diaphragm and letting go . It may take a few times but keep at it and soon you’ll find you enjoy it.
Do you meditate? What’s your favourite type of meditation?

Reflecting on the past to learn , grow and take lessons from is a good thing.
But living in the past, and reliving hurts, pains and slights takes away from your presence and enjoyment of today to make happier memories.
Acknowledge whatever is bothering you, feel it and find the way to move forward.

Thoughts are really powerful. Much more than we realize. We have about 60,000 thoughts a day
We tend to default to negative thinking for self protection and preservation. So if we’re having that many thoughts a day and the majority are negative we can’t wonder why we are unhappy, anxious, stress and all the rest of it.
We can’t always have happy Pollyanna thoughts but a good place to start is to become aware of our thoughts.
Once we are aware of the thoughts we can choose to accept or challenge them.
How we react to our thoughts is then what makes an event good or bad.
I’ve found that it n situations where I have no control it works best to let go and use my energy to things within my control. This is something I’m still working on; it’s challenging but when I take a step back and let go, it usually works out well.

These are areas in our lives that can help us live a happier more fulfilling life but we often forget about them or take for granted.

Think of a time when you were face with a challenging situation. How did you respond? Looking back now, what would you have done differently?

Being able to react without thought can be helpful in certain situations. It’s what’s kept us around .
However it works against us in our relationships ( professional and personal). Reacting can cause us to say and do things we regret.
So for us to have better results and relation pause before reacting.
This is a challenge for me but I’m being more mindful. When I do , the results are great.
Do you react or respond? Let me know.

When our minds are agitated getting filled with thoughts, we can have a downward spiral, get confused and we can’t think clearly. However when we become still and give time for things to settle we are able to have calmer thoughts leading to better decisions. With stillness comes calmness and clarity.
As the Eagles say ‘ learn to be still’
