“Everyone needs a certain amount of money. Beyond that, we pursue money because we know how to obtain it. We don’t necessarily know how to obtain happiness.”
Gregg Easterbrook
Namaste.

Sing your way through life.
“Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.”
Lao Tzu
There is a song for every moment in your life. And sometimes, it just feels good to sing your song.
When I need to rock it out… Metallica One.
When I need a pick me up, or am singing Karaoke… I’m Yours, Jason Mraz.
When I’m hauling booze… any top 20 with big base, played loud.
When I just need to feel more emotion… Adele, Someone Like You.
Figure out what songs really motivate you and make you feel good. Play more of those. And sing along. The Universe will hear you. Namaste.
Do what you need to do.
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”
Thomas A. Edison
Sometimes you have to do things that you do not love to get to where you want to be. Change your thinking about what you do, and you will start enjoying the process.
And remember, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Effort = Results. Namaste.
Guilt is a gonner.
Do not allow yourself to feel guilt. You are an amazing person, and no matter what decisions you have made, you need to forgive yourself and move on. Guilt is a negative emotion that will make it easier for you to repeat unwanted behaviors. Start telling yourself that you are amazing, and you will soon start believing it.
No more Problems.
Change how you view all future “Problems”. Look at them as “Opportunities” and you will be able to make things better, easier, funner, more efficient, safer, and smarter. It is all in the perspective.
Not Just Another Manic Monday
Good Morning! Want to start your Monday off smoothly, instead of Manically? You have to start planning for Monday on Sunday! On Sunday, write a list of things you will want / need to get done on Monday. Then, do as much prep work for Monday on Sunday. Prepare lunches, pick out clothes, get coffee / tea ready to go, tidy up, put things in the car you will need for Monday. You will sleep so much better on Sunday night! Then on Monday morning, make sure you get up early enough to NOT FEEL RUSHED. Mondays just got a whole lot better. Namaste!
Spiritual Sunday
Take 5 minutes today to meditate. Sit on the floor in a cross legged position. Sit up tall, and place your hands face up on your lap. Take 5 deep, cleansing breaths, and then close your eyes. Now try to quiet your mind and focus on the space in between your thoughts. Focus on your breathing, and the quietness inside your mind. When thoughts enter into your head, do not judge them, just let them go, and refocus on your breathing. Before you open your eyes, say something in your head that you are thankful for. Enjoy the amazing feeling of peace and calm that this 5 minutes can bring. Namaste!
Monday doesn’t have to suck!
If the thought of waking up to your current job on Monday morning gives you an anxious feeling in your stomach, you need to do something about it! Perhaps you need to look for another job… one that you are excited to wake up to every day! Perhaps the very thought of having ANY job starts your palms sweating! Remember that thoughts are things. Mondays can be amazing if you are doing what you love, or if you change your mindset and start loving what you already do! You have all the power you need in your own head to make Mondays your favorite day. Change is good, so go ahead and have a Happy Monday, starting today!
