“4 Hugs a Day, that’s the minimum. 4 Hugs a Day, not the maximum!”
You need 4 hugs a day just to survive, but don’t stop there! The more the better! Human touch is essential to our well being, so start hugging more! Once you start doing this more, you will notice how a simple hug can energize you and make you feel better. And the longer the hug, the better. Improve your day with a hug (or 4!). Namaste!
Ask, and you shall receive.
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.
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!
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!
You’ve got to have a dream, and you’ve got to dream BIG!
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”
Dr. Seuss
Spend time with your family and friends today. Organize a family dinner where everyone brings 1 thing. This will save everyone time and will allow each family member to contribute by doing something they are good at. “Many hands make light work”. And many hearts sharing food and conversation can increase the happiness in everyone’s lives. Namaste!
Ahhhh, Tuesday. Another one of my favorite days. On the weekend, I was reminded by my mother, Janet Legere, to have an “attitude of gratitude”. There is always something we can be thankful for! Tomorrow morning when you wake up, think of at least 1 thing you are grateful or thankful for. It can be anything! “I am thankful that I have clean underwear to put on today”, “I am thankful to have running, hot water!”, “I am thankful that I woke up this morning!”, “I am grateful for my new shoes!”. I know you can come up with 1 thing (even if you wake up in a funk!), but I would challenge you to come up with 5 things! Being thankful for things in your life will put a smile on your face and a warmness in your heart. And the Universe will respond positively, so be ready! Have an abundant day!
It’s Sunday, so take at least 15 minutes to yourself for Yoga, reading a book, or just breathing in the last of the summer air!
