I've been using the Tide app during the day. I set my focus time for 20 minutes then I take a break. At least one of those breaks in the hour is using this 4 square breathing. It's a good reset for the hour. Each moment adds up and helps the whole day. I can tell when I havent had enough breathing breaks. Today I didnt have enough. Tomorrow I will have more. Progress not perfection.

For Christmas I got a hybrid fitness watch. (thank you husband)! One of my favorite features is the counted breathing focus. Love my

Melt Stress with Goal Setting - FAMILIAR EMBRACE| COACHING | MINDFULNESS | SELF-CARE

Stressed? met too. THis is the topic this week. https://www.familiarembrace.com/melt-stress-with-goal-setting/

Melt Stress with Goal Setting - FAMILIAR EMBRACE| COACHING | MINDFULNESS | SELF-CARE I’m a stress freak. Actually, the technical term for it is- Worry Wart. That is what my Irish Grandma Iris always used to call me- a WW. This is also the reason why I am so good at talking to others about stress- I am an expert in stressing out. Not sure how good that …

I've been working really hard this last week to find my happy place. I have filled it with cozy blankets, pillows, smelly candles, warm drinks, music, and twinkling lights. It sure has made a difference in the dark and cold winter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you do to stay warm and happy so you don't get the winter blues?

Say something you are thankful for...true deep soul gripping gratitude or it may just be something as simple as being thankful to be ALIVE.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does it bring you a new perspective?

Have you ever made a vision board before?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A vision board helps you to see your purpose and remind you of what is important to you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Visualization-where do you want to be
2. Decide your topic areas-life, family, career, love?
3. Be specific or broad-and creative!
4. Pick a single word to focus it around- Peace, Joy, Strong
5. Get creative!- be a crafty bitch!

I am giving to...my kids, my husband, my work, and my house. But am I giving to myself today?

07/02/2019

I am thankful for flexibility. This week I needed time for myself. A personal day to reflect and pause. Time to process some difficult emotions. Without that day I may have cracked under the pressure this week. It showed me that practicing gratitude 3 to 1 helps me to see the light in life even when the sky is gray and gloomy.

Raise your hand if you are guilty of constantly being in your head? It's not a bad thing to be intellectual, but today I challenge you to practice this activity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think back to a situation this week, today, or a particular moment you are challenged with...what did you do or think about the situation?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now go back to that moment with your heart's "eyes" ...how is it different?

This weeks mantra. Hitting home for me today. When you are feeling stuck... even if you don't feel this say it to yourself. See how your mind shifts. When your mind shifts so do your thoughts, choices, and then your life will shift from being stuck to improving.

I am improving.
I am improving.
I am improving.

This is a little loaded..it takes that vision from last week and takes it a step further. The vision you created for yourself (go back here to find it if you haven’t yet) We start with the vision because it helps us to connect to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations about how we “see ourselves”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The purpose is what drives us, our goals, and daily actions. If we create goals without our purpose in mind-we won’t connect to it and then might not be as successful. I have my own personal example for you…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I worked on my purpose with a coach last year. What I found was that my purpose is connected to my faith, family and inner peace & happiness. Any goals I want to create should be connected to my purpose. I believe it is my purpose on earth to take part in the creation of it, such as raising my children, being a wife, being the best I can be (healthy mind/body), and serving others. I also believe that everyone deserves peace and happiness, the kind that lives inside of you and not as a result of external things like a house, car or money. These beliefs come from my faith...so they are all connected.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did a LOT of personal work over the last 4 years. Losing weight, gaining physical strength, feeling good about myself, loving myself, and creating positive relationships in my life and my kids lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So are you ready for finding your purpose?

Research shows that gratitude makes you a happier person. Being a happier and positive person helps you to think better, make better choices, and make long-lasting POSTIVE changes in your life.

Gratitude works!

I have a mindful journal you can download for free if you want to start on your positive journey! Link in the bio

raise your hand if you are thinking about tomorrow!?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
what can you do today to be more present?
