I've always been the type of person that will try anything once! But you have to be if you are an entrepreneur! If something isn't working you need to re-evaluate and do something different! Not everyone understands me or the way I choose to live my life. You may be going through some of your own transitions, struggles, or challenges. Maybe your family thinks you are crazy for choosing your passion over a higher-paying job, your sister doesn't think you are raising your kids right, or your so called "friends" think your new business venture is unreasonable? Keep in mind all that really matters is that YOU are happy!
The world always has something to say about how we should live our lives. What we should eat, what to wear, where to attend college, what career to choose, how to wear our hair, what to purchase: large homes, expensive vehicles, latest technology, extravagant vacations, name brand clothes, and etc.
Try to shut out all the noise and think about what you want your life to look like. Do NOT let others persuade you into doing something you don't feel is right in your heart. Every day you can chose to be a different person than you were the day before. It's your call-do what's best for YOU!
*I will be going through my own transition starting in September. City life and country living mix here I come!

If I've learned anything these past two weeks it's that no matter what you do you cannot please everyone. My Dad and I have been butting heads and it seems as though whatever I do in life it has never been the right path he thinks I should be on. I am constantly compared to my younger sister and it's painful. I was a straight-A student, had many friends, and excelled in everything I did. Shy girl turned successful college student with a kind heart! The paths I've chosen after college haven't been the easiest but they have been the most rewarding and have shaped me into the woman I am today.
I have felt fear and had my ego screaming in my ear but continue on. Life isn't about pleasing those around you. It's about taking challenging steps each day, learning, growing, and doing what God has put on your heart. I've been told many times (by my Dad and others) to go, "get a real job." I've lived that life in the past. Answering to someone else, living on their terms, punching in and out. The conventional way has never been my forte. One thing I do know is if you live your life trying to make others happy you will be miserable. You are capable of making your own decisions and living a different life from the one others want you to lead! Be brave and keep going!!

Ran across this quote and wanted to share. I re-read it over and over and it's true! We always answer everything with, "I've been really 'busy'." But what are you "busy" doing? Let's change the way we think and act. Why not do things that make us happy?!?! I would love to hear your thoughts on this! Please leave a comment below.

Giving and receiving is an energy exchange. This applies to compliments as well. Saying thank you after someone says something nice about you is you receiving and accepting their kind words. Money is also an energy exchange. Don't short yourself by giving out everything for free.
Do not charge less than what you are worth in business. Doing things for free blocks the natural movement of energy and may prevent you from accepting opportunities where you are compensated for your value. People are more apt to associate higher value with products or services they purchase. This also applies to relationships, friendships, and marriages.
When you love yourself and know your worth you will not accept anything less! Let the abundance flow!

What our response should be when we are asked this question! Too often we forget that our life is now, not 10 years from now, not after we retire, or only live our life after 5:00 PM. Stir up some passion in your life so when you go to bed at night and review your day you know you spent every last second living and doing what you enjoy!

If you find yourself feeling anxious, jumpy, and panicky
mid-afternoon, or lethargic, uncomfortable and sluggish, it could be your lunch
stressing you out, rather than your job!
*Don't rush
your lunch. The faster you eat, the more likely you are to swallow air, which
can cause wind, bloating and abdominal pain. People often swallow too much air
as a reaction to stress. Try to sit quietly during and after lunch (preferably away from your desk!) A huge
amount of blood - 40 percent of your blood supply - passes through the
digestive system after a meal, allowing the nourishment to be absorbed and
distributed throughout the body. You shouldn't even shop, let alone exercise,
after eating because activity will divert most of the blood from the digestive
system to help muscles perform.

Commonly Asked Question: I have low energy and feel fatigued all the time, what would help?
B-Vitamins- These are the vitamins that get depleted first when stressed.
B-Vitamin rich foods: spinach, parsley, broccoli, beets, turnips, mustard greens, asparagus, romaine lettuce, lentils, bell peppers, turnip greens, almonds, brussel sprouts, oranges, eggs, fish, sunflower seeds, beans.
Vitamin D3- have you ever gotten yours checked? Simple blood test you can ask for at the doctor's office. Most people are on the low end especially if they do not supplement! (I offer Vitamin D testing as a service. Please contact me for more information)
Juice-Cleanses body and gives your digestive system a break! Nutrients get absorbed right away giving you a burst of energy.
Greens Powder-helps alkalize the body. Usually contains wheat grass, alfalfa, spirulina, chlorella, barley grass, spinach, broccoli.
Exercise-Get your blood and body moving! Interval Training is one of the best types of workouts to do. Other names for interval training: Tabata, BURST, HIIT, Crossfit, Kosama etc.
Green/Herbal Teas-Green tea contains natural caffeine and contains the amino acid, L-theanine, which increases alertness. With L-theanine working to increase mental energy and caffeine also working to increase energy, the result is a steady, clear state of increased energy without the jittery side-effects.
English Breakfast Teas-use as an alternative to coffee in the mornings!
Eat every 3-4 hours stabilizes blood sugar levels. Your energy will be even kill all day long if you eat protein, a veggie, and a healthy fat every time you eat! Ditch the sugars!
Drink more water-you are probably dehydrated if you are not drinking half your bodyweight in ounces of water each day!
Take a technology break-computers, cell phones, and electronic devices zap our energy! Try going on a camping trip or turning off your phone and computer at night. Read a book! (preferably a real physical book and not one on a Kindle or Nook)
Take a walk- great for getting fresh air and taking a mental break! Nature is very therapeutic and grounding!
