Too Busy?



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.

Discounts

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!

Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 10/30/16



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.

Monday Motivation




New opportunities, a fresh new day to try something you have never attempted before! Wake up each day and ask God what he has in store for you. It's not about what you want, it's about what his plan is for you. He uses your hands to do HIS work. Listen closely for your daily assignment... Have a fabulous day!! :-)

Staying Healthy While Traveling


I've been traveling a lot back and forth to Minneapolis for work so I thought I would give you a few tips and suggestions on how I manage to keep up with my healthy lifestyle while I'm on the go! 

 Gyms: locate one near where you are staying. Some hotels even offer free day passes at local gyms! Ask at the front desk. I have an Anytime Fitness gym membership so I can workout at any gym across the US. Most gyms, yoga, pilates, spin, boxing, and martial arts studios also offer a free week to new potential members or online discount coupons so take advantage of those if you can! Your hotel may even have a small fitness center. 

Lace up your tennies and walk around the airport terminal while waiting for flights. Extra points if you speed walk up and down the escalators instead of standing on them! 

 Find a walking/jogging trail or park. I always keep my rollerblades or snowshoes in my trunk in case I want to venture out! 

 Do BURST exercise training in your hotel room (Interval training). No equipment needed! (Contact me for workout plans)  


Hotels: Take the stairs! Carry your luggage up for a great workout. I always ask for a room on the top floor for this reason. 


Stop at a grocery store. Pack a cooler and stock up on: 

 Filtered Water
Coconut Water
Milk Alternatives-unsweetened almond, flax, hemp, or coconut milks
Cold-Pressed Juices
Herbal Teas (hotels usually have a coffee maker to heat up water) 
Raw Nuts
Raw Seeds
Organic String cheese
Fruit
Raw Veggies
Gluten Free Crackers
Larabars or any other raw food bars
Nut butters
Hummus
Salsa
Corn Tortilla or Bean Chips
Popcorn
Salad Greens and Sprouts
Kale Chips
Greek Yogurt
Hard Boiled Eggs
Beans and Lentils
Tuna
Hotel breakfast: opt for the protein choices: eggs, meat and stay away from the high sugar selections: juice, waffles, pancakes, muffins, donuts, rolls, toast, sugared cereals, sweetened yogurt,  yes, even oatmeal! Fruit is also a better choice. The lowest sugar fruits are berries and Granny Smith (green) apples. Or bring some of your own protein powder, greens powder and a shaker cup for a quick, easy breakfast! 

 Seek out restaurants nearby that serve local, organic, fresh, clean food! 

 And lastly, turn your hotel stay into a spa retreat by soaking in the bathtub with a deep pore cleansing facial mask or peel and a good book! Unwind and de-stress. I do this often when I travel alone!

Staying in the Present Moment

Often, one of our biggest questions is, "What's going to happen?" We may ask this about our relationships, job, or life.  It's so easy to get tangled in the worrisome thoughts! 

Worrying about what is going to happen blocks us from functioning effectively in the here and now- the present moment. It blocks us from learning the lessons today and has a negative effect on our future. When we worry we draw the negative thoughts into our lives. If you constantly are worried about money, your spouse cheating on you, your car not starting and so forth those things will eventually happen because of the energy you are drawing to it! 



Things will work out for the best if we let them. Being present when talking to family, friends, clients, coworkers will fend off the worrying. Choose to be happy and TRUST that things will work out. Have a tough decision you need to make? Sleep on it, meditate, pray, and believe you will make the right choice! Sometimes we take life too seriously! Smile, have fun, breathe, and LIVE! :-)

Fearless Friday

The Journey- No matter where you are in your life right now remember to NEVER give up!! We are all meant to succeed in our own way. Actually LIVING is tough. We are all continually afraid to venture out and take risks. But why? There is always a solution to everything! If things do not work out get up and try again! I have this photo as the desktop on my laptop and read it every day. I am in charge of my life and the only way to make my dreams come true is to work hard EVERY day!! Cheers to a fearless Friday!!

Comparison Kills Contentment

About a month or so the pastor at my church talked about comparison.  This has become easier since we have access to Facebook profiles, reality TV shows, and other forms of media at our fingertips. We feel content until we see our neighbor down the street just re-sided their house, the new SUV parked in the driveway, your coworker got a promotion, your friend bought a new Iphone,  or that a girl we hated in high school got married before we did.. multiple examples.  We always seem to want bigger and better!

The last few years of my life I have gone from having a house, a dog, a yard, a husband to living in a small studio apartment alone. I got rid of a lot of my possessions and have realized I do not need much to be happy. Those "things" just add more stress to my life.  I recently quit my full time job to pursue my passion of starting my own wellness business. Granted I know it will be a challenge but I'm ready for it! I would much rather be doing what I love every day and just get by financially than continue to show up to a "job" that is not fulfilling my God-given purpose. My car is old but it gets me from point A to point B. I don't wear designer clothes but sure can pull myself together with what I do have in my closet. I have met some wonderful positive people lately that are my cheerleaders and am realizing who steals my energy and who I want and do not want in my life. Practicing gratitude daily keeps me content!

What about you? Are you content with yourself, your career, and your life? If not, think about ways you could change it. Take the steps TODAY and you will eventually get there! Be sure to live in the moment and don't take any second, minute, hour, day, week, month, or year for granted! Our life here on Earth is limited and remember we attract everything to us both good and bad! And why compare? We are all unique and genuinely made, perfect in the Creator's eyes!

Purpose in Life- Have You Found Your Passion?

What gets you out of bed in the morning? Do you absolutely love what you do every day or are you just "going through the motions?" It's no wonder why so many people are depressed these days. Look at the unemployment, current state of the economy, job satisfaction, and divorce rate. I never realized how much happier I could be until I finally found a job that I love and where I will be able to transition into the position I have dreamed of! I am surrounded by positive, healthy, energizing people and am very grateful!! It's amazing what life can be like when you just "feel" like you are in the right place and have truly found your purpose in the world. I believe I was put here to instill love into peoples' hearts and help them lead long, happy, healthy lives!

I have found that one of the best ways to find a job is to look for a place you think you would like working and email them your resume and what you are looking for. Even if they are not currently hiring doesn't mean they will not need someone in the future or know of another employer in their network that is. This will save you endless hours of job searching on career websites and etc.

I like what Brian Tracy has to say about finding the right job for YOU so I thought I would share it! Read below:


Many people are working at jobs that they are not suited for or are not suitable for them. They would rather be doing something else, somewhere else, using different skills and abilities. The majority of working people, by their own admission, do not feel fully challenged by their current jobs. Getting into or staying at a job for which you are not ideally suited is one of the greatest wastes of time in life. It can rob you of some of your most productive years.

Here is a question for you: If you receive $1 million in cash, tax free, would you continue to work at your current job?


Do the Work you Love

Here is another question: Do you currently love what you do? Only a small percentage of people love what they do, and these people are always the happiest, the most satisfied, and usually, the highest paid in every field.

You can tell if you are spending your time and your life at the right job by examining your attitude toward your job and your future. Do you like what you are doing enough to want to be the very best at it? If the job is right for you, not only do you want to get better and better at that job, but you very much admire those people who are at the top of your field. If you find that you have no desire to excel in your field, this is a good sign that it’s probably not the right job for you.

Would you like to continue doing your job for the next twenty years? Do you find your job challenging and fulfilling? Can you hardly wait to get to work on Monday morning, and do you hate to leave on Friday evening? All successful people can answer “yes” to these questions. Unsuccessful people invariably answer “no”.

There Are No Limits

There are more than 100,000 different jobs available in our economy today. There are an endless number of jobs that you could do successfully, and make a good living doing them. You never have to feel stuck in a particular position, company, or industry. There is never a job shortage for good people.

One of your primary responsibilities to yourself is to select the kind of work that you enjoy and are best suited to do. It is to find a job where you can use your natural talents and abilities at a high level. Your duty to yourself is to work at something that gives you joy and satisfaction. You must find a job that brings out the very best in you, and that inspires you to want to become excellent at what you’re doing.

The Past Is a “Sunk Cost”

In accounting, a sunk cost is an amount of money that has been spent in the past and has no further value. It may be a piece of equipment that is broken and irreparable, obsolete, or completely useless. It could be advertising dollars just spent last year. The money spent on these items is gone forever. It can never be retrieved.

One of the first rules with regard to a sunk cost is that you never spend additional money to retrieve or extract some value out of it. You write it off as a loss and focus on the future. You get on with the rest of your business life.

In your career, you have sunk costs as well. These are jobs that may have taken weeks, months, or even years to learn, from which you gained considerable experience, but which are no longer of value in today’s market. You may have a sunk cost in college education or in courses of instruction and training that you have taken to develop knowledge and skills that are no longer of any use. Much what you have done in the past in your career is a sunk cost of some kind. It has no current or future value.

Be Prepared to Cut Your Losses

One of the reasons for massive time wastage, and failure in life, is the inability or unwillingness to cut your losses. Instead, you should continually remind yourself: It doesn’t matter where you’re coming from; all that really matters is where you’re going.

A major time waster is an investment in your ego. You make a decision, or a commitment of time, money, or emotion, that is not successful. Then, because of your ego, you are unwilling to admit that you made a mistake, that you were wrong, and that your decision has turned out to be in error. You then invest an enormous amount of time, emotion, and often money to cover up the fact that you made a mistake. You justify and rationalize, refuse to face the facts, and you often make yourself physically ill.

Learn to take control of your ego, rather than letting your ego take control of you. Accept that you are not perfect. The unwillingness to admit error keeps people locked in unhappy and unsatisfying situations year after year.

Once you have admitted a mistake, you no longer need to explain or justify yourself. You can then get on with the rest of your life. You can make new decisions and choose new directions. You can focus your special talents and abilities on doing things that can have a great future for you.
