Let It Roll



Let go of control and roll with it! Something I have been working on in my own life as well with love, relationships and my career. When I am being open, honest, and vulnerable is when the real connections are made and life just flows!

Ideal Weight




Set yourself free! Your weight DOES NOT determine your worth in life! Take time to enjoy your food, family, friends, and know that there is more to life than striving for perfection!

People Pleasing





People pleasing is draining. There will ALWAYS be people who dislike something about you. Shower them with kindness and go on living your own life! #lifecoach

Doomsday



What you want people to say at your funeral is what you measure success by. Re-evaluate your life and make it a goal to make an impact on people! What do you value?  Your character and how you treat people?  Answer these questions and you will know what your legacy will be!

Sexy Conversation

Over the weekend I had a plethora of "real" in-person conversations! Living alone and not having a typical office job sometimes prevents me from having authentic, meaningful, human interactions! One of the best feelings is talking to my mom for hours about life while I'm back in Iowa, which I've done since my college years. In a world that is bustling with new technology and the latest gadgets it's easy to just shoot a text, email, or social media message instead of having an actual conversation with another human being. The current fast-paced world will swallow you up whole if you do not take the time to slow down, be mindful and intentional, and focus on the relationships with your "real life" family and friends and not your "followers."  The ones who are closest to you deserve the best version of you--present, focused, and your undivided attention, not the sloppy seconds. Cheers to future sexy, real conversations this month!

Moments



These are the moments I want to remember. I've been reflecting on my life a lot lately. Releasing and cleansing past hurts, negativity and striving each day to show up and be everything I was made to be.

What do you want more of in your life? Time with your family? To explore and do things you have never done? What if I told you you can? Instead of living on everyone else's terms start scheduling your calendar with things you enjoy first and then fill in the rest allowing self love time and relaxation as well!

Live


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!

Grace


"Forgive yourself for not being superwoman. You can always find ways to help, serve, or contribute. They may not be the most valiant or noteworthy, but they're still helpful.  Give yourself grace to do what you can, where you are, with what you have.  God created billions of other amazing people with gifts and callings; you don't have to carry the entire weight of the world on your own." 

-Emily Ley, Grace Not Perfection

Less is More

Copyright 2107: Jackie Mart


After reading an article and watching a Ted Talk video about minimalism I was inspired and decided to sift through my belongings.  I currently live in small 500 square foot studio apartment. Even though it may look bare to most I still somehow managed to fill the bags in the photo plus one from my storage unit!! Goodwill got some goodies!


My apartment consists mostly of items for my business and modeling promotions.  I was previously married and owned two houses full of "stuff."  Now I've scaled down dramatically and realize what few things I really need in life!  When we own less we have less to store and manage. (Which leaves more time, energy, and focus into what really matters!)   Years ago all of the storage units you see never existed. The concept of hoarding has reached new levels!  Read my blog post about clutter here: http://jackieamart.blogspot.com/2014/04/clutter-hoarder-or-ocd-neat-freak.html


I remember visiting my in-laws years ago and looking around at all their "stuff."  Lots of antiques and a whole upper loft in the garage of randomness piled high in boxes and plastic tubs. I had a bout of anxiety thinking about sorting through everything when they passed away. Not something anyone wants to deal with!  Here is my advice:


If you haven't used something within a year get rid of it. You DO NOT need it. Don't keep it, "just in case..."


All those clothes in your closet that do not fit your current body- donate them! Love your body for what it looks like right now!


Go through your space and if you see something that reminds you of an unpleasant memory from your past it's time to part with it.


When you look at an item make sure it gives you a sense of happiness and joy or it's time to let it go!


Our memories are located in our heads and our hearts, not in physical objects. Make room only for things, people, and experiences that add value to your life!

The Power of Forgiveness



"Forgiveness allows us to be fully present in this moment, right here, right now. Forgiveness enables us to wholeheartedly embrace what is and to be at peace with our past and fully engaged with the present. Making peace with our past is the most immediate way we can experience the abundance that is our birthright. Without forgiveness there is always something pulling us out of alignment with ourselves and with life; it is an energy drain in our system.
Until we have made perfect peace with all that has occurred in our life, and with all the people who have played a part in it, we deny ourselves the full richness of our true abundance. Forgiveness is a gift we give to ourselves. It frees up the energy we had invested in making another, or ourselves, wrong. Ultimately, forgiveness is letting go of the illusion that something actually ever went wrong." - TJ Woodward

Courage

"Being scared is not an excuse to not do something. I believe that having courage doesn't mean you aren't afraid. Courage means you move forward anyway." 

-Excerpt from an article in Minnesota Women's Press July 2016
