Gratitude

Friday, January 15th, 2016

I believe that gratitude is an important part of life. Do you take time to think about what you're grateful for? Do you have a gratitude journal? Does it help you feel more grateful? I feel grateful most of the time, but have not started a gratitude journal as of yet. It's on my list to do this year and hopefully I'll get it started this month.

However, I woke up this morning feeling filled with gratitude for everything in my life and felt the need to share.

I am thankful for my health, my husband's health, our families health, our friend's health.

I am thankful for the close relationship that my husband and I share. The friendship, the love, the commitment we have to each other, the life we have together.

I am thankful for the close relationships I have with my kids. I share a bond with them that grows stronger every year. We've survived a lot together, and ended up on top.

I am thankful for my family. My parents, my siblings, my nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, and my husband's family. We are blessed to have so many people out there that we are proud to call family.

I am thankful for my old friends with whom I share many memories and who have always been there for me and always will be. I'm thankful for my new friends who have become such an important part of my everyday life.

I am thankful to start this new year in a job with people that make me happy to go to work every day, that appreciate me and what I do for our company. I'm thankful that I was sent out to network two years ago and that through that, I've grown and changed so much as a person. I've met so many new people, made many new friends, have become a person who can stand in front of a room of people, speak to them without fear, and be myself. I've gained wisdom, confidence, and joie de vivre: the carefree enjoyment of life.  

Please feel free to reply and tell me what your grateful for. Do you have a gratitude journal? Does it help you feel more grateful? Or remember to look for the good in everything? MW

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. MW Copyright 2017

Re-evaluating Social Media in my life

What is the purpose of social media in your life? This is the question I've been pondering for a while now. What do each of these outlets bring to me, give to me, or help me with? Facebook Twitter Instagram Snap Chat Pinterest  LinkedIn Alignable  So many people say they're using social media for their business, while others say you have to be using social media for your business. I believe that's true in some businesses - especially if you're selling a product like t shirts, jewelry, weight loss plans, or other tangible items. But, I'm not sure which really help in the service and intangible industries. With that said, I'm an insurance agent. I sell a piece of paper that gives you piece of mind and aggravation because you are obligated to buy it. Is anyone really interested in reading blogs or articles about insurance? Even insurance humor is mainly funny to insurance people. So where does that leave me with my posts? I have used it in a mostly pers...

There are only 24 hours in a day!

I've learned that I can only do so much. My business is booming, my marriage is flourishing, my personal health and fitness goals are in tip-top shape, but there is so much more going on in life. Spending time with family, spending time with friends, working on projects inside and outside of the house. Life gets completely crazy at times and it feels like the list of things to do, places to be, people to see never ends. The result: some things get put on the back burner. Like blogging. It's something I do to keep track of what I'm doing, where I am on my goals, and hopefully to motivate a few people at the same time. Here's where I'm at; Business: I am still out there networking, I have made so many new friends and am building great relationships.  I am still working on single-tasking. I KNOW that it's the key to getting things done for me. However, I still have my days where I am so busy that I lapse back into my habit of multi-tasking. I do realiz...
