I quit working out and why It was the BEST decision ever. 


#saywhattttt


And a couple other shifts I made to get to a more peaceful space.


  1.  YES. I stopped working out and it was one of the BEST decisions.  WAIT.  Hear me out.  I still believe in fitness 100%.  HOWEVER, I personally was a fitness FANATIC (obsessive)  for so many years all for the wrong reason.  The last two years I gave myself a break.  A rest.  I actually gave myself permission to take a fitness hiatus.  It’s important to be in an emotional and spiritually accepting headspace for that (at least for me).  It has allowed me to “be still” more and to listen to my heart.  I’m not saying I will never get back in to it but definitely not in the same form as before.  I love Walks and Hikes and I do love activity like kickboxing and sometimes weight lifting - When I’m ready I will know.  It needs to be Fun and enjoyable for me at this stage of the game!

2.  I stopped trying to please EVER.Y.ONE:
 
#retiredpeoplepleaser  Anyone else?  Even as a kid I remember giving away my things to “friends” to keep people happy.  For years I didn’t even know that  being a “people pleaser” was a thing!  Being True to who I really am is critical to MY happiness!  Doing things that inspire ME, Things that I love.  Things that make ME happy.  I think it needs to be taught in schools! 
3.  Using Natural products.  
Most people don’t know that there are actually harmful ingredients in cleaning and personal care products (most but not all) that come from the store.  My first suggestion is as most would say and that is to read labels.  My second suggestion is to find someone that has a lot of expertise / knowledge in this area and that will tell you honestly (and not just want to sell you something).   Have you ever asked someone at a store a question about something on a label?  For the most part they don’t know.  They are hired to stock shelves and guide a customer to the items they might need.  They are not usually educated in the field of questionable ingredients (unless they have taken it upon themselves to do so)  and where these products come from.  Not anyones fault that’s just how people hire team members.  (More on this in a separate blog post!).

4.  CREATIVE projects! 
I LOVE to do home renovations.  I love it so so so much!  It’s so fun to me to search for inspiration, get a vision for the room (or in this case house HAHA) and GO TO TOWN.  Literally and figuratively!  I also love me a fun Home decor and furniture shopping trip!  Your Home is your Sacred Space and should be expressive of who you are.  I am in a lot of Home Decor groups and I see a LOT of people post things asking “which do you like the best” or “what do you think of this”…. I love to comment and encourage those beautiful people to go with what FEELS right to them!  If they end up not liking it, it can be changed or upgraded… ALWAYS be True to who you are!  Even in your Home Decor! 



I hope these gave you some inspiration on some ways that you can also get to such a beautiful and peaceful place!!   I have a small community on FB all about encouraging others to Use their Voice and to Be True to who they are… If you’d be interested click this link and we can get you in!! 



A Good Book is an Event in My Life!

A Good Book is an Event in My Life!

“A Good Book is an Event in My Life..” 


Oh my gosh do I LOVE books!!!


I always have every since I was a little girl.  I did a post the other day reminiscing on how I used to look forward to the Scholastic Book orders and one of my favorite book series was Sweet Valley High.  I also really like the Laura Ingalls Wilder series, Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys mysteries were fun! 


We used to go downtown Holland a couple times a month… My mom was a book lover too!  I can still smell the place!  I will admit that I have books in my book case that I have not read yet but I treasure them just the same!  


My taste in books has changed though, I graduated from the Sweet Valley High Series, took a few years off from reading when the kids were little and then when I get started on this journey I was opened up to a whole new genre of book!  


Personal Development!!!  


Oh my GOSH.  Over the last 10 years I’ve read so many titles of personal development I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you!! 


Keep in mind that most of these are not cover to cover reads but more study and research kind.  Some of them have exercises to work through and some of them just need to be taken in bits and pieces.  Regardless they are all great titles!


There is a lot of Mindset work titles, Finance titles, a wellness title in the list - I will share more as I compile them!


DISCLAIMER:  These links are using my Amazon affiliate link generator.  Just so you are aware!! 


 

Conscious Language  

https://amzn.to/3iNzRBq 

This book has been so eye opening for me!  I have had mine for over a year a a half and I'm still learning a lot about Conscious Language and how important our Speech and Internal Dialogue really IS! Scripture says "Life and Death is in the power of the tongue.." If you are interested in learning more about Specificity in your words and language and how to upgrade those... this is a great resource!!


The Big Leap

https://amzn.to/3h5FJoY

This is one I'm reading right now and it's also amazing!  The main focus of this one is getting you ready for your BIG LEAP and how to conquer your Upper Limit Problem.  Highly recommended!!

Poverty, Riches and Wealth  by Kris Volloton 
GREAT book about Finances and Wealth with a Biblical focus

Short link:   https://amzn.to/3aBEr2H

 

https://amzn.to/2E8HT8Z

This book I was introduced to by Monique McLean a few years ago and have read it a few times through.  It's really really REALLY good at helping us break through the barriers of a poverty mindset.  There may be a lot of programming and old conditioned limiting beliefs that you need to be aware of especially if its the thing that is holding you back! 

A few others that I have gained knowledge from :
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.  (LOVE this one)
Dare to Lead by Brene Brown
The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy 

I choose to do one of these lists every few weeks or once a month when I have new amazing titles to share with y'all!! 

The highlighted words have the links embedded and should work but since I'm still learning I thought I better give you the link that you can copy and paste too! 

ENJOY! 

ps: oh by the way!! I have a new group for women 40-50 somethings that have been working their whole lives to please everyone and now... NOW it's time for them!  Faithful, Fierce and Free to BE love to have you join me!  It's BRAND brand new!!
