10 Tips to Cultivate a Higher Self-Esteem

10 Tips to Cultivate a Higher  Self-Esteem Cultivating a high self-esteem is the key to improving all aspects of your life. Your life as it is now is an expression of your deep rooted self-beliefs, inner thoughts, emotions, and feelings. As is your body, it is constantly articulating whether or not your thoughts are for your highest good or not by how you feel. Take a moment to notice what is your body telling you right now; how do you feel? Do you feel pleased and full of life or do you feel exhausted, worn down, or lack hope? How you feel physically is directly influenced by your psychology. For instance, if you wake up feeling well and then you go to work and your co-workers tell you that you look ill and ask you if you’re okay, soon your mind would shift to questioning how you feel which would directly affect your body. Within a short amount of time, your body would begin to feel unwell. On the flip side, if you woke up feeling tired or unwell and your coworkers kee

I'm pleased to announce that my book is on sale now at Amazon.com. It has been quite the journey to complete my book, but I'm thankful beyond measure that it is now available for sale. A little history in the creation of my book. A couple of years ago I was divinely impressed to write my book. A year later I finished my rough draft and sent it off to my editor. Soon after I got a horrible concussion from a fall my stallion, Apollo, and I had while doing a photo shoot. That stopped me in my tracks, which took me nearly a year to recover from. Even though I did recover re-writing my manuscript was a daunting task and fatigued me terribly as I began writing again. But a few short months later I was able to write without the fatigue and mental exhaustion. It truly has been a miraculou

5 Keys to Live Joyfully

5 Keys to Live Joyfully In today’s world life is beyond busy. As a wife, mother and entrepreneur I know how crazy things can be. It is a balancing act to care for my family, home, horses, work and myself. If I’m not careful it’s easy to fall into feeling overwhelmed with all I have to do each day. Women often come to me asking for assistance. They tell me their struggles and issues, and it always touches my heart to hear their stories. As I listen I take in every word and energy of emotion expressed and unexpressed. When I ask them what they do for themselves each day, most of them say, “I don’t have time for me, I have too much to do.”

LIVE YOUR DREAMS

LIVE YOUR DREAMS Happy Monday!  I hope you're off to an excellent start to your day. If you want to change your body and life to that of your dreams then begin by changing your belief system.

FITNESS MOTIVATIONAL THOUGHT OF THE DAY

FITNESS MOTIVATIONAL THOUGHT OF THE DAY YOU CAN DO IT!!! Attaining the body of your dreams can, in fact, be a reality. Don't give up before you give yourself a real chance to get started. Losing weight and body transformation takes time, perseverance and fortitude.   Don’t focus on how much you want to “lose”, your subconscious doesn't like deprivation. Instead, focus on feeling “lighter” each new day. Let your body do what it does best and it will begin to burn fat rather than storing it. Take   it a day at a time, a pound a time.   Love the skin you're in. Your body is your greatest gift from above; treat it as though it were your best friend. Love it, care for it and think positively about how miraculous it is and all it does for you each new day.   Today's a new day, a new beginning of you! Relish in the joy of life by exercising and moving more today. Eat foods that God made just for us to live a vibrant, healthy life which are rich in nutrition.

HOW TO HAVE A POSITIVE MINDSET MORE OFTEN THAN NOT

How to Have a Positive Mindset  More Often Than Not “Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us, there's always something we could be grateful for.”  ~ Barry Neil Kaufman Being positive does more than just uplift your mood it is also highly beneficial for your emotional state of mind, physical health and well-being. Just as positive thinking has a direct impact on the body so does negative thinking, it weakens the immune system, causes emotional turmoil, ruins relationships and even causes weight gain. Eva Ritvo, MD, vice chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida and co-author of The Beauty Prescription, says that positive thinking improves your mental health and reduces stress.  "When you are optimistic, people are attracted to you. This leads to healthier relationships, more succe

EMBRACE LIFE TO CHANGE  YOUR LIFE  To Become Happier & Healthier When you want to change your life you must learn to embrace change with love and thankfulness for all the blessings in your life.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY ~ LET GO OF THE PAST

THOUGHT OF THE DAY...    LET GO OF THE PAST! Did you know that you are the only one standing in your way of achieving that which you desire? If you struggle with keeping your word to yourself or find that you self-sabotage your efforts then you need to let go of what's holding you back.  When we have negative, resentful feelings of ourselves or of others it is a power low energy of resistance to that which is wanted which will continue to attract more reasons to be worried or have feelings of resentment. Like always attracts like in all things, it's the Law of Attraction in action.  If you want more love in your life then you need to let go of the past, and forgive those that hurt you. By playing the negative memories over and over in your mind you become the victim and the perpetrator, you become a prisoner in your own mind.  Replaying hurtful movies continually only cements fear beliefs in your subconscious mind which causes you to mentally create bigger and s

How Exercise Increases Feel-Good Hormones

How Exercise Increases Feel-Good Hormones We all want to feel happier and more carefree. It’s too often that we allow stress to overrun our lives. Many of us struggle from day to day just to feel good let alone feel excited about life. Well, I’m happy to say that there’s a natural way to get a “natural high” otherwise known as “feel-good” hormones and that comes by exercising at least 3 to 6 days a week.  If you’re new to living a fit lifestyle, not to worry,  you don’t have to jump in head first into a fitness program, that will only overwhelm you, which may set you back even further once you become overly exhausted and fatigued from being unconditioned.
