Wasting Energy

Lets talk about wasting energy. I don’t mean electricity or power, I mean your energy. I’m talking about holding on to things that don’t need to matter anymore and wasting energy that you could be using to enjoy life. Holding grudges, seeking revenge, hating people – these are all things that suck the energy right out of us. Why keep hating someone who made a mistake over a year ago? People make mistakes. People mess up, they get confused. But people also grow up, and change, and learn from their mistakes. The person you’re hating is probably not the same person today.

Let go of unnecessary anger. Stop talking bad about people you no longer really know. Give someone a second chance. Wouldn’t you want one if you made a mistake? The world would be such a better place if we could just forgive a little more. And you don’t necessarily need to keep that person in your life, and you don’t need to love them…but you certainly don’t need to waste your time and energy disliking them. So next time you find yourself judging someone on something they’ve done in the past, take a deep breath and let it go. Be the bigger person. It’s not worth your time.

Monday Motivation: Have Faith in Yourself

Happy Monday!

This week, I want to focus our dose of motivation around believing in yourself and not giving up. This is something that I struggle with on a daily basis. And I think that a lot of others do as well. I feel like if we all just gave ourselves more credit and had more faith in ourselves, the things that seem so difficult might not be as hard as we’re making them out to be. The truth is that we can handle whatever we set our minds and our hearts to. We may not be able to handle everything in the traditional or expected ways, but if we have confidence and use our creativity, we can do a whole lot more with what we have.

So this week as you’re going about your lives, don’t doubt yourself. Don’t give up. Don’t belittle your strength. Have faith in yourself.

Monday Motivation

Nobody likes Mondays, but that doesn't mean we still can’t make the best of them. So go out there, face your fears – face the week ahead with a smile and a positive attitude. 

You never know what you can do until you try.

Have a happy Monday everyone!
