You deserve to have a life with plenty of joy in it

Reclaim your joy after pain. After grief, burnout, trauma, etc. your joy can be sniffed out by all the other overwhelming feelings of these difficult times. And while letting your feelings be what they are is a necessary step, staying there is not helpful. Find joy again.

@therohitkadev Thank you! 🙏

When no one else believes in you is when you need to believe in yourself the most! Doubt from others doesn’t mean you can’t achieve your dream. People doubt things all the time. “Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” ~Suzy Kassem Don’t let doubt kill yours.❤️

Mediocre habits create a mediocre life. If you want to live an amazing life, then get better habits. I know this sounds obvious, but ~95% of people aren't doing anything about it, so... What's it gonna take for you to finally change?

@ramit I'd rather spend my money on my health and happiness than on doing things I don't like with people I don't like and/or trying to impress society. I spend less on alcohol, events, and electronics and more on nutritious food, health optimizers, and yoga/strength training. 💪

In America, these are socially acceptable things to spend money on (in this order): - Buying a house, maintaining a house, renovating a house - Pets - Kids' activities, school, college - Car - Sporting events Now let's look at what's "sometimes" acceptable in America...

@DrWeil Yes, please! ☀️ I spent most of yesterday in the sun at a lovely coffee shop on the river in Asheville AND went device free. I woke up today feeling so refreshed and recharged!

Feeling down? Get outside and soak up the sunshine! We are almost to summer and studies show that summertime has a positive impact on mood. Soak it up, friends! drweil.com/blog/bulletins…

@ramit Agreed! Makes me think of this quote by Jim Rohn: “You can’t hire someone else to do your push-ups for you.”

Was talking to my trainer today about what's harder: Changing your fitness (food & training) or changing your finances I think changing fitness is at least 5x harder Money can be partially automated. But not fitness/food. And temptations are everywhere What do you think

Not only do most people not know where they're going in life... ...they're unwilling to do the work to figure it out. Don't be like most people. “If you have no destination, you’ll never get there” ~Harvey MacKay Use the journal prompts in my last post for efficient clarity.

Journal prompts for a next level life: 1) What are 3 things I’m grateful for today? 2) If money were no object, how would I spend my day? 3) What are 3 actions I can take this week to take me closer to what I wrote down in question 2?

Initially: Packed my laptop and iPad for a day trip to Asheville to work on my blog and enjoy some of my fave spots. But then: Decided to just enjoy the beautiful spring day instead sans devices. Never took either out. Wrote, ideated, and dreamed in my journal. Was AMAZING!

@Shoshi And you as well! 😊

Good morning lovers! May you have a delicious Sunday.

@PatFlynn What a fun way to celebrate! Enjoy! 🥳

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mommas out there! We’re out here at Universal Studios today to celebrate!

@KevinSzabo14 Totally agree! Even in my own life… The last few years of my life are far more meaningful than the many I lost in an auto-pilot + burnout haze. 😵‍💫 So glad to have found a way to break free from that! 💪

Thoughts?

@KevinSzabo14 Double win! 🙌 That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing. Meditation and prayer really have so many benefits!

@thechiclife It's interesting Because once I learned people gain weight for stress it clicked When I started praying (my form of meditation) I saw weight loss and a clearer conscious

Good reminder to meditate today 🙏

@AllyBFraz Omg yummmm! 😍😍😍

@AllyBFraz Yummm! Yes please! 😍

We all have challenges, setbacks, and blocks. Option 1: point to them as the reason you’re stuck Option 2: acknowledge them and rise above them anyway💪 One will keep you settling for a mediocre life. One will help you achieve your dreams. I know what I’m choosing. Do you?

@markmanson Agreed! Wish I would have started in my 20s! 😅 But hey, at least we figured it out now and not in our 60s or beyond. 🤗

When I was 20, I promised myself I’d never be a boring old person who never drank, went to bed at 9PM, and stayed home on weekends. Now, at 40, I wonder why I waited so long to start.

I’m the most boring I’ve ever been. My weekends look like: - sleeping in - working on my blog at the coffee shop - cooking yummy food - going to yoga - making art - staying in at night I’m also the happiest I’ve ever been. 🤗
