You are your own worse enemy!

Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think. ~Dale Carnegie

This quote sums it up quite nicely. I hear so many excuses, time, money, family conflicts, work you name it. But what we really need to do is change our thinking. Making time for yourself just as important as taking your kids to soccer and meeting deadlines at work. So instead of saying well, I’m a mom and I can’t do it, or to be the best employee and get ahead, I have to stay late. It’s time to think about yourself and how you can help yourself. If you aren’t taking care of yourself, how can you take care of anyone else.

We are our own worse enemies, we are great a negative self-talk. So, when you feel yourself saying something negative, turn it around! Think about what are you good at, if your not good how can you make it better! Remember baby steps, we all fall down, but its the strong women who dusts herself off and starts again’

Talk to me how are you going to change your thinking’

Busy Day

This weekend is action packed!!!

It’s recycling day here in Cambridge, now what does that mean’ It’s Cambridge’s way of keeping old paint, fluorescent light bulbs, etc from going in with the rest of your trash! As you can imagine my husband has been all hopped up for weeks!! He even scheduled it in his calendar. So, we are going to gather up all our hazardous stuff and head to the armory.

Next I’m heading to the gym to get in my 60 min of cardio and 30 min of routine practice. Head to the grocery store. Cook something for a party we are going to tonight. Are you exhausted yet!! I am and my day is just beginning.

I’m sure there are plenty of days you have where you are not sure where you are going to find time for yourself. Well this is how I’m going to do it. I looked at my day and decided that I needed to crave out some times for myself and not feel guility. Can you do that’ Out of a 24 hour day, I’ll give 8 hours to sleep, can you find at least 1 hour during the 16 hours that remain on a given Saturday or Sunday to do something for yourself’
