It's All In How you Look At Things







Everyone has their own way of looking at things.  Every situation comes down to how we look at, and perceive it to be.  It is all only a matter of perception.  We are individuals.  We all have different personalities, and thought processes.  We all perceive things differently.

Do you see situations as black and white, or do you see the shades of gray?  Is the glass half empty, or is the glass half full?  Do you see a setback as failure, or as an opportunity to try again and do better?  Do you take a negative situation, and try to find the positive in it?  Do you look at how far you have come, or only see how far you still have to go?

If we look at things the right way, we can take any negative situation, turn it around, and find something positive in it.   When we stumble on our journey, we can't let ourselves look at it as a failure.  We must look at it as an opportunity to learn, to get back up, and to try again.  When a friend is down, we can look for the positive in their situation and try to help them turn it around in their own minds.  You would want your friends to do the same for you.

Remember, that there is always more than one way to look at every situation.  Take a step back and think about the situation.  Look for the positive.  A positive outlook goes a long way!


Always remember – YOU ARE AWESOME!  Go out and make it a great day!

Decisions! Decisions!

 Every day, all of us have to make decisions - what to wear, where to go, what to do, what to eat, and probably many more decisions.  More often than not, I struggle with decisions.  Some days I go through 2-3 outfits before I make a decision.  I'm often involved in the conversation of "Where do you want to go?" "I don't know, where do you want to go?" I am an "over-thinker," and sometimes, I think that makes it even more difficult to make the decision.  There are times that I wish someone else would just make decisions for me! I just got back from vacation, and I had a very difficult time making decisions - food decisions.  A few years ago, my boyfriend and I went on vacation, and we were both on diets.  We went to this famous restaurant, and didn't want to cheat, so we didn't eat anything that we "shouldn't" eat.  That was over four years ago, and we still talk about how we will never do that again.  It bothere...

Celebrate Your Wins

Celebrations are so much fun!  There are not enough celebrations in our lives!  Only we can change this! We each have big goals that will take a while to accomplish.  What we need to think about, is that we accomplish smaller goals every day, that lead us to accomplishing our main goal.  Did you eat better today?  Did you drink more water?  Did you take more steps?  Did you weigh in, and the number on the scale go down?  Did you fit into a smaller size in clothes?  Did you feel good today?  Did you like the person that you saw in the mirror?  Were you proud of yourself today? Those are only a few examples of ways that we win each day!  Celebrate your wins!  Be proud!  Post them for others to see!  Congratulate others on their wins!  Celebrating these wins will make our goals seem attainable!  Celebrating with others has a positive impact, for them, but also, for yourself! Take time to ce...

I'm Just Not Feeling It Today

I'm just not feeling it today.  The alarm clock goes off, and you don't want to get up.  You force yourself to get out of bed, but you just want to crawl back in.  You see yourself in the mirror, bed-head and all, and you think to yourself that it just takes way too much effort to get in the shower, to get dressed, to brush your hair, etc.  You decide it all can wait.  You make your way to the couch, and turn on the TV.   In the back of your mind, you may be thinking that you need to get up and exercise.  Maybe you need to do laundry, or go to the store.  You quickly push those thoughts aside.  The next thing you know, you have binge-watched 5 hours of Netflix, maybe even mindlessly eating.  You are suffering from a serious lack of motivation. Have this ever been you?  I'm guilty.  I've had days like this where my fitness tracker didn't track over 500 steps for the whole da...
