Post-It Note Wisdom: Talk about your blessings...

Starting this week off right with this little gem. 

Lead with Your Heart, Not Your Ego

Stay Positive & Smile

Last week I had a meeting, and it did NOT go as I had planned. After it I felt aggravated, negative and just plain uncomfortable. I was angry and snippy with my coworkers. Yuck...

The week after we had a follow-up meeting and I was determined for it to be much more successful than the last. I grabbed a sticky note and wrote stay POSITIVE and smile. I had pages of notes but I stuck it dead center on the top page to keep me focused and centered throughout it. 

I took a few breaths, smiled, then called in for our meeting. About 45 minutes later I hung up the phone AMAZED by how incredibly well the meeting went. After creating that intention I was able to carry out that meeting even better than I had hoped. What a valuable lesson learned! Great for work, spouses, friends, anything really. Give it a try!

Post-It Note Wisdom: Without awareness, nothing can change.

A silly example of this quote above:  I have a terrible habit of

gnawing at my cuticles when I'm anxious or nervous (which is pretty

often).  My boyfriend is disgusted by the nasty habit (as am I) and

reminds me that it's just as bad as when someone picks their nose in public.

The more I thought about his statement (now I've got the awareness),

I've been much more conscious of stopping myself when I bite.  

Moral of the story = picking your nose or biting on or around your nails is gross...so stop!  But also, once we have awareness regarding something, we also have the ability to change it.  Whoo-hoo!

Post-It Note Wisdom: Take care of MYSELF.

It's really easy to take care of others and neglect ourselves.
Begin to schedule in time for YOU into your calendar and treat yourself
the same way you would another person that you care about.  

Post-It Note Wisdom: Be Here NOW.

No matter where you are or what you're experiencing, you can always
take a deep, full breath and experience the NOW.

Post-It Note Wisdom: I breathe goodness in & out.

Take a deep breath and imagine breathing in love, light and goodness.
Now let that breath go and feel love, light and goodness flow from you.
How good does that feel?!

Post-It Note Wisdom: What the mind believes, the body achieves.

Buddha says, "every human being is the author of his own health
or disease."  We forget (or perhaps not know) how powerful our
minds and thoughts are.  The body sure does listen to our thoughts,
so think wisely!

Post-It Note Wisdom: The Journey is the Reward

This will forever be my favorite quote!  Reminds me to slow down
and enjoy this very moment...right now.
