I AM THANKFUL

There is always something to be thankful for. – Unknown Author

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! I don’t know about you, but I have so much to be thankful for on today. Life is better when you smile from time to time, cry a little, laugh a lot, and are thankful for everything you’ve got.

Here’s just a few things that I am thankful for:

• I am thankful to still be in the land of the living.

• I am thankful for salvation and Jesus dying on the cross.

• I am thankful for my family and friends.

• I am thankful for our lovely home.

• I am thankful for reliable transportation.

• I am thankful for having a good portion of health and strength.

• I am thankful for having food to eat and clean water to drink.

• I am thankful for my Renew Inspiration blog.

There is always something to be thankful for. Would you agree? Yes, even when we are in the midst of a storm in our life, we have to hold our head up and thank God for giving us the strength to overcome the many obstacles that come and go throughout our personal journey called life.

TIME FOR REFLECTION

Be kind. Be thoughtful. Be genuine, but most of all be thankful. – Unknown Author

Now, I am going to ask you to step out of your comfort zone. Go to a quiet place, clear your mind, and make sure you have a pen/pencil and a notebook. Throughout life it’s important to make time for reflection and what better time to start than Thanksgiving Day. Take a deep breath and free your soul before assessing your own spiritual wellness.

Here’s the questions that you need to ask yourself:

• What gives my life meaning and purpose?

• What give me hope?

• How do I get through tough times? Where do I find comfort?

• Am I tolerant of other people’s views about life issues?

• Do I make attempts to expand my awareness of different ethnic, racial and religious groups?

• Do I make time for relaxation in my day?

• Do my values guide my decisions and actions?

My suggestion is to gather all of the questions at one time, but take your time to answer them. Then, it is important for you to be open and honest with yourself as well. There is no right or wrong way to complete this task. Finally, you need to re-visit your questions and answers from time to time.

WAYS TO COPE DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON

When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. When life is bitter, say thank you and grow. – Unknown Author

I am thankful for the gift of life and for those I am blessed to share this wonderful life with. I take nothing for granted during the holidays because I realize this can be a difficult and stressful time for most people for many reasons, such as the loss of a loved one, broken relationships, unemployment, depression, anxiety, just to name a few. Unfortunately, this is me in a nutshell. Despite experiencing all of these things in my life at one point or another, I am still thankful for all of it.

Everything that I have gone through has helped mold and shape me into the beautiful and smart woman I am today. Every single struggle and setback I encountered has made me a stronger, wiser and humble person. We have to humble ourselves in life, so we can learn from life lessons. Believe it or not, if I would not have gone through so much pain and heartache in life, my Renew Inspiration blog would not exist today.

Here’s some ways to help you cope during the holiday season:

• Pray and meditate to help clear your mind and uplift your spirit.

• Practice journaling often to express yourself. Remember, written expressions open doors to your soul.

• Read inspirational blogs, books or quotes to help boost self-confidence.

• Plan quiet time alone to gather your thoughts and feelings.

• Be honest with yourself and others. Never hold back how you feel. Open communication is healthy.

• Practice yoga or do stretches to help strengthen your body and help you relax.

• Exercise daily to move your body and boost energy.

• Participate in therapy sessions with a professional therapist for encouragement and support.

I am truly blessed with everything I need. I am working hard toward everything I want. And most of all, I appreciate and thank God for what I have. Thank you for your part in my journey! I appreciate you taking the time to read my Renew Inspiration blog, writing thoughtful and caring comments, and most of all, taking that leap of faith and subscribing to my blog. Take a moment and share my blog so that others may be blessed as well.

A goal without a timeline is just a dream. – Unknown Author

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! This is a great time of the year to discuss setting goals. But not just any goals. Let’s discuss setting goals to achieve success. Some people are inspired to dance, to sing, to draw, to become a doctor, an engineer, a teacher, an entrepreneur, to do mission work, to lose weight, to be great parents, and even to become the President of the United States.

What does all of these have in common? Well, in order to stay inspired to do great things in life, you have to set goals to achieve success whether it is on a personal, academic, or career level. Then, you have to be disciplined enough to work hard and show your passion for whatever you set your heart out to do.

AMAZON RESOURCE # 1

SMART GOALS

A goal should scare you a little, and excite you a lot. – Joe Vitale

First, a SMART goal is a goal that is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time based. In addition, SMART goals are very clear and easily understood.

• S – Specific (or Significant)

• M – Measurable (or Meaningful)

• A – Attainable (or Action-Oriented)

• R – Relevant (or Rewarding)

• T – Time-bound (or Trackable)

It is important to consider what you want to achieve in life, and then you must commit to it. Start with setting SMART goals that motivate you. Next, write your SMART goals down to make them feel tangible.

Here’s an example of a SMART goal:

• Simple Goal – I want to improve my health.

• Smart Goal – I will improve my health by eating 100 grams of protein, drinking 64oz of water and exercising every day.

If you start now, you’ll begin seeing results one day earlier than if you start tomorrow.

AMAZON RESOURCE #2

WHY SET GOALS?

The harder you work for something, the greater you’ll feel when you achieve it. – Unknown Author

I’ve learned that people set goals for many reasons. For example, setting goals may give you long-term vision and short-term motivation. Also, the goal setting process helps you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the most of your life. When you set clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals.

Here’s a few additional reasons why people set goals:

• To decide what you want to achieve in your life.

• To separate what’s important from what’s irrelevant or a distraction.

• To motivate and inspire yourself to be better each day.

• To build your self-confidence, based on successful achievement of goals.

AMAZON RESOURCE #3

THE PLANNING PROCESS

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. – Jim Rohn

Moreover, striving to achieve your goals take not only commitment, but you must prioritize, plan and be willing to adjust your way o thinking. Finally, after you establish your goals, now it is time to create and follow a plan to make your goals a reality.

Here’s some important information to keep in mind during the planning process:

• Make clear deadlines for achieving your goals.

• Set personal milestones to stay motivated.

• Decide what actions are required to reach your goals.

• Put your actions into a schedule that is easy to follow.

• Readjust your goals or plan as you see fit throughout your journey.

Don’t wait until January 2020 to set goals. Start planning today for a better and stronger tomorrow. Don’t limit your challenges, challenge your limits. Don’t decrease the goal. Increase the effort. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s plan to set goals to achieve success!

When you try something, you risk failure. But when you don’t, you ensure it. – Unknown Author

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! I’ve learned a lot of new information related to blogging this year. Today I am excited to share my progress with you. Even though, there is so much information swirling around on the web, the blogging process can be overwhelming to the average person. Now, don’t get me wrong. Blogging can be a rewarding opportunity for most people who choose to do it, but launching a new blog can still be a scary experience for many. It’s important for new bloggers to keep learning, be flexible, ask for help, and be willing to adjust with the blogging industry standards.

AMAZON RESOURCE # 1

REASONS WHY PEOPLE BLOG

To begin with, let’s take a moment to look at some reasons why people blog. For example, some people use blogging to:

• Inspire, encourage and motivate

• Teach and establish expertise

• Share ideas and their passion for writing

• Cope with life and its many challenges

• Expand networking opportunities

• Express yourself and share creative writing

• Maintain online journal

• Provide book reviews or product reviews

• Capture travel experiences and photos

• Make money by selling product or using affiliate programs

AMAZON RESOURCE #2

TIPS FOR NEW BLOGGERS

Moreover, if you’re riding the fence about exploring a blogging venture, here’s some valuable tips for new bloggers to think about before attempting to launch their new blog:

• Tip 1: Determine your niche first – What is your passion? What do you want to share with the world? What is your specialty or your expertise?

• Tip 2: Identify your target audience – Who is your ideal reader? Write directly to them. Keep your readers wanting more from you with a strong headline and intro.

• Tip 3: Create clear and precise goals for your blog – Why are you blogging? For fun, a hobby, a business, to sell product or to monetize using affiliates? Write down your goals and make sure to reflect on them when preparing blog posts.

• Tip 4: Come up with a catchy blog title and tag line to get your readers attention. Then, create the perfect logo for your blog.

• Tip 5: Determine if you want to launch your blog using a free website or if you want to invest money in a company like WordPress, then a hosting company like Blue Host.

• Tip 6: Establish one or two social media platforms to focus on when you first launch your new blog. Remember, to share your new blog posts on all your social media platforms. Once you are comfortable, add more as you have the time.

• Tip 7: Have 2 or 3 really in-depth blog posts complete before you decide to launch your new blog. In addition, have more blog posts in various stages, such as drafts to be edited, outlines and topic ideas ready to write.

AMAZON RESOURCE #3

HOW TO START A BLOG

Now, that you’ve decided blogging will work for you and your lifestyle, it’s time to start your blog. The good news is that starting a blog or adding a blog to your existing website is easy and affordable. Here’s the steps to start a blog:

Step 1 – Setting Up Blog – There are free blog options such as WordPress.com or Blogger, but to retain control and professional image, consider investing in a domain name and hosting, and installing WordPress or other content management system on your host.

Step 2 – Add Content – Once your blog is up and running, you need to keep it active with new and fresh content to grow your readership. I would suggest developing a set schedule for writing and posting to your blog.

Step 3 – Marketing – Great ways to reach your market are through social media, an email list and reaching out to other bloggers.

Step 4 – Add Income Streams – You can promote other companies’ products and services in affiliate marketing. Most companies, such as Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target and Kohls offer this program. You can also offer advertising or feed ad networks, such as AdSense, on to your blog.

Once you have launched your blog, it is important for you to stay engaged with your readers. I am going to be honest, engaged will mean different things for different people. For example, if you are selling product or a service, you need to respond to your customers on a regularly basis. However, some people are blogging just as a hobby, so your engagement may be less involved and limited to writing blog comments or subscribing to other people’s blogs.

AMAZON RESOURCE #4

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS AFTER BLOG LAUNCH

Finally, ready, set, blog! It’s your time to shine with written word. Inspire others, be creative and always look for new ways to connect to your readers, but at the same time take it slow. Here’s some other helpful suggestions to keep in mind once you have launched your blog:

• Post consistently – Plan to post 2 to 3 times per week to stay engaged with your readers.

• Use quality photos – Whether you take your own photos or pull photos from a free site, such as Pixabay or Pexels, make sure to use quality photos that are relevant to your blog post.

• Discover your writing style – Start with a catchy lead, have a conversational tone throughout your blog and ask questions at the end to get your readers engaged.

• Write down your thoughts – When inspiration swirls in your head, write it down so you can reflect on it later. It is important to keep all your thoughts and ideas in one place for easy access during the writing process.

• Social Media connections – Give your readers three or more ways to follow you. For example, Facebook, Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.

• Comment on other blogs – Don’t be shy and be sure to write encouraging comments on other blogs. In most cases, the other bloggers will show your blog some love too.

• Facebook Groups – Join some Facebook Groups to network, share your blog content, learn from other bloggers and to offer support to others who may just be starting out.

• Pinterest Boards/Pins – Join some Pinterest Boards and create some boards of your own. Then, create Pins and share them on various boards.

Remember, you do not need to understand everything about the blogging process before you launch. I hope these suggestions and tips give you something to think about from one new blogger to another. Good luck and happy blogging!

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Well, it is official after seven years of working part-time hours, I have accepted a full-time secretary position in an educational setting. I am excited and nervous about this transition. Even though I know this is a great opportunity, I feel my emotions and mind jumping all over the place. Simply put, I feel myself out of balance.

When we find ourselves out of balance, our lives may include challenges, such as burnout, health problems, financial distress, emotional eating, isolation, and relationship issues just to name a few. Don’t worry, take a deep breath, and know that it happens to the best of us. It’s important for you to know that transitioning back to greatness and regaining balance in life is the key to your peace and happiness.

AMAZON RESOURCE # 1

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EMOTIONAL BALANCE

Life is a balance between holding on and letting go. – Rumi

While you’re traveling along your journey in life, it is important to understand the basic characteristics of maintaining emotional balance. After all, the characteristics of emotional balance allows you to participate in life to the fullest extent possible.

Here’s a list of the characteristics of emotional balance:

• A sense of contentment.

• A passion for living and enjoying life to the fullest.

• The ability to deal with stressful situations.

• The flexibility to learn new things and adapt to change.

• The ability to bounce back from adversity.

• A healthy level of self-confidence and self-respect.

• The ability to build and maintain fulfilling relationships.

AMAZON RESOURCE #2

EXAMPLES YOUR LIFE IS OUT OF BALANCE

To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life. – Elizabeth Gilbert

Moreover, to overcome this difficult challenge in life, you must first acknowledge that your life is out of balance. Don’t be afraid to address anything in your life that do not align with your lifestyle and beliefs.

Here’s some examples you may encounter when your life is out of balance:

• You find yourself reacting to everything in a negative way.

• You have unidentified and reoccurring health issues, such as fatigue or stress.

• You feel like every little thing is an emergency in your mind.

• You may be too tired to recognize or enforce your own emotional, personal, and professional boundaries.

• You constantly question your decisions in life and worry about everything.

AMAZON RESOURCE #3

WAYS TO REGAIN BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE

Remain calm in every situation because peace equals power. – Joyce Meyer

Finally, once you’ve identified that there is an issue with your life, it is important to regain balance in your life by any means necessary.

Here’s some ways you can help regain balance in your life:

• Slow down. It is important to establish control over your time by slowing down.

• Live in the now. The fewer thoughts you have about your past or future, the more you’ll be present to your own inner spirit. Be realistic and determined all at the same time.

• Let go of control. Allow things to progress at their own pace so that you develop trust in the flow of life.

• Break old patterns. Simply breaking old habits one by one will begin to erode negative thought patterns and beliefs.

• Explore triggers to emotional highs and lows. It is important to avoid problems by identifying the root cause of your emotional challenges.

• Nurture yourself. Find time to be relaxed and happy throughout your day. For example, try meditation, getting a massage, reading a book, spending time in nature.

• Be determined to go back. Don’t make excuses. Instead, make a plan for returning to the workforce.

• If you avoid the conflict to keep the peace, you start a war inside yourself.

• Doing your best does not mean working yourself to the point of mental breakdown.

• Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Well, I have to admit, I did not do very well with the Blogtober Challenge that I started on October 1. Even with planning and having the right intentions, I just could not blog as much as I wanted to. My husband is still recovering from his foot surgery, I’ve been working during the week, and helping my boys with homework. Despite all of that, I could not end October without writing a Halloween blog post.

It’s that time of year again when the leaves are falling from the trees, the days become shorter, and the temperatures begin to drop. When fall arrives we know Halloween shortly follows. I have to admit, I have never been excited about Halloween, but it was always nice to go trick-or-treating as a family. However, as you get older, trick-or-treating becomes very old and boring.

AMAZON RESOURCE # 1 – Halloween Decorations

Nowadays, Halloween can get very expensive with buying costumes, buying candy/treats, and going to various Halloween parties. Depending on your family size and the ages of your children, you may have to get a little creative when planning to celebrate Halloween.

Here’s some family-friendly ways to celebrate Halloween without buying costumes or going out to trick-or-treat:

• Decorate your house with fall colors, festive leaves, pumpkins, and wreaths.

• Go to a pumpkin patch to select your favorite pumpkin(s).

• Visit a local farm or park to enjoy hay rides, bonfires, corn mazes, and haunted houses.

• Have a pumpkin painting or carving party with a twist. Encourage the participants to be as creative as possible when decorating the pumpkins.

• Make pumpkin bread, popcorn balls, or any Halloween themed snacks as a family. Then, watch your favorite scary classic movies as a family.

Celebrate Halloween, Pumpkins, Autumn, Fall Holiday — pixabay

• Host an orange and black party. Ask all guests to wear orange and black. Serve a variety of orange and black snacks/drinks.

• Enjoy a big bonfire outside in the backyard and tell scary stories.

• Visit a local cider mill to enjoy warm cider, donuts, live music, and apples.

• Enjoy time as a family doing spooky crafts, playing board games, and eating sweet treats.

• Visit a church that’s hosting Harvest Night which normally provides a safe, but fun environment for the children.

Remember, Halloween is just a bunch of hocus pocus for some and for others it’s a time to have lots of fun. Have a safe and Happy Halloween, in whatever ways you choose to celebrate!

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! God is our healer today, tomorrow and forever! Do you believe this on today? Despite what we may be going through in our lives, God wants to heal us from our emotional bondage that continues to hinder our spiritual growth to maturity. God wants to give us peace, love, and comfort throughout our lives. God wants to free our minds, bodies, and spirits from those things that will harm us. God does not want us to live in pain and misery. It’s important for all of us to read, pray and meditate in God’s Word.

AMAZON RESOURCE # 1 – Purchase and try your first month free.

There is no doubt in my mind that God is my healer. No matter what my mind is telling me or how my body may feel, I trust God to heal me from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. I ask God to bless me with vibrant health and overflowing joy every day. How about you? When you enter God’s presence with praise, God enters your circumstances with power. Yes, we should be confident and know that God is forever powerful within this Earthly realm. Before you read any further, let’s get ourselves prepared for a spiritual breakthrough. Please grab a pen or pencil, a Bible, your journal or a notebook.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (I Peter 2:24)

Here’s some life challenges that you or someone you know maybe facing:

• Mind – Mental Illness, Depression, Mood Disorders, Bipolar Disorders, Schizophrenia, Anxiety Disorders, Personality Disorders, Worry

• Body – Physical Aches and Pains, Stress, Eating Disorders, Arthritis, Stroke, Heart Attack, High or Low Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Cancer

• Spirit – Lost in Sin, Nonbelievers

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)

In addition, God has provided the following spiritual tools to assist us in this healing process:

• The Cross of Jesus Christ
• God’s Word
• Rejoicing and Praise
• The Holy Spirit
• God’s Body, the Church
• A New Self-Image in Jesus Christ

AMAZON RESOURCE # 2 – Purchase this resource to help improve your life and meditations.

THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. (Matthew 10:38)

As you may or may not know, the cross is God’s remedy for our emotional pain and distress. Without Jesus’ death on the cross for our sins, no one would have eternal life. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). This verse explains the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The cross of Jesus Christ provides the way to heaven for sinful mankind, like you and I, who could never get there on our own.

• Ways I want God to transform me…
• Define an area in my spiritual life where I need to see God’s guidance is…

GOD’S WORD

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)

Next, the healing power of God’s Word is shown throughout the Bible. God truly has unfailing love for His people. God has always challenged us through His Word to experience Him in a tangible, but loving way so that He could bless us with health through our obedience. The Word of God says, “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life” (Proverbs 6:23).

• My favorite passage of Scripture is…
• One lesson I learned from Scripture this week is…

REJOICING AND PRAISE

I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high. (Psalm 7:17)

God is the only unchanging constant in our lives. When all is gone – health, family, friends, money, position, etc. God remains. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Isn’t that something to rejoice about? Not only is God present with us, but God’s Word also tells us that nothing can separate from that great unconditional love.

• Today or this week I was most blessed by…
• The area where I need to put more trust in God is…

THE HOLY SPIRIT

Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. (Proverbs 1:23)

Believe it or not, it is a fact that God knew that we could not change our sinful ways or heal ourselves in our own strength. God gave us His Holy Spirit to live within us and to take up residence in our hearts. The Holy Spirit gives us new birth, makes us a new creation in God’s sight and places us into the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit helps us to better understand and apply Scripture to our daily lives. (I Corinthians 2:12-13)

• I feel God’s presence most when…
• I feel most distant from God when…

GOD’S BODY, THE CHURCH

And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18)

God’s Word tells us that God loves and accepts us, yet we strive to get love and acceptance from people we can see, hear and touch. If one part of the Christian body suffers, every other part suffers with it. So, if you are in a difficult situation, do not be alone. Reach out to Christian family members, friends, support groups, or spiritual counselors.

• I am eager for God to…
• My calling in life is…

AMAZON RESOURCE #4 – Purchase this resource to help improve your life and learn more about the Word of God.

A NEW SELF-IMAGE IN JESUS CHRIST

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. (Galatians 6:3)

Not only must we believe in God’s evaluation of us, but we need to reject what our own faulty experiences and emotions tell us. Remember, self-image doesn’t change because we focus on pleasing ourselves, but it changes because we believe God and accept His love for us.

• An aspect of God’s character he recently revealed to me is…
• God is leading me to make the following changes…

Always remember, nothing in this world is too big for our God. Don’t underestimate God in times of trouble or distress. Humble yourself and turn it all over to God to handle. Allow God to guide your every thought, your every step along this journey called life. As I stated earlier, God is our healer today, tomorrow and forever!

Fall Back in a Healthy Way

Don’t just focus on weight loss, focus on living your life in a healthy way. – Unknown Author

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Today, I want to talk about a very important topic that we experience every year. On the first Sunday of November, our clocks will move back an hour at 2 a.m., and we will gain an hour of sleep as we “fall back” as Daylight- Saving Time officially ends. Unfortunately, that extra hour of rest will come at a cost to our daily routines.

DAYLIGHT-SAVING TIME

For those of us who live in cooler climates like Michigan, the end of Daylight-Saving Time reminds us that we will:

• Sleep one extra hour each day, but still feel tired.
• Feel the chilly winds very soon.
• Pull out our sweaters and jackets.
• Have less daylight in the evening hours.
• Stay indoors a lot more due to the weather and darkness.

AMAZON RESOURCE # 1 – Purchase this item to improve your healthy journey.

TIPS TO FALL BACK IN A HEALTHY WAY

The secret to living well is – eat half, walk double, laugh triple and love without measure. – Tibetan Proverb

However, for many people, the end of Daylight-Saving time may increase cases of depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), cluster headaches, and other health concerns, such as drowsiness and irritability. Even though there’s nothing you can do to fully compensate for the sudden time change, it’s important to make this experience as healthy as you can.

Here’s some tips to fall back in a healthy way:

• Advance Preparation for the fall time change. Move your clock backwards on Saturday night and think about readjusting your bed time to better align with the time change.

• Don’t stay up later. Be sure to go to bed on time. Allow your body to readjust to the time change in a healthy way.

• Limit all alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine on the Saturday before. These items can impact your ability to fall asleep and they can also trigger headaches.

• Get a lot of sunshine. Go outside and get a lot of sunshine. If it’s too cold, open your blinds. Try to go for walks during the day to help boost your mood and energy.

• Exercise daily. Mild exercise, such as walking can help keep you from crashing on the couch after work.

• Ditch the naps. Although a power nap during the day is tempting, don’t do it. If you get tired, get up and take a walk or do a vigorous exercise routine.

• Resist sleeping in. Do not sleep in. Get up like you normally do. It’s important to jump right into your daily routine.

• Adjust lighting. Adjusting the amount of light and dark in your home/office can help make the transition less difficult.

AMAZON RESOURCE # 2 – Purchase this item to learn more about setting goals.

FEED YOUR FOCUS

A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. – Arthur Golden

Now, it’s time to focus on what really matters, right? Not the time change, but life, family, careers, households, hobbies, etc. Whether you are trying to focus on some personal goals for yourself or trying to pursue a new career, it’s important to set goals, stay motivated, be productive, and change your mindset.

Set Goals

• Evaluate your current situation – What do you want to change?
• Determine your goals – What do you want to improve?
• Write down your goals and revisit your goals daily
• Write down a plan to reach your goals
• Establish a reward system when you reach milestones
• Check your progress and readjust your goals as necessary

Stay Motivated

• Recite positive affirmations and quotes
• Read inspirational and motivational books
• Pick a healthy habit to work on daily
• Join a supportive group to receive encouragement and feedback
• Determine weaknesses and strengths
• Think positive and remind yourself of your goals
• Track your progress throughout the week

Be Productive

• Strive for consistency while working on projects
• Observe how you plan your days – Use a daily To-Do List
• Define your priorities – What’s important to you?
• Have a positive mindset daily
• Define your focus

Change Your Mindset

• Positive thoughts equal positive outcomes
• Admit that your thinking needs to be adjusted
• Seek positive support from family, friends, support groups
• Immerse yourself in personal growth – Read inspirational books or listen to positive speakers
• Forward thinking will move your focus away from where you don’t want to be to where could be

I hope these tips will help you approach the upcoming Daylight-Saving Time in a more positive way.

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Believe in yourself. Be brave and take risks. After all, nothing can substitute an experience, whether it is positive or negative. Today, I want to talk about Journaling to Move Mountains. Let’s take a moment and think about the following questions.

• Why do I write in my journal?
• What do I want to learn about myself?
• What am I exceptionally good at?
• How do I shine from day to day?
• Do I have any talents or special skills?
• How do I stand out in a crowd?

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do. – Orison Swett Marden

Mind – Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it faith. Feed it truth. Feed it with love.

Body – Your body is healthy and beautiful.

Spirit – Everything you need is within you.

Well, I hope you have your journal and something to write with. I love to write in my journal because it is a safe place for me to put my feelings and emotions into words, then put my words into action. Journal writing is a form of personal expression. Journal writing can be whatever you want it to be. Remember, journal writing is your very own personal journey throughout life, your ups and downs, your successes and failures.

So, when you first read the title Journaling to Move Mountains, what were you thinking? What does the title Journaling to Move Mountains mean to you and your current situation? Whenever you make the decision to move mountains, you must put in some hard work and dedication. Let’s face it, most of us did not just wake up one day and have a successful career, a beautiful home, a healthy fitness routine, etc. You had to first decide what you wanted to work on, then you had to plan, then you had to execute your plan into action. In reality, most people fail many times before they succeed so never give up on your dreams.

AMAZON RESOURCE # 2 – Purchase this book to learn how to set SMART goals.

Well, in order to use journaling to move mountains, you must begin to think and act differently. Here’s a few concepts to keep in mind throughout this wholesome journey:

GOAL SETTING

Goal setting is important in every aspect of your life. To pursue new ideas or strive to reach your dreams, you must have a plan to do so. Here’s some steps to follow when goal setting:

• Identify what you want and name your specific goal(s). You can brainstorm each area of your life and identify one or two things you want most and set these as your beginning goals, such as weight loss, exercising more, building stronger relationships, being a better person, etc.
• Write your goal(s) down and write the steps needed to facilitate the goal(s). Make sure to include changes in habits and lifestyle that must take place.
• Take each of the steps you wrote down and incorporate them into your current lifestyle. You may need to rearrange your work schedule, ask for help around the house from family or friends, etc.
• Begin to visualize yourself after your goals are achieved. Take a moment and ask yourself what life looks like after the goals are reached, then spend a few minutes every day picturing yourself in that very same life.
• Evaluate your progress as you move through the steps you’ve identified as necessary to reach your goals and adjust your efforts as needed.

SELF-CONFIDENCE

Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, but if we are honest with ourselves, we sometimes struggle to find it throughout our everyday lives. Did you know that gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success in life? Unfortunately, people who lack self-confidence find it difficult to become successful. There are two main things that contribute to self-confidence: self-efficacy (when we see ourselves and others mastering skills and achieving goals) and self-esteem (we cope with what’s going on in our lives and know that we have a right to be happy). Here’s some ways for you to build self-confidence:

• Prepare for your journey. Look at what you’ve already achieved, think about your strengths, think about what’s important to you, and where you want to go in life.
• Set out on your journey. Build the knowledge you need to succeed, focus on the basics, set small goals and achieve them.
• Accelerate towards success. By this point, you should feel your self-confidence building from within. Keep yourself grounded and always aware of how you feel throughout this process.

SELF-CARE

Prioritizing everyone else in your life may seem honorable, but the reality is, totally neglecting yourself isn’t good for anyone. In order to take care of others, you first need to take care of yourself. Here’s some great ways to practice self-care:

• Make time for exercise or yoga.
• Read an inspirational book or read positive affirmations.
• Listen to soothing music with your eyes closed.
• Create a relaxing routine (warm bath, meditation, reading, writing in your journal).
• Get out in nature (go for a walk, run, or hike).

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION

Without a strong spiritual foundation, you cannot withstand the storms of life that you may be facing, whether they are financial, emotional, or relational. Although society and culture may offer many solutions to help you brace against the struggles of daily living, here’s the three essentials needed in your spiritual life to weather any storm you might be dealt:

• Praise and Worship
• The Word of God
• Prayer

These spiritual essentials will help you build strength (your spiritual foundation) and begin to experience a powerful new sense of God’s presence and purpose in your life.
