Hello Beautiful...
"Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around."
This is a quote from Penelope Cruz in the movie Vanilla Sky. It quote has stayed with me since the first time I heard it, years ago when that movie first came out.
And honestly my friend, Every passing moment IS another chance to turn it all around!
If you stop to think about this for a minute, you know in your heart that it is absolutely true. We are 100% capable of examining our lives and changing our habits and mindset any time we choose to do so. "Not me", you say? Well let me show you how.
Almost everything we do, every day of our lives comes from a choice we've made. For example:
We choose to go to work. Or not.
Choose to over eat. Or not.
Choose to under eat. Or not.
Choose to sleep in. Or not.
Choose to stay up late.
Dress as though we do or do not care about how we look.
Choose to watch TV.
Surround ourselves with beautiful things.
Surround ourselves with crap.
Choose to be happy.
Choose to do a good deed. Or not.
Choose to over spend.
Everything we do as we move through every day is a choice. And believe me when I tell you: THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!!
Do you feel like you are living a life that is not quite up to what you desire? Well, YOU get to change that! Right now!
If your self confidence level isn't quite up to par, change it! Dress better! Put on some lipstick! Get cute! Read some news! Learn something! Clean something up! Read something inspiring! These are all things you can do immediately to improve your self confidence. Every day, when you are getting ready to start your day, you are making these choices. Why not make better ones?
This is how we create Beauty, Brains and Brilliance in our lives. By making choices that lead us toward the life we desire.
Any given second, you can say, "I'm done being grumpy for today." And find something that makes you smile or laugh. Then practice feeling that happy feeling for the rest of the day. Yes it takes practice, but it is so worth it!
Any given moment, you can say, "I don't want to be that person anymore." And begin to do things differently.
Any given hour you can say. "I don't want to be the woman who over eats." And you can decide to put off that snack for a while longer.
Any given day you can say, "I want to feel elegant from now on." And you can begin planning the outfit and accessories and lipstick you want to wear tomorrow.
Any given week you can say, "Yes, I'm grateful for what I have, but this is not my dream job." And quietly begin looking for something that lights you up!
Yes, these are just examples, but they are choices and decisions that you are making every day! Good decisions or bad, whether they are on purpose decisions or subconscious decisions that you don't even realize you're making throughout your day. You ARE making them.
So now that the light bulb has gone on over that pretty little head of yours, don't you think it's time that you got into the Pilot's seat of your private jet and started mapping out your course, rather than living out of habit or default?
Take the time to decide who you want to become. Find 20 or 30 quiet, alone, uninterrupted minutes to contemplate this idea. Once you know who and what you want to be, you can begin making daily choices that will guide you toward that place.
In this day and age, and at our age, there is no reason for us to live an unfulfilled life! We can be whomever, and do whatever we want to do! So who are YOU going to be tomorrow?
Love,
Donna
