I O U Joy!

Make more room for yourself in your life. Sure, everyone and everything that needs you, needs you, but you need some of you too. Unapologetically, take care of yourself. Be mindfully, aware, motivated, and committed to you. Invest in yourself just as much as you would anyone else. Own your time. Once you decide to carve out time for yourself, you really see just how much of your daily agenda is filled with all of the things that are dependent on you and you alone, but are in no way for you. However, as you see how difficult it is to squeeze you in, challenge yourself to prioritize your day, week, and month's worth of responsibilities. Do not let your grade A commitment to others allow you to ignore your own needs. Put yourself at the top of your priority list everyday, and let everything and everyone else be second, falling in line behind you. Put on your own oxygen mask before you assist others on a plane and in life. In most cases, second is just as good as first, and in all events of spreading and sharing the best parts of you, you would be best found in a space of love and joy; making yourself a priority will get you there. You can not give away something you do not already possess. Make room in your day to cultivate your own joy, then spread it around. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me @_TheAnswerKey daily!

Feeling Stagnant? Get Unstuck...

Pray first. Then, count your blessings because gratitude and anxiety cannot share the same space. Now, prepare to shake things up. Take a trip. Take a drive. Take a walk or simply step outside. Close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth so you can smell and taste the air. Focus on the beating of your own heart. That sweet rhythm... let it be a calm and steady reminder that your presence is important and your Being is enough. Then, intentionally create more joy every chance you get.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

Let Go Like Elsa

Know when it is time to cut ties with the the ignorant, the indecent, classless, dramatic, disrespectful, and the delusional- let them go. Let them be and fester amongst themselves. Refuse to give them the audience they crave. Know when you are above the fray, and act accordingly. Remain elevated. Remember that you are pragmatic, motivated, sophisticated, and celebrated among those that truly know you. Be dutifully at work on your greatness and betterment- be better and move on. ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

I.Y.K.Y.K.

They will always think what they want, and there is nothing you can do about it. Now, you be the judge. Judge for yourself. Look yourself in the mirror and answer to you. Everyone else's take is just their opinion. The ideas they have formed about who they think you are have nothing to do with you, who you are, or who you are becoming. Even for the people that matter, whose opinions you hope are positive and at the very least, pragmatic- they only know some of your depth. Even they can not attest to your every challenge, consideration, conquest, desire or fear. Speak for yourself and speak up. Make sure you get your attention, and get to the business of being someone you would speak highly of.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!
