Feeling Blah?

Have you ever been in one of those funks where you just are feeling off or blah? A period of time lasting a few days to a few weeks, that it’s hard to get motivated to do much? Or the enjoyment of doing things isn’t there? Or it just seems like you are going through the motions? Doing the same thing day in and day out? Is it ground hogs’ day on repeat? Is it the winter Blues? Or something else?
 
In this episode, I will share with you the 10+ areas of my life I evaluate when I am feeling blah or off to see how I am taking care of myself and how those same aspects are the solution for feeling more alive, more connected, more energized and more productive.
The areas of my life I evaluate when I am feeling blah:
• Sleep
• Exercise
• Food
• Hydration
• Breathing
• Thoughts
• Plan for the day
• Mindfulness
• Meaningful activities

5 Love Languages

As Valentine’s Day approaches, love is in the air. What is the secret to love that lasts? According to Gary Chapman, it’s knowing your love language as well as your partner or spouse’s love language.
 
In today’s episode, I will explain the 5 Love languages related to couples in relationships from his book, The 5 Love Languages: The Secret To Love That Lasts.
The 5 Love Languages according to Gary Chapman are:
Words of Affirmation
Quality Time
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service
Physical Touch
Learning the right love language is key to helping your spouse or partner feel loved AND you will reap the benefits as you will also feel loved in return. The need to feel emotionally loved is universal. To feel loved is a primary human emotional need.
When your emotional love tank or bank account is full, you act differently. It is as important in a marriage to keep your love tank full as it is to keep your gas tank full of gas or having money in your bank account. It keeps you going.
So this Valentines Day, understand not only your primary love language but also your spouse or partner’s primary love language then act on what would fill their love tank or love account. If you do, your love tank or love account will be full. Your life will be positively transformed.

Moms Eat First--Book Summary

Moms Eat First by Kathy Sullivan is about Moms being aware of how often they put the needs of others ahead of their own, operating on autopilot, going through each day without prioritizing themselves and what is important to them.
She starts out the book with 20 life lessons she has learned over the years. All of which are very relatable. I myself have learned many of these over the years, some, multiple times.
Then she goes on to list 5 key principles to prioritize yourself and create the change in life you desire. The 5 key principles to prioritize yourself are:
Reflection is the key to self-preservation
Rediscovering possibilities is essential to feeding your soul
It is never too late to reset priorities based on what is important to you
Amid adversity you can reclaim power through choice
Peace prevails when you release what you can't control
With all these principles, the author provides a number of reflective questions and space for you to journal about them that will help you gain the clarity you need to recognize, proclaim and take action towards living the life you desire.
It is not merely a book of information, this book, Moms Eat First, is part workbook. It gives you the space to reflect, rediscover, reset, reclaim and release what doesn’t serve you and what will help you live the life you desire.

Great Minds vs. Small Minds

I recently read a quote attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” Socrates has a similar quote using strong, average and weak minds. This quote suggests that the quality of a person’s thinking is reflected in the type of topics they engage with.
In this episode, I’m going to share with you a few of my thoughts I had after reading this quote. I’m going to describe what I think it means and share some examples and visuals to go with them.
 
Small minds are similar to adolescent brains--immature, emotionally reactive, focused on others, criticize without action, and obsessed with social media.
Average minds are what most people have--focused on daily tasks and routines, engaged in superficial conversations, and have limited to no time for deeper reflection.
Great minds are leaders and visionaries--curious, lifelong learners, take action and risks, live to make a positive difference and impact on the world around them.
