This little babble was supposed to be published 3 weeks ago!  It was all recorded and ready to go just waiting to be edited and well, life happened. 

I'm back though with another entry from my You Are A Bad Ass Desk Calendar by Jen Sincero and it's one strong message!

It's all about how we can make ourselves think whatever we want.  How easy it is to change our life by changing our thoughts.  I could have used this little reminder this past week as I had a rough one.  As I was listening to this episode while I edited it, I realized how much I needed this reminder too and what a wonderful reset it was for me.  I hope it is for you as well.

Step away from negativity.  Start listing all the good going on in you life.  There is always something.  Then regroup.  Start thinking the new positive thoughts over the negative.  It can be challenging but keep busting yourself.  Keep practicing.  

Taking care of your Mindset is self-care.  It's the single most important thing to practice!  

Enjoy!

Oh and hey, check out my latest blog post on the positivebabble.com website.  You know I love to keep in touch so feel free to email me jen@positivebabble or reach out via DM on IG or Facebook @positivebabble.

Have the most amazing week!

Aloha!

Emotions play an important role in our lives.  While this podcast was created to be a reminder of all the positive we have surrounding us, emotions play an important role and should not be ignored.

Our emotions are our guide to things going on inside us that need to be seen and heard.  It is, in my opinion, important to feel our feelings.  Deal with the emotions coming up in order to move forward and live a healthy balanced life.  Sure you can ignore them, in fact we have generations of people who did and still do.  But they will wait for us if we keep putting them back on the shelf.  They don't go away and if left unattended can be bad for our whole body.  

Emotions can get stuck in our bodies creating dis-ease.  While I know it's not always easy to really look at how we are feeling, in order to keep our whole being healthy it is a MUST.

This week I share a little bit about my choice to be substance and alcohol free because I wanted to be more in tune with my feelings and emotions.  I share a few things I do to move through things when I have unpleasant thoughts or feelings visiting me.  

Stay Tuned for part 2 because I will be coming back, I hope next week with some more tips on how to process emotions.

Remember, we are all human.  Having feelings of sadness, despair, frustration and anger (just to name a few) are all okay.  You are okay.  It may be uncomfortable for a time, but remember you do not have to stay stuck in those feelings.  It's vital to feel them maybe explore them with a curiosity as more of an observer in order to move through them.  

Whatever way you choose to do it.  Make sure you take care of yourself after you process an emotion.  I'll touch on that as well in Part 2.

If you want to share how you work through your emotions, please DM me on Facebook or Instagram @PositiveBabble or email me at jen@positivebabble.com

Have an amazing week.

This short and sweet Positive Babble is inspired by an entry from my favorite little book The Daily Book of Positive Quotations by Linda Picone.  

I haven't been into this book in a few months and was thrilled to see today's entry was just perfect for a little reminder to us that we are never to old to try new things, start that new job, start that business, anything we want in life.  

We've all fallen prey to the thought I'm to old to.... Insert want here!  But we aren't to old.  It's never to late.  Get your ass in gear and set out to try that thing you've always wanted to.  

I read something this week that said you will only be new at something once.  Once you do it, it gets easier each time and that is so so true!  Let's not limit ourselves.  Let's push past the fear of not knowing and try!  

I mention how I'm going to try and record all in one take, no editing.  Let me give you a piece of advice.  Never say that on the recording because then you mess up!  Like I did.  Haha.  Listen through all the way to the end to hear my faux pax.  Oh and yeah there is a little cussing involved.  FYI.  :)

Don't forget to check out my website www.positivebabble.com.  I would love to hear your ideas or comments about the show DM me on Facebook or Instagram @PositiveBabble.  You can always shoot me an email

Have an amazing week!

Aloha Good Morning my fellow Positive Babblers!  

Oh Yes it is Monday and a beautiful day at that.  I share in this episode a brief rundown on how my Mindful in May efforts went.  Well they went!  Was I perfect, no.  And that's okay!  I'm so happy with the effort that was made and it brought me back to the present more times than I can count.  

Keep being mindful and aware whether it's through Meditation each day or every other day or just waking up when you realize you're on autopilot.  All we have is NOW!  Let's live in it!

Taking time for yourself is, to me, a key component to living your best life.  Today I took myself to a Yoga class this morning, which I usually don't due to it being Monday.  Mondays are so busy, so much work to be done, I took the weekend off, excuse, excuse, excuse.  I kindly reminded myself of the hours on social media I spent for work this weekend.  The logging in and checking emails and going to the UPS Store all for work, so what's an hour and a half out of my Monday morning?  It's nothing.  It's a trade off worth making and whether or not I worked some this weekend, I deserve to take the time I need.  And so do you! 

Now I'm jazzed and ready to rock this day out!  Oh YEAH!

Treat yourself with loving kindness.  You deserve to love yourself in all your amazing glory!  Take the time you need today and everyday even if just a few minutes.  Find what brings you joy and fit that in your day!  It will shift you mind, body and spirit in the best possible way!

Love you all!

Aloha lovely Positive Babblers!

It's Memorial Day in the U.S. and on this fine  Day, I hope you remember that we have SOOO much to be grateful for.  So much going right in our lives.  Let's take notice today of all days and never forget the sacrifice of those who have made our freedoms possible!  Thank you to all who have served and who continue to serve!

I share yet another fantastic entry from my YOU are a BADASS desk Calendar by Jen Sincero!  Man this woman is on fire with these entries.  

Focus on GIVING!  Giving your money to the establishments that you buy things from.  Giving your thanks to the employees that help you.  Giving them a smile and your thanks can make their whole day.  Giving thanks because we have the money, the physical ability and the car to get us there!  Talk about so much to be grateful for!

I go into my own process of gratitude around paying my bills.  I've done this for YEARS!!  I always think out loud how much I LOVE to pay my bills!  Because I CAN!

This also reminded me to  flip the "I need to", and the "I have to" to the I GET TO!  

It will take practice, but if you do this with everything think of how your energy will shift.

Have an amazing week!!!  

This topic, reliving the past, the not so good parts, was something I journaled about recently.  

That thing that happened to us or that bad decision we made keeps coming back to haunt us.  Why?  Because we allow it to...  Now, don't get me wrong, moving past things that we regret or that were traumatizing for us is no easy feat.

Think about this though, what happens when you relive past unhappy moments?  You relive it!  Your whole body goes through it all AGAIN.  Meaning you are affecting your emotional and physical health AGAIN.  Remember your brain doesn't know the difference between what is real and what is imagined.  

I bet you can think of a time when you were reliving an unpleasant moment how funky you felt.  How you tightened up, felt irritated, angry and unsettled.  You allowed something you can't change to affect you in the present moment, stealing your peace!

We've all done it and let's be honest we will probably do it again.  So, what can we do to interject and stop ourselves before we go down the rabbit hole?

Say STOP (when you become aware your spiraling or starting to spiral) use your name!  Look in the mirror when you do this if you can!

Then, once you do that take a deep breath.

Then say, you are okay, you are safe.

Start saying to yourself, You survived!   Look how far you've come!   You can do better going forward and make better choices starting NOW!!

Then think of all the things going right in your life right now.  It doesn't matter how long the list is just make the list and repeat it in your mind or write it down, but turn your focuse to what is going right in your life.

This is just a quick way for you to stop yourself from allowing the past to come back and bite you!

That is all for today my friends.  Let me know what you think about this process and if you try it out, let me know how it went.  DM me on Facebook or Instagram @PositiveBabble or email me at jen@positivebabble.com

Make it a great week! 

Aloha my fellow Positive Babblers!

I hope you had an amazing week and weekend!  Now it's time to tackle Monday and I have just the thing you need to hear!

I found another fantastic entry on my You Are A Bad Ass Desk Calendar by Jen Sincero and it was a MUST share!

There is only one YOU.  There will never be another you.  Your gifts, love and light shine like no other that has come before you or that will come after you.  

Celebrate your wonderful self!  Your uniqueness, Your one of a kindness! Get it!  Kindess!  :)

Seriously though!  Don't forget how special it is to be YOU!  

Would love to hear how things in your world are going.  DM me on Facebook or Instagram @PositiveBabble.  Or just follow me for amazing Maui Sunset Photos and scenery  :)  

You can also shoot me an email at jen@positivebabble.com with ideas for the show!  All are welcome!  

Guess what?  I'm thinking about starting a weekly Newsletter...  Still in the planning phases but will keep you posted.

Have an amazing Week!

Aloha and Mahalo!! 

I start this funny and so true episode off with an update on how my first week of meditation went.  

Attempting to be more mindful this May by doing at least 10 minutes of meditation per day has proven challenging, but worth it.  I share my ups and downs and the changes I've already noticed.

Your Brain is Your Bitch!!  No truer words have ever been spoken.

The thoughts we think create our reality.  We can create a dream life or a version of a living hell just with our thinking.  

It's solely up to us where we allow our thoughts to go.  What we think about we bring about.

I share this excellent entry of the same title from my You Are a Bad Ass desk Calendar by Jen Sincero.  Her thoughts on this are just perfect!

If you aren't doing it already, make your brain your bitch.  Take the reigns on how and what you are thinking.  Remember YOU are the creator of your reality, not your runaway thoughts.

I loved this entry and this episode as it's exactly what I want this podcast to help you remember.  Train your brain!!  Mindset matters the most!  We CAN create the life we want!  

As always, would love to know how you stay mindful and how you keep your thoughts on track to create and live a life you love!

Have an amazing week!!
