7 Reminders to Overcoming Life's Challenges

The past couple weeks have been extremely challenging for me personally and professionally on my path to my career. The responsibilities of life can be overwhelming at times. However with great challenge comes great reward. All we can do is keep pushing forward with our dreams. Just keep reminding yourself of the following things. 

1. If you want something and are passionate about it; pursue it … wholeheartedly! While it may seem hard at times, it is proof you are getting closer. Nothing in life worth having is easily obtained. 
2. Be Brave, Be Strong because no one is going to stop you but yourself. 
3. Fall in love with the process and learn from the difficulties, as this is going to make you more appreciative when it is obtained. 
4. Take a step back, a moment to appreciate how far you have come. 
5. Remember why you started this journey.
6. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. You just haven’t reached it YET. 
7. Lastly never stop learning, growing and striving to be better. You can change your goals, add steps and alter you plan as much as you need to create a life of happiness. That is the ultimate goal after all, to be HAPPY. Whether you are happy through the hard times is your choice to make. Change your prospective and you can change your mood, moreover your life. 

Hoping to pass the flame to ignite your internal fire,

Cravings and Why Willpower is Not Enough!

Websters dictionary defines willpower as "energetic determination." Whenever I ask someone where willpower comes from they say something like "internal strength." It is the desire to control your impulses. It that internal drive that some of us seem to have more of than others. To me this is a not very well defined term yet it is that one thing that everyone wants and believes will move them forward in all of their goals. I need to find the "willpower," the "motivation;" like it will fall out of the air straight into your lap. The truth about willpower!  The truth is will power is considered by some researchers to be a limited and fast reduced resource. The term they use is "willpower depletion." Saying "no" takes a mental toll on you and that is where this "internal strength," comes from. Willpower is like a muscle that after continued use can reach this point of depletion where we give into our cravings or ...

My First Post!

Hello Everyone! I am excited and skeptical about writing this first post. Every time you start something new and unfamiliar it can cause uncertainty. Additionally if you know me personally, I am not the most technologically savvy. I have never had an interest in writing a blog; however my uncle began a blog and mentioned how much joy and fulfillment it brought him. Also, in my pursuit of my degree I have realized that I acquire interesting and inspiring knowledge every day that can help others. Through writing this, I hope to dispel some of my creative juices, express myself professionally and hopefully light a fire in you with some of the topics I chose to post about. Please take the time to follow my uncle’s blog at   http://adventuresofteacher-dad.com/ and I look forward to writing more.  Future Therapist

Getting Fit in 2014: Insanity is truly INSANE!

With the new year approaching, tons of people will make the goal to get fit in 2014. Being fit and healthy has been a year round goal for me and since the gyms will have an influx of membership in the next coming weeks I decided to begin Insanity . I have just completed my second week and I must say it is truly INSANE! I consider myself to be in good shape for women my age. Before, I worked out three times a week and had adequate nutrition. However, Insanity has definitely intensified my workouts. I am working out six days a week and following their nutrition plan of five small meals a day (for the most part). I altered my schedule and am training my body to wake up and work out before work. Personally if I waited to after work to conquer these challenging work outs, I would talk myself out of doing them. On top of Insanity I have continued my yoga practice, part of my exercise routine I can not live without. I have a...
