Life is a journey, one meant to be enjoyed, but of course, not all parts of our journey are enjoyable. When we feel down on our luck, when we are hurting, or when things aren’t going our way, we find very little to enjoy. But don’t fret. That IS part of the journey, those moments are meant to help us, teach us about ourselves, and help us grow, build character and coping skills for the “next time”, oh and there will be a next time, for sure. The question I have for you is, how will you attack your situation? Are you ready to unleash your inner warrior and fight for your life, fight to enjoy it once again? Or do you struggle to find a peace and struggle to breathe when things get hard?
You aren’t alone when it comes to these struggles. We all have moments of weakness, moments that we want to give up or throw in the towel, but that’s not living, right? And that can’t be the end.
We need to persevere and rise up! You can do this, I know you can!
Even when you feel you have nothing left to give, you must learn to dig down deep and give it your all. After all, you are worth it!
I love this saying, it has truly been my realization after many years of surgeries and then amputation. As I look back I can see how everything I experienced over the years was building me up to handle what I’m going through today. And I also realized that “This too, shall pass” is an accurate description of life. This goes for the good times as well as the not so good times.
If you want to change, create better habits and drop bad habits then it’s time to get to work….TODAY! No better time than the present.
Let’s tackle life together. Let’s discover the warrior within ourselves and let her lose!
I’m with you, I believe in you, and I know you have what it takes to accomplish your wildest dreams.
Start NOW, don’t wait or postpone anymore.
You’ve got this! If you’ve listened to my podcast and can relate to what I said then you are ready to begin fresh. Go after your goals. Reach for the stars and don’t let anyone tell you that you “can’t”. I believe in you!
As Always,
Be Healthy,
Be Happy,
Be YOU!!!
Much love,
Angie

Now is the time. You deserve it and you probably need it, too. It’s time to slow down, breathe, and enjoy your life.
If you can spare 5-10 minutes each day to stop what’s on your schedule, slow yourself down, and put aside your to-do list you can reap the benefits. Set down your phone, eliminate distractions, and make time for YOU!
It’s not always easy to find the time, I get it, but start small and build on it.
I feel like I spend all day working on this thing or that. I don’t slow down, and my list grows and grows on what needs to be done. I find myself always on the next step while doing the previous task, telling myself that if I get X, Y, Z done then I will sit down and rest for a moment…. but you know those times never come, right? Can you relate?
What I HAVE figured out is that it takes time to work out the schedule that fits your life. I know people who have set their routines up and have told me to just do it “first thing in the morning”, like them. or at lunch break or right before bed, but the truth of the matter is, you need to figure out what works for you.
As a mom and wife, I have felt that even certain years in my life there was no time for me, and that’s unfortunate, because those moments when I was a new wife or a mommy to my babies, I probably needed “me” time more than ever. I guess that’s just part of the journey, better late than never.
I want you to know and learn to do this, spending time for yourself, earlier than I did, if you can. I want to help you make the most of your life, wherever you are at in it. There are so many benefits to slowing down and learning to breathe correctly, no matter how old you are, or what you are going through.
To my surprise this week, as I began taking my mornings to be still and outside in our Arizona sun, feeling the fresh air go deep in my lungs, quieting my thoughts, and shutting down my phone, my dogs let me know we had an unusual visitor. A large mule deer, a buck, was laying out in our backyard. He, too, was enjoying our warm sun. What a gift it was to watch him, photograph him and be present and enjoy his beauty. Any other day, I would have missed him, and that got me thinking. What else have I missed?
Well, no more! I plan to make a moment in my day, each day, all about disconnecting with my regularly scheduled programming, to connect with nature, breathe, silence my mind, and listen to the sounds of the world…. even if only for 5-10 minutes a day.
How about you? What do you have to lose? I challenge you to give it a try and see what benefits you see in your day to day thinking, emotions, and health.
This week I want you to figure out what works for you, make time for yourself, where can you afford to take a 5-10 minute break. I get it, it won’t be easy to find the time, but YOU A WORTH IT! Make it happen. Leave your phone off, stop all actions. Find a place where you won’t be tempted to do ANYTHING, a place, preferably outside. Even if it’s still wintery cold where you live, poke your head or body outside for 5 minutes and breathe slow, dep breathes. Feel the air enter your lungs and clear your head. If you struggle letting go of your thoughts then practice counting while you breathe in, hold, breathe out, hold. Count to 10, slowly, as you breathe in. Hold your breathe for 4 seconds then breathe out, slowly, as you count to ten again, then hold.
Do this for at least 5-10 minutes a day for the next week. See what happens from it. How do you feel afterward? How productive are you this week because of that time you spent on yourself?
You might be surprised at the results, even if you are just a bit happier, isn’t your mental well-being worth it? I think it is, and so are you!
Give it a try and let me know how it’s going.
Have an amazing week,
And as always,
Be Healthy,
Be Happy,
Be YOU!!
Much love,
Angie
