Vision Your Intentions

If you find yourself at a standstill in life and yearn for transformation, take a moment to proclaim to the universe your readiness for change.

In most of our lives, a pivotal moment arrives when we sense a profound readiness for a transformative change. This change may involve leaving a home, ending a relationship, quitting a job, or departing from a town that has long felt unfulfilling. However, despite this inner longing, we often find ourselves unable to actively shift our circumstances in the direction we desire.

Amidst life’s challenges, declaring our readiness for change can be life-changing. Envision it as confiding in a supportive friend, seeking their assistance in transitioning to a higher level of existence. When the timing aligns, the universe reciprocates by presenting opportunities and resources tailored to facilitate the desired change.

To initiate the manifestation process, it’s crucial to establish clear intentions. Specificity is vital when seeking assistance, as it enables others to offer more targeted support. Similarly, the universe responds more effectively to direct and unambiguous communications rather than vague desires.

Practical Manifestation Techniques

  • Step one: Think. Positive thinking. Address any habitual mental patterns that you engage in that paint the opposite reality to which you want to attract. …
  • Step two: Feel. Gratitude rituals. The vibration of receiving is the emotion of gratitude. …
  • Step three: Believe. Visualization exercises.

________________________________________

When you’ve established your desires, express them clearly. Record your declaration on paper and place it on your altar if you have one. If not, put it under your pillow or in a box by your bedside. Set aside a specific time each day for silent reflection on your desire for change. Repeat your declaration like a mantra. This signals to the universe that you’re ready for transformation and open to its assistance.

Continue to refine and redefine your statement of purpose, keeping an open mind to the various ways in which your desired change can come to fruition. Remember to actively pursue your goals, seize opportunities, watch for signs, and take ownership of your intentions.

When things don’t unfold promptly, resist discouragement. Consider the possibility that releasing blocked energy might take time or serve a purpose beyond our comprehension. By maintaining a clear and open dialogue with the universe, you’ll naturally witness the transformative magic of change, both within yourself and in your surroundings.

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl

♪ On A Personal Note ♫

Throughout my life, I have discovered that visualization plays a pivotal role in my daily routine. Despite my hectic schedule, I make a conscious effort to engage in the visualization process. This practice grants me clarity and focus regarding my goals and aspirations. Visualization is a powerful tool in setting intentions because it allows you to see, feel, and mentally experience the reality of your goal before it physically manifests. By creating a vivid mental image of your desired outcome, you strengthen your commitment and establish a clear direction for your actions. This process aligns your thoughts and emotions with the energy needed to bring your goal to life, acting as a catalyst for motivation and resilience when challenges arise. Visualization not only clarifies what you truly want but also primes your subconscious mind to recognize opportunities, enabling you to take steps that bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. Enjoy!

Motivational Mondays

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s easy to get caught up in the grind and lose sight of our goals and aspirations. That’s why I’m bringing back Motivational Mondays—not just for my readers but mostly for myself.

Mondays can be tough. They often come with a sense of dread, as we contemplate the long week ahead. But I believe that a positive mindset can make all the difference. By starting the week with a dose of motivation, I hope to set the tone for a productive and fulfilling week.

Each Motivational Monday, I’ll share a quote, a story, or a personal reflection that has inspired me. I’ll also include a call to action, challenging my readers to take small steps towards their goals. It’s not about perfection or instant gratification. It’s about building momentum and creating positive habits that will lead to lasting change.

I know that motivation is not always easy to come by. But I believe that by surrounding ourselves with positivity and taking action, we can create a virtuous cycle that will help us achieve our dreams.

So, let’s make every Monday a Motivational Monday. Let’s start the week with a positive mindset and a commitment to growth. Together, we can make this week our best yet.

When the Coach – Coaches herself . . . . Watch out!

Hit Pause . . .

At Times Hit Pause

When there’s a break in the action, folks wonder what they’re doing with their lives.

You know that feeling when you’ve just crushed it, and everything is going your way? It’s like you can’t be stopped. But then, out of nowhere, you hit a wall. You’re still trying to figure out what to do next, and you start to question everything. Well, that’s just the transition period, my friend. It’s a time to reflect on what you’ve accomplished and figure out what’s next.

So, you’re feeling a little stuck and unmotivated, huh? That’s normal. We all go through phases like this from time to time. We’re humans, after all, and we’re meant to be doing stuff. But here’s the thing: there’s nothing wrong with just chilling for a bit. Take a day, a week, or even a month to just BE. Don’t do anything, just relax and let your mind wander. Before you know it, you’ll be ready to jump back into the action.

When you’re in a lull with no clear next step, life can feel like a big, empty void. It’s easy to want to sprint straight to the next thing but when you’re not sure what that is, it’s like your brain hits a brick wall and you just feel frustrated and lost. It’s easy to start thinking you’re stuck in a rut. But here’s the thing, if you’re focused on growing as a person, you’re always making progress, even if you’re not actively working on a specific goal.

This break can be a real eye-opener, giving you time to reflect on what’s happened lately and decide what you want next. Just by hanging out and doing your thing- YOU DO YOU – you can reconnect with what matters most in an organic way.

The whole “mindful transitional pause” thing can look different for everyone. Some people use it to think about how their life has gone so far, while others use it to adjust to new values after a big change. Just because you’re not speeding towards a finish line doesn’t mean you’ve lost your mojo. The time between trips can be a chill zone that sets you up for whatever’s coming next.

♪ ♫ Let’s Get Physical ♪ ♫

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Getting fit is a never-ending process, not just a quick fix. The real joy comes from all the cool stuff you learn and experience while you’re on the journey.

When it comes to fitness, we often focus too much on specific goals, like achieving a certain body type, hitting a certain weight, or running a marathon. We get so fixated on the destination that we forget to enjoy the journey.

This mindset can mess with our heads and lead us to push ourselves too hard, get impatient, and doubt ourselves. We become so obsessed with the goals that we forget to enjoy the process. It can eventually lead to burnout or even worse, getting hurt.

Getting fit is not just about reaching a goal, it’s about the cool stuff you learn and feel along the way. Whether you’re into running, lifting weights, or just doing some yoga, it’s all about being in the moment and enjoying the ride.

You know that feeling when you’re exercising and it’s like your whole body is waking up? That’s because it totally is! When you move your body, it’s like opening a magic portal to your inner self. Suddenly, you feel energized, strong, and confident. It’s like your mind and body are working together like BFFs. So whether you’re dancing like a queen, swimming like a fish, running like the wind, walking like a boss, biking like a pro, or stretching like a yogi, keep moving and let your body work its magic!

Fitness goals are helpful to have — we all want to feel healthy, strong, and able. Goals give us motivation to keep going, and to see what we’re capable of. But also remember to listen to your body, honor its limits, and embrace the process of progress rather than perfection.—–

Hey you, fitness enthusiasts! Having fitness goals is totally cool — we all want to feel healthy, strong, and capable, and look good right? Goals give us that extra push to keep going and discover what we truly can. But here’s the thing: listening to your body is also important. Don’t push yourself too hard — respect its limits. It’s all about making progress and enjoying the journey, not aiming for perfection. So go ahead, embrace the process, and make it fun!

Life’s full of tiny wins! Celebrate every step forward, every time you feel stronger, and all the good stuff from just getting up and moving.

When you think about your fitness journey, ask yourself what kind of exercises do you dig? Maybe stick with what you know and love, or try something fresh. And don’t forget to set a goal and an intention to make it more meaningful.

So, you might have a goal like, “I wanna work out to get healthier, feel stronger, and love my body more.” Or maybe it’s, “I wanna have fun moving and let my body do its thing.” Whatever you want to achieve, your intention can really help you get there. And don’t forget to give yourself a pat on the back along the way! Taking care of your health is no small feat, so take a moment to appreciate all the progress you’re making.

Make It a Happy Monday ♥

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Achieving ANY life goal requires 3 things:

  1. Desire: what do you really want?
  2. Drive: Why do you want it?
  3. Do: What do you need to do?

These 3 questions MUST be answered if you want to get over the barriers that hold you back from achieving your goals. There are no easy paths to the things you want the most – just like you never get a rainbow after a sunny day.

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl

Join The Journal Movement . . .

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Journaling can be a powerful tool for decluttering your home. 

Here’s how it can help:

  • Setting Clear Goals: Before you start decluttering, it’s essential to set clear goals. Journaling allows you to articulate what you want to achieve. Write down specific objectives like “Clear out the bedroom closet” or “Organize the kitchen cabinets.” This clarity will give you a roadmap to follow.
  • Creating a Plan: Once you’ve set your goals, create a plan of action. Write down the steps you need to take to achieve each goal. For instance, if you’re decluttering the bedroom, your plan might include tasks like “Sort through clothes,” “Donate or discard unused items,” and “Organize remaining items.”
  • Tracking Progress: Use your journal to track your progress. List the tasks you complete and mark them off as you go. This visual representation of your progress can be incredibly motivating.
  • Reflecting on Sentimental Items: Often, decluttering involves making intentional decisions about sentimental items. Journaling can provide a space for you to reflect on the emotional attachment to these items. Ask yourself why they are important and if they still serve a purpose in your life.
  • Recording Insights and Lessons: As you go through the decluttering process, you’re likely to gain insights about your belongings and your attachment to them. These insights can be valuable in preventing future clutter. Write down any lessons you learn, such as “I tend to accumulate too many clothes” or “I should be more mindful of what I bring into my home.”
  • Identifying Problem Areas: Use your journal to identify specific areas in your home that tend to accumulate clutter. It could be a certain drawer, closet, or room. By recognizing these problem areas, you can focus your efforts on them.
  • Noting Strategies That Work: As you declutter, you’ll likely discover strategies that are particularly effective for you. Maybe you find that categorizing items before organizing them works well, or perhaps setting a timer helps you stay focused. Write down these strategies so you can use them in future decluttering efforts.
  • Addressing Emotional Attachments: Clutter often has emotional attachments. Journaling provides a safe space to explore these emotions. Write about why certain items are hard to let go of and consider whether those emotions are valid or if they’re holding you back.
  • Celebrating Achievements: Celebrate your successes in your journal. Record how you feel after each decluttering session. Acknowledging your accomplishments can boost your motivation to continue.
  • Planning for Maintenance: Decluttering is an ongoing process. Use your journal to plan how you’ll maintain a clutter-free environment. Set regular intervals for reviewing and tidying up your spaces.

Hey, fellow Journalers, remember that journaling is a personal thing, so feel free to do it however you want. Whether you prefer to write with a pen and paper or use a computer or phone, the important thing is that you use journaling as a tool to help you declutter.

When journaling, it’s important to be real with yourself and write about whatever’s on your mind. You might want to write about your thoughts, feelings, experiences, or goals. You can also use journaling to brainstorm ideas, plan for the future, or just relax and de-stress.

Keeping a HOME JOURNAL: I’ve been journaling since I was twelve. My family was military, so we moved every two years. I would journal about the base apartments, townhouses, or homes we lived in so I could remember what we called “home.” As I got older and lived in my own apartments, condos, or mobile homes, I would journal about those spaces too.

I used to live in a tiny little mobile home where the sunlight would stream through my bedroom window every morning. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. It was like Mother Nature was saying, “Good morning!” every day. I’ve never seen anything like it since.

Once you get started, you may find that journaling becomes a regular part of your routine. It can be a great way to connect with yourself and improve your mental health.
