Manifest Mondays
Oct 17th
Monday is the most dreaded day of the week. But what if we could change that? What if we didn’t dread Mondays?
And if Mondays aren’t bad for you, or they’re just another day of the week, doesn’t the possibility of making even just one day of the week better sound great?
I want to help you with your Mondays. I know it’s Tuesday. But it’s technically the first day of the work week this week; hope you had a great labor day weekend.
Our goal here is happiness. And to achieve happiness you have to manifest it and one way to do that is to manifest things that nourish happiness. Thus: manifest Mondays.
Manifest Mondays are days (preferably Mondays) in which you do as much work as you can. Now, don’t get too crazy and stay up all night or anything, but seriously, just do work. Get in the zone however you get in the zone, and do work.
What’s the point? Why not spread it out? And didn’t you just say I would like Mondays?
Yes, you will love Mondays. The point is that if you accomplish enough on the first day of the week you will expect the same or more the rest of the week.
If you accomplish say 60 percent of what you needed to do, how would you feel? Imagine 100 percent (I know, I know). How amazing would you feel? Wouldn’t you wake up feeling great over and over again until that next Monday? Wouldn’t you want more and more of it?
Say you did a lot of work on Monday. Would you wake up Tuesday through Sunday with a lazy mentality? Or would accomplishing so much in one day push you more towards being driven and motivated to seize the day?
And maybe you do just want to be lazy, being lazy is best done when there’s nothing else on your mind! And Manifest Mondays can help make that happen.
Ahhh…. Now you’re getting it.
So first: You clear up the week. More time for you, more time for the family, more time for friends.
Secondly: You start off the week in achievement. This leads you to crave and desire accomplishment, only inspiring and motivating you to pursue more.
Third: You start off the week feeling great. Attacking your fears (work being one of them) may completely suck at first, but it’s one of the best feelings experienced when you’re done.
Lastly: You can focus on what you really want to focus on. Now, this could go back to the first point (family, friends) or it could go back to an idea you have, a business you have, etc…
Some of you aren’t monetizing your passion, and I feel really bad for you. Not that I’m on some high horse, it’s just that I know how it feels to make money doing what you love, and I want that for you. If you have more time in the week, you can do that. And eventually… eventually… you could make your passion your primary source of income. How good does that sound?
Obviously there are more benefits to doing this, but those are three I like best. You’ll never know the other benefits if you don’t try.
This is your opportunity to manifest your happiness. Based on all the reading and studying I’ve done on some of the most successful people in the world, I can say that attacking your fears and being persistent and dedicated in work are a couple of the most practiced habits of those who changed our world. You don’t have to change the world, but don’t you want to at-least change your life?
Start today (oh the irony). Grab a cup of coffee (singular), put on some music you like; do whatever you need to do to get in the zone, and do some work.
It’s time to start LIVING!

5 Ways to Keep a Positive Self Esteem
Oct 1st
Do you have low self-esteem? If you do you’re missing an important ingredient needed in the recipe to living a healthy life! Having low self-esteem makes it harder to reach your full potential. How? It’s because of the power of your thoughts.
You remember the Little Engine that Could? And do you remember what he said? “I think I can, I think I can.” And guess what, he did! Unfortunately, many of us don’t feel that way about ourselves. Instead of thinking we can, we think we cannot. Whenever we have a goal that seems almost impossible to reach we let the negative mentality take over.
Let’s be honest, all of us have negative feelings occasionally. But we can’t let them take over; in the end we must have positive thoughts to succeed.
The Ingredients of a Positive Self-Esteem Guide
Attaining self-esteem seems hard but it’s not. All you have to do is make a few small changes. Creating a healthy self-esteem does not have to be difficult. Small changes can be quite beneficial too.
Utilize these tips to help you build-up your self-esteem:
1. Don’t listen to negativity.
Many people just have a pattern of putting other people down. We tell ourselves not to listen to them, but of course in the end, we do. This negativity is hurtful from anyone but especially from the people you love. Sometimes people will try to lead you down the wrong path because they think they know what’s best for you. At the end of the day, only you know. You can’t let anyone deter you.
2. Embrace compliments from others.
When people give you compliments don’t think they’re lying because of an ulterior motive. More than likely the person giving the compliment is being sincere. There aren’t many people that?give false compliments. People will not go out of their way to lie to you in an attempt to be nice. If you can learn how to accept compliments, you may learn things about yourself that are quite positive. This will help you build your self-confidence.
3. Find a life coach.
Their sole purpose is to help you get the most out of life. Many people have been helped by them so don’t be embarrassed. After all, their careers are built on helping others. If a coach just isn’t an option for you, there are several, self-help guides you can purchase through your local bookstore or online.
4. Use affirmations.
These can really help boost your self-esteem. They allow you to focus on what you can achieve. These statements can be used to bring some positivism at any moment. You can choose your own affirmations. That way your true feelings are expressed
5. Do not compare yourself to others.
When looking at others it is hard not to compare yourself to them. You just have to keep in mind that everyone is different. We each have are own set of weaknesses and strengths. Try to focus on adding to your own strengths.
