  • .⠀ ‘BE MESSY AND COMPLICATED AND AFRAID AND SHOW UP ANYWAYS.’ —Glennon Doyle⠀ .⠀ 👆🏻THIS!⠀ .⠀ Also, if you haven’t read every single book, post, and quote by @glennondoyle what are you waiting for?!
  • .⠀ ‘YOUR MIND IS A POWERFUL THING. WHEN YOU FILL IT WITH POSITIVE THOUGHTS, YOUR LIFE WILL START TO CHANGE.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ Have you ever had one of those weeks where everything you touch turns to sh*t? Last week was that week for me! No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t manage to keep my head above water. I felt like I was drowning in motherhood, laundry, grocery shopping, meal prep, and work deliverables, and by Thursday morning I’d officially reached my saturation point.⠀ .⠀ But instead of throwing myself on the floor and having a full-blown temper tantrum like I wanted to, I went for a walk and only allowed myself to think about all of the GOOD things in my life.⠀ .⠀ It was a bad week, not a bad life!⠀ .⠀ Rachel Hollis once said, ‘You, and only you, are ultimately responsible for who you become and how happy you are’, and if you’re struggling like I was last week, I hope these words remind you to change your mindset.⠀ .⠀ Look for your blessings - they’re always there, even if you have to dig a little deeper to find them some days! 💙
  • ⠀ HOCUS, POCUS, I NEED COFFEE TO FOCUS... ☕️

  • .⠀ ‘THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT JUDGE YOU ARE THOSE WHO ARE INSECURE ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE.’ —Rachel Hollis⠀ .⠀ 👆🏻Don’t ever forget this!
  • .⠀ ‘YOUR LIFE DOES NOT GET BETTER BY CHANCE, IT GETS BETTER BY CHANGE.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ Are you a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty kind of person? I used to be the latter, but I’m fortunate to have married someone who was taught to focus on the positives instead of the negatives. My husband is one of the most positive people I know, and over the last 13+ years, he has helped me see the world through a completely different lens. He has taught me so much about love, life, and happiness, and for that, I will be forever grateful!⠀ .⠀ Positivity is not something that comes naturally to me, but every morning I write the words, ‘I’m a VERY positive person’ in my #starttodayjournal as a reminder of the kind of person I want to be, and the way I want to show up for my life, my husband, and - most importantly - my daughter. ⠀ .⠀ Zahid Abas once said, ‘The only thing in life you have control over is your attitude’, and while I’m not sure I’ll ever truly be a glass-half-full kind of person like my husband is, I can tell you with certainty that life is so much better when you seek out the good stuff instead of getting bogged down by the bad.⠀ .⠀ Happy Monday my beautiful friends!⠀ .⠀ And if you haven’t bought your own @thestarttodaybrand Start Today Journal, what are you waiting for?
