Why should we use mindfulness tips and techniques daily? If you think about it, our modern age can be overwhelming. We are online and available 24/7 with our smartphones. We stress about social media, our jobs, and our family life constantly. You may be reading this thinking, “I don’t have time to add mindfulness to my day.” Let me tell you though, if you’re thinking you’re too busy to add mindfulness into your life - YOU REALLY NEED IT! Mindfulness techniques can help stop attack thoughts. Attack thoughts are when you are living in your head - hashing over the past, re-living all the stupid mistakes you’ve made or re-living how others treated you badly. Attack thoughts serve no purpose in life. Yesterday is over. We only have this moment. So, attack thoughts need to go. And Mindfulness can help you with evicting those thoughts out of your brain. Mindfulness can help you make better decisions. Instead of overreacting to stress you can be calmer and more in control of yourself and the situation. Mindfulness can also help decrease the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity. Read the post here: Mindfulness Tips to Try Today  Let's connect!

After all this time working remotely for a lot of us, I thought we might need to brush up on our communicating skills.  Step 1: Use the other person’s name People love hearing their name. Using someone’s name helps you remember it and makes the other person feel more comfortable around you. When people hear their name they turn towards whoever is speaking to them. We are programmed since childhood to give attention to someone who is speaking our name. Tip: When meeting new people try to write their name down as soon as you can. Writing helps you remember the name, ensuring you won’t have an awkward situation where you call someone by the wrong name. --You can read the post and grab the cheat sheet here >>>  www.lovemoreliveblessed.com  Thank you for listening!

You playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so others won’t feel insecure around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.” ✨– Marianne Williamson SO STOP PLAYING SMALL. STOP SHRINKING.  START SHINING. ✨✨✨ I promise you someone needs to hear your story. Your story will encourage and inspire! You are a light to the world, share that and be proud about it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lovemoreliveblessed/support

Fall is my favorite season of the year and I have so many ideas for cozy self-care ideas. I was raised in Michigan and lived there until my early 20's. Each year I looked forward to the crisp, cool air, the crunchy leaves and the changing colors. Michigan has a beautiful fall season and self-care was as easy as taking a walk around the block. But, now I live in south Texas. There's not much of a Fall feeling over here. The mornings and days are hot. So, I have to create opportunities to feel the Fall season and today I'm sharing a Fall themed bucket list full of self-care ideas. I hope you'll take time for yourself this season and participate in as much self-care as you can. Follow along on Instagram and share what you're doing to get some cozy self-care in this season.
