On Letting People Dilute or Poison Your Day with Negativity


It's hard sometimes to block out the negative noise around us. Too often I catch myself letting the not-so-nice people in my life consume my thoughts, and it gets me down. The truth is, I can't be responsible for how other's behave, or the negative path they've chosen. I can only be me, and continue to block out the negative noise and choose to live a grateful and positive life.



Stop allowing other people to dilute or poison your day with their words or opinions. Stand strong in the truth of your beauty and journey through your day without attachment to the validation of others.

{Health & Fitness} Jillian Michaels on Bringing You Best

It's tough starting a new blog. You think it's going to be about one thing, and then it starts morphing into something else. But that's OK. I've realized over the years that I can't be committed to one topic or niche. I thrive when I am able to be random. So today, in a little act of randomness that doesn't really fit this blog (but may in the future) I'm going to send us all some fitness and health inspiration from my favourite trainer, Jillian Michaels. Who or what motivates you to stay healthy?

Law of Attraction Rules: Feeling is Believing

The Law of Attraction says that if you really feel and believe in something, it will manifest. If you really feel and believe that something is rightfully yours - the universe will help you receive it. A parking space near the entrance at the mall, a free coffee, a sale on those really expensive shoes, a new job - the universe is open and just waiting to help us achieve all the things we want. 

My Equality Isn't Up for Debate. Is Yours?

I used to be easily influenced by people and would get really upset if I thought someone didn't like me. But now that I'm older, I realize that you can't please everyone. What really matters is how we feel about ourselves, we can't let others determine our self worth. That's why I love this quote. I'm older. I'm wiser. And if someone doesn't like me for who I am then so be it. I know that my heart is pure and I'm living my authentic truth. That's all that matters. It took a long time to get here - like 30+ years - but I'm so happy that I'm now brave enough to stand up and be an advocate for myself. So remember this quote and repeat after me: When I encounter people who try to make me feel lesser than equal, I don't argue. My quality is not up for debate, it is an implicit truth.
