Monday Motivation

Feeling It
Michael Shinafelt

While heading into my last two weeks of wearing a cast to recover from surgery I began pondering my life overall and you know what? It's been a good one. "Yes" rather than focus on the fact that I have lost some of the shape I worked so hard for, I chose to focus on the fact that I really haven't lost that much. (it's true, it didn't  go down as badly as I thought it would) -

Thus today's Monday Motivation is Gratitude. Gratitude comes when you meditate and clear your mind of all the BS that doesn't matter. It takes a strong person with a lot of will power to do this because in a Social Media age everything is pretty under a microscope and most things are magnified to hold more weight than they actually do.

So while in a calm state I made a check list of things I am grateful for, Gratitude. What are those thing? None of your business 😇 Trust Me the process is one that should be practiced everyday to achieve the outcome one wants of it. That would be to be a happier person so you can attract what you want in your life and shut down the rest of it.

Just do it! When you tend to your own well being it reflects to the universe and gets magnified back at you. Would I lie to you? No way...!!!

PS  Some additional wisdom, beware of petty narcissist, they are insidious 😲

Hump Day Inspiration: Amy Schumer

Don't Funk With Me!
Amy Schumer

Yeah this week has been a tough one, for me at least. Maybe not all of you, but I bet three quarters of you feel the way I do.

It's times like these great heaven knows, that I wished we had? Some wisdom perhaps? Levity? How about both?!

Here are ten great quotes from one Ms. Amy Schumer to get you over the mid-week blahs!

1)  “I’m probably like 160 pounds right now and can catch a dick whenever I want.” 

2) “I get labeled a sex comic. But if a guy got up onstage and pulled his dick out, everybody would say: ‘He's a thinker.’”

3) "That’s the Hollywood secret: Don’t put food in your dumb mouth!"

4) “Make sure he knows that you’re entitled to an orgasm. I like to say it. I’ll be like, ‘Hey, there are two people here.’ I’ll be like, ‘Oh my God, have you met my clit?’”

5) “We have to be a role model for these little girls, because who do they have? All they have really is the Kardashians ... And like, we used to have Khloé. Khloé was ours, right? Whenever there’s a group of women, you identify with one of them … Khloé, she lost half her body weight. She lost a Kendall! We have nothing. I want good role models.”

6) “The other day I was having some wine and some weed and an Ambien. Or, as I like to call it, ‘Tucking myself in.'”

7) “Beautiful, gross, strong, thin, fat, pretty, ugly, sexy, disgusting, flawless, woman. Thank you Annie Leibovitz!”

8) "I'm, like, newly famous, and it turns out it's not fun. Did you guys know that?"

9) “Just as good as the male comics: We put on our pants one leg at a time, just like them. And then we bleed in those pants."

10) “Please, please, take some photos. Isn’t that salad great? I’m wearing the shortest dress, you’re probably getting a photo of my clitoris right now.”

Thank You Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato

Normally I do not do posts based on people's Tweets, however this is an awesome message that comes from a young woman who has been there done that.

While I can not name one Demi Lovato song or tell you what else she has done other than X Factor I do know who she is and am very aware of her past struggles, isn't the media grand that way?

Demi tweeted: "Sometimes I look back and wish I would've realized I never had to drink or use to have fun.. I laugh more sober than I ever did wasted." 

She recently told Seventeen magazine: "Since I went to treatment, there have been days when it's felt really easy, and I've felt great about where I am. But then I have moments when it's not. That's life. You can't just take your mind and your body into the shop and get it fixed. It doesn't come out repaired. It's not like a car. It takes time - pace yourself. Every day is a new opportunity to change your life and be who you want to be."

Thanks Demi for your courage and wisdom, I hope our paths cross one day.

Keep pace with Demi: http://demilovato.com/
