Happy Thanksgiving! I pray that you are having a wonderful day.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Whether family and friends surround you or not, remember that you are never alone; God is with you and for you. You can feel alone, even in a crowd. I know I have had that feeling so many times. If you feel down or a little low, I am sending lots of love and hugs to you on this holiday.
This Thanksgiving day began with rain in the early morning hours. As the sun came up, the rain went away, and the temperature slowly dropped throughout the day. It started in the upper 40s this morning but was in the low 30s by sunset. This is my favorite time of year. Christmas is in the air, and it is time to decorate for the season even though one of our trees is already up.
Dean Graziosi, one of my mentors and life coaches, sent me a quote the other day that I thought I would share in a video because it will make you think.
There’s so much to be thankful for, and don’t forget the little things because they can mean as much as the big things in your life.
God is for you, and Jesus Loves you!

Many people are trying to set healthy new year’s resolutions. “I will start working out more,” or “I will be more organized this year” or “I want to be less stressed” are not unique goals to set. However, it is essential to note that setting healthy new year resolutions can be difficult. It’s’ so important for you to try and plan them out so that you’re able to get prepared ahead of time and start them off on the right foot.
The New Year is a time to make resolutions. If you’re considering resolving for the next year, you might want to consider how it will impact your health and well-being. Planning your healthy new year resolutions now will help you avoid the adverse effects associated with over-indulgence at the start of the year.
Why it’s’ a Good Idea to Plan Your Healthy New Year’s Resolutions Ahead of Time. If you plan your healthy resolutions ahead of time, it becomes much easier to keep them. You can set goals to exercise more, eat healthier, meditate every day, and so on. It also stops that last-minute panic of trying to think of what you should set when you get to New Year’s Eve. If you struggle to think of what resolutions you should make for the New Year, then now is the time to get started.
What Sorts Of Things Should You Set As Resolutions If you have yet to set resolutions for the new year, now is an excellent time to think about your goals. A resolution is a commitment with a promise of improvement for yourself and your life. Some are based on personal issues or habits, with others being more general. You might not want to set resolutions that require you to be completely unfamiliar with the subject matter but instead focus on an area of your life where you can change it up and create something new.
This could be something to do with your finances, setting budgets, and earning more money. Or maybe you want to live healthier, try a new workout like the push-pull leg routine, and make sure you manage what you eat better. But it could be more personal things like traveling more, finding a new career, and looking for a new relationship. Overall, set personal goals that will make you feel more fulfilled and happy.
Choose What You Want To Achieve Some people make New Year’s Resolutions because they want to change their life for the better. Others make these resolutions because they want to get healthy and lose weight, get more exercise, or try a new diet. Whatever your intentions are for New Year’s Resolutions, it might be easier if you choose one goal at a time. This way, you know that what you achieve will help you achieve your other plans in the future.
Brainstorm Ideas For What It Will Take To Achieve It If you are turning over a new leaf in the next year, you need to think about what you’ll’ do to achieve them. To do this, you need to identify what it takes to achieve your resolutions. Then it helps to make a list of the skills that are important for reaching your goals. Check out the skills that can be learned in no time or quickly picked up and applied by you and others around you. Finally, begin planning how to make your resolutions come true.
Write Down The Steps You Need To Take We all want to make resolutions and achieve them in the new year. But how do you know the steps you need to take to make your resolutions come true?
Create an action plan before you start your year. If you are struggling with one particular resolution, create an action plan for that goal. It will help you stay motivated and measure your progress along the way.
The first step is developing a vision for what your life looks like once it’s achieved the desired result. Then, take time to brainstorm ideas of how each goal can be accomplished. Next, try different methods that may work well for achieving that goal – this includes talking to friends or family members about ideas they have or even trying out other websites or apps related to reaching your goals!
Create A Concrete Plan Of When & How You Need To Achieve Them When setting your goals, it’s essential to create a when and how you need to achieve them. This will help give yourself accountability and make sure that you are meeting deadlines. Three key questions should be asked when it comes to goal-setting: 1) What is the goal? 2) When do I want the goal achieved? 3) How do I want this goal achieved?
Setting timelines encourages you to make progress and stay on track. If you fail to attain your goal consistently, then you should change the timeline accordingly. It would help if you also gave yourself a break after a certain number of days or weeks. The trick with achieving goals is to set a plan. A concrete plan of when and how to achieve them can be a big motivator for staying on track.
Hold Yourself Accountable & Reward Yourself When You Achieve Them It is crucial to hold yourself accountable for your goals, but it isn’t easy when you don’t know how to do that. To help you take action and be responsible for your purposes, reward yourself when you accomplish them. You can pat yourself on the back by giving yourself an extra five minutes on the treadmill or by telling yourself how proud of you I am. It could even be buying yourself gifts. Just do what works best for you.
Start Planning Your Healthy New Year’s Resolution Today We all know that the new year is the time when we make resolutions for better health. However, changing our habits can be difficult. It’s essential to start planning well ahead of time to reduce the chances of failure. The key is to develop a plan that will help you stick with your goals and stick with them for as long as possible. We hope this article has helped you make a plan and stick with it successfully!
Postpartum care needs to be taken seriously both by new parents and by those around them post-birth. It is only natural for all the focus on the new baby, and many new parents will agree this is right. But neglecting postpartum care can lead to longer recovery times.
Everyone is different and will require different levels of support and care after giving birth, influenced by various factors such as general health, home situations, and the type of birth they experienced. With 1 in 7 new mothers thought to share postpartum mental health concerns in the first 12 months after giving birth, focusing on supporting new parents in this time is vital.
But what can you do for yourself to support your body and mind post-pregnancy?
Plan Ahead Being prepared for having a new baby at home before the baby arrives is a great way to take the pressure off everyone. From making meals up ready to heat and eat when you don’t know what it is to have an organization’s system for feeding and clothing and diaper changes ready to go can be a massive weight off your mind/ Not everything goes to plan, and that is perfectly ok but being prepared can give you a head start. So buy your baby equipment from Foryourlittleone and have it at home ready to wash and organize all baby clothing. Stock up on baby wipes, cleaning equipment, bibs, muslins, and any gadgets you need and have them ready to use.
Be Honest There is a somewhat idyllic picture that everything will be rosy and amazing after birth, and being a parent will come naturally. This isn’t true for everyone, and being realistic about how you might be finding things can open the doors for support from family and friends, and medical professionals. Needing help as a new parent isn’t something to be ashamed of but glossing over the hard things or making things harder for yourself won’t help you.
Don’t Push It Giving birth is a substantial physical trauma your body goes through, and it will naturally take time for your body to recover. From the aches and pain as your uterus shrinks back to size. The skill of getting those kegel exercises correctly and the initial sleep deprivation being a new parent all put a strain on your physical health.
Generally, when you suffer a trauma, you are expected to rest to allow your body to recuperate except after giving birth. Feel free to say no to visitors or attend engagements or events, even just a coffee date with a friend. Take as much rest as you can when you can (everyone knows that sleeping when the baby sleeps isn’t possible or practical).
Lastly, take help when offered. Even if for a short while. While no one expects you to let others take your new baby out for hours on end while you sleep, allowing loved ones to support you by taking care of chores or taking on a feed can give you added time to relax and rest and let your body recover from birth.
The holiday season is supposed to be the most beautiful time of the year. The holiday season is when homes, streets, and shops are decked out in holly and gorgeous lights. It helps in creating this very magical atmosphere. While everywhere you turn is beautiful, this season tends to be very stressful. People are getting sick far easier, the flu is spreading around, schedules are packed, and there’s this pressure to spend a lot of money. You don’t want to be a Grinch this time of year; you want to be a cheery elf. But your schedule is complete, you don’t feel great, and you’re just getting so stressed all around due to your schedule. Thankfully there are some ways to lower your stress, so you don’t feel so tense!
Commit to self-care
During this hectic time, we tend to neglect ourselves. This includes the significant aspects such as getting enough sleep or eating right, including the little things. It’s understandable, especially if there is so much pressure on you. You should not neglect your chronic uveitis treatments for your eyes, taking time to yourself, and even doing nothing at all if that’s what you want. Self-care has so many aspects, but it comes down to doing what you want for yourself that you know is best for yourself.
Identify your top priorities.
What’s something that should be a significant priority for you? Maybe it’s to look after your health this winter; perhaps you have a project to do, perhaps you’re just wanting to stay safe since 2021 is as crummy as 2020. You need to evaluate what your top priorities are and stick with them. There is no need to excuse or justify yourself. It’s so important to think of yourself and your health, safety, and general well-being.
Adjust your expectations
Don’t bother trying to live a picture-perfect life; honestly, that isn’t even possible. Sure, on Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms tend to buzz with many happy seasonal images and cute captions. But don’t get it into your head that everyone is living the perfect life. The holidays are known for being tiring and stressful, and it’s completely normal to feel this way. Don’t let social media get to you because there is a very high chance that these people think exactly as you do.
Don’t worry about others may feel about you.
During the holiday season, there may be a lot of expectations from others. This could be the expectation to get them a gift, go to a party, have dinner, go shopping, or essentially anything else. You’re not obligated to say yes, and don’t feel bad for declining any invitations. The expectation and pressure to say yes to everything are some of the reasons why the holiday season can be so tricky. There is this primary pressure to say yes to everything, but you don’t have to. Just think of your well-being and think about what you want to prioritize.
The weather is cool, and the leaves are finally changing in beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and red in my neck of the woods. I know we are thinking about Thanksgiving, but I wanted to talk about ways to remember what you are thankful for. I have been keeping a journal since I was in my early twenties. I decided to create a second journal of what I am grateful for. When you write down what you are thankful for, you can use it as a boost of energy when you need it or a pick-me-up when you are feeling not as strong. What you write down doesn’t have to be anything monumental. You could have found a parking space up close, had an excellent idea for a birthday gift, got the best seat in the restaurant, or finding some good deals at the mall. When I go back and read what I am thankful for, It gives me good vibe vibrations.
What are you grateful for? Think about it. We get so caught up in the day-to-day that we need to stop and look at the here and now.
