How to surround yourself with positive people and/or things!

       So how do you start? How do you start attracting people that are positive or just like you?

I know this is going to sound super cliché, but it honestly starts with you! You have to change yourself before you start attracting these grand people or things. I have found that life is a parallel. What you see in the mirror is what will reflect in your life. Until I truly understood that, I can say I was just going through the motions of life.

So before I list some tips, I want to leave with one thing; You have to want to create a positive environment for yourself. You do. It's just that simple. If you are half way-ing a habit or goal, you are going to half way get results. So lets get started! Last week the topic was allocating your time to things that matter most like your goals and so on. Now it's time to look internally! What is surrounding you?

1. Look who's around you. You might be a positive person, but the people around you are draining you. AND yes, this does include family members. Write a list of people that make you feel good and bad. Evaluate who holds value in your life.

2. If you find it difficult to cut off particular friends, tell them, "I'm trying to be positive, so I would rather not speak about "whatever." If they respond negatively, and don't take you seriously, they handed you the scissors. Chop Chop.[ Honestly, this would be a good tester to see who is really your friend, and if they really care about you changing your life for the better.]

3. Decrease your allocation of time on things that annoy you. Really! These little things that are  annoying you and not really benefiting you can be the reason you are complaining all the time, or thinking negative. These annoying things can either be people or tangible items. Just remember, what you complain about, you bring about!

So I'm going to leave you with those three steps.. I would say these are the basics! We will go more in-depth soon. Stay tuned!

Next week will be a media post of one of my favorite videos! This video helps me whenever I might be down, tired, or drained. I always refer to this video when I want to put things in perspective. I can't wait for you all to see it!


Post are up every Friday @ 4p.

Time Allocation

How are you allocating your time?

I know we always hear these quotes such as: "time is an essence" or "time is valuable", but what do we really do with our time?

 Are we spending time with positive people? Are we spending time working toward our goals? Are we spending our time WISELY?

These are questions I have to ask my self everyday. Often times I have found myself being lazy and not really working towards my personal goals. In my mind I want to believe I do, but if I have to be truthfully honest with myself, I do just enough.  Sometimes it's hard to put energy and time in things you might not see a sudden benefit from.

"I remember when I use to go to work I never wanted to clock-out early or get sent home early. Although, I wasn't crazy about my job, I knew if I did not allocate my hours and time towards my job, my check could be short of funds."

This is the same concept we should use when allocating our time and energy towards our personal, social, and career goals. I know, sometimes it can be easier said than done. When it gets hard, ask yourself the following question:  How can I expect change in my life if I do not allocate my time to what I want to see change?

This week I challenge you to pre-plan your week hour by hour. If you don't see this post until mid-week, use the remaining days of your week to do the same. Also, give me feedback! If this week's challenge worked or didn't work, let me know! I have a message box to the right of the screen. If you are viewing this blog from your mobile, I would suggest you look at the page in "view web version", this  option should be at the bottom of your screen. I will continue to make updates to my blog. So I guess you can say "It's under construction"

Some recent updates I have made are the following:"Follow me by post/email" and "Message me". If you choose to follow by email, make sure you open the first email to confirm your email address, or it will not send you updates when I post.

I check my email everyday, so if you would like to message me, ask a question , or give feedback, please do!

Remember: This week is your week to OWN IT! Even if you are taking small steps towards your goals, you are getting closer than you were before!
