Habits:  Defined as something that you do often and regularly, sometimes without knowing that you are doing it: and I would add that it is usually something that is hard to stop doing, especially because a lot of the time you don’t notice that you are in fact doing it!  https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/habit Habits can be learned, they can come […]

Motivation:  What motivates you and keeps you motivated?  Sometimes it is easy to be motivated and other times, oh man, it is so hard to get going – no matter what time of day.  If we could just capture that moment when we are highly motivated and stay, there but we can’t.  It comes and […]

Healthy Love & Acceptance by Others:    I believe it is these two words that keep people motivated.  Everyone is looking for, striving for love and acceptance.  Whether it be in family, friendships, relationships, work, etc.  When you feel loved and accepted for who you are, you feel more confident, more centered.  You are more likely […]
