TOPIC : Springing Into a Positive Mindset - REAL TALK
Leading into March, where we will be talking about Springing into a Positive Mindset all month long!
Real talk.
This year has been HARD and JUST STARTED!
There have been good days, and days I've thought that I might not make it. But I am still here, and pushing through.
With all the negative around us, it's easy to get depressed. It's easy to feel like throwing in the towel and giving up. Some days sales come easy, other days it feels like I'm marketing every way I can just to get a sale. I often wonder if it's just me, maybe customers just don't like me anymore, etc. Maybe i have done something wrong. And that can be mentally draining. Depression sets in. I cry, I can't sleep, my diet is horrible, I let myself go.
Running a business is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I want you to know that I too struggle. I struggle to juggle working and kids. Being a mom and a wife. Paying bills, grocery shopping, working, answering emails, producing product, shipping. It seems like there is never enough time in the day. I feel guilty for clocking out for even an hour just to sit down when I instead I should be working.
I am stressed, depressed, I am tired. My house is a mess and my kids act out for my attention.
But at the end of the day, I am doing the best that I can. And as I sit here and type this post I realize that my mindset lately quite frankly, SUCKS balls.
Remember, that's the thing about mindset, you can change it.
I would love to flood this thread with positivity. Maybe some of you also could use some inspiration in your life. Tips, ideas, words of strength and encouragement to change your own mind set.
Tomorrow is a new day, and we get to choose.. I get to choose my mind set.
So who's with me? Who's ready to get out of this slump that a lot of us are in? Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow is a new mindset. Tomorrow we can have faith. Tomorrow we can change how we look at things.
What will you choose?
xoxo,

It is so easy to get sucked into the ways of the world, the negativity. Especially during times right now when most of us are making more money than we ever had, but expenses are so high we are barely making it. And I am not talking about having a high debt ratio. I am talking no credit card debt, no car payments, making the most you have ever made, but still just scraping by. It can be so so mentally draining. It can take a big toll on your mindset. Which can take a big toll on your day to day life. Which not only can affect you, but everyone around you.
But that's the thing, you can change your mindset.
Never forget that.
Some days I feel like my head is barely above water but when I look around I am able to change my mindset. I ask myself, do I have a save and loving home? Yes
Am I lucky enough to have an amazing husband? Yes
Do I have kids who fill our home with love and laughter (and a lot of screaming)? Yes
Is there food on the table? Yes
Do I have a car that runs? Yes
The list can go on and on and on.
Sometimes it just takes you to realize what you do have. Sometimes it takes just a split reflection of what is truly good in your life and with in just a few moments that mindset that was on the brink of depression can be changed.
Remember, that's the thing about mindset, you can change it.
