Making Moves Monday

Hey Sis! 

You know what today is? 

TODAY is Making Moves MONDAY!! 

And it doesn't matter if you had a wonderful weekend or one that you're glad it's over.... 

Today is the first day of the work week and it's the start of your MENTAL RECIPE for a SUCCESS!  

Time for a WELLNESS CHECK IN before we get going... 

CHECK IN 1: 

How did you sleep last night? 

Did you know that sleep is actually for the spirit not for the body?  

Think about it.. 

Why do you think when people pass away, we say 'May they REST in peace'? 

I doubt we're talking about their physical body anymore, right? 

So, whether you sleep soundly or had disrupted sleep, there is a simple remedy for resting the spirit

And that is Prayer.  

Praying is how we center ourselves in a posture of rest before GOD. 

I encourage everyone to pray before bed, to ignite more restful sleep. 

And I am challenging you today, to give God the first part of our day, by Praying. 

If we pray and we ask Him to bless our day and lead it for the next 30 days... 

What do you think will happen? 

There's only one way to find out, Sis, make a move. 

CHECK IN 2: 

How are you feeling? 

If you woke up feeling amazing today, then flow in THAT!! 

But if you woke up feeling tired, let's try something different today. 

You see, most people jump to caffeine as the immediate solution to tiredness. 

But do you see them 'puffies' under your eyes, Sis? 

I'm sorry no one told you, but that's where the caffeine lives.

So although the results of caffeine are only temporary, the long term physical effects are making you look more tired in the long run. 

Let's try a hot shower with MUSIC today, instead of coffee! 

Yea, you heard me... Music.  

The hot shower will penetrate into your pores, igniting your hydration, which we all could use more of: NATURAL wellness.  

And the Music...Is something many of us sleep on.

Did you know music is SOOTHING to the soul? 

Playing a little feel good music, is the perfect jump start to a perfect day!

Girl!  You better get your Mariah Carey on in that shower today!! 

Saturate yourself with total wellness, Mind, Body and Soul!  

You have time, Sis... make a move. 

CHECK IN 3: 

What are you wearing today? 

This is the most critical and vital step to our MENTAL RECIPE for success. 

Did you know that what you wear is influenced by how you feel? 

That's what my daddy used to say " how a man looks is how a man feels " 

This applies to women as well, Sis...

Why do you think women walk around in the grocery store in pajamas?  

Or go to the club with literally no clothes on at all? 

Come on, Sis! 

This aint Rocket Science.  

We dress based on how we're feeling at that moment, right? 

But what if this is a mental insight we can use to our advantage.

What would happen if you dressed a little differently today? 

How would this impact your mood? 

You know, put on some heels with your jeans, or perhaps a little mascara? 

Nothing too overt, of course.... 

Just a little pop, in the right direction! 

When I feel tired, I wear heels. 

They make me feel more professional and more empowered. 

When I lack confidence, I wear a skirt. 

Looking girly, ALWAYS makes me feel beautiful. 

And when I'm having a 'bad hair' day....GIRL, I wear something sexy! 

Seriously. 

Who's paying attention to my 'bad hair', when there are other things going on? 

You get the gist, Sis? (smile) 

Monday is what we make it!!

And the choice is to Make Moves, or make excuses...  

So let's ROCK IT by staying ahead of it MENTALLY

And by making the right Moves! 

Until next time...
