My health and wellness journey is ever-evolving. I set out on this journey to improve my health, mainly to lose weight. My weight loss journey has transformed into a total wellness journey.

Life truly is what you make it. Most people life by default - just letting things happen - no dreams or goals - just living or worse existing. Living a life you design means you are making choices that will create the life you want. For more information about the Optavia LifeBook, email me @ shinebydesign.info@gmail.com
We don't have to live by default. We get to create the life we live by the decisions we make! We just don't need to JUST live because we GET to live. We need to create a life that lets our lights shine as bright as they possible can! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrs.mcmahen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mrs-McMahen-102098601499879
If you are attempting to deal with any trauma or negative emotion, boundaries are crucial to your efforts. My advice is to look at the number one thing that is a negative influence on your life and start there. Then, little by little, create additional boundaries that feel right to you. If you don't follow me on Pinterest, look me up at https://www.pinterest.com/mrsmcmahen/. I have a board dedicated to boundaries and have pinned many examples for inspiration.
So the big question is how do you heal? How do you get those nasty, agonizing negative emotions out? Instead of focusing this podcast on all the things you need to do, I want to start with four things you need to not do. You will never be able to begin the process of healing if you do not remove these things from your thinking.
I tell y'all in my intro that “you are going to have to be brutally honest with yourself”, and now it's time for me to take my own advice. I typically write my podcasts with myself in mind but I rarely share my struggles. It's time to share my struggles and the opportunity to live without the chains of guilt and shame holding you back.
One of the best things in life you can be is that girl that roots for the other girl. The one who helps her find solutions to her challenges, tells her she is amazing, and encourage her dreams. With each woman you help rise you lift yourself and the satisfaction is next to none!
Sometimes we overlook the little things and we take them for granted. There are many ordinary things in our lives that are positive and we need to try to not overlook them.
You can't let every little thing get to you and you can't wear your feelings on your sleeve, but being tenderhearted and compassionate is one of the most beautiful things you can be.
So, what exactly is my Happy Hustle? Well, hustle to me means you will do whatever it takes to reach a goal. So a Happy Hustle means to do that with all the positivity, rainbows, and sparkle you can find. I want everyone to reach their goals. I want everyone to be happy and completely obsessed with the life they get to live every single day. This doesn't happen by accident and it takes a lot of work. But anything worth having is worth working for.
I don't have a big gem for you today. I want to take a few moments to point out just how sweet our babies can be. Whether you are a parent or a lucky bonus aunt like me, take the time to understand these littles. They live in a different world than we do, and they won't be little long. Let them play, encourage their imagination, and take the time to enjoy those big joys in the little things with them.

Is it because they are simply magical or is it maybe because It's our mindset which is really enjoying the clean and fresh place? This morning I want to talk to you about how you can creating a peaceful positive mindset begins with cleaning up your personal environment. http://betterme.org/cleansweep.html
Are you surviving or thriving? Are you continuing to live and merely exist or are you living well, growing, developing, prospering, and flourishing. How do you know if you are surviving or thriving, how do you know it's your time to thrive, and how do you begin to thrive?

God tells us in 1 Peter 4:8 and following - Above all, Keep loving one another earnestly. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Minister to one another. What powerful scripture. I love how God gives us direction and never once says it is dependent upon other peoples actions. He never once said “if they deserve it, love them.” The question we all ask at some point is how do we do this. How do we love people we don't know or know if we like, or even more people we don't like? Today I'll give you my thoughts on this topic!

Sometimes we get distracted by what society tells us is a successful and fulfilled life. That leaves us feeling stuck and stuck feels completely awful. But if you think about it, being stuck isn't a real feeling. Stuck is a result of what we are really feeling and usually happens when we start comparing ourselves to an idea of what we're supposed to be or comparing ourselves to other people.
The mind has a powerful way of attracting things that are in harmony with it, good and bad. So make sure you are taking control of your mindset - your happiness depends on it.
We have been called to work since the beginning. God, the creator, had planted a garden and placed Adam in it “to work it and take care of it” Rule over the fish… the birds… and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” How wonderful and what an honor it is that God entrusted human beings to take care of His creation.
We spend so much of our time either on ‘auto pilot,' doing today exactly what we did yesterday, sometimes meaningless mundane things, or overworking, or doing things for others and we forget about ourselves. Showing up for yourself means taking a break from all of that in order to be self motivated, mindful, and present.
Do you have something you need to commit to or are you looking for a new challenge. Here is how you can get results!
To defy the odds is to accomplish something that most would deem impossible. The expression suggests a person has “defied the odds” and said “No” to fate, refusing to believe the extreme improbability of them managing to do whatever it is that they are choosing to do.
Perfectionism creates feelings of never enough. Feeling like you are never enough is a trap - hindsight is always 2020 and I promise there will always be a way you could have done something better. Find fulfillment in the try not the outcomes ! We have to focus on the process. It's OK to not be good at everything and enjoy the trying. Find joy in the process and lean into the mess we are instead of thinking there are things and ways we have to be.
