Podcast #26: Stop to Smell the Roses

No More Excuses: Monday Motivation podcast

HELLO there! I know, I could sense it, you were just watching and waiting on pins and needles for the new podcast, the latest Monday Motivation weren’t you?! Well, I do appreciate you listening and would REALLY appreciate it if you would share the podcast via your social media! The more listeners, the better, eh?!

Last week was about finding out what you NEED that can help you and honestly that BELIEF – believing in yourself is really the main thing! BELIEF IS POWER and can be the driving force behind achieving whatever it is that you want! Do you BELIEVE in yourself? Many people believe in OTHERS. We’re always better at helping others than ourselves. Why is that? Why don’t we believe in ourselves as much as or MORE than we do others? How do we put OURSELVES first?

Have you stopped long enough to think about that? To think about how you can put yourself first? Do you know how to do that? Do you appreciate all that you have? And that you have accomplished? Many times we just focus on what we DON’T HAVE. HAVEN’T DONE and maybe feel like we CAN’T DO.

Do you STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES? I used to literally! When I would walk in the grocery store, I would stop and smell the roses. Sometimes other flowers that I liked as well, especially if some of the roses weren’t very fragrant that day! I had it in my mind to do that, and it would seriously put me in a different state of mind! Clearly it has something to do with smell and brain connection, but I’m not going into that! Haha. I am just realizing I LOOK at the flowers now, but tend to stop and look at the sushi being made fresh yet I have not stopped to smell the roses in a VERY long time! Hmmmmm, I think I will take my own advice the next time. BUT…this wasn’t meant to be so literal. Haha – Do you stop to look around and notice. Do you stop to APPRECIATE all that you have. All that you’ve done NO matter how small?

Listen in for more about how and why you should take the time to appreciate what you have.
