Eat healthier
Most of the things that we choose to do daily effects how we feel and how we interact, how we do our jobs.. But there's more in that.
So you're getting more positive on the inside, but. Are you still tired? Do you still feel like you don't get to be the person you want to be? Rolling in bed by nights?
There might be another reason than you being negative. And that's your eating habits.
Eating healthier and regularly really helps you to be more perky and gives you a boost to carry on in work and other life situations.
Here's my advice. For a week, look what you eat and how regularly. Do you skip breakfast? Or lunch?
Remember to eat, but not healthy enough? Because I can tell you, pizza ain't great lunch.. It's tasty, but not good for your health. ;)
My breakfast is usually oatmeal or smoothie or fruits.. or all of them! Depends on day.
Besides that eating healthy, do you take any extra vitamins or omega 3 ? Usually (especially during winter) human needs more C and Omega than they get from their food. Did you know, that almost only thing where you get Omega 3 is in fish? And how much you should eat fish to get enough... That's so much that you couldn't do that, trust me.
But changing even some little things in your daily eating you should get some results. And what's even better, it helps maintain normal weight so if you have some kind of problems with weight (too much too less), good healthy food will help you to get in better weight.
But as for recepies, I'm writing a book about them so you can see them later!

How to motivate yourself to work
We all know that feeling on Monday morning when
First of all, you should prevent that with couple of things.
With these simple things done, your morning will already be better.
But what if I still have a bad morning?
It's ok. It's normal to have bad days. This is what I do at those days.
Like what you read? Please be kind and subscribe my blog, and if you would like to be the first one to know about new texts, click yourself to my email list. :)
- last nights staying up was REALLY bad idea..
- and I totally should have not watch that horror movie..
- why that alarm clock sounds so loud?
- why didn't I look up for those clothes early enough?
First of all, you should prevent that with couple of things.
- Load your coffee machine before hand (last night) to win some time in the morning and to get some more time to wake up without doing anything (and this one really gives me a good mood when I don't remember that yes I really did load that coffee machine!)
- Make sure that those clothes your suppose to wear are clean, ironed and fresh so you don't have to waist time in the morning to try to find clean clothes.
- If you're like me and "don't have time" to eat breakfast in the morning (or you get sick of eating in the morning), slice some orange to your fridge last night. It's fresh and good, and you don't have to do anything than just eat in the morning.
With these simple things done, your morning will already be better.
But what if I still have a bad morning?
It's ok. It's normal to have bad days. This is what I do at those days.
- As I've told before, be thankful. So, when you wake up a little cranky, think about at least 5 things you are thankful for.
- Smile. Stand before mirror and just smile. Sounds stupid, but it works. Trust me.
- When you get yourself smiling, say "I can do it!". Say it out loud. REALLY LOUD. Yell it! YES! YOU. CAN. DO. IT.
- Listen to good mood music, at least on your way to work. Sing along. LOUDLY. ;)
- Think about those reasons why you do what you do. Why you love your job? What does it give to you? (if it really doesn't give to you anything, I recommend to change your job but DON'T do it as a random act, think about it all the way trough and have a backup plan.)

5 things to be grateful -challenge
#GratitudeChallenge2015
Here Are The Rules:
- You have 72 hours to accept the challenge when you are nominated.
- Write or say 5 things you are grateful for on any social media platform (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Blog, or anywhere)
- Display a picture of gratitude. Any picture of something simple that makes (or made) you smile.
- Nominate 5 other people in your circle, but make sure to let them know immediately.
I took this from diyjahn.com , just because I feel like these kind of things belongs to this blog. And this is suppose to be a little sneak a peek to what kind of thing you can be grateful. Yours can be really different from this one but it doesn't matter. What matters, is that you think of it.
So. Here it goes.
1. Husband.
This is something that I still can't understand; I found a yin to my yang, a person who REALLY loves me as I am. Even at my worst, like this weekend... I was too lazy to do even something to eat, and he did food for me.
Which takes me to...
2. Odd Finnish food.
I would never survive without Finnish salty liquorice or rye bread. (And I love those faces when someone who doesn't know what these are, tries them out.)
3. My lovely home
I have a roof over my head, it's warm inside, I have running water and no one has shut down our electricity. And actually, it's kind of pretty too.
4. Snow during winter
Ok, not yet, because as I told it has been way too long fall this year, but still I can't wait to see those first little snowflakes falling down to ground..
5. My best friends
The best of the best in category of my friends .. It's way too long distance between us. And it makes me cry sometimes, but when I see them, it's like heaven down on earth. And just having a little time with them takes me trough a lot of bad times and gives me strength. And actually I'm smiling right now, just thinking these loved ones of mine. YOU'RE THE BEST.

How to get a positive morning routine
So, I live in Finland. Most of you guys probably know how is winter time in here (if you don't know, Google it).
It's so dark, cold and windy. And if fall is longer than normal (like this year) we don't even get snow to brighten our day. And that's the reason it's easy to get depressed, get some sick days from work and cry your eyes out aaaaaaaand the circle is done.
This in mind I have improved my daily routines to next level.
Couple of these thing I have written earlier, but as I usually say, repetition is the mother of learning.
First of all at the morning when I wake up I smile and tell to myself "This is going to be a great day!" . If I wake up before alarm, I think "Wow I got this much time more to do my morning routines" or if I oversleep a little I think "Well at least I got some sleep so I don't feel so tired."
Then when I have my first cup of coffee in my hands, I think of 5 things which I can be thankful for. It doesn't matter if you don't get five at first time (because you're probably a little unmotivated at the moment) but it's pretty great feeling when you realize that you can think of MORE than five! And that's progress let me tell you that! :)
And after some time (could be months, it depends on what's your starting point) you don't even have to think about thinking those things because you do it subconscious every morning.
You should start with this and when this starts to feel normal to you, you can start doing some other exercises too (which I will tell you later).
Because if you start your day positive, it usually will be positive till next morning.
So, starting from tomorrow. First thing in the morning, think positive, and be thankful for 5 things in your life.

Motivating videos
There's a lot of ways to motivate yourself (including this blog), and I like to use all of them as a piece of my own path to success.
One of them is YouTube. Yes, I open YouTube and look for motivation videos, empowering people, great leaders... You name it!
And you don't even need to watch those videos. You can just push play button, hit those boomboxen loud and start doing something you would normally do. Like I listen to these as I do my makeup.
Here is one of my favorite video. Please watch it, and if you like my blog, subcribe it and add yourself as a follower to see my posts first when they are puplished. :)

That big dream
As I started to do those little thing what I mentioned on my earlier post I began to feel more positive and more focused on aiming my life to a certain path.
What's your big dream? Think about it for a while.
What have you done to get to that dream of yours?
What should you do to get to that dream of yours?
Your dream can be small or big - we all have both of them. But for now, pick up that one witch you think you can have in next 6 months.
Write it down on a piece of paper, and put that paper somewhere where you see it every day (wallet etc.). Now every time you see it, you will selfconstantly start to think about that aim of yours, and what's best, you start to act like you already have it and/or will get it.
See my point here?
Write your dreams down, so you can visualize it and start doing things to get it.

4 points you should know to be a positive person
So now you know something about me and my past. I know you're probably wondering "wheres the tips?"
Don't worry, I'll give them to you one by one. OR as a list (like now.)
So when I was struggling with my life and was trying to think some ways to help my husband (and me on the side) to be better persons, I started to read.
1. Read a lot
I went to these conventions and happenings where every successful person kept saying "Readers are leaders." So, I started to read. A lot.
First it doesn't matter what you read, it's more of the idea of reading. Well of course if you just read Cosmopolitan or Donald Duck or something like that it won't help you but if you concentrate to some good novelty or what's even better, for life changing books, I bet you feel better.
Me for example, I find Stephen Kings books good to read. They are fiction, but they're wrote in good way and I need to use my brains as I read. (So thanks, Stephen!)
2. Think positive
If you are a negative person, negative things will happen to you. That's just a thing that no one can deny. And if you think you can.. Maybe it's time for you to change your point of view?
So in the morning when I wake up, my first thought is "This day will be awesome!" It usually is.
3. Take time to yourself
I usually take 1 hour in the morning for my self to think what should I do next. Do this as you think it would be easiest for you. It can be a wakeup 1 hour earlier than normally so your family is still a sleep. I usually do some lists about "tasks for today" or "what things should change".
PS. I will do a post about these things separately.
4. Enjoy those little things
Yes, I know it's a cliché, BUT.. Think it this way; "Oh what a horrible morning, I overslept like ten minutes and now I can't brew coffee at home and now I need to go to ** to eat my breakfast..." OR "So ok, I overslept today for 10minutes and YES , it's time for my FAVORITE latte for that cute little cafeteria! Ohh and maybe a bagel.."
Which one is you ? Which one you prefer?

Be Positive
So first of all, I should probably tell something about me so you can see what kind of person is writing here.
I'm from Finland. Yes, that cold cold place where everyone is kind of grumpy and doesn't want to talk about anything else than "How's weather?". So it's pretty hard try to try to get someone on a good mood if she/he doesn't want to talk to you about anything.
You know the thrill where neighbors know "everything" about you, you know "everything" about them just by looking as how they live (via window of course). But, when you ask them directly.. Hah, I know. And this isn't really positive, right?
So I moved to other city couples of years ago along with my fiance. We're talking about a lot of miles between my current living spot and my hometown so I was a bit scared. At that point I still was very positive about getting new friends and getting a new beginning in this new town.. So I started to look for job in this new place and got one. Yeah!
But what did my friends do when I told them? Almost all said "This will never work" "I'll give that a year and then she's back" "Why would anyone be that stupid?" "Well good luck for you trying to survive there..."
Like WHAT? Well needless to say, I wasn't really positive after that. I was actually very depressed to move, as I did not have any friends here and all my hometown friends were like that.
So those couple of years went, I got some friends from here but mostly all of them turned their back on me. You know that moment, when you meet someone and you're both like "oh I hate this city I have no friends let's be friends!" and after a while you realize the reason he/she didn't have friends was because he/she is a moron, and nobody warned you before hands. Yeaaap, and multiply that like thousand times and you have my life story. People even tried to get me and my husband not to get married!
So I was a blanket. That person who always was there to loan money, help out ect.. But just because I was craving for attention clearly by the wrong way.
So I got really depressed. I stayed only in home. Nothing more. I didn't want to get out of that door. My husbands work obligates him to be a lot away from home, so instead of going to market to get some food, I just tried to survive with some leftovers and macaronis from cabinets. Obviously, this isn't a way of life.
Well couple of years went like that and then this sense came back to my head. I need to do something.
Remember earlier as I told my long term friend called me?
He lives in my home town. Well as I had that thinking stick to my head, that I don't need anyone from my before life, it isn't too hard to realize why I didn't want to work with him or why didn't I believe in myself.
But this is true, he was mine - ours - turning point.
Well I didn't start to work with him - yet - but my husband did. And as they started to do business and I stood by my husband (of course) I realized how sad this person felt. This person who I love with all my heart, with my own depression I didn't realize he's so deep in it.
So the turning point? Yes, positive people. But also, I wanted to help my husband. I wanted him to success on what ever he's going to do. And if I'm negative, he will be negative, and it won't work.
So, lesson today;
BE POSITIVE, SO POSITIVE THINGS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.

BE POSITIVE, SO POSITIVE THINGS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.
YOU CAN DO IT!
I know how hard it is to stick to being motivated, as I had some setbacks in my life too.
So lately I have been thinking that what should I do to be happier, to be successful, to provide good future to my family.
As I had been really thinking this for a long time, I mean for a REALLY long time.. It was about a time to something really happen. So what happened that made me think this?
I met my long term friend for a cup of coffee. He offered me a job, but I didn't take it. I needed it, but I didn't take it. Why? Because I was so negative by the time. I only thought, that I will never success or I will lose my money, time, husband.. Time wasn't right for me to do business with this guy.
Well, time passed and we didn't really connect. But one day he called again to ask me and my husband to meet him. So we went and he cooked some nice food for us (Spaghetti Bolognese btw, and it was GOOD.) and we talked about real things in life. Not about money, not about how unhealthy we feel.. Just some positive, nice things that has happened in our lives.
That was the turning point of my life.
I realized, that to be positive, I need to see positive people. I can't co-up with my life if the only people beside me is negative!
There started my journey to be a better, positive person, and that's the reason I started to write this blog.
This is one of my ways to help others to do the same.
I hope you will start to follow my roads to success and learn something yourself too. So please click subscribe and feel free to share this. :)
