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!

Be the one

So I'm a huge fan of The Simpsons. I mean a HUGE fan, I can't survive a day without even one The Simpsons episode.
Theres plenty of reasons why I love it, and one of them is the educational side. You can think what you want but really often there is a good message in episode.

Today I'm gonna talk about one particular episode where Bart and Lisa is going to military school (The secret war of Lisa Simpson).

So why this episode? Lisa want's to do something thats not normal in their world (keep in mind it's old episode), and even the principal of that school is a little against it ("Let me make this clear.. You're a girl?").
But still, she goes there and tries her best.

Even Bart turns his back for her for a while.. But here's the good side. The side that I wanted you to think. He came back for her, helped her and when he realized Lisa is really needing a good helping friend (brother), he stands up for her and encourages her to go thru that last task of theirs - the Eliminator.

In our own lives this "Eliminator" could be anything. Some job relied project, losing weight, quitting smoking.. Anything. And we need at least one person who can stand beside us.

Today as I watched that episode of The Simpsons, I thought that it looks like most of ours lives. Theres plenty of those people who will always be yelling "YOU'RE GONNA FAIL!" and just one or two who will be beside you. You just need to see them from the crowd.

And if you're that person, who sees someone who really needs some encourage, DO IT. Help that person to stand to his/hers own feet, and make that person feel LOVED. Good things happen to good people. Good things happen to good people, tweet it.

If you're the one who needs a friend, take a deep breath, think about those moments in past couple of months/days/years. Who has always been there, even if you didn't see it at the moment? Trust me, there's always someone who is beside you, even if you don't belive it.

YOU CAN DO IT.


Oh, and in case you haven't seen that particular episode or want to see a little sneek a peek to Lisas war, here's a clip.

You can do it!

Sometimes there's just days that you can't get yourself up. You just lie in your bed thinking, that everything you have done is wrong and you are worthless.

No you're not.

Whatever it is what you're suppose to do, just DO it. Just get up on your feet, and start doing!

There's no one else in this world that could do them for you, so just do them yourself! If you don't know where to start, make a list.

Make a list about those tasks that you need to do to get to your goal. What is those steps to do to get to the grand price? Maybe it's calling to that long term friend, maybe it's starting running.. Whatever those things are, write them down.

Put the list somewhere where you can see it every day. In fridge door, toilet mirror, bedroom .. You name it.

Then just start doing. What is the first thing to do? Do it. Reward yourself for doing it. Because your AWESOME for doing something that you are not used to do!

Then do the second thing. And third. If you can't do these things in one day, it's ok. Some things just need more time, but if those tasks are easy (like cleaning the whole house), it's better to do them right now.

You CAN do it! You CAN manage your life, you CAN reach your goals, you CAN BE THE BEST. (tweet it!)

Now start doing!

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.

What makes you negative?

When you're trying to make your life more positive, try to think about those things that makes it negative.

So for example, there's a friend you see weekly or read his/hers posts on Facebook, chat with him/her and every time he/she gets you upset. No matter what you try to say, everything is a "No." for him/her and he/she always finds a way to say something negative.
These guys usually are those friends of Facebook etc who only post negative comments on anyones status.
Ditch them. Or if you can't/won't totally throw them away from your life, at least hide them from your feed. Stop calling them, they usually get the point.

You really don't need those guys in your life! If they have nothing nice ever say to you, don't be with them! And usually these same guys are the ones who only call you when they need something, do you really want to be that guy who always gets called when money/favor are needed?

And, this really culminates to this.. BE POSITIVE. Why? Let me show you thru a picture.

So. Let's begin with that negative attitude of yours in upper left corner. You are negative, you attract negative people. And a human being is going to be just like his surrounding people are..
Try to be that positive person without changing anything else. Don't change your friends or anything, just be positive. Pretty tough, hu? Yes, I know. I tried.
The truth is, that if everyone who is surrounding you, is negative, you will be too. You can't escape it, if you won't change anything. 

BUT. When you are surrounded with positive people, you can be positive and you will encourage others on what they do! Well isn't that nice? Again; positive things happen to positive people. And thats straight way up.

Didn't yet delete that really negative person from Facebook? Do it now. Start your new positive life, step by step. Not sure about some of the people? Just hide them from your news feed.

It's kind of a small step, but it's something. If you dare, you can 'delete' some of those negative persons from your normal life too, like deleting numbers or just decide "I'm not going to call him/her, until he/she changes his/her attitude."

Simply clever! I can admit, that within first weeks I didn't delete anyones number. I just deleted couple of "who's this?" guys from Facebook and hid those negative persons.

It didn't take more than one day that I felt huge relief because I didn't need to look at those "boohoo my life sucks" statuses! I really, really, really recommend this for all of you.

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.

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.
