Living a Life of Abundance

People often forget that we were all created equal.  One does not possess "more" than another because he is any better; he simply brought it to himself through the process of positive thinking and believing.  Fact is, we can all have anything we want and desire.  I am in my process of cultivating my thoughts and beliefs and what I have come to realize is it is much like going to the gym, in that, you must learn to control/ exercise your thoughts.  We literally have thousands of thoughts, conscious and unconscious, that go through our minds daily. Learning to keep the most helpful thoughts in mind for you is the first step, but you must BELIEVE them.  Getting rid of old beliefs is imperative in order to allow abundance into your life.

In the video I've included, "How to use the Law of Abundance," you will hear D. Anka aka Bashar, talk about the Law of Abundance.  Abundance is the ability to do what you need to do, when you need to do it.  Understand that that does not always mean you have to have the most money.  Example, perhaps you want to go to Europe and see the sunset in Tuscany.  Most automatically believe that they need "x" amount of dollars for this to happen and you can only get that money by working "x" amount of hours.. and so that will be your experience, having to pay for the trip by working day and night at your j-o-b.  But employ this idea, maybe you could win a trip by entering an online sweepstakes or be gifted such a trip from your boss who has been to Tuscany four times already.  The possibilities are endless and it is not our job to make it happen or even understand how it is going to happen, it is simply our job to ask it, think it, and believe it.  The opportunity will present itself.  However, if you think in an abundance of lack, well... lack is what you will get.

Be mindful and think positively!

Grabbing Life By the Balls

When I set out to write this blog some years ago, I did not imagine it being such a huge window into my personal life.  However, now that you are here (and I love you being here), I realize we are human beings and we have similar experiences in life be it emotionally, financially, physically, or mentally. So I decided, if there is something I can do to help through my story, experiences or simply by being an inspiration, I am beyond happy to do so... which leads me to this post.

Less than 2 weeks ago, I upped and moved to the Golden State, California.  It has been something I wanted to do since I was 18 and I've finally done it.  Once I actually got here, I started wondering why it took me so long to do it in the first place, but there was really no good reason.  I suppose I was scared or comfortable at home, or plain lazy because I knew it would mean a shift in what I was used to.  But ultimately, I made the change and decided that I only have one life to live and I want it to be as beautiful as a sunrise in Bali (my fantasy destination).

I'm on a journey guys!  One that is introducing me to new people, new opportunities and a whirlwind of other things.  I could not be more anxious than I am in this very moment, but the idea of the unknown is exhilarating to me.  I decided to take life and grab it by the balls.  One month ago I was sitting behind the desk of my family's business wondering what the heck I was doing there.. in my mind I kept reasoning, "Heather, this is an excellent opportunity, you can take this company and grow it.. you will be very comfortable in a couple of years and despite the cold weather and low energy of this town, you can travel on the weekends to get away."  Yes, that was the lies I was feeding myself.  Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that working a traditional business and traveling on weekends is bad IF that is what truly makes you happy.  However, I knew I wanted something different.  I was not made to be that woman.

I am meant to inspire, to transform and conquer.

So here I am.  I hope you can join me on this journey.  Your life changes may not be to move across country, maybe your changes are advancing at work or moving into a better home.  Whatever it is, do it.  Think it out, write it down, and do everything in your power to make it happen.  You do not have to know exactly how it will happen as long as you begin to take steps towards your dream. It is worth it, I promise.

New Year, New Look, New You!

Here we go with the start of a new year.  Some of you are working hard to maintain those resolutions, while others struggle to even begin them.  I remember reading that people's desires lie with body image and appearance, meaning you want to look good. Nike sneakers and yoga mats are in tote for the first month of the new 365 day cycle.  Yet, somehow by February, gyms are abandon and resolutions are forgotten.  Wait, what happened?  

I will tell you what happened, nothing!  But not to worry ladies, there are still many ways to maintain your image.  I'm not suggesting that anything can take the place of exercise and it should be something you strive to do if only for a few minutes a day, but what I am suggesting is that there are alternative ways that can enhance your overall look and appearance.  What is it you ask?  Simple, it's your wardrobe!

Yes that's right, wardrobe can make or break your first impressions and they definitely play a role on your personal confidence, so let's start there.  Let's get you to a place that makes sense esthetically and financially, because let's be honest... the gym can be a little costly, especially for someone who is unmotivated.

Here are some tips on how to make an outfit pop:

1. A pop of color is ALWAYS a go.  Add a pair of electric blue shoes to your all black outfit or trade out your everyday bag for a statement piece like a clutch.
2. Have fun with your looks.  Who said a suit had to be boring?  I think it is awesome when I see a woman (or man) rocking a logo tee under their stuffy black or grey suit.  It adds character and personality, but still looks professional and chic.  Pair it with pretty studded earrings and a gaudy ring.
3. A cocktail dress doesn't have to be a formal thing.  Throw a pair of combat boots and add a leather jacket and sunglasses, look here.  Take your look from night to day.  What a way to capitalize on your clothes.
4. Rock the comfy-cute look.  Just because you are wearing a sweatshirt, doesn't mean you have to look like a slob.  Wouldn't it be fun to add a pair of diamond teardrop earrings or how about cool sneakers?

For more outfit ideas, check BaitApparel.bigcartel.com  and remember to always play around with your looks.  What works for me, may not work for you so make sure you get it right.  Clothing can make such a huge difference in your confidence.  Who knows, maybe your new found confidence will motivate you to use that gym membership after all.
