Namaste. Shoes. Home. Babies.

My goodness it has been a while! I always want to blog, but then I always decide to work instead. But today was my day to catch-up on things and also spend time with my awesome husband! He finally had a day off!

Namaste.

I have come to really love this phrase and this salutation and the whole movement. Honestly when I did yoga for the first time years ago I thought it was weird, everyone saying Namaste. But since doing Piyo more and putting more meaning into connecting my mind to my heart, I can feel a serious connection and overwhelming peace come over me each time. I love the stretch and then connecting my hands together over my head, bringing it down to my heart and bowing. It's a powerful connection.





Shoes.

Since Corey had the day off he wanted to go get new running shoes. And since he was still home when I got back from the gym I decided to go along! I desperately needed new shoes! And it's just not something I pay much attention to, I don't realize how much a good shoe really can help your workouts and your runs I guess. So since he was going I decided to go to. We both picked out super fun shoes! I tried these ones that looked like bubble gum, cotton candy shoes! So flippin cute! But I went with these instead for the added support because my feet are weird!! And I love purple! We are both so excited about our new shoes!! :) He's getting up at 5:00am tomorrow just so he can run to work! Crazy man!


Home.

We are house hunting! We are ready to start looking for a home to buy! We know we want to stay in the valley for awhile and we are just ready and excited to possibly have our own home soon! More on this topic later! :)









Babies.

I have baby on the mind! Big time! We are just fine with having a baby whenever the Lord sees fit to bless us with a baby, but it seems like everything I have been focusing on these days is baby! Baby names, fun things to do with babies and little kids, baby clothes, movies with babies like "Life as We Know It," baby, baby, baby. And! I had a dream several months ago about three little brunette triplet girls! In that dream I was dang shocked and just couldn't believe I had triplet girls! That's a lot! Then, a couple nights ago, Corey had a dream about three little red-headed girls! I guess we are going to be having lots of girls! Pretty sure we are going to have lots of kids because Corey says we aren't stopping with only one boy, he must have at least two! Haha! I just love lil' ones! But we are perfectly happy to let it be in the Lord's hands! :)

Happy! Random! Happy!

There is no rhyme or reason to this post... I am just so happy! I have been super busy it seems like just trying to get in some sort of a routine with working at home! It is so fun stepping up and just deciding to live the life I want to live!

Put Your Health First Today

This is from my friend Lori Harder's blog and I wanted to share it. I hope to become healthier and more fit in the upcoming months and I'm going to use her blog a lot to help me do that!

"TOP 10 REASONS I PUT MY HEALTH FIRST

1.) I work harder and am more productive when I exercise and workout, which gives me more free time in the long run.

2.) I am motivated and energized, which allows me to use that energy to help others get what they need out of life, in turn making me feel fulfilled!

3.) I am a VERY happy, stable and reasonable person when I eat right and sweat everyday! This helps me fight any anxiety and stress that is waiting right around the corner because of my hectic, full schedule.

4.) I am able to handle more because exercise and eating well keeps stress levels down.

5.) I am more fun to be around because l am not stressing over all the things I did not get done and how bad I feel about myself. When your body is healthy so is your mind which means I do not bring any negative, self inflicted drama into my life because I am miserable and want  those around me to be miserable too. When you are healthy things are in perspective and are getting accomplished! No more sweating the small stuff!

6.) My relationships are better because I love myself. When you are happy with who you are, you are able to truly focus on others and see all the good things they have to offer.

7.) I get to say GOODBYE to jealousy  because I like who I am and what I have to offer. Eating healthy and working out makes you learn to love yourself and your body. It helps give you the energy and motivation to find what you are meant to be doing with your life!  Most importantly, it teaches discipline and appreciation. You lose the attitude of an entitlement and realize what you put in, is what you get out of life, period.

8.) It helps with any seasonal blues and blahs I’m dealing with!  Even when there is no sun, negative temps and I am trapped indoors, I know that if I go get a great workout in no matter how miserable, sad and mopey I am, I will feel like a million dollars afterward!

9.) The feeling of overcoming a negative attitude, a bad day, choosing the healthy food, not drinking, getting good rest, choosing the high road, ignoring “Debbie Downer,” getting a workout in a crunch is better than I can even put into words. The rewards start rolling in after you have made a healthy lifestyle a habit. It is never easy, but being a miserable person is a hell you create by yourself. I don’t know about you but I am not gonna live there! I know being disciplined is the key to a lasting, happy life.

10.) I never have to listen to myself say “Poor ME!” Or “Why does he/she get everything handed to them?” Working out, eating right and being very disciplined makes me very aware of how blessed I am to be alive. I have a clear mind and I am very rarely crabby or tired. This helps me realize that I am the creator of my life, destiny and happiness. No one can give this to me besides me, not even my friends or loved ones! I have to love me before I can love anyone else. Being happy draws good things to you, whether it be job opportunities, friends or reaching your dreams!

This takes time and discipline but I know you too will have the same benefits! I hope you
find the same peace and happiness I have found when you put your best effort in. This will be a
life long endeavor and I will tell you it is worth all of the blood, sweat and tears!

Thanks for listening, Lori Harder"

Dream it. See it. Have it.

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” Albert Einstein

Want to create your life? I hope you know that you can. Those of you close to me might have seen a change in me in the past few months, it has been quite significant. I have become so much happier! It is crazy and awesome! I owe it to Corey, my faith, Isagenix, so many of my friends, family, and leaders, and this awesome movie! The Secret. YOU MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE! I promise it will help you with anything you need help with in your life. 

Here are some quick quotes to get you excited about the movie:

-“Choose your thoughts carefully… you are a masterpiece of your life.”

-“When you get the hang of this, before you know it you will KNOW you are the creator."

-“Decide what you want... believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it's possible for you."

-“EVERYTHING in your life you have attracted... accept that fact... it's true.”

-“Start by using this sentence for all of your wants: ‘I'm so happy and grateful now that.... ‘”

     Such as:

     I am so happy and grateful now that I have my new Ford F-350.

     I am so happy and grateful now that we are parents to healthy beautiful babies!

     I am so happy and grateful now that I am making $6,000 a month.

     I am so happy and grateful now that I have free time each week to enjoy my hobby.

     I am so happy and grateful now that I get to go to the temple once a week.

-“Create a Vision Board... pictures of what you want to attract... every day look at it and get into the feeling state of already having acquired these wants.”

Vision boards work and they are so fun! I have made about three and I love making them and I love looking at them and I love realizing I am accomplishing my goals and that they are manifesting!  

This dream board took me a little longer than dream boards need to take. I used a large bulletin board that I already had, pictures I printed out online, and pretty scrapbook paper that I had. I love this one and it is right next to my bed. I see it and look at it before I go to sleep and I look at it and look at each picture first thing when I wake up.

My next dream board... was quick and fun and kinda messy. I made it for a challenge and I wanted it to be a short term dream board!

 And I love my most recent dream board! It is more organized than the one above and not as organized as the first one, it has a mix of short term and long term goals. It's funny and cute and spiritual all in one one dream board. And just so you know the pictures of girls bodies look funny because I cut and pasted my own head on three girls bodies. Haha! They all look kinda funky! But it is fun and funny!

Happy Dreaming!
