Gratitude inspires personal growth and joy more than anything else. So many people believe that gratitude is an expression after receiving something from someone, but what we are talking about is much more deeper than that. When you look into your day, there are blessings everywhere. Put your focus on today. Even if you had a rough start to the day, look for the little things that went right and say it out loud to yourself: I am grateful that ______________. (Fill in your blank.) Begin to shift your focus and look for reasons to be grateful. One of the easiest ways to accomplish big results in looking for opportunities to be grateful is to create gratitude for others. Kindness shown to strangers is the fastest way to encourage gratitude growth within you and for the people who cross your path. If you need ideas for random acts of kindness, our Premiere issue has a ton of simple ideas! For 30 days, make the commitment to participate in at least one act of kindness per day. It c...

Do something just because it makes you happy! Lori Marini The definition of self-care /ˌselfˈker/ noun: • the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress. Life is about balance. Everything in life is connected and if one part of your life is out of balance, then it will either take over or be forgotten. When life is not in balance, people tend to become reactionary, anxiety ridden, bullies, or shut down. It’s easy to get frustrated when you feel you are the only one doing everything. At times of stress, when we are being pulled in every direction, the last thing we think about doing is taking a time out to care for ourselves. I see this every day with my Loving Gypsy Soul Coaching Clients, many of which have had their lives turned upside down with a cancer diagnosis: either as a Warrior or as their amazing Caregiver. I found the key to happiness is to keep our emotional, mental, and physical life b...
