What are you choosing: Being busy, stressed, or joyful

What are you choosing today? I challenge you to choose less stress, choose more joy and choose being less busy! This week’s video is all about choosing well when it comes to how you spend your time and energy. I saw a sign at my friend Brenda Westwood’s house in Montana that made me think about this topic.

First, what are you being busy with? Are you spending your time on things that bring you happiness? Second, don’t forget that stress impacts your health. One good way to help calm you down and combat stress? Breathing exercises! Lastly, don’t forget that no matter what’s on your plate, you can choose joy and happiness each day.

In the video above I mention this breathing exercise. Be sure to save the graphic below and reference the video below if you are needing a rest and reset through this exercise. This is a great way to pause and destress.

5 Fun Facts & Encouragement

Have you ever stopped to celebrate you and the unique story that makes you who you are? This week, I’m sharing 5 fun facts about myself in our newest YouTube video.

  1. I’ve never owned or carried a backpack.
  2. Always follow your dreams. My twin sister and I moved to Nashville back in 1987 to follow our dreams of becoming songwriters. Our first song recorded was called “Love Speaks Louder than Words” and was recorded by Marie Osmond.
  3. When I was 4-6 weeks old, I was held on my first horse by my mom and my dad. Now I’ve made it my career. If you have a passion you love, make sure you follow it!
  4. My twin sister, Kaysie, and I were submitted for the Double Mint Gum commercials. We became one of the top 5 sets of twins in America. Go after your dreams, even if they are scary and risky. You never know what might happen.
  5. I had a secret crush on my now husband for 23 years. Always pursue your love. You never know what will happen.

 

Why Networking Changes EVERYTHING for Your Success & Happiness

Why Networking Changes EVERYTHING for Your Success & Happiness

Have you ever noticed how one conversation can completely shift your perspective or even open the door to new opportunities? That’s the power of networking!

In this week’s new video, I’m sharing why networking changes everything for your success and happiness. From building confidence to improving communication and creating community, connecting with others is one of the most valuable steps you can take for both your personal and professional life.

I had the chance to experience this firsthand at the eWomen Network Conference in Dallas, and I can’t wait to share what I learned with you.

Ask for Help for More Happiness

Ask for Help for More Happiness

Do you struggle with asking for help?

Whether you’re overwhelmed, stuck, or simply tired of trying to carry it all by yourself, this video is your reminder that reaching out is not a weakness. In fact, it’s one of the most courageous and joy-filled things you can do. I introduce two people in my life who have helped my husband and I in our businesses: Jennah and Hillary. Together, we call ourselves the Dream Team (and the Texas Trio!) as we prepare to head off to a business conference in Texas next week.

This video is your gentle nudge to release the pressure of doing it all yourself. When you allow others to walk alongside you, the journey becomes lighter, richer, and filled with more joy.

Want to be happier? Face your fears!

Want to be happier? Face your fears!

Facing your fears will bring more happiness in your life.

FEAR can either mean:

  • F-face E-everything A-and R-run or
  • F-face E-everything A-and R-rise

The choice is yours face your fears with FAITH. Everything we want in life is outside of our comfort zone so be sure that you are facing your fears and going for your dreams, goals and visions. Your happiness depends on you stepping out in faith and facing your fears. Life is so much better when we trust the process and when we move towards faith over fear.

Is there something you want to do that is out of your comfort zone but if you face that fear you know it will bring you more happiness? I’d LOVE to hear about it. Please comment below.
