I don't believe there is such a thing as balance. I have a very strong work ethic. I love working. I love doing things I am passionate about. When it's time to work I get the job done. When it's time for family or fun - I have fun, I am present and in the moment. I think that's what truly counts. Believing in a work/life balance caused 3 things for me:  mom guilt anxiety wanting to give up  Listen in for why a work/life balance doesn't work and what you can do instead.  www.lovemoreliveblessed.com  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lovemoreliveblessed/support

What happens when you let go of the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)? I wasn’t happy for so many years for one simple reason: I chose not to be happy. I chose wishing and holding back instead of living and loving in the moment. When I finally adopted the mindset of “what is meant for me will make its way to me” I let go of FOMO. I started living in the I’m happy right now instead of the I’ll be happy when... Have you ever been in the “I’ll be happy when” phase? What’d you do to change your mindset?

How to make people feel good around you The most important thing to remember is this: you won’t be positive all the time. Life is crazy, right? Those curve balls come out of nowhere and hit us where it hurts. But, it’s up to you to decide how you react to it. You can do things to make you feel better and get you out of that mood. Or you can let the negativity sink in and let it seep out into others. Yeah, don’t that. Don’t let your negativity creep out and ruin someone else’s day. That is the opposite of what we’re trying to do! So remember, even if you’re having a bad day, you can still make other people feel good around you. Step 1: Use the other person’s name People love hearing their name. Using someone’s name helps you remember it and makes the other person feel more comfortable around you. When people hear their name they turn towards whoever is speaking to them. We are programmed since childhood to give attention to someone who is speaking our name. Tip: When meeting new people try to write their name

Sometimes the first thing that pops into my head when I think of a person, or myself, or one of my goals is something negative. Maybe it's something I do not like about a person, or something I don't like about myself, or feeling like my goal is too big and unattainable.  Does that ever happen to you?  Listen in for ideas on what I do to get out of the negativity mindset.  Get the resources for positivity by signing up for my email list by clicking here.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lovemoreliveblessed/support

 I really do believe that you become like the 5 people you hang out with the most. And it's kind of crazy because  I can think back through my life when I was hanging out with different people and I can see I was making bad choices and doing things I wouldn't wouldn't do now and probably shouldn't have been doing then.  Back then I had and hung out with people who had:  a victim mentality  always complaining but never wanting to create changes in my/their lives always worried about what everyone else was doing felt like everything bad was always happening to me/them  Ugh. I don't even like writing that out. Thank goodness for change!  So my question is this: Are you able to distance yourself from negative people? If yes, how?  Listen in for some feedback from other people who are able to create the distance!  Follow along on IG @lovemore_liveblessed  Please take a moment to review this podcast.
