Compartmentalize. Hard to say, sometimes hard to do. When our minds start racing and multi-tasking goes bonkers on us... compartmentalize. One task at a time, one thought process at a time and get stuff done. Also remember to let it all go when you're relaxing, enjoying time with friends and…
A moment to breathe. Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves, get rushed, get… well you know things just snowball. Here’s a little reminder to take a step back and breathe.
Positive Social Media can your day that much better! Weed out the garbage; the toxic people, negativity within Twitter, FaceBook, etc... and add/maintain the things that can make our day better and keep us on a positive, "can-do" path. Hey, we all go to our phones several times a day…
Get It Done Today... we all procrastinate but it's usually just a matter of getting started, amiright? Robert Griffin III (RGIII) is a great follow and always has positive messages - this is one of them. Hope you like, get it done, and... you know I love all y'all!
The Present is Perfect. Absolutely true. So many times we worry about the future or try to relive the past... today let's try to live in the now, and enjoy the present. Whatever you're doing or whoever you're with, make the most of it. Full podcast coming up and thanks…
The Law of Attraction is one of the 12 Universal Laws of the Universe. Full podcast on that to come, but wanted to focus on this one for a minute. It all comes back to "we are what we think about all day long". Good stuff (I think), so much…
Maybe raindrops are falling where you are, or maybe you're just a little gloomy. Do something useless and give your mind a break - shuffle papers, watch a movie... anything to break out of that funk. Works for me. Thanks and love all y'all!
The Four Agreements (A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom) is a wonderful short read by Don Miguel Ruiz. Your buddy Steve (Me!) breaks down each "agreement" and it's just another reminder for ourselves that life doesn't have to be complicated. We sometimes do it to ourselves (myself included of course).…
Everybody screws up. Fact of life and it's almost guaranteed I'll screw up immediately upon finishing this post. But it's fine. Really. Don't beat yourself up; put it in the rearview and let's roll. Too many good things ahead yall. Love you one and all and have a great day!
Choose to be happy today - or as Abe Lincoln (among others) is noted for this saying "Be as happy as you choose to be". Circumstances dictate our moods and emotions at times - and rightfully so - but if you're just in a crummy mood or silly stuff is…
Stop Doing Things You Don't Enjoy Doing! Why do we do things we think we "have to", or are "expected to"? Even worse, because we feel a "responsibility to". Easy to say, hard to do, but our main responsibility is to our own happiness. So there. Hey love all y'all!
Yup the good ol’ Golden Rule, or as Bill and Ted would say “Be excellent to each other!”. A short lil reminder here… love all yall 😍.
Fear not and embrace the day! Forget all of the negative FEAR acronyms (False Evidence Appearing Real) and others NSFW lol... here's a good one: Face Everything And Rise. Yes, fear is real, but no, it does not control our lives. Not now, not ever. Have a great day and…
Take a step forward and stop waiting for the other shoe to drop! When things snowball a bit - not in our favor - we can sometimes get caught up "waiting for the other shoe to drop" and lose focus of the good things we have in store. That first…
This too shall pass; whether it's a crummy virus or just stuff driving you bananas in your life, sometimes you've just gotta let it run its' course. When you've tried every possible remedy, remember... this too shall pass. Love all y'all!
The gift of time is precious - we can never get it back. Episode 12 of SMFRThePodcast (now up on Apple/Spotify/Google etc and also on SMFRThePodcast.com) tells how my dear friend Bill battled cancer but never let that gift get away. He lived every day for his family and friends…
Be thankful for what you've got y'all. Sometimes we all take life in general for granted. Upon attending the 35th Annual Guns 'N Hoses event in St Louis (benefit for the families of fallen Firefighters/Police/ EMTs), it reminded me to pause and be thankful. We all try to do so,…
Focus on yourself, not others. Sometimes we can let other influence our thinking - whether it's someone at work making a snide comment, or perhaps you have a narcissist in your life who believers it's their mission to tear you down constantly. Happens to me, happens to all of us.…
Look forward to each day - you betcha! Weather changes drastically sometimes, but our moods don't have to (unless you're bummed out, then embrace the new day yup). Every day is a new opportunity; let's put our best face on and face it head on. Love all y'all and thanks…
