Hello May

Happy May Day—or, if you’re in Hawai’i, Happy Lei Day—to everyone! Today is the midway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice; we are halfway to summer, y’all! Spring has fully kicked in, and we’re well on our way to hotter days and cool nights filled with the sounds of crickets and frogs. Beach days are here, bees are buzzing, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and there are a plethora of good things happening out there in the world right now, so remember to take some time to slow down and appreciate all of the good in your life.

Life is good in so many ways. There is always something out there to be thankful for, to look forward to, or to simply admire because it exists. Take a step back and think about all of the good things that you have going on in your life or something good that you heard about going on in the world. Shift your focus away from the negative energy and negative vibes that others may have or that you may have acquired from watching the news. There is more good in this world than bad, and far more good than you may realize.

This month of May is the perfect time to take in all of the wonderful sights around you. There is bound to be something around you that you can be thankful for and appreciate. Spring is at its peak, and there are going to be sights and smells that you won’t get until next year. Take the time to appreciate all of the little things that you can experience this time of year. Live fully in the moment, take time to smell the flowers, look at the moon, say “Hi!” to a bird, do all of these things, and do them all with a mindset of slowness and presentness.

May is named for the Roman goddess Maia, who oversaw the growth of plants. Plants are a great way to bring a little more sunshine and positivity into your life, and this month is absolutely perfect for them. Whether they are wild or houseplants, any plant will brighten up a room and bring a smile to your face. I feel like too many people have welcomed the blue light of screens over the greenery of nature nowadays. We need to get back to nature and to experiencing life the way it was meant to be lived (which is not behind a screen all day).

May this May bring you loads of joy and happiness and a deeper appreciation for all of the goodness that surrounds you. Maybe go buy a houseplant or some flowers for your home and see how quickly it brightens a room. Remember to take a lesson from the sea turtle and just slow down in life and take time to truly appreciate all that life has to offer you. There is too much good in this world to be in a constant state of negativity. Look a little harder and find the good in each and every day. And a Happy May to all of you! Aloha! 🤙

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...

Fire It Up Friday

Happy Friday! Y'all know what time it is! It's that time of the week where we list the things that we look forward to; it's Fire It Up Friday! There is so much in life to look forward to, so let's help each other out by naming the things that we're excited for. I'll start us off by saying that I'm excited to go to the beach tomorrow. Beach time is always a good time. I'm gonna have ice cream for lunch and hopefully hit plenty of waves! Life gives us so much to hope for; it's hard to see the bad when you're so focused on all of the good things headed your way. There's always something to be excited for, even if it's not your next concert or your next beach day; it can be as simple as waking up tomorrow morning to spend a relaxing day at home or being excited for your next cup of coffee. If it makes you happy, it's worth being excited for. Let everyone know what you're looking forward to in the comments. Have a great weekend, everyo...
