  • What Do You Feed Your Mind?

    Hey SL Fabz!

    I trust you’re having a beautiful weekend.

    I recently had a conversation with someone about the importance of feeding your mind with positive things which I want to share with you today.

    Do you know that anything you expose your senses to, begins to program your mind thereby creating your reality? You can fill your mind with negative or positive things. The choice is yours.

    What comes out of your mouth is determined by what goes into your mind. You are the books you read, the movies you watch, the music you listen to, the people you spend time with, the conversations you engage in. Choose wisely what you feed your mind.

    Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it faith. Feed it truth. Feed it with love. The more you feed your mind the healthy thoughts it needs, the stronger you become.

    Don’t let people and situations weigh you down. Take charge of what goes in to your mind today. What you tell yourself will either lift you up or tear you down. Choose the positive side!

    I hope these words encourage you and I wish you the very best of the weekend!!!

    xoxo

  • Choose Friends Who Influence You Positively

    The people who you keep close will have a huge impact on your life.

    Choose friends that will hold you accountable, be honest with you, and encourage you towards your goals and dreams. When you share your time with people that build you up and encourage you, then you can build lasting relationships. These relationships contribute directly to true happiness.

    Studies show us that happy people that have better social relationships have more pleasant everyday lives. Put your
    energy towards building meaningful deep relationships, even if it means having fewer of them.

    Fill your inner circle with those who radiate positivity and lift you higher, bringing you feelings of happiness on an ongoing basis.

    Let’s celebrate our friends today. Who is that friend who influences you in a positive way?

  • Simple Ways to Practice Gratitude

    Feeling grateful about my life is something I never feel ashamed of; in my opinion, every moment should be cherished. But sometimes I tend to focus on the negative and forget ways to be grateful, even when it feels like things are just not going my way.

    You might not be able to control every aspect of your life, but you can control your outlook on it. And what’s a better way to live than with gratitude and positivity?

    As soon as you wake up, resist the urge to reach for your phone and check your emails or messages. Make the first thing you do that day be an act of gratitude. If we want to express love and gratitude for others, we have to have it for ourselves first.

    Practising gratitude is something you can do easily. For example, you can start making “please” and “thank you” phrases that you use often when asking and getting help from others. You can also spend a few minutes at the end of the day writing down five things you feel most grateful for from that day.

    Some days you will write without feeling a shred of gratitude. That’s OK. Just do it anyway. And when you can summon up the feeling of gratitude in your heart, let it pass through every cell in your body. Embody it. Place your hands on your heart. Raise your head, lift your self up.

    Move into the feeling. Dance it. Sing it. Aspire to a fullness of heart, no matter what is going on around you.

  • Monday Motivation: Practice The Pause

    A brand new week is at your doorstep. It’s my prayer that this week brings you more joy than you’ve ever imagined! Let’s all keep our minds busy on all that is pure, true, noble, admirable, excellent, lovely, and praiseworthy.

    Sometimes things get hectic, or maybe confusing. But I’ve found something that works for me all the time which I’d like to share with you today.

    Just PAUSE.

    This image below says it all:

    Clipboard23 And I’d like to add: Whenever the situation looks bleak, take a deep breath…everything is going to be OK. #FaithOverFear #MondayMotivation #YoureNotAlone #ShineStrong

    Stay positive, stay hopeful.

    Work hard for what you want because it won’t come to you without a fight. Keep on believing in yourself and stay blessed.

    Have a lovely week!

  • Remind Yourself Of These Everyday

    Life is a blessing worth appreciating every day. In a world full of chaos, anxiety and stress, it is rather easy to be negative and burdened with our life. However, on this 14th day of March, I’d like us to stay positive and reflect on 14 things worth reminding ourselves about everyday.

    There’s always a way out, you just have to find it
    What other people think is irrelevant
    Your life is your design
    The important people in your life deserve both respect and attention
    Count your blessings, not your troubles
    Whatever makes you cry today can make you laugh tomorrow
    Positivity is a choice you can make
    If you carry the bricks of your past with you, you will build the same house
    Success is a lifestyle, not a result
    Not getting what you want, sometimes, is the best thing that could happen
    True love is rare, don’t take it for granted
    Good things in life end too soon when they aren’t appreciated
    Nothing wastes more energy than worrying
    When things least seem like they are going to change, that is usually when they do

     It’s a great day. Make the best of it!

  • 5 Positive Words To Live By This Week

    Hey SL Fabz, this week is going to be awesome, I’m sure of it. Let’s strike out the negativity and stay positive while living by these 5 words:

    Love: Love is truly the greatest gift of all. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. When love is your guiding light, you can break through barriers to be of loving service to the world.

    Positivity: The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. Think positive in every situation and surround yourself with optimistic people who would not draw you back. Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results. Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

    Truth: Of all the traits the happiest people share in common, one outshines them all. In fact, without it, genuine happiness can’t exist. That trait is truthfulness.Tell yourself the truth always and be truthful to others. Don’t be dishonest or put up with dishonest people.

    Persistence:  Any great accomplishment that has ever been achieved has been brought about and made possible by an all important trait called persistence. The ability to hold on or to get back up after we have been knocked down is essential for us to achieve any real success, because there will be failures along the way and it’s how we deal with these failures that will determine the outcome of any endeavour that we undertake.

    Appreciation: Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, think about what you have that everyone else is missing. When you express your approval or gratitude for something someone has done to you, you will not only enhance their lives, but you will enrich yours as well.  You will feel more fulfilled because you have done something to make someone else’s life better.

    Stay positive and enjoy your week!

    2015 is a clean slate for me and positivity and I’m gonna make best use of this new start to change a number of things in my life.

    How about you? What are YOU going to leave behind in 2014?

  • Thank You For An Awesome Year!

    As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you for allowing me to be an important part of your daily life. It’s my privilege to serve you with daily inspiration, features, tips, entertainment and more from Stephaniedaily and a responsibility I take very seriously.

    I am honored and humbled by sharing of myself with my blog family (yes, I think of you as my family not just fans). Thank you for all the lessons of life you have shared with me in this brief span of time …I will often visit the things we have shared here, and look forward to the things we have yet to share, moving along in the walk of time.

    As I reflect on my life this past year … I think of all the changes and all the things that have not changed…

    The one thing that stands out for me is that I have had some awesome and amazing people visit my life, leaving with me some wonderful times, some sad times, some deeply serious times and sometimes full of silliness and fun.

    This past year I have discovered how truly lucky I am to have family and friends who have supplied an incredible amount of support and comfort during my time of need. It is humbling to realize how much people care about you, and how much they are willing to do to help you.

    May I always treasure the moments I find myself in, and know that it is where I find all my past and my future…. and you all will be in it.

    I have a deep conviction that 2015 is going to be an even better year and I’m eagerly looking forward to the new year with anticipation. Let’s forget all our worries, heartbreaks, negativity, temper, hate and move into the new year with focus, positivity and drive.

    The best is yet to come!

  • After the storm, comes the sun!

    We all go through difficult situations in our lives; it could be financial, a natural disaster that destroys our home and sense of well being, or it could be the sudden loss of a job or someone we love; whatever it is we can’t let these situations defeat us.

    It’s OK to take a moment to reflect and even cry but, once we let it all out, we have to wipe our tears away and move forward.

    There will be times when we find out just how strong we really are, and that we can overcome any obstacle that falls in our path, if we just believe in ourselves, and never give up.

    Don’t forget to smile when times are tough, take time to smell the roses, and to get rid of negative thoughts because when you are going through a difficult time you definitely need something positive to focus on during the storm.

  • 5 Negative Words To Remove From Your Vocabulary

    Negative self talk can do a great deal of damage to your self esteem. Words can shape our thoughts and help determine our actions. If you want to create a more positive outlook on life, there are negative words to remove from your vocabulary. You’ll be amazed by how much your attitude can change by altering the way you speak and think. Some of these words are:

    1. UGLY
    When you look in the mirror to find that you have some pimples on your face, don’t claim that you look ugly. It’s one of the negative words to remove from your vocabulary if you want to be happier with yourself. Once you stop calling yourself ugly, aloud and inside of your head, you’ll start feeling more beautiful.

    2. CAN’T
    Saying you can’t do something is a sure way to ensure your failure to achieve such a task. Like Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” Your mind will believe the words you say and the thoughts you think.

    Choose them wisely.

    3. USELESS
    Don’t ever trick yourself into believing that you’re useless. You may not have found your ‘purpose’ in life yet, but you’re still a valuable human being, so shower yourself in compliments. Treat yourself with respect.

    4. BUT
    Stop. Stop! Stop! Please stop building a case against yourself. Stop rationalizing your excuses, procrastination or lack of productivity. “I want to do this, but…”, “I have always wanted to_________, but…” Stop making it so easy to talk yourself out of action. If you didn’t do something you said you would, or didn’t do something that you wanted to – own it, adjust, and move on. Don’t make excuses or rationales with the word ‘but’ because as we know, when we tell ourselves the same thing over and over again…we start to believe it. Don’t talk yourself out of your highest life.

    5. KILL
    No matter how angry you get at someone, never tell them to kill themselves or claim that you want to kill them. Even though it’s clear you’re not being serious, it’s something that should never leave your mouth. Stick to saying peaceful things and you’ll become a more peaceful person.

    SL Fabz, do you have any more negative words to add to this list? Do you agree that saying such negative words could affect your self esteem?
