We're heading into the holiday hoopla-happiness-haze that lasts until the kids go back to school in the Perry household. I am looking towards 2013 with some new goals. I wanted to take a moment to encourage you all to look at resolutions for yourself...with joy, not self-doubt and dread. Focusing on what you want is always good. Even if you're not even close to where you want to be with your goal, I believe in you. I believe it is possible. I'm going to share what mine was last year.
January 1st of 2012, I started the day with a polar plunge into the frigid Atlantic Ocean in a bikini. I wanted to look rockin' in a bikini for the summer and started to envision that happening. I got myself mentally geared up, but didn't really commit until February 28th. That is when I was ready. And I achieved my goal. It really wasn't about a number, it was about a feeling. I wanted to really be comfortable with my body. I wanted to get lean, but I really wanted to feel like a Queen. When you want to lose weight, it can help you to see the pounds dropping on that scale. But it doesn't happen overnight, so weighing yourself no more than once a week is beneficial. You almost have to ignore what is, your current you, and just look forward. KNOWING that each meal, each workout, each day is creating this new you. It will pay off. You know this. It's science. After having four kids, I know how to lose weight and have been up and down. This time, I knew feeling good is an inside job. I looked at what I ate and how I exercised as just choices. Not good or bad, just choices. If I made them good or bad, I'd make me good or bad. I really made my goal about being strong. Try that one on for size, instead of saying: "Ugh, I'm so fat. I NEED to lose weight, but I hate to exercise....blah, blah, blah." Say: "I'm getting in shape this year. I am going to be so strong. I can't wait to see what I can do. There are great meals I can come up with. I'll make it an adventure to see what exercise I like." See how much the energy changes. YOU CAN CHANGE. If you want to change something, you can. Enjoy your journey whatever it is.
Now losing weight may not be your goal and it doesn't matter what it is. Love yourself first. Always feel like a Queen...or King. But if you absolutely hate everything right now and force yourself to make changes, you're looking at circumstances which ultimately are not what make you happy. You do. And really examine what your goals are and why you want them. They have to be for you. Listen to your heart whispers. What are they telling you? Have you always wanted to do something? Do you know something needs to change? Does the Universe keep giving you signs? Not reaching outside of your comfort zone keeps you comfortable, which is not living up to your full potential. Some moments along your journey shake you up, bring up doubt, making you question yourself. This is good. Then you see what you are made of. Don't let stress or being uncomfortable stop you from your goal. They're just growing pains. Even this week, I was dealing with stress and self-doubt crept its ugly head up and I had to decide what to do. I felt extremely uncomfortable and trusted that it would be okay. It will be okay. I choose me. And I want you to choose you. I am cheering you on and know that 2013 is YOUR year! Maybe this is your sign from the Universe. If it touches your heart, it is. I believe in you. Before the clock strikes midnight, commit to writing down goals for 2013. Let your imagination go wild with possibility for what your life could look like. What do you want to feel in 2013? Dream big! Next will come the steps to get there, but first declare what you want to the Universe. GO________(insert your name), GO! Got my sparkly pom-poms and I am rooting for you, Kings & Queens!!! Woohoo!!!

Silly Pickle Dilly
This morning, I was getting stuff ready to make breakfast for my lil' guys. I was talking to my hubby, who has been working CRAZY hours, so I feel like I haven't seen him in a week. The fridge was open and my youngest, two year old Seamus, loves to grab anything he can, especially things on the shelves of the fridge door. He twisted pickle jar lid off, spilling pickle juice everywhere. I was so annoyed, all this frustration came out of nowhere and I started saying all this silly victim crap. Stay at home mom, BS thinking, I was really good at, years ago. Interesting reaction. Kind of like, yelling over spilled pickle juice, is the new crying over spilled milk. I let myself feel overwhelmed with trying to do EVERYTHING. My mind was racing. It's not even about getting everything done even, it's prioritizing what is important. Everyday I have to feed the kids, do laundry, dishes, pick up from activities, etc. I don't have to clean up the toys clean every night, but I do because I like that way. Not that I am neat freak, I have no time to be a neat freak. I try to fit in exercise at some point, most days. I meditate when my youngest two are sleeping, except last night, I was too burnt out. But I did get some writing done yesterday. It is always my goal to exercise, write, and mediate, so days like that I love. Because I follow the Law of Attraction and like to feel good, after two minutes, and I was clear and back to feeling grateful he has a job.
I changed my focus, and thought about all of things, in this past week that I really appreciated. Every time Seamus yelled out to Finnegan, pronouncing it as, "Cinnamon." It never gets old. And he says, "I lud de too," for I love you too. The time I was in the car with my Mom, and she she thought the song, "G6," they were saying, "Like a cheesesteak, high like a cheesesteak." Cheese stick sounds more like it though. And how Seamus pronounces her name, Gibby, as Buddy. The other day, Finnegan, who is five told me that Seamus's breath was chaotic. He proceeded to tell me lots of things were chaotic that day, even a giraffe, that he once saw at the zoo. I asked if he knew what it meant and he said no. That I have two new TV shows that I love. I love to watch TV, or read a book, at night after the kids are asleep. It's my "me" time. On Long Island Medium, the lady is adorable, and she's the real deal. And the show, Smash, where the cast is amazing talented. The one guy, who plays the director, is such a hottie too. As I really thought about how much I love in life, I looked out the window to abundant sunshine, and saw a vibrant blue sky. That is my natural state, happy.
Hours later, I was feeling that a friend of mine didn't think I was important. Which really had nothing to do with her. My feelings got hurt and I looked at the energy of it. I did not want to be upset, peace is what I like to feel, with everyone. WOW, lots of my fiery tiger feelings was coming up. I knew there was a juicy piece for me to learn. So I thought about all the friends that are important to me, even if I don't call them. I haven't returned one of my best friend's phone calls from the other day, not because she is not important, but I am busy. I released the feelings and underneath, I felt my truth. How am I not making myself important? Where am I not making myself important? How am I not making what I say, do, or write important? Times when I felt invisible came up. Do I not value myself? Hmm....I got the message from a energy worker that I needed to do this, making myself a priority. I thought I was. But I think the balance thing is so different for everyone. For instance, I have to clean up the toys every night, but don't mind if the laundry sits in a basket unfolded for a day. I am not trying to be Super woman, but maybe I was, in some ways. I was thinking, how can I make my writing more important. It is easy to write when my hubby is off. I know Danielle Steele, who has seven kids, wrote at night when her kids were little. That is not going to work for me right now. My brain doesn't work as well the, it requires meditation, TV, and a glass of wine. I really was so glad these feelings came up.
I didn't need to figure out how I am going to put myself more on the radar. Or how I am going to find more writing time? It was about realizing that in some ways, that I did not value myself. There is the part that doesn't really value what I write or say. I thought about times, that as a stay at home mom, that I didn't feel valued or important for what I did too. There is came again. Mixed with "I am worthy" stuff. What is my worth? My sassy spiritual sexpot side decided to chime in saying, "I am a friggin' ROCKSTAR!" Of course I am important, valueable, and worthy. Look at me! I am fabulous! I am wise, fun, creative, talented, and radiate love. I have so much to bring to this world, by shining my Light, who I really am. So release those self-esteem issues and step further into yourself. Don't worry about whether you are a good enough mother, writer, friend, wife, whatever! DUH, you are! Having awareness and releasing limiting beliefs frees you. And soon, you will have someone clean your house, so you can have a clean house and write. YES! That will be awesome! I love you! And you don't have to be super woman, but you can be Wonder Woman. LOL!" Yes, this was me talking to myself. Come on, we all do it.
Always remember your value and how important you are. Balance in your life is not the same for everyone. You make it work for your life. For me, I know that I have to write, it is in my soul. If I didn't, I would not feel fulfilled. And also, when emotions come up, look within and see what it is. Then release it and move on to what you want. Be easy on yourself. It's OK to need more "me" time than someone else. Or not like to have as much on your plate as someone else. We're all different. Another thing, when you think you have already learned a lesson, and it rears its ugly head again, don't be hard on yourself. It's like the peeling the layers of the onions. It's all good. Trust that. Being a positive person doesn't mean you never have negative moment, it's that you choose to not stay there. And ALWAYS Love yourself. I share my feelings, being authentic and open, so maybe someone will get some insight into their own life or they will learn something. Being yourself doesn't have to make you be vulnerable, it make make set you free. Namaste, Lovies, Shanti, Blessings, & all yummy delicious stuff to all of you!

What do you want?
Like the Spice Girls song goes, "So tell me whatcha want, what you really, really want....?" I have always observed myself, which drove me mad for many years. But being aware of your thoughts, holds the key. When you really ask yourself what you want, it opens up the energy. People say, I want to be rich or thin, those are external things. They can bring you happiness, but it is said whether someone wins the lottery or is paralyzed, they go back to their natural happiness level eventually. This makes total sense because happiness is a state of mind. Often we focus on what we don't want, rather than what we do want. Saying that I want others to treat me better, or be nicer, gives all your power away. And really, are you always to them, if you are talking behind their back, about how mean they are. They are showing up how you think they will. How often do you generalize, saying they are always mean to me. I caught myself doing that with my teenage daughter, saying you always or you never. I apologized and said that I would not generalize like that. Relationships have the power to teach us about ourselves. I would say that I wanted peace in our home but then if someone acted a way that I did not like, I didn't let it go right away. That was all ego-I need to be right-I am a victim. Peace has to trump ego's needs. When you decide you make your own happiness, you don't play victim, and if you catch yourself doing it...you STOP.
If you have the power to create the life you want, which you do, what would it look like? What do you want? I want to be rich! Well, me, I'm already rich. Feel what that feels like to say that, "I AM RICH!" To someone, you already are. But what would that make you feel, because it is all about what you want to feel. For some, it may be security, to me it means freedom. I love picturing myself jetting off somewhere, buying sparkly things, and helping people in many ways. It would be FUN. Fun & Freedom is what it means to me. If you are doing it to impress others or anything like that, it is about feeling good about yourself. I love seeing how our thinking can shift. We can shift our thinking, perspective, and focus on different things. This changes everything. You can't be afraid to look within. you are a beautiful being, without all the ego crap. Let that real YOU out, let him/her shine.
In asking yourself, "WHAT DO I WANT?"
1. I want more fun-so then so more fun things. If you intend to have fun and allow yourself to jump at the opportunities, and enjoy it, the Universe will yield to that. But ask, am I a fun person, maybe you need to lighten up. Start by dancing around your house. ;)
2. I want a great relationship. This applies whether you are in one or not. Focus on your happiness, no one else can give you that. If single-Enjoy your life, talk about people that have good relationships, and make a list of what kind of person you would like (go general). If in relationship you would like to improve-talk about what you like about your partner, let go of the past (start fresh), be nice to them, and make yourself happy. It sounds simple but when relationship are rocky, past dramas get brought up and the energy is yucky.
3. I want to be thinner, have a better body. Now, ask why do you want that? So others will think you are desirable, sexy, whatever. You are enough, you are worthy, you are wanted. Own that first. If your motives are about others, you give your power away and it will never be enough. You will never be filled up enough by others. If you want to feel better about you, for yourself, start loving yourself NOW. Talk nice to yourself, post affirmations everywhere, and honor your body. You body is an freaking, amazing, miraculous creation. And stop the judgement of yourself and others, just let it go when it pops up.
There are many more examples I could use but the point it, it's about thoughts and feelings and you have the power to change. Having studied the Law of Attraction and implemented it in my life, doesn't mean you are like a Stepford wife. I promise, you can still curse and drink wine. When you do start thinking differently, being the majority of your thoughts being positive, you attract more good thoughts. Isn't that cool? It means your head is in the clouds with rose-colored sunglasses on, looking at the bright side, drinking from a glass half full. Why wait and be happy later? When this, or that shows up, or goes away, or changes. To me, drama is stressful, to some it's exciting, where as being like me would be boring. Inner peace is bliss and anything but boring. You may still get annoyed, but it's the way you handle it, you don't dwell on it, or EVER live in the past. It's all about energy, baby! What energy are you putting out there, playing in, and vibrating. And biggest thing I want to remind you is, you cannot worry about what others will think. That is a life not lived. Be bold in who you are, even if that is a quiet book worm. Live YOUR life! I wish all of all all your heart's desires!!!
P.S. (as in Pretty Sexy-lol) If any of you are interested in changing you life, check out Oprah's Life class. It validates a lot for me and I've a gotten a few gems. I don't have to agree with everything either but positive TV rocks!
P.P.S. (Perfect Priceless Self-ahh yeah) If you want success, in business, it can be epic and rewarding, but it can't define you. You are an infinite being (soul), in a body, you are not a job title or label. That puts you in a box and then when you are not that, then you lose you you thought you were. Be fabulous! Lovies!

Because it’s true wealth
Affirm: I’m getting thinner,
And I’m always a winner

Fabulous Fitness!
The reason why having a personal trainer really helps people get in shape, is that they tell you that if you follow their advice, you will achieve your goal and that YOU CAN DO IT! There are many people that follow diets and work out, where it doesn't change anything because inside their thinking is doesn't match. I am going to make a short video soon that is going to be a PEP talk. I always responded to pep talks, lifting your spirits is always the best way to get started. There are two options that shift your thinking, so that your physical results will be optimal.
1. LOSING. You can focus on the losing weight part. Visualizing the excess weight falling away, as baggage that no longer serves you. You past, fear, doubts, whatever you are letting go of so that your body and spirit is lighter. Write down what the weight symbolizes on a piece of paper and throw it away, rip it up, or burn it. I find this works best for people that are eating to suppress emotions or to feel better. Affirm: I am getting lighter and shining brighter. I am getting thinner and I am a winner.
2. WINNING. You can focus on what you are winning in the process. During your fitness journey, you reveal a new body, and you must allow your thoughts to change in order for results to last. What are you getting out of it. For some, they are worried about eating to much or not exercising enough, and feeling like they are sacrificing too much, by not eating what they like or busting their butt doing hard workouts. Shift perspective to the winning aspect. You can list what you are winning on a piece of paper and post it so you can stay motivated. This is what I am doing and I love seeing my body build muscle, become more flexible, and finding more endurance. Affirm: I am strong, flexible, and sexy. I have lots of endurance, grace, and energy.
~WINNING more (examples)
1. Healthy cells
2. Muscle tone
3. Endurance
4. Self-esteem
5. Flexibility
6. Energy
7. Good energy/feelings (endorphins)
8. Sex appeal (this is because you are feeling better)
What makes you feel good is the best for you. Feeling healthy and alive ROCKS! Make sure you are having fun, remember dancing is great cardio. Trust your body, take it cues, and figure out what it likes. Yoga, cardio, walking, weight-training, running, Pilates, Zumba, and whatever other exercise ALL works. Don't ever beat yourself up for not being a runner or that you are not coordinated for aerobics. Variety is the spice of life and everyday they will come up with new things to try. Isn't that awesome? We'll never get bored. Try walking and then lifting some weights, super-charging your life with positive affirmations. If you change your body, but don't change your inner dialogue, you will never be thin enough/satisfied/happy. Talk nice to yourself and you will love your body. I am cheering you ALL on!!!

Affirm Bootylicious style
Fitness is many things to many people. You can be at war with it, your body, or food. Beating yourself to get a hot bod is not really going to bring you the you joy you are seeking. Being positive, full of energy, and getting moving is a BRILLIANT idea. I was inspired today when I was doing lunges to do affirmations, to motivate myself to finish. "I am a sexy bitch," was the first thing that came to mind. And because like attracts like, more flooded my head. I thought, why not, infuse my workout with affirmations.
First, ask yourself, why am I working out? What is my intention? Mine is to be strong and fit and FEEL GOOD. Adding affirmations is going to supercharge your workout. You are giving your body, extra oxygen, movement, attention, intention, endorphins and love. Now, let's get moving. Here's a list of affirmations that you can use during any exercise or just whenever you feel like it! My goal is to inspire you all to love yourself. I am not a fitness expert, my focus is for you to feel good. I have been bulimic, anorexic, lost weight, gained weight, and have found my answer finally and for good. I wanted to feel good. I thought looking good would make me feel good. The key is, it is all in your thinking. The more you think positively on a conscious level, it will sink into you subconscious and you will start thinking more good thoughts. YOU CAN DO IT! YOU ROCK! Other recommendations are "The Secret" and "The Power" by Rhonda Byrne, Louise Hay is the Queen of affirmations and anything from Abraham-hicks. My goal is to inspire you all to love yourself. Here's a list of affirmatons to use during exercise or whenever you feel like it.

"I AM a Vivacious, Voluptuous Vixen!"
"I AM Delicious, Dynamic Diva!"
"I AM a Sassy, Strong Sexpot!"
"I AM a Amazing, Ablicious Angel!"
"I AM a Magnificent, Muscular Muffin!"
"I AM a Fabulous, Fit Female!"
"I AM a Healthy, Happy Hottie!"
"I AM a Bodacious, Beautiful Babe!"
"I AM a Planking Princess!" (Good for Pilates)
"I AM a Luscious, Lovely Lady!"
"I AM a Fierce, Flexible Fox!"
"I AM a Sexy, Strong Stud!" (For men)
"I AM a Workout Warrior!"
"I AM Toned, Thin, & Trim!"
"I AM the exercise Queen!'
"I have a rockin' body!"
"I AM A ROCKSTAR!" (always a powerful one)
"I AM a Sexy Bitch!" (hehe)
~Beginning with just a walk is a great start. I love walking outside, it connects me with nature and my Higher self at the same time. If you are not feeling good, in any way about yourself, start warming up your mind. Saying things like "I love the sky. I love the trees. I love the flowers." And hey, you can say "I love chocolate, your kids, wine," or whatever makes you feel a little better, By softening your mood, you will be more receptive to affirmations about yourself. Saying "I am beautiful" is a perfect affirmation, to get in the groove. It doesn't matter about whether your hair is in a bun on top of your head, you have a zit, or you have weight to lose. It is inside of you. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! YOU ARE WORTHY! Remember, don't compare anyone's weight loss, body, or journey to yours. It dishonors both of you, creating competition. When you start talking nice to yourself, things will change for you in many wonderful ways. I am cheering for you ALL!!!
