Okay, guys, we all know running a business can be stressful. And we've talked about before how taking the time for self-care is SOOOOO important. Well, have I got something for you!!!

For the past month or so, I’ve been doing this FREE 30-Day Yoga challenge, and it has been AMAZING. IMPORTANT NOTE: Prior to this journey, I had only taken a few beginning classes here and there, and I still consider myself a newbie, so please don't be scared at the thought of trying this out if you have never done yoga before. 

Here's how it works...it doesn’t cost anything to sign up, and every day you get an email with a link to a brand new Yoga video, taught by this incredible instructor named Adriene. Most days the video is somewhere between 20-30 min long (first couple of days are a little longer because there is a lot of explaining and teaching going on), but the instructor is SO kind and gentle and truly a God-send. Some days are a bit more challenging (I found I had to take a few extra breaks and just spend a little more time in child’s pose), and some are easier.

But after only 30 days, I already feel SO much stronger, so much more connected, so much more calm. I have a tendency to be a bit of a workaholic, and a people-pleaser, and (as discussed earlier) I’m FINALLY figuring out how important it is that I make time for MYSELF...and this has been a good excuse/way/means to do so. I have no choice but to concentrate on ME during this special time each day. It has been SO incredibly helpful. I highly recommend checking it out.

And like I said, it’s totally free!!! Ya can’t beat that! 😁❤️🧘🏼‍♀️

Today I thought I would share one of the absolute BEST things being delivered to my inbox right now...and it's called I AM Mantra! It's a simple email containing a DAILY MANTRA, designed to "support you & your awakening," delivered straight to your inbox. I subscribed a couple of months ago, and I absolutely LOVE it!! It's crazy how much I actually look forward to finding it in my inbox each morning. :-)

As far as what to do with it after you receive it each morning, that's up to you. There really is no right or wrong way to "do" a mantra. But here are some suggestions from their website:

So what do I do with MY daily mantra? I copy and paste it into my OmniFocus as a daily task/reminder, and each time I go to OmniFocus to check my tasks for the day, I read it and repeat it, out loud (unless I'm with other people, then I do it silently so they don't think I'm completely off my rocker). I also repeat it a few more times just before I go to bed each night. It's really been a comfort to me, and it helps me keep things in perspective and stay focused on what's "important" throughout my day...especially when I start to get stressed or I am feeling particularly overwhelmed.

And guess what....not only is it a fabulous service, it's FREE!! Yep, that's right. Totally free. Since I have now been using a couple of months, and I have seen firsthand the immense benefits, I did decide to make a small donation on their website (which helps them keep doing what they are doing), but it is not required.

Did you know we can create custom branded social media posts for you? Here are just a few we did for our friends over at the "50 Pounds From Stardom" show (by the way, we also designed their website). These ladies are super fabulous and truly SOOOOOOO much FUN to work with...you gotta check them out! @50PoundsShow

Just wanted to take a quick moment to say Merry Christmas (or maybe just a simple "Happy Holidays," depending on what you celebrate at this time of year), and to say THANK YOU for a truly INCREDIBLE 2017! I could not have even imagined how quickly our little business would grow this past year, or how blessed we would be to have so many new, wonderful clients!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting us with your business and your vision. We are SOOO grateful for you. :-)
