Crazy Beautiful Twenty Eleven

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

-Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)

The year Twenty Eleven is going to be my best year yet. Why? Because I've decided to literally snatch my life by the throat and give it the best go I can! There are so many places I see myself...so many dreams and 11:11's that I'm tired of keeping to myself. In the coming month's, God Willing, I will  put my focus on Him, and concentrate on speaking my life into existence.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

-Romans 12:2

The Word of God says that so a man thinks, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). It is so important that the mind be renewed in order for the wonderful life that God has for you to be realized. Ever notice how confident, efervescent individuals tend to draw opportunities, great friends, and conquered goals?

With this in mind, I have abandoned the dreaded New Year's resolution list and instead taken on what I call a Life Book. It's my journal of infectious positivity, dreams, meanderings, pictures, and quotes that will edify and gird me on my journey to driving myself away from mediocrity.

What do you want to do this year? Explore the far reaches of your mind and heart, write those dreams down, and prepare yourself to receive all that you desire this year!

Tips on living a Forelsket life:

- Gratefulness: Be moved by the crazy beautiful moments in your life! Always be thankful for the many blessings you have around you. Nothing's too small. Perhaps dedicate a sheet of paper or a notebook to listing everything you're grateful for, then you can look back on it if you need reminding.

-Quit Overthinking: I am a serious overthinker. But I've learned that it is a key link in overwhelment and negativity. Nothing is too big, or grand for God to handle, and because He's in control, you can handle it all!

-Journal with pastings of goals, quotes, proactive chimera, sayings that inspire a better you.

-Positivity: I'm going to put my best foot forward and commit to eliminating all negativity from my vocabulary. Sometimes it seems we all give more play to all of the negativity that flies our way, than we are willing to give the positive alternate a chance.

-Speak Over Yourself: Your words are very important. Proclaim every wonderful word about yourself. You are beautiful, you can achieve any and everything you set your heart to do, you are wonderful and lovely....the list goes on! Don't just think these things, believe them and speak them. You'll be surprised how your thoughts and actions will change with your words!

-Vent positively: Get it all out, release it, 'Keep Calm, and Carry On.'


-Tackle it all: Allow God to help you overcome all previous fears, hang ups, or anything else that's stopped you from living the life you've always dreamed of!

-Extend Yourself: Look around. There are so many people to befriend, to help, to move with your story. Remember this as you go about your life! Want more inspiration? Check out Insignificant Things.

-Crazy/Beautiful Additions: Remember the small things that make you smile. It could be a soothing bath, a favorite flavored tea, an old independent bookstore, whatever suits your fancy. Make these moments a habit!

It's been a whole week since the New Year started! I'm sure you've compiled your New Years resolutions, but I hope by the end of the year, you can say that you've accomplished most, if not all of your aspirations for the year!

Get Going, You can Do it!
