JOY is my make-up

JOY to me means God within.

When people ask me why I smile I say, Jesus- JOY-and -Mary Kay.
It might sound cheesy but it’s the truth. I would not be the women I am today with out Jesus dying on the cross for me and guiding & directing my life.

I choose Joy and try to be positive in all circumstances. My mother showed me this example throughout my life. I don’t remember my mother ever being negative, not smiling, or not finding the good in things and in others. She would always be joyful, positive, see the best in others and made you feel important. When people say I dont know how you are Soo positive and see the best in others, my response is “you haven’t met my mother”. I only hope to be half the mother she was to my children.

Last but not least I love my job. I love encouraging and bringing out the best in women. God knew the perfect career for me and he choose it for me before I was born. I’m glad I listened to his voice and felt the fear anyway and just began. There were many fearful moments in the beginning of my business. Being shy, not having business experience, being young and caring what people thought. But the moment I moved past that and let God work for me everything turned to gold.
When you love what you do you don’t work a day in your life!

I think every day we choose to be Joyful or not.

It is easy to be joyful in the good times, the up times, the happy times, on the Mountain Tops. But JOY really shines in the valleys, when you are having those trying days, those days you just want to crawl back in bed and put the covers over your head.

What is a JOY filled life?

As humans we look for JOY in all the wrong places. We look on the outside (house, clothes, vacation, job, boyfriend, husband,etc.)not inside. The secret to JOY is found on the inside.
Living with JOY doesn’t make your life perfect. It means that you trust God to direct your life, to believe he has great plans for you regardless of what’s going on.
JOY is the outward sign of faith. It is a way of acting, and it’s evident in spiritual growth.

How do you gain more JOY?
* You make a decision to never settle for having anything less than real joy.
* Keep your thoughts fixed on God
* Mental discipline to focus on the good and all that’s going on right.
* Deliberately work on your mental game. Focus on progress and daily improvements.
* Focus on the present. When we focus on the past that can bring happy and sad memories. When we think of the future we could tend to worry. Be in the present!
•Wake up grateful for every breath. …
•Bless others…..
•Listen. …
•Cherish friendship. …
•Laugh. …
•Sing and dance.

The secret conversations you have with yourself are shaping your destiny!

So let’s start today by having a joyous conversation.

Joyfully –

New Year and New you!

Caye HoweBlog

New years are EXCITING!!!

To me it means…,

Fresh new start

New beginnings

Clean slate

There is nothing like beginning something new right? Whether it is a new workout, a new relationship, a new home, a new outfit, new city, new business, etc.

Everything is great in the begining! It’s in the MIDDLE where we stop, stall, re-think whether we should finish goal, or maybe justify slowing down or not completing something.

Anytime I have been in the middle of completing a workout or something to move me further in my business I try to think of the end result. I live in my VISION and not in my reality.

This helps to stay the course! So if you want to lose 10 pounds think of how you will feel when you reach that goal, visualize how you will look like , the new outfit you might buy, the compliments you will receive, & how you will feel.

Maybe it’s a goal in your business and things are getting tough or maybe things aren’t working out like you planned,so you second guess yourself.

Basically, set a new goal, don’t stop on the middle. The middle is where you need preservenice and staying power. Your mind is so powerful. You got this girl!

Make this your year to SHINE!!

10 tips on achieving your goals:

Choose one word to represent your year. Pray about it. This word could come to you in a dream, driving, reading a build board, prayer, etc.

When you hear this word It makes you want to move, do more, and be better.

Put your word everywhere as a reminder.

2. Choose a bible verse to go with your goals. Post this verse where you get ready in the morning, on your phone, refrigerator, etc.

3. Take time to write out a goal poster or vision board as visual reminders of your goals. Look at them every morning getting ready or before bed.

4. When writing out goals write out long term goals (5-10yrs out), mid term goals (1 year our) and short term goals (a few months out.)

5. Be SPECIFIC when writing goals. Make them SMART

S-specific

M- measurable

A- achievable

R- realistic

T- timely

Share your goals with others for accountability.
Break your goals down to monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly.
Don’t beat yourself up if you fall off track just get started again. When losing track go back to your why and your vision.
Before bed write out 6 of the most important things to do for the next day so you start your day ready to go and accomplish things.
Live in your VISION and not in your reality. If you rely on feeling like doing something it will not happen.

Focus on the feeling of having that goal accomplished. How will it feel finishing the goal,who will congratulate you, what will you be able to do with the goal accomplished, etc..

Just keep DREAMING!

I know 2018 will be ABUNDANT!

Love
