I read a study today that proved that our energy is contagious. That if we are negative, so do the people around us become. People are 50% more likely to become what they are surrounded by so in theory, we are responsible for what our friends, peers and family become as well. So today, be INSPIRED, positive, energetic or uplifting because you will be spreading that everywhere you go! Go share it and Live Inspired Now!

Sometimes you need to be assertive! Sitting back and passively letting others decide things for you won’t serve you nor will taking aggressive actions that make others feel abused. Being assertive means self advocating and speaking up for what you need without hurting anyone. I see people all the time settle for what they don’t want. For example, you might get the wrong meal in a restaurant and you really don’t want it but you eat it anyway. Or you get over charged for something but are too timid to speak up. You don’t have to be mean or yell but you can assert yourself and let people know that you would like something to be changed or fixed. Kindly and confidently explaining that this is not the meal that you ordered and asking for the correct meal will allow you to get what you want and make you feel proud too because you took care of needs! Nobody should have to be afraid to speak up! YOU are your best advocate, only YOU know what you want and how to get it. So today, speak up for yourself in a kind yet assertive way and Live Inspired Now!

Here is something you might not know about me:
I very much dislike hamsters! I had hamsters as a kid and they ate my favorite shirt! It was sitting next to their cage and they pulled it in and chewed holes in it. My dad then made them an amazing plexi-glass home, it was very large and had 2 levels. I did a report on the hamsters for science class and I brought them to school in their new see-through home. During my report, in front of the entire class, the hamsters DID it… yes IT!!! Let me tell you… that is something that could ruin a 7th grader! Then, a short time after that, a few weeks or months… I came home from school and heard an ominous sound. I looked all over the house for this noise that sounded like cereal crunching…. I found the sound. It was the hamsters, they had babies and were eating them. OHHHHH MY GOSHHHHHH!!!!!!! That was IT! I was so upset, I had no idea they would have babies, let alone eat them. It was one of the most disgusting and gruesome things I had ever seen. Well, after that, the hamsters were re-homed. I love animals, but I am NO fan of hamsters!

Very often I hear people say “What am I going to do with all this extra….” or “I have so much….. and I have no idea what to do with it.” So why not share it? In my house, we always have extra fresh eggs because we raise our own chickens, so I share them with friends, neighbors and even a few students. If you have an extra amount of goodies because you baked too much, or you got a bunch of extra “something” because you hit a good sale, just share it! You can always store things for later, but sharing feels so great and sometimes you could be sharing with someone who is in need and you don’t even realize it! So today, share the extra, see how great it feels to give beyond self and Live Inspired Now!
