May Vibes - Boundless Bliss

Sunday morning coffee in hand and reflecting on my current May Favorites. Before jumping into my thoughts I must digress and say, coffee is a must every morning. It definitely makes the world go round and keeps me moving in the forward direction, which is the only way to go. Who is with me? What is your favorite brand or type of coffee?

Life – “Me” Time

Life lately has been a tad bit CRAZY. While I am not ready to divulge all the details of what exactly is going on and making our lives so crazy, I will share soon. With the craziness going on I have had to make sure I do “me” to keep myself balanced. I understand doing you can be hard. I know a lot of people put themselves on the end of the TODO list for the day. The TODO list that clearly doesn’t have an ending, and so you never get to you. I want you to put yourself first for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. Do something nice for yourself. This helps keep me mentally flourishing and ready to face anything that comes my way.

I really started doing “me” time after we suddenly last my Dad. This was a way to “try” to keep myself a float. Since then I have implemented this as an everyday must. Whether I go get myself a good coffee, grab ice cream or just watch a half hour of a show or movie I like on Netflix or HBO. No matter how big or small, I always do a little me.

Reading

I love to read. While time is of the essence and some days it doesn’t get done, I try to read daily. Reading is great for the mind and helps keep those action potentials in the brain a firing away. I always have a “fun” book and a professional development book going at the same time. What is a “fun” book? I tend to love romance novels and so these are what I read for fun. I do condone to always keep reading professional development books. None of us is perfect and we all can use some improvement. Books I am currently reading:

Professional Development: Rich Bitch (book review will come soon)
Fun Book: Fixed Trilogy

What are you reading? I always love recommendations both professional and fun.

Quotes

Quotes are a definite must in my life as well. There are so many amazing people out there that have said some fabulous things. Head over to my instagram (@j_hotter) for some of my favorite quotes. The fabulous blogger Courtney Shields, also has some fabulous motivation. Head over to her blog (www.byobeauty.com) and follow her on instagram for additional inspiration.

May Fitness

I have been running quite a bit lately. The weather has been extremely nice in Colorado and I figure why not get outside and enjoy it. In addition to running this month I have been obsessed with the “Super Twist Core Series” on the Nike Training app. If you do not have the app currently, it’s a must download from the app store. The best part is it’s free and the workout videos on it are free as well.
