Day 1: Thoughts inspired by my music shuffle Song: "My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness"- Keith and Kristyn Getty "The heart that gives thanks is a happy one, for we cannot feel thankful and unhappy at the same time." - Douglas Wood Have you ever noticed how when you force yourself to smile, your mood seems to automatically improve? Doing an action we may not feel like doing can result in actually experiencing the feelings we couldn't find before. Sometimes it's really hard to find something to be thankful for, and if you find yourself in that situation today, you're not alone. Find one thing that you're thankful for. Just one, and then use it to branch off into other good things related to it. Here are some suggestions: - I have a job - The sun is shining - I have food to eat today - I am able to breath Remember, there is always a light that can pierce the darkness, even if it is only the light of a firefly :) What are you thankful for today?

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: five golden rings. Five golden rings represent value, achievement, and enduring commitment—much like the Gift of Resilience and Persistence. In 2024, resilience and persistence are the golden traits that have helped us overcome challenges and achieve our dreams. 💪 Why this gift matters: 1️⃣ Resilience builds strength: Every setback we face teaches us to bounce back stronger. 2️⃣ Persistence drives success: The path to success is rarely smooth, but those who persist keep moving forward. 3️⃣ Endurance creates value: Just like gold, resilience and persistence never lose their worth. 4️⃣ They inspire others: Your determination motivates everyone around you to keep going. 5️⃣ They create your legacy: Every challenge you overcome becomes part of your unique story. ✨ Celebrate this gift today: Reflect on one moment this year when resilience or persistence helped you achieve something meaningful. Write it down, celebrate it, and use it as fuel for the challenges ahead. 💬 What’s been your “golden ring” moment of resilience this year?

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: nine ladies dancing. Nine ladies dancing symbolize grace, rhythm, and artistry—the perfect representation of the Gift of Creativity and Expression. In 2024, this gift has inspired us to share our unique voices and bring beauty into the world. 🎨 Why creativity and expression matter: 1️⃣ Innovation: Creativity leads to groundbreaking ideas and solutions. 2️⃣ Individuality: It allows us to share our unique perspectives and stories. 3️⃣ Problem-Solving: Thinking creatively helps us overcome challenges in new ways. 4️⃣ Emotional Outlet: Expression provides a safe space for emotions to be explored and shared. 5️⃣ Community: Creative projects bring people together through shared passions. 6️⃣ Growth: Trying new forms of expression pushes us out of our comfort zones. 7️⃣ Inspiration: Creative works motivate and uplift others. 8️⃣ Legacy: Art and ideas outlive their creators, leaving lasting impressions. 9️⃣ Joy: The process of creating is as fulfilling as the results. ✨ Celebrate this gift today: Take a moment to express yourself—write, paint, dance, or even brainstorm a creative solution at work.

“You are already standing on a mountain of value. Your story is valuable, your experience is unique and you are highly valuable just as you are."–Daniel Priestley. Are you feeling stuck in a performance plateau? 🎭 If you've been consistently hitting the gym, attending dance classes, and taking vocal lessons, but still not seeing the improvement you crave, it might be time to look at the bigger picture. 💡In my experience, performers get so busy looking around to see what other mountain they should be climbing that they aren't appreciating the one they are already standing on. So many performers run around trying to improve themselves by taking extra dance classes or vocal lessons, when the problem is that their current lifestyle isn't supporting their performance goals. The truth is... 🔵 If you aren't sleeping at least 7 hours each night... it will negatively impact your performance 🔵 If you regularly skip meals...it will negatively impact your performance 🔵 If you aren't managing your stress or making time for your loved ones... it will negatively impact your performance You already have a lot to offer. You are unique, talented, and dedicated. It's time to make sure that your lifestyle is supporting you in showcasing that✨

The word is: Trymonition!
