Stop Worrying and Start Living

May 9, 2020 by maddie

“Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (Matthew 6:27)

In this society we live in today tells us we need to have this or that, or look like this, or buy that car, or have that person, or that job. This world is full of distractions and temptations to “satisfied”, but the thing is if we look to possessions or wealth to make us happy we will always whined up empty and then try to seek more and end up empty all over again. I believe it is because God has designed us to go to Him when we are “weary and burdened and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

What is worry?

Worry is something everyone has struggled with. It is also something that few people actually talk about because it is so present and alive in our lives. Worry is to way to anxiety and to allow one’s mind to dwell on difficulties.

There are two different types of worry:

  1. 1. Is solvable worry which means it has a solution.
  2. 2. Is unsolvable worry which means it is out of your control

How can we stop worry?

I truly believe the only way to really conquer worry is to figure out exactly what you are worried about? Okay so what do I mean by that? For example, if you are worried you are going to lose your job why? Lets say you lose your job, okay then you cant pay rent or car payment okay so then you will have to move back in with your parents and sell your car and buy a cheaper one. Okay so what you really worried about is what people think about you , not about losing your job. I hope this makes sense. Worry is something I have struggled with a lot, but doing this exercise has really helped me with combating what I am truly worried about.

The most important thing is you understand how to stop worrying starts and ends with you. But you cannot do it on your own. I truly believe you need Gods help in order to truly conquer any fear especially worry.

Why should we stop worry?

There are numerous bible verses telling us what to do about worry, and that the bible says we shouldn’t worry. God commands us not to worry, therefore we should stop worrying.

Philippians 4:6-7 – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”.

Proverbs 12:25 -“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.”

John 14:1 – “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

 

Life your best life today

I use to be the one to worry about everything. It got so bad I couldn’t even think straight. My whole day consisted about worrying about this and that. It wasn’t until I got sick and tired of worrying and when I figured out what I was truly worried about. Even when I prayed and asked God to help me I still struggled with it. It wasn’t until I truly realized why its wrong and what I could do to fix it. Now I still  struggle with it from time to time but nothing as bad as it was. If you are anything like me I pray and hope you may change and realize you can conquer your worries with Gods help and live out your dreams today! 🙂

Home Workout Routine

April 24, 2020 by maddie

Hi friends! I hope you having a great day so far! Today I am going to tell you about my at home workout routine. During this time we are spending at home, it can be super easy to do nothing, eat junk food and just watch TV all day. However, I advise you NOT to do that. Here is my workout routine that I have been following daily to insure I am hitting my fitness and health goals. I hope this helps someone out there! 🙂

Walk 10,000 steps everyday

Now this might sound crazy, but here me out. Our bodies need exercise. Our bodies are designed for exercise. Therefore, we must be sure we are getting exercise every single day. 10,000 steps might seem like a lot, but its really not. 2,000 steps = about 1 mile. Therefore 10,000 steps is 5 miles. Now I am not saying you need to run 5 miles, I said walk. This is the one routine I make sure to do daily even if I don’t do my weight training session. Now you might be wondering how to track your steps. Here is how I do it. I bought an apple watch and a step tracker watch. Both watches have worked great for me to be able to track my steps and calories I am burning. Also vitamin D you will get from walking outside is essential for your health and immune system!

Workout 5-6 days a week

You might think I am crazy, but I still have been working out 5-6 days a week. How? I bought a few items off of amazon to use for an out home gym. Here is what I got (link on the item to go to amazon).

 

  • Dumbells
  • Set of dumbbells
  • Bosu Ball 
  • Resistance Bands
  • Glute bands 
  • Kettle Bells
  • Yoga Mat

 

 

Take your vitamins

Now you might be wondering why I am talking about vitamins. Its because they are ESSENTIAL to your health!!! You need vitamins because the nutrition in our food is not even 1/10 of what it was 50 years ago. Back then, people got proper nutrition and minerals from there food, but today since the use of GMOs, chemicals,  pesticides, hormones etc. it is impossible to get your daily nutrition. Although, if you can eat 7-10 cups of veggies and fruits a day in order to get your daily intake by all means do that! However, if you are like me and you cannot eat that much you might need vitamin supplements to help.

MY DAILY VITAMINS
  • Women Multi-vitamin 
  • B-12
  • Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 
  • Greens powder 
  • Spirulina 
  • Vitamin D 
  • Flax seed Oil 
  • Probiotics 
  • Green Tea Extract 

 

These are some great tips that I have learned over the years. Please watch my youtube video down below to learn more 🙂

Work from Home Guide

April 10, 2020 by maddie

Hi guys! Happy Friday!

I hope everyone is having a great day so far. I am very excited to share with y’all today 10 essentials for working at home! During these crazy times we are living it is easy to give up and say I am just going to watch netflix all day… even though you should be working. I hope these things help motivate and encourage you! These items are what I use to keep me focused, motivated, and happy! Please comment if you have any must haves for working at home!

Laptop

This is by far my favorite laptop. I have used so many laptops and this one beats it by far. Its the Macbook Air! It has the fastest speed and all the tools I need to accomplish the work! ONLY $999 !!!

Laptop case 

If you already have a laptop, but you need a case for it this is the one! And if you think you don’t need a case… you do! I broke my last laptop by letting one little drop of water get into the key board… dont make the same mistake! Check out these cases! ONLY $20!!

Also this bag I put my laptop in is waterproof and so cute and cheap! ONLY $18!!

Airpods

Okay I am going to be honest… I wasnt a huge fan of airpods when they first came out… I thought they were pointless. BUT when I tried out my sisters airpods I fell in love. They are noise cancelling, so easy to charge, and so easy to find because they are white! I use them for work 24/7! Only $139!! They are $20 OFF right now!!!

Blue light glasses

These glasses are SO essential for me especially since we are on the computer or phones all the time. I used to get such bad headaches when I was staring at the screen for too long and these glasses completely fixed it! Not only did they cure my headaches they are SO cute!! ONLY $18 for 2 pack!!!

Cozy slippers

These slippers are a MUST for working at home. Not only are they cute, but they are sooo comfy! I wear them every single day and they are still in pretty good shape! If you are looking for some home shoes… here they are! 🙂 ONLY $22

Mug!!! 

Here are a couple of my favorite mugs:

Notepad

Having a To-Do list is essential when you are working at home. Why? Because if you dont have a list, you will forget, get sidetracked, slack off etc. It has been said that the most successful people have a list every single day and they make sure they are completing every task! I dont know one person that is successful and just “winged it”, but having a notepad is very important to your success!

 

Grateful journal

This may not seem like an essential, but in today’s world it is. Having a grateful journal has changed my life. It has helped me to be positive and hopeful on the most dreadful days. And I know it can change your days as well! Just try it here :)

Cute/Cozy Clothing

Okay lets be honest… it would be nice to be in our pjs all day while we work… however its actually scientifically proven if you get up and get yourself dressed you will be more productive! So here are a couple of cute, cozy shirts and pants! All under $20!!!!

5 Healthy Treats

April 8, 2020 by maddie

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a great day so far. My last post of this blog got deleted… so here it is again… enjoy 🙂

Healthy treats can be very difficult to find… especially in the todays society where something can be labeled “healthy” or “natural” when really it isnt at all. So first thing is first please keep in mind that treats are suppose to be something that is a rarity or a once of week kinda thing… not an everyday thing especially if you are trying to lose weight or get lean. I hope you enjoy these EASY, healthy, delicious recipes and foods that I have found to be the most healthy and delicious when it comes to treats! These are my go-to sweets! You can get the items off of amazon by clicking on the sub titles. 🙂

Comment below if you have any healthy treat suggestions!

Smart sweet gummies

If you are a gummy person you are going to LOVE these. 3 grams of sugar, 80 calories per bag!!! Its every girls dream come true and they taste so delicious. I normally get these at local grocery store but due to high depend its hard to get them so I just ordered a big package off of amazon! My favorite is the peach rings... they are to die for! 🙂

 

Dark Chocolate 70%+

This is my go-to chocolate. When I first tried this I was like wow but then would I looked at the nutrition label I was like no way! Because its so tasty and smooth. In my opinion its better than dove chocolate! 🙂

Healthy Coffee Recipes

February 12, 2020 by maddie

 

Are you looking for a healthy coffee recipe? Well you’ve come to the right place. Honestly who doesn’t love coffee?! Coffee has sooo many health benefits. But before I share my recipe understand this: you do not need 3 cups of coffee a day. You really only need 1 cup of coffee a day. If you have more than 2 cups that is when Coffee can become not so good for you, so just keep that in mind. 

Coffee health benefits:

  • It Increases your fiber intake
  • Protects against cirrhosis of the liver
  • Lowered risk of Type 2 Diabetes. 
  • Lowered risk of Alzheimer’s disease
  • Reduces suicide risk and Depression
  • Protection against Parkinson’s
  • Coffee drinkers have less risk of heart disease.

Healthy advice:

One thing you MUST to know is buy your coffee organic! They spray as much pesticides and chemicals on coffee as they do with veggies and fruits. My personal favorite coffee is from patriot coffee or whole foods.

Also… coffee can be a LOT of calories and sugar if you arent too careful. So if you are trying to lose weight or burn fat this is a great healthy coffee recipe for you!

Side note: If you love coffee you will DEFINITELY love this recipe. 

So here it is for the coffee lovers out there that need a good healthy and delicious cup of coffee! I have perfected this cup of coffee. It took me months to finally perfect it. 

Healthy Ingredients

1 cup of brewed coffee

1 scoop of collagen 

1 tablespoon of  honey

Dash of cinnamon

1/3 cup of coconut or almond milk (my personal fav is the califia one!)

I mix all the ingredients to a cup and then I put it in the blender for 2 seconds and you are done!

Sometimes I add coco whip on top!
