Feel Good Thoughts

I finished my early morning workout at the gym this morning and thought I wanted to share with you some ways in which you can feel inspired and motivated to move. This morning I woke up 5.30am, turned over and pressed the snooze button (ops!) and then went back to sleep again but lucky I have another alarm set for 5 mins later with the motivational mantra on my phone that says 'Lets do this, time to train!'. After I saw that I thought OK I really need to get up now. Which brings me onto the first of 5 feel good fit inspo which is... Tip#1:  Motivation on your alarm clock or write a motivational mantra or inspiration on paper and put it next to the bed where you can read it. Tip#2: Prepare active wear or gym clothes the night before and place them next to your bed where you can see them when you wake up in the morning. Tip#3: Do exercise that you ENJOY!!! If you like to swim – swim It you like to surf – surf If you enjoy running - run Do whatever movement you enjoy, that helps you to feel good. Tip#4: Keep you

Goodafternoon, Today's topic is around Stress... Stress is a natural emotion which comes up in life and on today's Feel Good Thoughts #31 I share with you some self love solutions which can help when in stressful situations. When stress appears I do some self love solutions including; Stop, Step Back and Breathe; If you feel like you are getting stressed or overwhelmed try to stop doing whatever it is that you are doing that's making you feel stressed. Step back or move away from the situation and take some time out to just breathe. Try to fix the focus more on breathing and seeking calmness around the situation. Find the calmness in the situation; Once you are able to stop, step away and breathe, it enables you to start to focus more on your breathe which will allow you to seek some calmness. Take time out; If you are inside working and feeling overwhelmed then take some time out and go outside, get some fresh air and take some time to breathe, go for a little walk and release the stress. Stop speaking a

  Welcome to today's Feel Good Thoughts where I share with you a interview with the inspiring Damien Rider. Damien undertook a solo paddle of 800km from Gold Coast to Bondi Beach with zero support crew, it was 17 days of the paddle journey with many challenges along the way including crossing shark breeding grounds, limited food and water, fatigue and hunger. Growing up Damien had a tough childhood, being a victim of child abuse and was determined to find his peace, and ensure it doesn't happen to another child, so he set off on the solo paddle to help raise awareness against child abuse and also paddle for his foundation PACA - Paddle Against Child Abuse. The film displays a story of courage, inspiration and belief that anything is possible. Throughout this episode, Damien shares about his experience on the paddle, some challenges he went through, along with what motivated him and inspired him whilst he was on the paddle.

Today I want to start the day with this beautiful affirmation which is 'Look for the love and lessons that surround you today". Life is constantly presenting to us new experiences and challenges.

Today think about looking for the love in situations and how can you grow or learn from any challenges or situations that my come your way. 'Seek the love in the lessons' Tune into the short podcast message above to hear more.

Volunteering – Volunteering is a beautiful gift to give this Christmas, being able to spend some time helping others can help you to help you to feel good, spread happiness and feel happy! Studies have shown that volunteering has the power to reduce anxiety and depression. There are many different organisations at Christmas in which you can help, just do a little Google search online to see what volunteering opportunities are available close to where your live.

Goodmorning, Today's feel good thought is based around mindfulness, and the affirmation I would like to begin with is 'I honor and allow myself to just be'. Isn't that a beautiful affirmation to start the day? The reason why I love this affirmation is that you are able to break down the affirmation and use it in a way like; I honor myself the space to practice whatever it is that makes me feel good, like meditation or yoga. And I allow myself the time to be mindful in this moment and just be. To be mindful to me, means to be in the here and now, right now. It is about dedicating the time to honor myself the space to practice my meditation and during that time just letting thoughts come and go with no judgement. It is really about letting go of what was, surrendering to what is and believing in what will be. Taking time out for mindfulness allows me to decrease stress, feel at peace and feel more love, light and happiness. Tune into today's Feel Good Thoughts Podcast #26 where I share more about mindfulness an

Hey there, Today I want to share a feel good thought around the word 'courage'. To me, courage is caring about what you want and taking the leap to achieve it. Look at it like this...there is a bridge, on one side is fear and the other side is your ultimate goal or dream. Courage is simply the steps you take over the bridge to get to where you desire. Courage is also understanding you may not win or achieve the outcome you desire but you'll give it a go anyway. It's realising that overcoming your fear and having that self belief to steer toward your goal is more important than holding back and letting fear consume you. So next time you feel fear, don't let it hold you back. Instead, get that feel good thought that courage is about caring about what you want, about gaining self belief and realising that it may take a little bit of moving outside your comfort zone but when you strive towards your goal, this is far more important than fear. Have the courage to believe in yourself and take the step forward to ach

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is a great day to think about all that you are thankful for in your life. I am thankful for my family, universal friendships, my team, mother earth, love and connections with loved ones, the ocean, this incredible gift of life and much more. To celebrate thanksgiving today I want to share with you a thankfulness practice in which you can do by yourself, with a friend or in a group. A few weeks ago while I was in Costa Rica, my friends and I went through this thankfulness practice together. It was a beautiful morning on the beach and we sat legs crossed on the sand, palms up open to receive and closed our eyes. One at a time, each of us would say " I am thankful for..." and then say what we have thankful for. We then would pause, be in the present moment and then the next person would have their turn and share what they are thankful for in their life. After going around the circle a few times, my friends expressed such appreciation and gratitude. It was a beautiful way to share the bl

Hi everyone, Today's podcast is about how words carry energy and when we choose to speak positively it can assist with a positive outcome. Aldous Huxley says "Words form the thread on which we string our experiences" and I could not agree more. Every word we use carries an energy, which assists with creating our mindset each day. Let's think back to the last time you had to motivate yourself. Maybe it was to wake up before work an train, or for a work presentation or perhaps a speaking engagement, whatever it was, what words did you use to motivate yourself? Did you have an energetic tone? Was it phrases like 'I can do this!', 'I believe in myself' or 'I am so ready for this' Or did you think more like 'I cannot do this' and 'I don't have the confidence to do this'. Did you notice a lack of motivation if you used more negative phrases? Your words are so powerful and can easily shift the energy. Motivating yourself with positive words and phrases can give your more energy and give you a positive mindset, allow

Good morning, Today I want to share some feel good thoughts around descriptive affirmations. But first.. What are affirmations? An affirmation is a positive statement or thought that you intend to do or perhaps something you want to achieve in life. I am a big believer in starting the day in a positive way and the easiest way to do this is through setting a positive affirmation. I wrote a book called "The Feel Good Affirmations Guide" where I share 21 days of feel good affirmations to promote self love and happiness. I begin each of these affirmations with "I am..." I like to the start affirmations with "I am..." because it shows we are taking ownership of whatever comes next in the sentence. Starting with "I am..." assists in creating a positive energy that simply helps us to feel good. So, let's think about some affirmations you may already have. Perhaps you want to boost your energy levels and your affirmation is "I am energized". This affirmation represents a feeling of energy, but to lift the level of p

Moving Mountains Today I am excited to share with you a Feel Good Thoughts Podcast with the inspiring Jonathan Ronzio who produced the film Between the Peaks. Jonathan shares about the journey with his two friends in their dream to climb the tallest mountains in both North and South America and how throughout their journey, they also volunteered at every country between the two peaks. Jonathan explains that as climbers, the men had the obvious dream of reaching the summit of these mountains, but that its just as important to focus on the steps along the way of achieving your goals. He planned for 2 years and intensely trained for 1 year. The mountain in South America stood at 22,841 ft and took 12 days to climb. At 21,600 ft,  Jonathan fell to his knees, as his chest felt tight and he began experiencing heart palpations, the early symptoms of high altitude pulmonary edema set in and he was forced to turn back. Jonathan remembers how heartbreaking of a decision it was, but is now able to reflect back and reali

Hi everyone, Today's podcast is focused on the feel good thought  'Motivate Me'. I want to start with the quote "I am only as motivated as the person I am allowing myself to be" Allow yourself to feel motivated and know your why. Why do you want to feel motivated? In order to be motivated, you must allow yourself to feel motivated. So today I will talk about 4 ways you can start to feel motivated. 1. Have a positive mindset and know your why In order to be motivated, you must know your why. What is your plan? What do you want to achieve? By knowing your why, you can focus your goals and create a positive mindset to achieve them. It could be as simple as waking up each morning and setting a positive intention or goal. For me, my why is inspiring others to feel good. Each morning I wake up knowing my why, which sets out my day in a feel good way. 2. Seek inspiration from others I have plenty of people I look to for inspiration. I often just jump online and listen to an inspiring YouTube video to help me find mo

Goodafternoon, Today I want to share with you some Feel Good Thoughts around peace and tranquility. Just like the waves of the ocean our thoughts come and they go, they flow in and they flow out. To feel a sense of inner peace it is important to take some time out each day to slow down the body and mind and seek moments of solitude. For me I seek these moments of stillness through my meditation practice and seek peace through yoga practice. For each person it is different, for some it may be going for a walk in silence and being amongst nature, whatever moments of stillness, peace and tranquility you choose, taking moments of stillness each day assists with decreasing stress and provides a space for inner peace and clarity. How will you seek some peace and tranquility for you today? Light and happiness, Joey The post Peace And Tranquility – Feel Good Thoughts Podcast #19 appeared first on Feel Good Joey.

It is important to allow ourself to have; Positive thoughts Loving thoughts Gratitude Mindfulness When we are able to see the positivity and beauty that surrounds us daily, we are able to let the light shine within. To help with allowing the light to shine and to feel good, you can try by starting the day a little earlier in the morning and setting some time out for reflection and gratitude practice.

Hi Everyone, Today's podcast focuses on a Feel Good Thought around having confidence with conversations. If you have ever felt shy in a group environment or perhaps hesitant to approach others, then this podcast is for you. The most important part of approaching others is to open your heart and mind and ignite your confidence within. Once you connect with others, the fear of approaching them disappears. Approaching others is quite simple and even though you may not believe it, you do have the confidence to start the conversation. In fact, you've probably done it multiple times already. For every person in your life, you have had a 'first conversation' with and it is important to realise that when approaching new people now is no different. At any party or conference, if you are nervous to approach others, chances are, so are they. So find the confidence within to take the first step and say hello. Once you say hello, the rest is easy as the conversation will begin to flow. A simple 'Hi how are you?' can open

Ola, Today I am excited to share with you a Feel Good Thoughts Podcast from the beautiful Costa Rica, where I was at a conference called Awesomeness Fest. I loved the positive energy and attitude from everyone there at Awesomeness Fest and there was also many inspiring speakers including Lisa Nichols, who is known for motivating the masses and was also seen on "The Secret". In her presentation, she spoke about the phrase "Yes, Yes!" The first YES is to yourself, and the second YES is to the assignment in your life. And today I want to share with you on my podcast more thoughts around saying YES! The idea of "Yes Yes!" is about stepping forward and taking action everyday to make your dream come true. Whether its saying yes to a dream, or deciding what you want to do or who you want to impact. When we commit to making that positive change by saying "Yes, Yes"! the simple phrase brings you back to the present now and is a beautiful reminder that at the end of the day, you are the only one that can make things ha

Goodmorning, Today's feel good thought is... 'It's important to honor the now' When was the last time you said 'right here, right now, I am having the BEST time?' Today's Feel Good Thought is about remembering to honor the now. The experiences which we have had in the past really help us to grow; the experiences which are to come can help us with vision and may give us some hope BUT the experiences we have right now, we should have gratitude, love and honor for these present moments. Each day we build foundations of what makes us feel good and what brings us happiness and these foundations are where our emotions are shaped with how we feel right now. So rather then think about how it use to be or how you want it to be, try to think more about the present moment that we have right now and enjoy the present - this gift! Have a beautiful day, Joey The post Honor The Now – Feel Good Thoughts Podcast #15 appeared first on Feel Good Joey.

Goodmorning, I am feeling so energized and inspired from the Awesomeness Fest Conference this week and am excited to share with you today a chat on my podcast show with an Impacteur and all round awesome person, Franziska Iseli. What is an Impacteur? An Impacteur is someone who wants to make a difference, someone who loves having a positive impact on society and their environment, someone who is challenging the norm and likes doing things a bit differently, someone who loves, gives and leads. And today, Franziska is going to share some Feel Good Thoughts around How to be an impacteur? and how to make a positive impact on the world. She reminds us about how making a difference can be quite simple, whether it's writing a note to a waiter or smiling at a stranger. Whatever it is, you never know just how far your positive energy can go. As a random act of kindness, Franziska shares about how she recently paid enough bus fair for herself as well as the next customer's fair. The driver politely turned down her mone

ALOHA! Greetings from Waikiki Beach. As I sit here enjoying the beautiful weather and view of the ocean, I cannot help but think just how important it is to have ‘me time’. Yes - me time. The most important 'to do' that most of us put at the bottom of our list. Please do not forget how vital it is to nourish yourself. In order to serve others and be the best version of yourself, you need to take care of yourself. Recently, I spent 3 days alone in Tropical North Queensland where I spent my time meditating, swimming, reading, writing and practicing yoga. This solo retreat rejuvenated my mind, body and soul and allowed me to come back refreshed and ready to serve others. You may not have time for a trip but do not feel selfish taking a few moments out of your day to spend time with yourself. Alone time allows nourishment, time with your own thoughts, and the chance to find inner peace. How can we find moments of ‘me time’ in the day? Wake up earlier in the morning before everyone else in the house wakes up Tak
