Do you want to know how to shift your negative energy to positive when you’re in a bad mood? Anytime, Anywhere... First, you need to analyze yourself, your mood, and your current atmosphere.

Goodafternoon, I want to end the week with some Feel Good Friday inspiration!! Today's Feel Good Thought is...If not you, then who? This inspirational Feel Good Thought today is about having self belief and really believing in you. There is a great youtube video by knickback which ties in nicely with the theme of if not you then who? It is called “What are you waiting for?” It talks about “What are you waiting for?” and some of the inspiring words from the song are; Are you waiting for the right excuse? Are you waiting for the perfect night? Are you waiting till the time is right? Don’t you want to learn to deal with fear? Don’t you want to take the wheel and steer? You gotta go reach for the top Believe in every dream that you got Your only living once so tell me What are you waiting for?” (Click on the youtube video below to watch the entire video) Aren’t these words above powerful? - What are you waiting for?

Goodmorning, Today's Feel Good Thought is..."Forget Your Fear and Move Forward!" In today's podcast, I share some awareness around the emotion of fear. Learn how to overcome fear as it appears with these three steps to consider: Take time out and just breathe;  It is difficult to find clarity around a fear when you are flooded in the emotion. By sitting and breathing in peace and quiet it will help you to slow down, find some calmness and understand why you are feeling the fear. So, by slowing down, focusing on the breathe it can help with decreasing any stress around the fear and seeking some stillness and clarity. Talk it out: Speak to someone about your fear and talk it out! When you are able to share the fear with another it can help with overcoming the fear, they may be able to support you so you feel a decrease in the fearful emotion and it also can help with putting things in perspective. Take Action: Knowing that if you speak to someone about your fear, work through the awareness of why you are fee

Goodmorning! Today's Feel Good Thought is about disconnecting from technology and reconnecting to self and this begins by being mindful of the time spent on the phone. The thought for today is... 'Put down your phone and reconnect to self' Be mindful today of the time you are spending looking at a screen, whether it be a computer screen, phone, ipad etc... We can fill so many quiet moments in our day by looking at our phone and scrolling through social media. Today I share with you some ways in which you can put down your phone, disconnect from technology and reconnect to self. Step outside and just breathe. If you are working indoors on the computer all day, think about what do you do on your lunch break. If you are tempted to check your phone, try to take some moments of timeout to step outside instead and get some fresh air, take a look around at the environment that surrounds you and have gratitude for what you see. Spend lunchtime with a colleague and enjoy lunch chatting with each other. Instead of sp

The purpose of my life is... Have you ever thought about this sentence? Well, in today's Feel Good Thoughts Podcast #47 I share with you a moment I had 6 years ago when I was at a Anthony Robbins conference called Date With Destiny and how I went through a process to unfold and dig deep with my life purpose. In the podcast today I share more about the process and how I came up with this phrase which sums up my life purpose being... The purpose of my life is to spread my wings like a butterfly, sprinkling my love, faith and passion to all those around me. This 'purpose' mantra really helps to ground me and reminds me of where I am at, what I want to do and how I want to help serve humanity. And even through times when I am challenged or times when I'm thinking am I on the right path... am I sticking to how I want to serve and help sprinkle my love, faith and passion to others, I just bring myself back to that feel good thought of what my purpose is. Today I challenge you to think about what is your purpose? Wh

Goodmorning, Today's Feel Good Thought is about trying something new. This year one of my goals is to go a little outside my comfort zone and try new things because I know that when I try something new, this can help me grow, learn and discover more. I actually thought at the beginning of this year, imagine if I tried just one new thing every single month this year, that would mean I would learn 12 new things or go on 12 new adventures. Some of the most memorable experiences for me has been when I have tried something new. Tune into today's podcast by clicking on the play button above to hear more about this topic. What are some new fun, healthy, positive adventures or activities that you could try this year? Joey The post Something New – Feel Good Thoughts Podcast #45 appeared first on Feel Good Joey.

Life is not always easy and sometimes things happen which are disappointing. In today's Feel Good Thoughts Podcast #43 I open my heart and share how I coped through a disappointment recently which really broke my heart. It was one of those situations which I didn't see coming and I never thought it would happen to me. How did I cope to overcome the disappointment?  The first thing I did was honor the now. I allowed myself to feel sad, to cry whatever it is I was feeling then I began to immerse myself into love and think about the disappointment and out of the experience was there something I could learn? I realised that it will make me be stronger and next time I will have more knowledge, I discovered there were lessons I have learnt. But I also remembered to honor the now, I felt the feelings but then I knew I had to get back up, I couldn't give up. I remembered this.... To think about the blessings and lessons! Everything happens for a reason and good comes out of it, is a quote I always bring up when I am

Goodmorning, Happy Monday!! Today I want to share with you some tools that you can consider when practicing peace in your daily lifestyle. There are 5 Components When Practicing Peace: 1. Find a Sacred Place Find a quiet, sacred place in which you can do your practice. It may be outdoors at a park, beach or in your backyard. Or it may be indoors in a place in your house. Find a place you resonate with that you can call your sacred place of practice. It is important to find this place so you know that when you go to your sacred place this is the place where you have peace, serenity and love. Create your own sacred place by choosing somewhere that is a place where you feel at peace. For me, I am a real beach girl so I have a sacred place at the beach that I go to in the morning. It is a meditation rock where a lot of people go to meditate and practice yoga at sunrise. It is absolutely stunning.  Why do I love to meditate at sunrise? Just as the sunrises, there is a sense of real peace and quiet in the air. It i

Happy Weekend! Today I want to share the thought around 'decisions shape direction!'. When making a decision YOU need to make a choice and once you make a choice things will change. And your choices will have a impact on the direction in which you want to go. So, it is really important to ensure to make healthy choices which will work positively in the direction of where you want to go. Sometimes decisions can be really tough because you're not sure on which way to go. But what is more challenging? Making a decision or staying stuck in the mud and not moving anywhere without a decision at all? I want to share with you this two step process I consider when making a decision; Think about all the variables: What will happen if you make the decision, what will happen if you don't. What choices do you have around the decision and what healthy choice will you decide when moving forward. Ask your heart what it is that you really want to do: I like to sit in some peace and quiet and allow my inner thoughts and feel

Goodmorning and HAPPY MONDAY!! Start this week in a nurturing and nourishing way by taking care of you. YES that's right, it is time to take care of you because YOU are responsible for your own happiness and your own health. When you are able to nurture and nourish yourself, you fill up your cup full of goodness. And when your cup is filled and it begins to overflow with the positivity, happiness and love you feel, it makes it easier to share this with others. So, today, start the day in a positive way by doing whatever it takes to take care of you. It may be by starting the day with some self compliments. Complimenting yourself at first may feel a little strange but we are awesome at complimenting others so why not compliment yourself. When you give yourself positive reinforcement and praise you are allowing yourself to feel good. What compliment could you give yourself right now? Or think about this... 'What is something beautiful about you?' Tune into today's podcast for more ideas on how you can 'take ca

The inspiration for today's Feel Good Thoughts Podcast, has come from one my listeners Suzanne and the topic for today is ‘Keeping The Heart Happy’. And I want to start with this inspiring feel good thought today which is; ‘YOU have a gift and that is the power to change your feeling at anytime, so today choose JOY, today choose HAPPY!’ I love this quote and recently a close friend of mine watched Inside Out, she then wrote to me and said 'all I could think of the whole way through it was... OMG Joy is actually Joey!' LOL... And the reason why I live with JOY naturally is because I make the choice to choose happiness every single day. Isn't it amazing when we think that we all have the gift of choice, we can choose how we feel. Today I want to share with you about how you can create a happy heart by simply choosing JOY and choosing LOVE and making the conscious decision daily to keep the heart happy. But it begins with... Honoring your feeling. When your are not happy, seek some happiness by doing one thing

Today's Feel Good Thought is all about replacing the words 'I should' with 'I choose'. I want to start by sharing what is the difference between I should and I choose. When I use the words 'I should'... I feel like I am obliged to do something, I feel like I should do it! It is almost like a decision to do something is based on an external influence. However when I change the words to 'I choose'... it is more empowering, loving and I feel like I am making a decision based on what I want to do within. The choice then becomes mine. Tune into today's podcast to hear more about this thought of using the words 'I Choose'... And remember to make your own choices today by beginning your sentences with 'I choose'... Have a fab day!

Goodmorning, Today I want to share with you the importance of incorporating daily rituals. Daily rituals are activities that you enjoy and benefit you towards helping you to feel good. I enjoy doing daily rituals in the morning each day to help me start the day in a positive way. I find that taking some time out for you to do things that you love in the morning, really help with providing a solid foundation for the day ahead. I know that even if I just take 15 minutes in the morning for some rituals time, it can make all the difference with feeling good and starting the day in a positive way. Some of my morning rituals are; - Watching the sunrise - Meditation practice - Yoga practice - Mindfulness - Write down my thoughts - Think positive thoughts - affirmations - Read something inspiring - Move my body - some form of exercise - Catch up with a friend to go for a walk - Nourish the body ie. Enjoy a green smoothie How do you find the time to do morning rituals? 1. Wake up earlier in the morning; Even if you be
