5 ways on how to feel Fantastic and Wonderful

1) Smile: When you smile you release endorphins in your body which creates that feeling of happiness, so I suggest that you embrace a smile and do it often. Smiling makes us feel good and it creates a positive buzz when you smile at others..we are showing that we are friendly, you never know...just by smiling at someone you might meet someone who will take you higher in life or make you feel good, they might pay you a compliment. I have found that I have met some really great people in my life who have blessed me tremendously and it all started with a smile. People who are generally moody, unfriendly and cranky do not really get that fair in life and often don't have many friends so I suggest some good healthy friendliness in your personality. So lets begin to shake off the gloom and start smiling again.

2) Do more of the things that you enjoy and love:
What do you enjoy doing in your life? What are you good at, what makes you laugh and feel great? Is it singing, dancing, watching comedy, spending time with your big sister, travelling, meeting new people, playing your guitar? Whatever it is do more of that...I love singing so I have times where I just sing in the bathroom for at least 30minutes, I belt and sing all songs that I love and it always makes me feel great and uplifts me. So i.e. if you love ice-skating then get your skates on. When you do what you love to do more in your life then, you begin to feel more fantastic and wonderful:-)


3) Be a blessing to others: Joyce Meyer an international preacher says 'Get your mind off yourself and get busy being a blessing to others' I agree with this principle as sometimes we can get too caught up thinking about ourselves and our lives...instead of self-indulging - every day look for someone to bless. Think of how you can make another person's life better..especially someone who is worse off than you or someone who has been so good to you. For example maybe buy your mum some flowers, write a thank you note to your best friend and post it to her house as a surprise, write a poem to your boyfriend telling him how much you love him, give some of your clothes to charity or even apologise and make peace with someone that your upset. You will be so happy to see how good it feels to help others. When you set mind to help others you will feel fantastic and wonderful especially when you see the smile that you have put on other peoples faces. [Tip: Even if they do not act grateful or if they do not seem to respond in a positive way...don't despair keep up this principle from time to time as your reward will come but it may come in a different way, or through a different person or in a different time in your life].

4) Prune your life: If you want to feel wonderful and fantastic then you may need to cut off some bad habits or let go of some people of things that are not making you happy...if you want to feel better write a list of 10 things that make you feel unhappy and choose three of them to take out of your life. Example (1) Maybe your fed up of how much time you spend on the phone and want to spend more time with your family and relax more - a good way to get limit this would be to go on a phone diet i.e. do not answer calls after 6pm-8pm and switch your phone off by 10pm latest. Maybe you have friends that only talk about problems and that's it...well you may need to get around more positive people, maybe you'd like to exercise more to make you feel more motivated...go for it :-) make small changes for great results. You will feel fantastic and wonderful when you have more time to do positive things in your life and when you let go of those things that frustrate you.

5) Dress to impress: Start looking after you! Your amazing and you need to shine at work, at home, when you go out and even at the gym :-) What colours bring out your eyes and complexion? Wear more of those colours...I find that the colours green and turquoise really suit me...people always tend to compliment me when I wear these colours so I like to wear bright clothes and catchy nice make-up often. Also what do you wear that makes you look boring and old...you need to make a change...I found that I when I was at home I got too comfortable wearing my cosy warm pale turquoise dressing gown in the house, I wore it everyday when I would get home from University - but it was starting to make me look boring so eventually I decided to throw the damn thing away. I want to look fresh and young at home not old and boring lol. Maybe you wear the most fabulous clothes when you go out the when you get in wear the oldest clothes in the world with holes and rips...throw those cheesy clothes away and start to dress to impress everywhere so that you will feel fabulous, confident, free and wonderful everywhere you go and get more of those nice the compliments that you deserve :-)

Good luck with feeling more fantastic and wonderful...enjoy it :-)

Persistence is key

Do you find that you really want good things in life but that you can not seem to really fight for what you want? Do you find yourself giving up easily? Do you find yourself settling for second best? Let me ask you a question...why is that? Is it due to comfort of convenience? Well, if Sir Alan Sugar was too comfortable in the early part of his life then he would not of fought to become the successful Business Man and TV Personality that he is today, he certainly knew what he wanted and he was willing to be persistent in order to obtain the success that he was looking for. Beyonce Knowles is also a very determined, persistent female...if she didn't persist in her singing career she would not be the 9 times Grammy-Award winning Singer that she is today. So you maybe thinking to yourself...I want to be persistent and win in my life, I want to get married, be a manager, get a promotion, I want a pay rise, I want to complete my degree, I want my book to be published...but I do not know how to complete what I start, I always seem to lose heart!! Don't despair...below I have typed up three golden tips that can use to help you become more persistent - which will cause you to be more successful in your life:

1) Keep the vision alive: Write out what you want to achieve, have a goal, write out what steps you need to take to make your dream come true (so it's really plain) then you need to really begin to imagine yourself in the position that you want to be in i.e. if you play football and you dream of being a Football Player for Chelsea Football Team - you need to be able to visualise this. I suggest that you do research on the team, buy the t-shirt, watch the games, get as fit as possible, play footie often and believe in the impossible. Tell your closest friends and family what you dream of achieving and they will help you and often ask you how things are going - which can really give you the motivation you need to prevail.

2) Believe that you can achieve greatness: 'If you aim for the sky you may hit the ceiling, if you aim for the ceiling you may reach the floor' someone once said this to me and I believe this is true. You have to aim high, but before you can aim high you must believe! You have to believe in yourself, you have to believe in the impossible, you have to know that you can do great things in your life. Also I must also say that you need to be around people who believe in you and who are like-minded (iron sharpens iron - proverbs), if you have friends that laugh at your dream then you need to stop telling them your business before they discourage you, get around positive people who have aspirations like you. If your a Fashion Designer, I bet you want doors to open for, maybe you'd like to see your clothes on celebrities or in stores. Start looking for opportunities to shine, maybe you need to start to be at the right places at the right times which involves attending fashion shows, visiting retail stores and speaking with other stylists. Do what you need to do to push for success and eventually your lucky moment will eventually come.

3) Overcome the fear of failure: Some people never achieve there goals or dreams because they often give up when things get tough, boring or difficult. As soon as things do not go there way - they decided to settle for second best or look for a comfortable alternative. The bible says 'Be not weary in well doing for you shall reap if you faint not' in other words keep working hard, sowing seeds, believing, persisting and if you do not give up then you will reap the blessings that you desire. So maybe your a single woman...you want to get married and you have done everything you can to prepare yourself for marriage, maybe you've even tried on your wedding dream as an act of faith, you've bought books on marriage and done the tips they gave you...but it's still not happening. I would say to you, don't give up, don't despair...keep believing, keep yourself focused on the positive things in your life, don't date any random guys just to fill the void instead love yourself more and enjoy the simplicity of life, trust that you will know your husband when you meet him, picture your dream husband coming into your life at any moment. When the dream is real enough to you...then you are likely to see the aspiration happen in real life.

Dear Friends,

I am excited, as this Saturday 23rd of May, I am having a seminar for the ladies...well...more like a mini-group meeting on Festive Success and this time it's female empowering...I am so looking forward to delivering my message that I have come up with. I am going to be looking at issues within the meeting such as:

I am very excited and I really have a passion to see people become more successful and above all I want to see 'you be the best you that you can be' this may involve letting go of some past memories, letting go of past hurts, changing friends, putting some boundaries, getting out of comfort zones, thinking positive, letting go of what was and beginning to focus on what is today and what will be in the future (which is greatness, living the dream and more success). I have decided to stop wasting my time on things that affect my joy - lets decide to do this together :-)

Many thanks...more updates, blogs and articles coming super soon :-)

Oh quick tip: I watched a video today on youtube by Dr Jeanine and she gave a message on 'Don't give your pearls to swine' (scripture that somes from Matthew in the bible) I think that she is so right...some people are just not worth your time, you try to give them love but the throw it back in your face...so just let go of them and focus on the people that truly love and adore you :-) You deserve to be happy and you deserve to the best female that you truly want to be :-)

Remain FESTIVE.

How to Finish Strong

"If you believe in youself and know what you want your gonna make it happen, make it happen, and if your getting on your knees at night and pray to the Lord he's gonna make it happen, make it happen" Mariah Carey

Many people want things in life but they do not want it bad enough, if they did they would be willing to do whatever good things they need to do to make it happen, they would be willing to endure till the end. I have found that in my life I had to endure with studying my BA degree, the glory part was the graduation and the success of having the degree but it took hard work, dedication, commitment and consistency to arrive at the graduation stage and now I am able to enjoy my success. I am sure that you have overcome some struggles and been victorious, I want to encourage you to never give up and to not settle for second best in your life. Maybe you are just about to complete your book but your getting stressed and can not be bothered anymore...don't quit work harder. Below are some tips on how you can finish strong.

1) Be Ambitious: In order to finish your exams, degree, coursework, to overcome past hurts, to get a promotion in work, in order for you not to give up in life when the going gets tough you need to begin by having a mental view of what you want to achieve, you need to be ambitious. Ambition is about having a passion, goals, dreams and aspirations, a desire for success and wanting the good things in life that life has to offer. I encourage you to write out your ambitions and put them on your wall if need be to remind yourself of what you want to achieve - this will make you become a winner, this will make you determined to complete the good work you have started. If you forget your goals then you will forget the reason why you need to work harder and you'll see now point of fighting to cross the finish line.

2) Remind yourself of the rewards: So you want to get a new car, perhaps your saving up for it right now and your close to having the exact money you need to buy the car and all of a sudden the temptation comes for you to go on a shopping spree...resist the urge, write a list of the benefits that you will achieve through buying your dream car, for example 'A new car will lift my confidence', 'I will be able to go anywhere I want to in the comfort of my own car', 'I will have the car of my dreams', 'I won't need to rely on public transport anymore'. You see...your now beginning to realise that the benefits out way the urge to go shopping...clothes and shoes will always come and go but a car is so valuable so don't trade your chance of having a car for a short lived shopping spree. Be determined to finish strong and gain your true reward.

3) Have faith: In order to complete a task, a mission, a chore you need to have faith that you can do it, it all starts in the mind. In order to succeed in your business or if you want to run a marathon and get to the finish line successfully, then you need to begin to change your thinking...believe that you can do it, you need to believe that you are able. Ask yourself 'what is preventing me from being as determined as I want to be in my life?' Is it people? Is it my friends? Is it negative thinking? Is it my past failures? Well if you want to succeed then you need to make small changes for good results. Start by surrounding yourself with like-minded people, people who encourage you, practice faith and belief. Speak like a winner; say things like 'I can make it', 'I will win', 'I am determined to succeed', 'I will finish strong'. If you keep it up and keep it up and keep it up and keep it up...eventually you will MAKE IT HAPPEN. Congratulations :-)



:-) Best wishes. Queen Chioma
