Main Story-

Take the First Step!

Back in December, I set a very important goal for me... To write every day....

I set this goal because I knew I had to make a big change. I used to tell myself how much work- writing was.... That writing was boring... and that writing took too long and I had other things to do...

........What lies....

What really happened was that I was listening to my fear and ego talk nonsense and I let them convince me that writing really was not worth my time.

In previous years I would start a blog and a few weeks into it, I'd got bored and discouraged and then I just let it go.... Self sabotage would kick in and I'd beat up on myself for not being able to keep my goal. I knew I was not alone, but I felt alone. ''

After many years of doing and not seeing the results I wanted, This year, I decided to Take the First Step into Trusting my DREAMS! Why did I want to write? Why was it important to me? I learned to look at it like my daily Journal book. I also really loved the fact that I was setting a big example for my kids.

I made a healthy plan to write 5 minutes of my life thoughts, plans and ideas. I made it feel easy and fun by convincing myself I was just writing a simple journal entry, I made pretty graphics and recipes and made it interesting. I created this blog, The Good Morning Life.

Today I'm celebrating 50 days of writing! And that feels amazing! I picture in my head "Day 252" and that really excites me...and keeps me motivated to keep writing.

Where is this going? to open doors of opportunities! I just wanted this year 2021 to be extra special. I want to feel like I'm achieving my dreams of writing for one complete year and I know I will achieve it.

So, you see...You have to take the First Step towards facing your Fears, bypassing the lies you tell yourself and become deaf to the naysayers... Just focus on the project you want to get done, DECIDE TO DO IT and TAKE THAT FIRST STEP!

It will be challenging. It will test you. Some days will be easier, but stick it through! You can do this!!! I believe in You!

-You have my full support! Take that first step and please your inner self.

Always wishing you all the Best!!!

Much Love,

- Belynda Farias

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.

Main Story-

A little Wine is Good.....

A little Wine is good... yes, that's right.

I love a good glass of wine once in a while.

Today we're celebrating #Nationaldrinkwineday!

Let's talk about the benefits of having a beautiful glass of Wine....

https://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/14-surprising-health-benefits-wine.html

According to Lifehack.org, here are 14 surprise benefits you'll experience from drinking wine.

1. Live Longer- Daily wine consumption is part of a dietary pattern that encourages long life through eating fewer animal-based foods and eating more plant-based foods.

2. Get Smarter - Resveratrol may help improve short-term memory.

3. Banish Breakouts with Wine - Resveratrol is able to inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria longer than benzoyl peroxide.

4. Wine may beat trips to the Gym - Scientists at the University of Alberta in Canada found that resveratrol improves heart, brain, and bone function; the same way these parts are improved when you go to the gym.

5. Say Goodbye to the Blues - Researchers in Spain found that men and women who drank two to seven glasses of wine per week were less likely to be diagnosed with depression.

6. Reduce your risk of Liver Disease - Modest wine consumption, defined as one glass a day, may decrease the prevalence of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

7. Promote Healthy eyes - Resveratrol stops out-of-control blood vessel growth in the eyes,

8. Promote your Pearly Whites - Drinking wine is a little-known way to protect your teeth from bacteria?

9. Cut Cancer Risks - Red grapes are the fruit best able to suppress the activity of aromatase, the enzyme used by breast tumors to produce their own estrogen – this is called an aromatase inhibitor.

10. Stave off those pesky sniffles - A study looked at 4,000 faculty members at five universities across Spain. Those who drank wine were less likely to come down with a cold compared to those that drank beer or spirits.

11. Lower your Cholesterol - Resveratrol is thought to reduce LDL and increase HDL, meaning that our blood vessels are less likely to be coated with plaque.

12. Reduce the risk of Stroke - Wine may reduce your risk of ischemic stroke. In analyses adjusted for age, sex, and smoking, intake of wine on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis was associated with a lower risk of stroke compared with no wine intake.

13. Regulate sugar levels without drugs - The polyphenols in wine interact with cells involved in the development and storage of fat and the regulation of blood sugar

14. Slash your Diabetic risk - Men and women who drink moderately have a 30% lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Attract your BEST LIFE!

Welcome to the Good Morning Life

I’m your host Belynda Farias. Today is Wednesday February 17, 2021. (day 48)

Today is #Randomactofkindnessday

Tomorrow is #NationalDrinkWineday

Main Story-

Attract Your BEST Life!

What are you Attracting?

Is it your BEST Life?

What an interesting question right?

It's a question to bring focus to your current situation.... I am a big believer in The Law of Attraction. You don't really have to believe it, it just IS.

The law of attraction is all around us. Think of it like a magnet. You are the magnet, and you are magnetically attracting things to you, every moment, everyday, each and every time.

It is true! What you think about you attract, so it you're thinking about your dreams... easy, you'll notice opportunities for your dreams to start showing up. It's almost like LOA (law of attraction) is listening to everything you're saying, thinking and taking action on. It's reading you like a book... or like Alexa, or Siri, or Google. Isn't it funny that when you're talking about going to the Bahamas one day... an advertisement shows up on your Facebook page for traveling to the Bahamas?

It's no secret that the internet listens to you, watches your online searches and purchases and creates a bio for you of preferred information. Law of Attraction does the same in a more subtle way, listening to your energy, to your words, to your thoughts and actions and then the Ads start showing up, except they're not ads, they are real life. This happens everyday at every moment.

Here's the thing though... it works for the Good thoughts and dreams and everything happy... However, (wah, wah, wah).. it works for the bad or negative thoughts and energy too. The Law of attraction, reads your mind and gives you more of what you're thinking.

If you find a situation that you're not happy with, and it keeps repeating itself over and over, it may be time to reset your attraction button. It's not a button... it's just thought patterns. In order to change or break a pattern, there must be Big change- Something drastic, getting uncomfortable and doing something you're not familiar with. Patterns or habits are hard to break, because we've been comfortable for so long, it becomes difficult to step out and try something new.

We can all think of a situation where an unhappy life story has presented itself a few times, maybe more. It could be relationships... having difficult relationships over and over and always wondering why. It could be money... finding it difficult to keep the money flowing. It could be self confidence or worth.... finding it difficult to believe and love yourself.

Here's the thing... it is ALL showing up because you have an attraction to it! Now don't get upset! It's ok and I promise it will get better!

Understanding that we are ultimately the very energy that is attracting our life circumstances, is the first step of the process. There's no blame on you or anyone. Just clarity and wisdom in understanding why these pattern keep showing up.

This is Self Discovery at it's best. Getting to know the Why of your life- Why things show up the way they do, with the people, places or things that make you question life.

This is Fabulous! Most of the time, we carry old patterns from our childhood, home or work experiences, pain from relationships, broken money patterns, etc.

The BEST news is that it can ALL be changed! How? you ask? By creating NEW thought patterns, and letting the old one's dissipate. Remember it's what we think about... it you keep thinking about "Why it's Not Working?" guess what you're calling? Things and situations that will not work.

However, if you focus on all the Wonderful things that ARE working out for you today... You'll be attracting more Wonderful things to feel, experience and talk about.

Isn't That the BEST news ever? No, you are not doomed! Yes, your life will change for the BETTER.... Always for the Better because that is our ultimate life goal- continued Self Love, Growth and Joy.

Friends, Life is what you make it! It is YOUR life. Your ONE life. Start attracting what you really want! Start making the shift today!

Repeat after me.... "Everything is Always working out for me." "My life is beautiful! " "Money flows to me easily in avalanches of abundance." " I am in the right place at the right time, with the right people." "Life loves me! and I love my Life!"

Positive Attracts Positive! Keep adding positive to your life!

Make your own positive Mantra and repeat it to yourself daily!

Always wishing you all the Best!!!

Much Love,

- Belynda Farias
