I’m good at turning sparks into a “roaring blaze!” – “The” Trainer Outdoor Training Specialist /Consultant 12/04/2025

I try to use my fear to help me! … The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It’s the same thing, fear, but it’s what you do with it that matters. Cus D’Amato 12/04/2025

“It’s easy to do anything in victory. It’s in defeat that man reveals himself.” – Floyd Patterson 12/04/2025

I decided, because of the “bullying,” to start exercising and being prepared to protect myself if needed! Because of my experiences I went onto becoming an RN in CCU for 15 years and for the last 20+ years I have been a “Functional Trainer!” Those two things have helped me and the folks I worked with become a better person(‘s)! It all started because of my response to “bullying!” 12/04/2025

I was once bullied every day on my school bus by the same person and nobody seemed to care! Not the bus driver, my parents or the other students. Having said that and looking back, I’m not sure whether I would have liked it, in the long run, if someone had stepped in and helped stop it or not? I would have definitely liked it at the time but I’m not sure if it would have helped me throughout my whole life the way that the “bullying” has seemed to helped! 12/04/202512/04/2025

I have been good at responding to “bullying” that took place years ago and overcoming that situation in order to become the person I am today! – “The” Trainer Outdoor Training Specialist /Consultant 12/04/2025

Go To Bed Early  –  Finally, I go to bed early and get a good nights sleep (which is often difficult since menopause). That way I’m well rested and ready for another day! 12/04/2025

Daily Reflection or Meditation  –  Before bed, I reflect on the day, evaluate where I could have been a better person and vow to make the next day the best day it can be. 12/04/2025

Read  –  Night time is my reading time. I love to read and only wish I could keep my eyes open longer to get more reading time in each day. I like to focus on books that will improve my life or get me to think about an issue in a different way. 12/04/2025

Do Something For Someone Else  –  I think it’s so important not to get so caught up in your life that you forget there are others out there who are struggling. I try to find someone to help each day, whether it be a reader with a problem, a friend who needs a shoulder, my daughter who needs me to watch Lucas or just a stranger I meet along the way. It’s important to be of service to others any way we can. 12/04/2025

Drink Plenty of Water  –  If I don’t drink enough water, I don’t feel right. 12/04/2025

Eat Healthily  –  I try my best to eat healthy foods. I don’t always succeed, but when I make a conscious effort in this area of my life, I do well. I have to learn not to let the stressors of the day affect what I put in my mouth. I’m getting better all the time. 12/04/2025

Go For A Walk  –  Around the middle of the day I like to step away from the computer and get moving. I like to go for a walk or do a spinning video. Anything that gets my heart pumping and me sweating. It’s a great stress reliever too! 12/04/2025

Write  –  I love to write in the morning when my mind is clear and fresh. It’s my most creative time of the day, so I make sure I get some good writing time in each day. I hardly ever take a day off. Some days I write for hours and other days I might only get in an hour total. 12/04/2025

Schedule My Time   –   I plan what needs to happen in blocks of time.  I also give myself some extra time just in case a project or post takes longer than anticipated. 12/04/2025

Make My To Do List  –  I have a notebook that I write everything down. In the morning, while sipping on my coffee, I write down all the things in my head that I need to do or that I thought of since the day before. It’s great to get it out of my head and onto paper where I can see it and reflect and expand on it. 12/04/2025

Say My Prayers  –  Starting out the day thanking my God for all the blessings He’s bestowed upon my family and me, reinforces the tone of the day. It’s also an opportunity for me to ask him for the things I need in my life and to seek His guidance on problems that are troubling me. 12/04/2025

Step Outside and Take A Deep Breath  –  I love the smell of the morning air. So almost without fail, I step outside on my deck and take a few deep breaths of the morning air. It gets my heart pumping and my brain awake. If it’s snowing or raining, I stand at the door and do the same thing. 12/04/2025

Wake Up Early  –  I get up early every day without exception (of course, if I’m sick that’s a different story, but I’m hardly ever sick). For me, I love to get up early when the house is quite and start my day. It puts me in a great frame of mind, and I find I am more productive than if I chose to sleep in a bit more. 12/04/2025
