11. Learn to Encourage Yourself

Our generation was taught to not pat ourselves on the back, and to not brag, so this is a little hard for us.  

11.  Learn to encourage yourself and keep it moving.  This is important, especially if you’re an entrepreneur.

When no one’s around, we have to encourage ourselves.  We have to be our own cheerleader.  We have to clap for ourselves, and pat ourselves on the back at times. Everyone has their life to live and is busy doing the best they can, so they’re not always going to be there.  Also, not everyone understands the dream, and are able to capture the vision in order to help us.  It’s ok!  

Be your own encourager, and keep it moving.

10. Not Everyone is Going to Like You

10.  Not everyone is going to like you, it’s ok, just keep it moving.

This is fact. No explanation necessary!  

Remember to like, love and have fun with you, and keep it moving...

9. We All Have Chief Encouragers

9.  The friends who encourage you to start your business or write your book, aren’t necessarily going to spend with you, don’t take it personally.  Their assignment may simply be “encourager” in chief in that season, so keep it moving.

Ok, yeah, this! We all have chief encouragers in our life; that is their assignment.  They are to help jumpstart us into that next level of life, so don’t be mad because they didn’t make any purchases, or show any more support to your business or your new adventure.  Their assignment is complete in that season.  

Thank them for their encouragement and keep it moving.

8. Cry If You Have To

Life can be challenging and hurtful with many twists and turns, highs and lows.  It's Ok!!!  Stay the course.  

8.  Hey, cry if you have to, it’s cleansing for the soul, just remember to keep it moving.  

Crying is good for the soul.  Cry and get the sadness or depressed feelings out of your system.  Sometimes, all we need is a good cry, and then the sadness evaporates. Have you ever experienced that?  You cried, and cried and then when you were done, and you’ve gotten it out of your system, you feel so much better, that you wondered why you were sad in the first place?  All of it is ok.  It’s not a weakness.  It’s cleansing that works wonders.

Have a good cry and keep it moving.  

7. If You’re Depressed, It’s OK!

We are hoarders of all things that makes us happy.  We want to remain in that space forever and sadly that’s not how life works.  This is probably why so many people get addicted to drugs and other stimulants, because they found “something” that made them feel happy, so they try to remain in that constant state of happiness, which isn’t supposed to be.  Then the inevitable happens, the sadness or all the “bad” feelings hit everyone around.

7.  If you’re depressed, it’s ok!  It’s part of life, just don’t stay there, shake yourself and keep it moving.

I understand that there are different levels of depression.  There is the extremely severe kind, where professional help is needed (I’m not referring to that kind here).  However, there are some that are attached to the monthly cycle, peri-menopause or menopause (for women) that may be associated with hormonal levels.  Some are linked to the end of something that makes us sad or depressed.  It’s ok. It’s life.  No, you’re not crazy!  No, you don’t need antidepressants; you just need to find that happy space again.  Do some positive self talk, read a book, find some comedy on television and laugh your head off.  

Take sometime for yourself, by yourself and find your happy, and let’s keep it moving.

6. Don’t Allow Anyone to Get the Best of You

6.  Don’t allow anyone to get the best of you, their offense isn’t against you, it’s against self, so just keep it moving

Many times we project our own internal struggles onto others.  The thing we often hate in others is merely a reflection of ourselves.  Hurting people, hurt people! So, can you imagine what loving people can do?  Loving people, love people!  Don’t allow the negative behaviors of others change you, or change the way you treat others.  The beauty in this is that we can bring balance to us, and our world, by offsetting their negativity with our positivity.

So, let’s keep it moving...

5. Share Your Affirmations

Sharing is caring.  So many times I’ve shared daily affirmations/inspirations with others only to learn later how much they have helped.

5.  Share Your Affirmations or Daily Inspirations with Others, You Might Just be Helping Someone Else, and Keep it Moving

When we help others, we in turn help ourselves.  It’s the boomerang effect.

So remember to share your affirmations/inspirations and keep it moving...
