motivational – A Dose of Inspiration

I have been eating Dove Candy for days now! Mostly the peanut butter ones. Creamy peanut butter in the center of milk chocolate. Heaven on Earth, right?! I am the biggest fan of peanut butter. Oh, yum!

And the Dove Candy company is so inspirational! Chocolate tastes so much better showered in inspiration. And on the inside of each little wrapper is an inspirational message! I decided to collect all the little inspiring messages and share them here!

So here’s the list!

Too much of a good thing is wonderful

Lose yourself in a moment

Daydreaming is free

Your smile lights up the room

Buy yourself flowers

Follow your instincts

Love what you do

Dance with your heart

Get out there and make your dreams happen

Remind yourself to relax

Feel the sun on your face

You know what? You look good in red

Happiness looks great on you

Take a moment for yourself

Dare to dream

Chocolate is a gift of love

Escape for a moment

Make time for yourself

Treat yourself today

Chocolate loves unconditionally

It’s definitely a bubble bath day

Be the first to hit the dance floor

You have a great laugh

You’re invited to relax today

Naughty can be nice

Do what feels right

Write a real letter, not just an email.

Remember your first everything

Make a list of your dreams

Smiling is free

Take this moment. Enjoy it.

Live your dreams

Happiness is in the heart, not in the circumstances.

Discover yourself

Temptation is fun…giving in is even better.

Smile before bed. You’ll sleep better.

Someone is thinking of you right now.

Encourage your sense of daring.

Take a deep breath & exhale.

Dare to love completely.

Decorate your life.

Find your passion

You’re gorgeous.

You’re already gorgeous, gorgeous!

Treat yourself today.

Share a chocolate moment with a friend.

You worked hard – promise yourself a reward.

Keep the promises you make to yourself.

Sometimes one smile means more than a dozen roses.

The only certainty in life is smooth chocolate.

Love without rules.

Hey, why not?

It’s OK to be flawed AND fabulous!

Calories only exist if you count them.

;-D

Can’t really argue with most of these, can you?!

I love little reminders and symbols that represent positive things. No matter how happy & inspired we are in general, there will be days and moments where we are uninspired, ungrateful, angry, stressed, and forget to stop and appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world. I find that little tangible things such as jewelry, totem stones, or pins can give us little doses of inspiration and remind us to stay positive, be happy, and/or that things can be ok and get better.

I have three bracelets, a ring, and a necklace that all inspire me. The ring says “Love Life” on the outside and “Be Brave” on the inside, the one bracelet says “Love Life” on one side and “Be Brave” on the other, and the other bracelet says “Celebrate Life” and the other says “Strength”. The necklace is a cornucopia heart necklace that reminds me to give thanks for everything, everyday and love what I have and what I am.

I also used to have a cornucopia pin and two totem stones, one saying “Strength” & one saying “Gratitude.”

JCPenny, Target, and WalMart all sell inspirational jewelry that is not very expensive. I bought some there before for no more than twenty dollars each. They have sterling silver and silver plated rings, necklaces, and bracelets that say or symbolize strength, kindness, courage, determination, love, and so much more.

Also you can read about and order a “Positive Pin” here: http://www.positivepin.com/

I haven’t purchased one yet but I love the idea and will get one soon. Whenever you see the pin it will remind you to be positive.

Here is some jewelry at http://www.walmart.com. I have the sterling silver “Celebrate Life” bracelet for $15.00.

You don’t even need jewelry or anything that you have to buy. You can make something on your own or use index cards and markers or colored pencils. I have a plastic container that holds index cards. I love to write inspirational words, messages, quotes, and song lyrics on the cards. Or you can buy a box of plain special occasion cards with pictures on the front but plain inside so you can color or write what you want.

I don’t generally promote extreme materialism and do not believe we need material objects to be happy or inspired or to feel valuable or worthy. But I do love the idea of having one or a few tangible reminders and inspirational little gems to uplift us.

<3. If you like this idea, I hope you find your perfect little inspirational gem to carry around, wear, or keep with you. Or if you already have something like this, I would love to read about it!

And always remember, “You can be greater than anything that can happen to you”!!!
