Feel Good Thoughts Joey Toutounji

Goodmorning,

Today’s Feel Good Thought will reveal how to “Bust a Bad Mood.” In today’s podcast, I want to share some simple, yet effective ways to turn that frown upside down.

Do you want to know how to shift your negative energy to positive when you’re in a bad mood? Anytime, Anywhere...

First, you need to analyze yourself, your mood, and your current atmosphere. When you’re in this mood of yours, what is the reason you are feeling this way? Some factors could include…

A. Lack of sleep
B. Lack of food
C. Long working hours
D. Any other external factor

No matter what the reasoning may be, identify it. Now, that you have identified the cause and effect of your unhappy mood, I challenge you to BUST IT.... Time to make a SHIFT!

When I am feeling down, I turn to some of these modest methods to shift my energy.

1. Think about doing something you love and enjoy. For example, if your passion is exercising, go for a walk and release those “feel good” endorphins.

2. If you love the sun, boost your Vitamin D intake and soak up the sun for a few moments.

3. Listen to your favorite songs and watch funny videos. Believe it or not, this is very effective.

4. Allow yourself peaceful moments that will yield feelings of joy, love, and happiness. Absorb this new state of mind.

These are just a few of the ways you can successfully bust your bad mood.

Don’t forget to smile,

Today I share with you a Feel Good Thoughts Podcast featuring Virginia (Gini) Salas Kastilio, who is a trilingual third culture kid and has grown up all over the world. After a five year career in the high ranking corporates of Apple and Oracle, she has decided to devote her life to the research and spreading of Happiness.

She defines herself as a "Catalyst" and is leading a worldwide movement of raising the collective consciousness to new levels of self love and awareness. Her brand "Ginicanbreathe" is where she shares her social art performances and conscious acts of kindness. She speaks out for autenticity and transparency in all aspects of human life. At the age of 26 she has already touched hundreds of thousands of lives with her work.

Gini shares more about her work in happiness and self love. She shares about an experience in which she had when she walked up to union square and had a sign that read ‘Im standing for anyone who has ever had self esteem issues like me, if you support self love, draw a heart on my body'.

She then stood there blind folded in her underwear with a marker in her hand and as she stood there Gini explains how she waited around 30sec then the first marker was lifted off her hand and someone drew something then constantly for the next hour the marker was lifted and people where approaching her drawing a love heart on her body to show their support for self love. Gini explains...
“Everytime the marker touched down on my body, I felt that connection between all of us that we all feel the same… you are me - I am you…we all have insecurities and we are all battling with the same problem which can be so easily fixed by acceptance and love” 
Tune into the podcast to hear more about her experience and tune into the youtube video below to watch highlights from ‘Standing For Self Love’
 
And as always we finish the Feel Good Thoughts Podcast with one feel good thought, today’s thought is from Gini;
 ‘To every person that you encounter, just leave them happier then they were before. Spread love everywhere you go and when you make that your mission with everybody - it changes everything around. Just be of value, be loving and giving to everyone that you meet’.

Goodafternoon,

I want to end the week with some Feel Good Friday inspiration!!

Today's Feel Good Thought is...If not you, then who?

This inspirational Feel Good Thought today is about having self belief and really believing in you.

There is a great youtube video by knickback which ties in nicely with the theme of if not you then who? It is called “What are you waiting for?”

It talks about “What are you waiting for?” and some of the inspiring words from the song are;

Are you waiting for the right excuse?

Are you waiting for the perfect night?

Are you waiting till the time is right?

Don’t you want to learn to deal with fear?

Don’t you want to take the wheel and steer?

You gotta go reach for the top

Believe in every dream that you got

Your only living once so tell me

What are you waiting for?”

(Click on the youtube video below to watch the entire video)

Aren’t these words above powerful? - What are you waiting for?

The difference between success and failure can be a shortfall of just giving up too soon, so don’t be afraid to keep going and pushing through the challenging times to reach your dreams. Believe in the dreams you have!

Here are three things to consider when thinking about the quote - 'If not you, then who?'

What is Your WHY??
What result are you trying to achieve? Why are you hoping to achieve this?
How would it feel if you achieved this goal?

Remember If not your then who - so go out and work on your dreams. Tune into today’s feel good thought by clicking on the play button above to hear more inspiration about this topic.

Have a great weekend,

Goodmorning,

Today's Feel Good Thought is..."Forget Your Fear and Move Forward!"

In today's podcast, I share some awareness around the emotion of fear. Learn how to overcome fear as it appears with these three steps to consider:

Take time out and just breathe;  It is difficult to find clarity around a fear when you are flooded in the emotion. By sitting and breathing in peace and quiet it will help you to slow down, find some calmness and understand why you are feeling the fear. So, by slowing down, focusing on the breathe it can help with decreasing any stress around the fear and seeking some stillness and clarity.
Talk it out: Speak to someone about your fear and talk it out! When you are able to share the fear with another it can help with overcoming the fear, they may be able to support you so you feel a decrease in the fearful emotion and it also can help with putting things in perspective.
Take Action: Knowing that if you speak to someone about your fear, work through the awareness of why you are feeling the fear and take some time out to just breathe, then you are one step closer to moving forward by taking action. When taking action you are seeking a way towards finding a solution and moving forward.

Goodmorning!

Today's Feel Good Thought is about disconnecting from technology and reconnecting to self and this begins by being mindful of the time spent on the phone.
The thought for today is... 'Put down your phone and reconnect to self'
Be mindful today of the time you are spending looking at a screen, whether it be a computer screen, phone, ipad etc... We can fill so many quiet moments in our day by looking at our phone and scrolling through social media. Today I share with you some ways in which you can put down your phone, disconnect from technology and reconnect to self.

Step outside and just breathe. If you are working indoors on the computer all day, think about what do you do on your lunch break. If you are tempted to check your phone, try to take some moments of timeout to step outside instead and get some fresh air, take a look around at the environment that surrounds you and have gratitude for what you see.
Spend lunchtime with a colleague and enjoy lunch chatting with each other. Instead of spending lunchtime, eating and hanging out on to social media, hang out with a colleague and chat instead.
Focus on your food. Turn the phone off or put it away when you eat a meal. When we focus on what we eat, we enjoy the meal more and are more mindful of how much food we are consuming.
20minutes before bedtime, disconnect from any techonology and do something nourishing for you such as enjoy a cup of tea or listen to relaxing music, read a book or use this time as a reflection time to think about the best part of the day and people who you are grateful for in your life.

Today think about how can you disconnect from technology and reconnect to self. Listen to the podcast by clicking on the play button above to find out more.

Have a beautiful day,

The purpose of my life is... Have you ever thought about this sentence? Well, in today's Feel Good Thoughts Podcast #47 I share with you a moment I had 6 years ago when I was at a Anthony Robbins conference called Date With Destiny and how I went through a process to unfold and dig deep with my life purpose.

In the podcast today I share more about the process and how I came up with this phrase which sums up my life purpose being...
The purpose of my life is to spread my wings like a butterfly, sprinkling my love, faith and passion to all those around me.
This 'purpose' mantra really helps to ground me and reminds me of where I am at, what I want to do and how I want to help serve humanity. And even through times when I am challenged or times when I'm thinking am I on the right path... am I sticking to how I want to serve and help sprinkle my love, faith and passion to others, I just bring myself back to that feel good thought of what my purpose is.
Today I challenge you to think about what is your purpose? What is it that drives you and what is it that you want to achieve and do?
Tune into today's Feel Good Thoughts Podcast #47 to hear more about living your life purpose.
Have a beautiful day!
Joey
