    18. Ten Tips to Transform Your Morning Routine! Re-tool your morning routine within the first fifteen minutes.

    Morning routines boost happiness, reduce stress, increase productivity and create a solid foundation to launch you into your day.  But it can be hard to create an effective one, let alone stick to it.  As I am re-tooling my morning routine now that none of my kids are at home, I thought I’d share some of my favorite tips for transforming your morning routine.  Here are a few key takeaways from today’s episode: You have a morning routine, it just may not be very supportive. There are things you cannot change about your morning, but you DO have influence and impact on what you pack into your morning routine. An ‘alarm’ is designed to trigger your fight or flight instinct.  Think about that; maybe not the most peaceful way to start your day.   Feel all four corners of your feet on the floor, the very first thing, to ground you into your day. The synapsis in your brain will fire differently if you do NOT look at your cell phone first thing.  Both a short routine and long routine can meet all your essential start-your-day needs.   Don’t give up on a morning routine just because you aren’t a morning person. Commitment to your morning routine begins the night before. Hydration, movement, mediation - some is better than none.  Pick one area of improvement in your morning routine and just work on that one thing. Perfection is NOT the goal!

    16. 10 Tips to Curb Your Post-Vacation or End of Summer Blues

    Do you ever feel blah for days on end after you get home from vacation?  Or even just now as kids go back to school and we approach the end of summer?   Here are 10 super practical tips to curb those post vacation blues and dive back into your happiness lifestyle, enjoying the fruits of authentic positive thinking and stellar self-care!   Today's Takeaways: Post vacation blues are real; but be mindful of who you seek support from.   Plan ahead, if, and where, you can. Get your body moving but give yourself time to rebuild after you get home. Jet lag, flight fatigue, car exhaustion is real - and although you are close to being a super woman, you too will be affected by them.   Buy a water bottle, mug, or glass to hydrate from when you get home. Have something from your trip to trip your senses.  Intentionally reminisce over photos during coffee or dinner. Incorporate little things into your day that intentionally bring you joy. Don’t take it out on others.   The 72 Hour Rule!

    15. How to shine through the brokenness! Brigette Heller explores how to change your thoughts to change your life.

    Are you ready to shine?  In this interview, Brigette Heller, founder of The Strong and Capable, explores how to change your thoughts in order to change your life, regardless of, yet deeply aware of, what is going on around you.  She shares her transformation through anxiety, postpartum depression, trauma and physical pain to self-care, creativity, grace and honesty… all while finding the beauty in the brokenness.  This honest and open interview will surely inspire and ignite your own journey to joy in the face of life’s everyday challenge and stress.  Key takeaways:      You have the power to change your thoughts and rewrite your life.     The moment you say, “Don’t need that; I’m good,” and let it go is often the moment you get the thing you are seeking.       True strength is knowing when to push, knowing when to pull; knowing when to keep going, knowing when to rest, knowing how to keep your tank full instead of empty.     You are not serving the people you love when you sacrifice your own self-care.       Boundaries are critical to self-care.     Life is not lived in the extremes.  It is lived in the middle.       You have so much knowledge within you.  It’s less about learning new tools and more about putting the tools you have into action.      Healing comes from the inside out.     Journaling is the bridge between your mind and your heart. It’s really ok to rock it!  Your most authentic self is your most beautiful self. And, of course, GLITTER shines brighter than gold BECAUSE it is broken.

    13. Happiness Hack: Manage Your Bandwidth NOT Your Time. How to find more time & energy managing your bandwidth rather than your time.

    Stop managing your time and start managing your bandwidth!  My guess is you have less time and less energy than you would like.  If that’s you, ditch the time management and start managing your bandwidth.  You know you best.  You know what you do and don’t have capacity for.  Be honest with yourself!  Schedule your self-care first.  Start by writing down your fundamental needs.  Because there is zero sustainability if you are not taking care of your self-care needs first.  Behind every no there is a yes.  And mindset strategies are as important to bandwidth management as smart calendaring skills. You are enough!  You are doing enough!  Calendar with a nourishing, nurturing heart.      Learn >>> www.finallyeffinghappy.com Connect >>>  finallyeffinghappy@gmail.com Community >>>  bit.ly/finallyeffinghappygroup Email List >>> https://bit.ly/TheEffingEmailList Voicemail >>> 860-385-1088

    12. Toolbox Talk: Never Let Disability Keep You From Your Dreams! An Interview with Alison Hayes, Founder of Thriving While Disabled

    Never Let Disability Keep You From Your Dreams! Managing Medical Care to Mindset… & Everything In-Between An Interview with Alison Hayes, Founder of Thriving While Disabled Alison Hayes, Founder of Thriving While Disabled, is as passionate as I am that dreams are possible even if you live with chronic illness.   In this interview we talk about everything from managing medical care to mindset… including, prioritizing, finding doctor right, information overload, social welfare systems, and staying in the now.  She talks honestly about the embarrassment and shame people can have when needing to learn more about social welfare programs.  She is a font of personal and professional knowledge to help you on your chronic illness journey so that you, too, can live your dreams, even if, especially if, you live with a chronic condition.  A few takeaways from today’s episode:  Start where you are at and work from there.   Online communities and organizations specific to your diagnosis are a good place to start, and anchor yourself, when gathering information.    Use google docs or notes to list your two or three go-to websites so when you are in the middle of brain fog you can quickly and clearly find those references.  Social welfare programs like Disability, SSI, Snap Benefits, may be a part of your health equation, and, although there may be some embarrassment or shame about getting more information, it’s ok to ask for help.   Treat your chronic illness management like a job.  It helps to stay in right now.  In other words, don’t live in the ‘wreckage of your future’, getting anxious about things that have not happened and may never happen.  Beyond your health management, pick one thing you really love, and just do that one thing for right now.   Your goal is to see the fewest number of doctors possible while being the best health possible. Don’t let your chronic illness keep you from living the life of your dreams.   Where to find Alison >>>www.thrivingwhiledisabled.com Facebook Group >>> https://www.facebook.com/groups/207663193339740 Instagram >>> https://www.instagram.com/thrivingw.disabled/ Twitter >>> @Thrivingwdisabl   Where to find Shannon & Finally Effing Happy: Learn More >>> www.finallyeffinghappy.com Connect >>>  finallyeffinghappy@gmail.com Facebook Community >>>  bit.ly/finallyeffinghappygroup Email List >>> https://bit.ly/TheEffingEmailList Voicemail >>> 860-385-1088
