Evaluate Your Life

Okay so there's a really simple way to evaluate how your life is going in general and when it comes to specifics. Basically you break it down into three parts as shown above. All you have to do is rate on a scale from one to five your happiness, healthiness and hopefulness for your life in general or for a specific part of your life. For example, if everything in your life is going perfect your chart will look like the one from above. If you're healthy and hopeful for the future but your happiness is around a three then your score would go from fifteen to twelve. Overall you would still be on the positive end of things but you would still need to work on your happiness. If you want to apply this principle to a specific part of your life you can do that as well. Let's say you're evaluating your romantic relationship. If your score is around a seven then your relationship is about halfway where it needs to be. If you scored lowest in hopefulness but your relationship makes you happy and is healthy you can work on determining why in your mind it really doesn't seem to play out in the future. The beauty of this chart is it's simplicity. It's easy to determine what needs work in your life when you are only having to pick between happiness, hopefulness and healthiness. What's great is these three areas cover essentially everything in your life when evaluating your life in general and can be used for specific purposes as well. Sometimes sticking with something simple is really helpful and can help you to decipher which part of your life is really lacking attention.

Refreshed and Renewed

RealLifeExperienceD Podcast is having an episode tonight called refreshed and renewed. In the podcast I discuss all the new ways that I plan on sharing information and ideas. My goal has always been to create authentic ways to solve real-life problems. I like to gather information and then chunk it together to create innovative solutions to help people become happier and more productive. The thing about this is that there is so much generic information online when it comes to self help or any topic related to increasing happiness and living the life you want. My plan is to gather information from as many different sources as possible and then chunk it together to create something different. I want people to be able to relate to the information I share and be able to apply it to their lives easily and effectively. Refreshed and renewed is not only the title of my next episode for my podcast but is somewhat of an explanation of what this blog will be. Some days I will give advice on happiness or productivity and other days I may share something inspirational. Other days I may share with you something original someone else has created that I have found helpful, or I may post something just to make people laugh. I want for this blog to make you feel refreshed and renewed. You can check out the episode on blogtalkradio tonight or look it up in the archives. Either way I hope you enjoy my future blogs and I plan to post at least once a day. This blog is to help me grow while helping others grow as well. I hope you enjoy the podcast and brace yourself for future blogs containing some self-help information that you may actually be able to apply and use! I'll talk with you guys soon and thanks for reading!

Fundraiser Heidi

What's up everybody? I decided to share this story with everyone first because it is the most important story I will ever write. My daughter, Heidi Marie, was born December 20, 2008. Unfortunately there were some complications at birth which eventually resulted in the diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy. Heidi has brightened my life and makes it infinitely better every day. She is such a happy child and does not let her disability stop her from accomplishing anything. She is so strong and has inspired me to take on the challenges I face with a positive attitude. Heidi is always optimistic in everything she does, and any mistakes she makes are turned into lessons for her to apply the next time she tries something new or difficult. Any time Heidi falls she stands right back up ready to walk again. I am so proud to be her mom and feel lucky to get to say she is my daughter. Everyone at her school tells me how much Heidi brightens up their days. When I hear those comments I can't help but smile. If you happen to be even a little down when she's with you than you should expect a lot of hugs, kisses and of course an " I Love You" every five minutes until you are smiling. She is warmhearted, amiable and never gives up! Her constant determination helps her to find her own way to deal with the physical challenges that her diagnosis presents her with. I learn so much from her every day and any success I have in life I owe to her. She has taught me to stay motivated and confident in any situation and to learn lessons from my mistakes because they will only make me better in the end. I have always wanted to create a fundraiser to help other children with the same diagnosis as Heidi but who may not have the opportunity to get the help they need. When I went to the bookstore to find some information on creating a fundraiser for Cerebral Palsy all I could find were books on Autism. I was hurt to see the lack of awareness for CP so I decided to use my blog and podcast to try and raise people's awareness of Cerebral Palsy. I created FundraiserHeidi to help other people who suffer with this diagnosis. You can check out the FundraiserHeidi website by clicking the link below. Any donations and shares are appreciated. The money goes straight to hospitals around the Baton Rouge Area to help people specifically with CP. The most helpful advice that I have learned from Heidi is to be creative and unique in all that you do, never to give up because with practice and determination anything is possible and last but not least always remember to SMILE. It is contagious! :]
