Welcome Fabulous!

Thank you for taking a moment to stop by - you are fantastic!

Fabulous in the moment is about tuning into the present and seeing how great we are NOW.  

How many of us have beaten ourselves up for saying something we thought was ‘stupid’ in the workplace or vowed if we just lose those pesky ten pounds, that then we’ll feel good about ourselves?

These are just some examples of the ways we prevent ourselves from really being in the current moment.  Far too often we spend our time overanalyzing past experiences or freaking out over what's to come of the future.  Much of our society's emphases have led to habitual tendencies such as harsh self-judgments, lack of confidence, and fear of the unknown.  Side effects include negative body image, co-dependent relationships, high stress levels, and what's worst - wasting time.  

By staying in the present, however, we can start to lessen yesterday's regrets or the wishful thoughts of what we think will make us happy and simply let go.  We can embrace all that we are today and start to feel good about who we are now, in this very minute.  This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t learn from our previous instances or not plan for the future, but to not dwell and just be mindful of them.  This is the path that leads us toward our true self-discovery.  

Try to take a moment now, notice your surroundings and the world happening around you.  Close your eyes if you'd like and take a soft, delibrate, breath.  Feel it go through your lungs and deep into your body. Pause and take delight in it.  Then exhale slowly, opening your eyes once again.  

Afterwards, smile, because you are fabulous, right here and now, and nothing can take that away from you.
