What do you want to create that’s tangible and/or intangible?
Do you feel called to create a business? Are you called to create harmony in your home?
What are the things that prevent you from creating what you are meant to create?!
Time, energy, lack of ideas, lack of money, fear of what people might say, not creative enough, feeling like it doesn’t matter!
Are you called to create something that is intangible?

Take control over the one (and only) thing you can control…YOU!
Think about the things in your life that you do that maybe aren’t working out so well and control is one of those things that does not work.
Trying to control everything and people in your life doesn’t work!
It’s like trying to force something that you can’t force like trying
to bend a steel bar with your hands. You just can’t!
Think about this, doesn’t wanting control only give you stress
and make you feel stressed?
I know it does. It creates stress in your heart and mind, and in
your physical body, as well as creating stress in your family.
If you’re focused on what you are called to create, then you
won’t have time to focus on all the things you don’t have any control over!
It’s hard to create when you’re so busy trying to control
everything in your life, there’s no way that you can focus on
being creative because creating and being creative, you have
to be able to open your mind and let the ideas come. Creating cannot be controlled or forced.
When you’re trying to control everything, it’s super exhausting! Have you noticed that?
At the end of the day you’re so exhausted, mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically too.
It can be very frustrating when you’re trying to control
everything and everyone when you don’t get your way, and you can’t have that control that you’re wanting and you’re trying to force.
It’s not worth it!
Some of the many reasons why you’re trying to control things are because you feel like you don’t have any worth or value, or you’re not important.
And, the way that you try to feel valued and feel of your worth is
to try and control the things and the outcomes and control people and to get them to do what you want.
Other reasons could be that if you grew up in a household where there’s a lot of turbulence or violence and just unhappiness, or people are degrading each other and you feel like you have no control over what’s happening.
The only way you feel like you can prevent any of that
abuse is to try and control every single thing in your life to make sure that that same thing doesn’t happen to you as an adult.
It’s just exhausting and it’s not worth it!
You have to take a step back and see what’s going on in your life and decide if that’s what you want.
Turn to God for help if you feel like you have to control everything and to ask Him to be able to let that go and to know that He loves you. There’s a better way of doing things.
There’s are some of the benefits and payoffs for not trying to control everything, you only have control over yourself:
You could sleep better at night.
You would be less stressed.
You could see all the beauty that exists around you and in this world.
You could feel happier.
Take an inventory of your life and think about the things that you do. Is it working for you? Is there a blind spot that you have?
You can feel better. You can connect your heart and your mind together to be one where you do things and it’s a benefit to you, and then it benefits everyone else around you.
Do this today because you have worth and value.
You are here for a purpose and you were called to create and
when you partner with God amazing things will happen.

I hope you had a great New Year celebration and that you enjoyed yourself on New Year's Day.
Here in Hawaii, New Year's Eve is crazy. There's a lot of people burning and popping fireworks and pretty much blowing up their money, but it was loud and it was raining.
I wanted to talk to you about what you discovered in 2021 because in order to move forward to a new year, you have to actually take a look back at the previous year.
Did you even have a chance to think about what you discovered and what happened? The Good The Bad, the Ugly? Did you or were you able to fulfill your dreams?
What did you discover in 2021?
Did you have a chance to even really think about what you discovered about your dreams, your life, things you need to change?
And this is another opportunity for you to see what God has in store for you too. Because I hope you turn to God for help and direction and guidance in your life.
I do that all the time because I need help. There's just no way I can live on this earth without God's help. And I want you to do that too because you'll discover some amazing things. God has plans for you.
You have 365 more opportunities for growth and expansion this new year.

What did you discover this year in 2021?
Did you have a chance to even really think about what you discovered about your dreams, your life, things you need to change?
Like maybe bad habits?!
Or, did you discover wonderful things about yourself because
it’s really easy to not allow yourself to discover or think anything good about yourself?
Even though this podcast is about what you’re called to create, I like to talk about your heart and your mind and your dreams and your desires because those are the two things(your heart and your mind) that affect your whole life.
When you work on your heart and your mind, you are able to move forward towards your dreams and what you’re called to create.
I love to talk about creating because I know that God put us here on this earth for many reasons, and one of them is to create.
We are given gifts and talents and everyone’s gift is different so creating will be different.
Now’s a good time to think about what you want to create in your life? What did you discover that you did or didn’t do, or what did you discover about yourself?
When you talk about discovering, it’s endless on what you can talk about because we live different lives and we do different things.
Children are a good example of discovery! They want to discover everything and look for things, and it would be so amazing if we could have the same attitude as children do.
I want you to do that for yourself starting now! You don’t have to wait until 2022.
Do this for yourself because the more you can discover things, that’s when the possibilities of creation open up.
It’s amazing what you can create for your own life because creating is not only about making things with our hands, creating is all about our life, we create everything. We create our homes, our lives,
our jobs, our businesses. We create our families.
Everything we do is a creation.
Do this because your dreams matter and you have worth and value, so pay attention to all the discoveries that you’ve made.

Did You See Your Glass As Half Empty or Half Full This Year?
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season even though we have New Year’s coming up and had a great month of December!
I hope you were able to listen to all the holiday wish episodes and if you didn’t have a chance, please go back and listen to them because I wanted to share some holiday wishes for you. I hope you were able to receive those holiday wishes!
And, now with it being the last week in December 2021, I wanted to wrap things up for this year and ask you if you saw your glass half empty or half full.
We all know that this pandemic has affected so many people and their families in so many different ways, so what kind of attitude did you have this year? Were you able to see your glass half empty or half full?
We all come from different backgrounds and have different personalities and everyone will choose how they want to see life.
Seeing the glass half empty or half full is just a metaphor for how you look at life and the things that go on in your own personal life.
I love this metaphor because it’s easy to understand.
Some people will look at the glass and see it as half empty and not realize that that’s how they look at their life, that they feel like they're missing out on things, or that their life has no meaning, or that bad things always happen to them.
But, if you could switch it around and look at your glass half full, you still have more goodness that you could put in your glass and into your life and work towards the desires of your heart.
I look at my glass as half full, and there are so many things I want to do and accomplish and places I want to travel to!
But, not 100% of the time, I have days or times throughout the year where I like life has too many trials going on or there’s too much stress where I’ll feel like the glass is half empty, and somebody took my water from my glass!
Then I think about it after and realize that I’m having a moment of frustration and exhaustion, so then I start to focus on how I want to live my life and the values that I have.
There’s a lot of good in the world and I want you to start looking at your glass as half full if you are one of those that look at it that way, and I want to invite you to switch it around and look at your glass as half full and be ready to fill it and enjoy the rest of your life.
We live in a world today where there are so many opportunities to fulfill your dreams, so take this opportunity now that we're at the end of the year and write in your journal-all the things you want
to fill your cup with.
When you start fulfilling your dreams, it changes who you are and starts to radiate that happiness that you’ll be feeling.
Write out all your dreams and desires even the ones you’ve had since you were a child. Don’t ever let yourself, talk yourself out of your dreams.
Share your dreams with someone who will cheer you on.
Do this for yourself today! No, if, ands, or buts!

This Holiday Wish episode is on GENEROSITY.
AND, that is the holiday wish I want to share with you.
In episode #190, I talked about GIVING and how it’s so much
more than giving a gift and that it’s a two-way thing(for lack of better words). It should be reciprocal, that’s what we want
anyway!
When you talk about generosity, it’s on a whole other level because generosity means to give liberally and not be selfish.
So, it’s very different than giving, like giving of your time.
How do you get to the point of being generous naturally
without having to think about it?
I have seen it and have gone through this before where there
are a lot of people who are not generous. They have no desire
to give of their time, or their money, or to give a gift, and if they
do it’s usually half-heartedly.
To be generous, you have to be confident in yourself that you
have enough because being generous is about giving as much
as you possibly can without reservation. It’s about giving from your heart and not worrying about if you’re going to go bankrupt, or you’re going to lose your home or go hungry because you
can’t pay your bills.
Generosity is what the whole world is based off-of like love,
where you have to have love and generosity in order to make
the world go-round and make society work.
I have met so many people who have so much generosity and love in their whole being, and they just ooze this generosity and they have so much love in them.
That’s exactly how my best friend is, she just has this love and kindness and generosity that just radiates from her, it’s not something that she has to try and do, it’s a gift that God gave
her.
It’s easier to become better as I get older because I’ve learned from all my mistakes and the experiences I’ve had that have
taught me great lessons.
I can give without worrying about if I have enough money in my bank account, or I don’t have to worry about if I give my money
or my time that I’ll be depleted.
Because generosity is the complete opposite of lack.
Think about it because it’s so easy to think about “me, me, me”
all the time and “what is it that I want”. But the moment you
step outside of yourself, and serve someone and see how you
can lift someone else, the more it comes back to you.
It’s one of those things that you get what you give.
I want you to generous this holiday season and for the rest of
your life, and think about how you can get to that point of being generous naturally without you having to think about it because
it’s who you’ve become and who you are.
I like to look at what the Savior when He lived on the earth, and
He is a living God and I always think about how can I become
more like the Savior would want me to become, how can I follow
in His footsteps and how can I become a better person even though I’ll never reach perfection here on earth.
Go out and see how you can serve someone and be generous.
Happy Holidays!

This Holiday Wish episode is on TRUST.
AND, that is the holiday wish I want to share with you.
Do you trust yourself? Do you trust people?
Trust is a very interning topic because it can bring up a lot of emotions for people.
If you look up the definition of trust in the dictionary, it says
that trust is to rely upon or place confidence in someone or
something. And I’ll add that yourself in that definition.
Are you one of those that can place confidence in yourself?
We can’t control anyone else, we can only control ourselves,
what we say, what we think, what we do.
Are you reliable with yourself because of the fact that you can
only control yourself?
Are you good to yourself where you can rely on yourself and
trust yourself, and place confidence in yourself where you’re
going to do what you say you’re going to do?
Sometimes if you’re having a hard time being reliable in your personal life, it will show up in your work or your job.
Because if you grew up in a house where there wasn’t any
trust, then it becomes very hard to trust yourself or other
people as an adult.
But now is a good time to start to do what you say you’re
going to do and especially that you’re going to trust in
yourself that you’ll do what is right.
Life becomes easier when you do what is right and start
trusting in yourself.
You want to live a life where you know people will trust you
and that they know that you’ll do what is right because we
have to live with people and around people.
You want to be able to place that confidence in yourself
because when you do, it becomes something that radiates
from you.
You become a better person when you pay attention to what
you do and what you say, and whether you things that are right
or not.
We are going to make mistakes, that’s just part of life, but you
can turn to God and ask for help.
Turn to God when you need help the most because you want
to trust yourself the most.
Start doing all the things that need to be done so that you can trust in the person that you look at in the mirror every day.
So, figure out what kind of person you want to become and
start trusting in yourself and just take those little steps every single day.
Happy Holidays!

This Holiday Wish episode is on GRATITUDE.
AND, that is the holiday wish I want to share with you.
Gratitude is more than being thankful.
Being thankful could be defined or described as being happy
or relieved for something that has happened or for something someone has done for you. It could possibly leave your mind
or fade over time.
Have you ever said or heard someone say “I”m so grateful that I have a roof over my head and food to eat” or “I’m grateful that I have a family” or “I’m grateful that I have a job”?
Being grateful and having gratitude is just that, it’s that deep
down feeling and emotions for the important things in your life
that really matters the most.
And, these are the things that won’t or don’t fade over time,
unless you start to take things for granted or something
happens in your life.
Being grateful can bring a feeling of calm and could also help
you feel at peace in your life.
Take the time to write in your journal all the things that you’re grateful for and you never know what your life will be like after that.
And that's my holiday wish for you today. I wish that you will
have gratitude and that other people will be grateful for you.
Happy Holidays!

This Holiday Wish episode is on GIVING.
AND, that is the holiday wish I want to share with you.
I wish for you to receive [giving] and to give [giving] if that makes any sense. And I want to start off and talk about giving in a way where we can kind of understand about giving because, you know when we think of giving, you know, it's like you're giving something or you're giving a gift to someone. But if you really think about it, giving is a two-way thing. It's like the person receiving the giving has to be able to receive it and want it so it has to be reciprocal.
And it's not only about giving gifts or buying someone a present especially now during the holiday season.
Giving is so much more than giving a gift or buying a present because when you think about giving something it usually has to do with either giving of your time, giving your energy, giving your emotions, giving a gift and you have to use money sometimes when you have to buy a gift, or sometimes you give money.
And giving is such a big topic too because it involves so many of those things, your time, talent, energy, and emotions. But if you think about it, we give because we want to feel good. We want to be able to have someone receive what we're giving no matter what it is because we will always get something in return.
And that's a good thing when you give something because you want something in return. It's good when you're doing it for the right reasons where you're giving because you want someone to love you back like when you're in a relationship you give love because you want to receive love. And you also give love because that's the right thing to do.
And because people are so different, we all have different personalities, different thoughts, and ideas, different upbringings we will always give differently because we are different people. And that's the beauty of humanity is that we give differently because we are different.
Can you imagine in a world where we're all the same, we just are like robots, but we're not so it's so wonderful to see all the different ways that people give of their time and energy and money.
And, share your talents and your gifts, that’s part of giving and that's another reason why you have gifts and talents is to give
and to share with people because that is what makes the world
go round, it will brighten someone else's day.
So I want you to think about the kind of giving that you give. What is it that you do that is just natural. Do you just naturally give up your time because that's just who you are? Do you just naturally give gifts or money to people?
Do you give your warmth of love and compassion?
Sometimes all people want is just a listening ear or somebody to love and care for them or care about them. So think about the ways that you can give and be giving in a good and positive way.
Think about our Savior when he walked the earth. He gave us his time and love and he gave all that he had to help people and to teach. And I encourage you to use the Savior as an example in giving because he is the perfect example.
Reach out to your neighbor or anyone who you know could use five minutes of your time.
We all have five minutes to give to someone in need. What can you give today to brighten someone's day and to make someone else's life better?
We all have something to give that comes from a good place. We all have been given the gift of giving and love. So tap into that. And remember you have worth and value.
Give the gift of giving of your time and your love to someone because this is what will fill your life with joy. If someone is giving something to you remember to receive it because when you give something or your time or energy to someone you want them to receive it and receive it with love and joy.
That's what makes this world so beautiful when we can give and receive because receiving is part of giving.
And that's my holiday wish for you today.
Happy Holidays!

This Holiday Wish episode is on KINDNESS.
AND, that is the holiday wish I want to share with you.
Because I hope that people treat you with kindness and that
you treat people with kindness too.
Kindness could be described as nice or gentle.
We definitely need more nice and gentle people in this world.
Do you think about treating people with kindness in your daily
life?
Do you realize that without kindness, the world will be a very
dark place? Just like if the world didn’t have any love, the world would be very dark.
When you were growing up, did your parents teach you to be
kind and to say please and thank you?
I’m so grateful to my mom for teaching me to be polite and to
treat people how I want to be treated when I’m out in the world.
One of my top values is kindness! I don’t believe in being nasty
to people no matter how I’m feeling, or if I’m having a bad day.
I hope you think about the topic of kindness today.
What about acts of kindness? Do you think about how you can
do an act of kindness?
When you make it a practice of doing acts of kindness, it
changes your perspective on life, and it gets you to think
outside of yourself and to serve someone.
That’s what God wants for us, is to become better and to get outside of ourselves
You’ll be amazed at the kind of person you become.
What about smiling at someone when you’re out and about. Do you smile at people? That’s another act of kindness when you smile at someone. You never know how much of a difference you could make in someone’s day.
It also makes a difference in how you feel about yourself.
Happy Holidays!

This Holiday Wish episode is on FAITH.
AND, that is the holiday wish I want to share with you.
I love learning and talking about faith! I think it’s one of those topics that are important and sometimes hard to hard to understand unless you are actively walking with faith.
It’s also not tangible. You can’t hold it, or touch it.
And everyone has their own definition of faith and what it means
to them.
But, faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith isn’t a one-time thing, it’s an ongoing practice and for that reason, you have to have a practice of choosing faith, even when things are hard or you have fear.
Faith is something that God wants you to have.
You have to move forward in faith and trust in God that all things will work out for your good.
Faith is so powerful! You also have to be obedient to God’s laws and commandments if you want the blessings that come with
faith.
Happy Holidays!

This Holiday Wish episode is on GOODNESS.
AND, that is the holiday wish I want to share with you.
The dictionary definition of Goodness is the quality or state of being good.
I know you want to have goodness! We are born with goodness inside of us given to us by God.
I know you want to do good in your life, especially during this holiday season.
Have you ever said that “I’m a good person" or have your heard other people say ‘I’m a good person’?
I’m here to tell you that you are a good person and that you do have goodness inside of you, even if you have struggles or
habits that make you think that you don’t have goodness.

This Holiday Wish episode is on GENTLENESS.
AND, that is the holiday wish I want to share with you.
I would describe gentleness as something so moving that it
makes you feel so good.
Think about if you’ve ever carried someone’s baby or carried
your own baby, didn’t you do it with the most extreme gentleness ever?
And, you didn’t want to hurt the baby and you were soft and delicate.
Gentleness is free from being harsh or rough.
Focus and think about how you treat yourself and how you live your life, do you treat yourself with gentleness?
Once you understand yourself, it’s so easy to understand your life and the life around you.
Life becomes so much better to live.
If you just take notice of how you’re treating yourself, how you’re treating people, it allows our hearts and minds to work together.
Think about gentleness today, we need a lot more gentleness in our lives and in this world.
Happy Holidays!

And patience is the holiday wish I want for you.
When I think of the word patience, doesn’t it makes my eyes bigger? If you know what I mean.
Isn’t it funny that we are patient with things that are super important to us, but, not so patient if it’s not that important!

This Holiday Wish episode is on PEACE.
And peace is the holiday wish I want for you.
What do you think of when you hear the word PEACE?
Do you think of peace of mind, peace, and quiet, or peace in
your heart, contentment?
Peace is something that so many people want, and some may
not know how to get or find peace.
And, it’s also one of those things that you wouldn’t seek out or
try to find like how you would with love or joy.
It’s usually not top of mind until your life gets noisy or crazy and stressful.
I like to describe peace as stillness, feeling a ‘calm’ in your heart and your mind and there’s no chaos.
You cannot have peace if you have anger, contention, or hate in your heart and your mind.
Peace will come when you have forgiven everyone that you think or feel has done something wrong to you.
Strive to have peace in your heart and in your life.
Happy Holidays!

Holiday Wish episode on Joy
JOY is the holiday wish I want to share with you.
We need more Joy!
JOY is more than happiness, it goes beyond just being happy,
it’s an inner feeling.
Joy can feel like it’s deep and you feel it in your whole body or
in the depths of your soul, and it feels like it’s never going to
end, and the best part of that is that you could even have a
joyful expression on your face.
Wouldn’t that be so cool if you could always have a joyful expression!
Joy can fill your whole being when you’re in a state of gratitude and being thankful for ALL that you are, all that you have, all
that you are able to do, and more.
Joy comes to you so powerfully when you serve!
The kind of service I’m talking about is like how Jesus Christ service people when He lived on earth.
True Joy comes when you serve people and forget about
yourself. It does NOT include serving someone where money
is involved like a business.
Examples of serving and service are when you check on your neighbor or a family member-do they need help? Can you
bring a warm meal to someone? What about bringing a plate
of cookies to someone who you know lives alone and is lonely?
The only way true joy is constant and will stay with you is when you forget about yourself and serve those around you!
Joy is like love, they go together. I believe that Joy is in the
same realm as love, it’s almost like those two words are the
same, and they’re synonymous with each other.
Joy almost makes you feel all squishy inside.
With Joy, it’s easier to overcome the really hard things in your
life, and it can help you to feel like you can make it through the trials or stress in your life.
Joy has a way of making you want to do good in your life.
When you experience Joy, it literally changes you.
You have worth and value.
My holiday wish for you is to have Joy, and when you do have
joy, share it with people.
Talk to people about this episode and share it with them.
Happy Holidays!

I wanted to make Holiday Wish episodes for you.
LOVE is the holiday wish I want to share with you and I know
that for some people and families, the holidays are not always filled with love.
Many families argue or fight and there can be a lot of tension
for many reasons.
And it may not be anything that you have said or done to cause any stress or contention, sometimes it is the other people in
your home.
So, what is it that you can do?
Remember, that we all love differently and we all understand
love differently. You have to understand how you love, and
what love means
to you.
I’m not a love expert, but I do know that we are all unique and different and come from a wide variety of upbringings where
some people weren’t shown any love growing up, or the love
they received was conditional.
Do you have love in your heart?
Remember to come from a place of love this Holiday Season.

Uh…it’s so hard to become a better version of yourself, don’t you think?!
I mean, don’t you have to let go of things that aren’t working for you, but you still hold onto it like it’s your life vest?
The word change is one of those words that put people in a state of resistance. Let’s get real!
Change is hard, so why not look at it from a different perspective!
How about looking at it as becoming a better version of yourself instead.
Think about what you need to do to become a better version of yourself. Think about it. We are thinkers, we think about a lot of things, so think about what you can become.
Because you have worth and value!

Do you feel the pressure of time?
Towards the end of the year, I feel the pressure of time, and time
is one of those things that you have no control over, but the
feeling is still there and you want to control the time.
I find myself saying a lot is that I want time to slow down or stop for a few hours.
There are many people who teach time management and one of them when he was still living was Hyrum Smith and Steven Covey of Franklin Covey. Unfortunately, those 2 wonderful men have passed on and are no longer here, but what they taught was so good.
And if you didn’t realize that time management is all about managing yourself in the amount of time you have when you’re doing something or managing yourself within every 24 hours
you have in a day.
Now with the holidays upon us, many people have already
started the shopping and the decorating and all of the things
that go along with the Holidays which adds more pressure.
Why do we do that to ourselves? Why do we add on more than
we already have?
Enjoy the holidays’s the way it was intended ➡️ to be with family and friends and to be grateful and thankful for all that we have.

Buying More, More, More?
In episode #178, I talked about wanting more, more, more because you think that’s going to get you what you want, and if that’s really what you want?
I want to continue talking about this more, more, more thing that can and maybe is happening, because it’s not bad to want and
buy more for yourself, but what happens when it gets out of control.
You might not even realize that it’s happening until someone points it out, and it can be hard to look at it because no one
wants to see the things that aren’t working or aren’t healthy.
Take a good look at what you’ve been buying and see what’s behind all the buying, shopping, spending. It’s also known as emotional shopping!
There’s that high that you get when you shop and it feels so
good and it numbs the pain or frustration or any other emotion that you’re struggling with.
Are you buying more than you need or have money for? Are you buying more things that only make you happy for a day or a week?
I have my own story of constantly BUYING fabric and sewing supplies and sewing machines.
Think about what really matters because It’s time to live a more fulfilled life and there’s no time to waste.
I’ve come to know what really matters and what’s just a waste of time. Time is one of those things that you can’t get back!

Are you wanting more, more, more because you think that’s
going to get you what you want. Is that really what you want?
To be doing more?
Or are you just running from how you really feel about yourself?
It’s not bad to want more for yourself and your life, but what happens when it gets out of control and you aren’t reaching the ‘more’ you’ve been working so much and so hard for?
Take a good look at what you’ve been doing and see what’s
behind all the doing.
Are you doing more than you have energy for?
I share my story of constantly, volunteering and volunteering
even more because other people(parents) weren't volunteering.
When you come to know who you are at the very core of your being, and who God created you to be, then you will be unstoppable.
I know this because for about half of my adult life I have been on
a journey to find out who God created me to be and what he
wants me to do while I’m here on earth.
And now I don’t have a desire to want to do more and more to
the point of exhaustion.
I’ve come to know what really matters and what’s just a waste
of time. Time is one of those things that you can’t get back!

Your past is in the past and you can’t change it even though you wish you could.
You were operating according to your feelings and needs at the time.
I want to use the example of driving, you have to look ahead and pay attention so that you can stay in your lane, but when you only look in the rearview mirror, you’re going to crash.
You have to be aware and be careful not to let the past suck the life out of you.
All the experiences you’ve ever had in the past are for your learning and to gain the knowledge and understanding you need about yourself and about life.
That’s how you learn and grow and become a better person.
Think about what you learned from those things in the past you wished you could change.
Did you learn how much emotional strength you had?
Did you learn what you like and what you don’t like?
Did you learn what you’re capable of in hard situations?
Did it help you to realize that you’ll never do ‘that’ again?
Did it help you to see your capacity to love and to learn how to
love yourself?
Ask yourself all those kinds of questions and look for any and all
of the positive things that came out of your past.
If you can’t get past your past mistakes, then it will be very
difficult to move forward and focus on the future and create
the kind of life you want to have now.
Your creative assignment: focus on the future

Welcome to the Called To Create Podcast where I talk about creating, being creative, personal development, business, and more.
You’ve heard that question before about taking a bird’s eye view.
What would you see? Would you see yourself living a life that
you like or love? Would you see yourself making a contribution
to the people or causes that are super important to you?
It’s important to take a step back and look at your life as often as can. Schedule it in!
I take a look at my life all the time and then I like to talk about it
on this podcast.
The most effective teaching comes from experience. If I didn’t
do or don’t do the things that I talk about and teach on then there’s a disconnect with those that are listening. And you wouldn’t believe anything I say.
So, why is important to take a bird’s eye view?
Because it’s common to fall into the day-to-day routine and grind and whatever other words you want to use to describe your life.
It might even scare you when you take a look.
And that’s ok…that’s the beauty of life, you can change. You can decide what you want your life to be like.
When I take a bird’s eye view of my life, a certain time of the day,
I see myself going back and forth from my office to the kitchen to look for chocolate or something to snack on when I’m frustrated with whatever I’m working on.
But in other parts of my life I would see that I’m doing ok or even pretty good, but definitely not perfect.
I know what areas I need to make changes to and where I need to change my thinking.
It is a lifelong journey to get where you want to go and be where you want to be, it doesn’t happen in a month or a year because if you have a spouse or children or family, you can’t force them to do what you want.
This is your creative assignment:
From your bird’s eye view, identify at least 1 thing that you see
and know needs to change.
Write it down! Get out your fancy notebook and write down what you see and make a decision that you are going to do what you can and need to do to make that change.
Improve your bird’s eye view one step at a time.

Are you only looking at what’s wrong and not the wins?
Are you even aware that you could be doing that?
Reflect on your life and what you do on a regular basis.
If you take the time to look at your wins, you’ll come to find out that you’ve had more wins than you’ve had wrong.
You have to write it all down, reflect on all the good that you’ve done in your life. If you’ve done wrong or made bad choices,
you’ll be able to see that you have had more wins.
You will find what you’re looking for and I talked about this in episode #100. If you look for the bad, you’ll find it. If you look
for the good, you’ll find it.
Get a fancy notebook and write it all out, reflect on your life. If you’d like, you can make 2 columns with one column you can
list all your wins, and the other column you can write down all
the things that you think you’ve done wrong.
If you’re not sure about your wins, then ask someone like a best friend.
When you take the time to focus on your wins, it becomes easier to feel confident about yourself and to know that you can overcome all the things you struggle with, even if it takes time.
Remember you have worth and value.

In today’s episode, I want to talk about finding your rhythm because this idea popped into my mind one day.
A good example of rhythm is when you think about music is an arrangement of musical sounds, when you listen to music there’s
a rhythm to it it's a repeated pattern and when you can get into a rhythm like beautiful music it just flows and it feels good but, that also means that you have to know yourself in order to create this rhythm.
It can be harder to get into a rhythm when you’re doing things
that are hard or you don’t completely know or understand.
There’s a pattern to everything are there things you have to do before you do something in order to get into that rhythm.
Think about a time when you knew how to get into that rhythm, what did you have to do?
It’s that flow that you want to have, and when you get into that rhythmic flow nothing can stop you now!
Have you ever experienced that and you didn’t want it to stop?
Music is like that, especially when it’s a beautiful song and you
get familiar with the rhythm of the music and you don’t it to end.
Have you ever played that song over and over because you liked
it so much?
There’s a rhythm and pattern to everything in life.
Where there’s a flow to the things you do, then things in your life don’t feel so stressful or seem like it’s a struggle.

Restless nights? Could it be that you aren’t feeling fulfilled?
The basic definition of fulfillment is happiness and satisfaction.
I wanted to talk about feeling fulfilled because I have a deep
desire to feel fulfilled and I want you to have that too.
In episode #99, I talk about how easy it is to suppress any
feelings that you have. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to
that episode, then go listen to it after you listen to this episode.
Fulfillment is different for everyone, not to mention the fact that
we come from different places in the world and different cultures.
The need for fulfillment means that you have a stirring inside and that stirring comes from God because you have a mission to fulfill here on earth.
The kind of fulfillment you need and want will change over time
as you grow and learn and experience different things in your life.
Do this for yourself today! Because you have worth and value.

Overwhelmed?! It can and will lead to procrastination.
There are at least 100 ways to deal with overwhelm that I’ve
heard of, but, I’m only going to talk about one.
Write it out.
I want you to answer this question on paper.
Why am I overwhelmed?
It will reveal itself.
Here’s are some examples of what’s possibly going on:
I have to do things I don’t want to do.
It’s boring.
It takes too long.
I don’t like doing (_that thing_).
I’m tired.
I would rather have someone else do it instead.
It’s a waste of time right now.
It’s not creative.
I don’t feel like it.
Ultimately, you know what needs to get done first and what’s the most important, and you’re not incapable of figuring out what’s most important or urgent.
There are always going to be days when it’s hard to do the hard things.
Keep writing it out.
Your creative assignment is to get a colorful pen and write out
on paper why you’re overwhelmed.
⬇️
I can help you deal with overwhelm and limiting beliefs, staying aligned with your values and purpose so you don’t get distracted by all the SHINY OBJECTS.
If you’re a creative person who’s interested in learning how to
make your creative passion into a business I will help with clarity,
I will hold your hand and walk with you from start to finish, and
just like I used to sew elaborate outfits I will help you put all the different pieces together until you have a beautiful creation.

I’m going to be your accountability coach. Email me at

In episode #170, I talked about creativity is a gift and something that you have to do and that you’re creative because you were given the gift of creativity by God.
It’s deeper than art, and that it’s a creation of bringing something into existence. Everything in existence is a creation
If you can recognize that creativity is your superpower then it would be incredible what you could create.
We create because we love beauty and it brings us joy.
Go back and listen to episode #170 if you haven’t listened to it.
This is perfect timing because Walt Disney World just had a 50-year celebration that was a special on TV.
Everything they do is a creation and they work tirelessly to
create an experience for people.
Think about it. If we couldn’t create and use our gift of
creativity, then what else is there to do in this world?
We would be wandering around this earth aimlessly!
There’s a reason and a purpose for creativity to exist
and it has the ability to take you beyond what you know is possible. Have you ever amazed yourself after you finished making something?
It was probably because you were open to possibilities.
Ideas will always come into your mind and it’s up to you to be
open to them or not.
It is your superpower!

Guess what? Creativity is your superpower!
Have you ever heard anyone ever say that before?
You will have people say ‘I’m not creative!’ but that's just not true.
Definition of creativity: the use of the imagination or the creation
of original ideas.
It’s deeper than creativity in art, it’s a creation-it’s bringing something into existence.
Which by the way includes creating your thoughts, creating your feelings, creating your reality.
Anytime you create something it’s going to happen by using materials that already exist, and either transforming it into something else or combining it with something.
There’s a thing called creative problem solving and using your creative superpower will help you in ways that will amaze you.

REJECTION! Never Take It Personally!
I know that’s easier said than done and, it can be super painful
and debilitating! I know because I’ve had experiences in my life, especially as a teenager (if you know what I mean!)
But also in my business too. Early on when I used to make things and try to sell them at Craft Fairs and not very many people were buying the things that I made was really, really hard.
That felt like the ultimate rejection I could have ever experienced
in my business.
In life and in your business you’re going to have people reject you and/or your ideas, or, criticize you and, criticizing is also a form of rejection because they’re being negative about what you say, do, and make.
But I want to tell you that to remember that
It’s never about you when you’re criticized or rejected, it’s always about them-the other person.
When you are successful you will have people criticize you and
then reject you because they usually aren’t successful themselves and have a deep sense of lack they feel within.
You have two choices:
You can take the route that will lead you to ignore the critics and let it motivate you to prove that what you’re doing is worth it, or, you can take the route that will lead you to get upset and drop out of life or your business.
Which are you going to choose?
You are different! Creative people like you are different! And being different comes with its own rewards like having success in your business, having a more fulfilling life, and more.
What can you do to motivate yourself when you’ve been rejected?
Here are the things that you can do:
Remember that you were created by God, remember your WHY, remember your creative gifts, and remember that with your gifts-you can make a difference in your family, your community, or the world.
If you want success in whatever you’re doing you have to ignore
the critics and remember that being rejected doesn’t define who you are and it doesn’t devalue your worth.
REMEMBER! Never take rejection personally!

You’re going to have to do things you’ve never done before when you have your own business and there’s no way around it and I’m here to help you on your journey!
I really love how humanity works where we all help each other. If everyone did the same thing in their business or their jobs, then life and, this world would be so much better.
That’s one of the reasons why I have this podcast, it’s so that I can help you by teaching what I know and sharing the things that I think could help you in your life and in your business…all for FREE!
Of course, I would love for you to work with me so that I can help you get your business started and help you understand how to stitch all the pieces of a business together. But, it’s OK if you’re
not interested in working with me or you’re not ready.
I still want to teach and share as much as possible with you.
I love teaching because I learn a lot while I’m teaching. I love how that works!
Think about when you were a kid and you fell down and skinned both of your knees. 😩
What did you do? (Now just as a side note, I don’t have a high tolerance for physical pain, so I’m pretty sure I cried a lot.)
What about you? Did you cry a lot and then after the pain subsided, did you get back up and start playing again? Or did you sit there and give up on having fun?
I was talking to a friend recently about her business and she said that sometimes she feels like she’s hanging on by a thread.
That’s why it’s so important to have a friend, or a coach, or someone who has a business too that you can work with or talk to when you feel like you’re hanging on by a thread.
Everything in life that’s good is worth learning and just like business, it’s always going to be a learning process and journey. Not everything is going to be smooth sailing or easy and that’s good because when you have to work hard at something, you appreciate it way, way more.
Here are some of the things you can do to help you when you’re struggling:
-
Find someone that you can talk to on a weekly basis that will
be supportive if you’re not ready to hire a coach yet. -
Say a prayer if you believe in God.
-
Journaling-it’s such a powerful tool, it helps you get out all the things that are going on in your mind.
-
Take a class or course in that area that you’re trying to learn and understand.
-
You have to go back to why you’re doing this or why you want to start a business, then it makes things so much more difficult. Don’t give up when things get hard. Go back to your WHY. What is so important to you!
REMEMBER-pick yourself up when you fall or feel like you’ve failed because you have worth and value and what you do matters! You can do this.

Have you been wondering or even losing sleep over how much
it’s going to cost you to start your business?! It can seem overwhelming just thinking about that because money is one of those things that can stress people out.
And, because of that reason, I have a number of things to share
with you about start-up costs and some examples that can give
you an idea of how much money you would need.
But let me start by saying that there is no one way that’s perfect
or the right way to start because it will always depend on what
kind of business you want to start and how much time you
actually have to work on your business.
And also the structure of your business will depend on if you
want to sell a physical product that you make yourself, or if you want to sell a digital product, or if you want to teach a skill that you’re good at.
There are so many things that go into starting and running a business.
➡️ The first example is if you want to start without having to spend any money for various reasons, you can look at what resources you already have - like your computer and cell phone.
➡️ The second example is if you have only $100 to spend, you can
buy a $20 Lavalier microphone to record your videos or audio.
➡️ The third example is if you are willing to spend $500 or more so that you can buy a better microphone or, pay for services that will allow you to have another person help you create designs in Canva
are some things that you could spend your money on.
I don’t advise you to spend a lot of money at first because you never really know if all the money you’re spending is going to be worth it or if you’re going to continue with your business.
Think about it, maybe you start your business, and a few months into you decide that entrepreneurship is not for you or, that you want to change the structure of your business completely, there can be an unlimited number of reasons.

There are dozens of things that you need to know before you
start your business and I want to talk about the first three most important things that I think are at the top of the list of what
you need to know.
Let’s talk about it!
Now, have you ever had your mother say to you ➡️
“I told you but, you didn’t listen” or, “I told you but, you didn’t believe me”? My mom has said that to me and I’ve said that
to my kids.
So, maybe you would believe me when I tell you these things or maybe you won’t until you experience it for yourself.
It depends on where you are mentally, spiritually, emotionally.
These are the top 3 things:
- A big time commitment
You have to know and accept the fact that starting and running
your own business is going to take a lot of your time at first, especially when you’re learning about all the things you need to
do even the things that aren’t fun-because believe me, there are
a lot of things that aren’t fun or that you may not enjoy doing in
your business. But in any business it’s like that, there will always
be things that you have to do.
- Your mindset
You have to always be working on your mindset and, what
that means is that you have to always be aware of what you’re
thinking about yourself what you believe about yourself and
your abilities.
- You have to talk about money
You may not have a big issue with talking about your money or dealing with it but, if you don’t talk about it you will lose sleep
and it will stress you out.
The more you talk about hard things the easier it gets.
When you talk about these things it increases the chance of success that you can have in your business. It’s also a real confidence booster. 😉
Send me a DM to set up a strategy session so that I can help
you get your business started.

When you’re first starting out what should your priority be?
What’s the most important thing you need to do?
Your first priority is:
To “Define your message!” What are you going to talk about, what is your thing?
We touch the lives of so many people from across the world and not just in our community now because of the internet so, the
more you get clear on what your topic is the easier it will be to
get your business going and for you to get known for your topic.
For example: if you were really good at organizing, you could teach organizing and maybe you could teach someone how to organize their home or their kitchen?
You would want to teach something that you’ve mastered and you love talking about it.
So think about how you would go about talking about it - you could have steps like: step 1, step 2 & step 3, or the top 3 things they could do.
Do they need any supplies? If they do, then what are those supplies?
Is there a schedule that they could use that would make it quicker or easier?
What would you say to someone for them to have some small
wins as they start out?
Get really clear on what you would want to teach or help people with.

I want to talk about the Olympics because these amazing athletes have developed amazing discipline and that’s how business is.
But things take time, sometimes it takes many many years to get rolling moving.
These athletes are a great example of what it takes to succeed.
As they are interviewed on T.V. they share what it took for them to get where they are despite all of their struggles, injuries, and more.
The Olympics is a good reminder of what we can accomplish when
we put our heart and soul into something.
Business can be hard but the more you put into your business,
the more you’ll get out of it.
What is it that you can do and focus on that may be frustrating
for you at this moment?

Share What You Believe In!
It may feel scary at first but the more you do the easier it gets.
There will always be people who believe in the things you believe
in.
Having your own business provides a platform to share the things that you believe in which then creates a connection with your audience.
They (your potential client or customer) can get to know you and start to like you and then will eventually trust you and buy from
you.
You can do it! You have worth and value!

I wanted to talk about being prepared and not being prepared
and babysitting because I’ve been doing a lot of babysitting.
And I wasn’t prepared ahead of time.
Let me ask you: what are those things in your life that come up
that you want to do or have to do and you realize that there’s no time left in the day even though we have 24 hours in a day?
I want to ask you: what are those unexpected things that keep popping up that you have to be prepared for?
Prepare ahead of time what you’re going to do, even if you have
to write it out.
Prepare yourself because life is moving so fast.
Who knows you might have to babysit one day! 😉

Is it worth it to hire a coach? Are you not sure if you should or
want to hire one?
It’s so important to do your research before paying a coach because back in episode #160 I talked about not doing my
research before hiring a coach and what happened.
There are so many wonderful coaches out there that can help
you in any area of your life because you can’t see where you
need help or what your weaknesses are.

I can’t say it enough that you must, must, must do more research before you hire a coach.
Each coach will have a lot of knowledge in certain things or areas and that’s what you want when you’re paying someone to help
you.
You don’t want to hire a coach and pay a lot of money if you
haven’t seen, heard, or read about what they can do to help you.
My experience with hiring a coach that was not the right fit.
She should have told me and stopped our coaching sessions
and refunded my money.
Please make sure to do your research so that you don’t waste
your valuable time and hard-earned money.

Do you feel like you are your biggest obstacle most of the time and do you think thoughts like - “Why would this work for me?” and/or
“I don’t think I can do that!”
Then, I think it’s time to dig deep and find out what is really going on in your heart and your mind.

Is all the practical stuff killing your creativity!
I use the example of if you are a painter, and how somebody had
to do all the boring stuff and design and paintbrush and make
that paintbrush.
Someone had to design and make the canvas for you to paint on.
If you look at it from a different perspective, you would be able to see that they were creating too when they were making the brush and canvas.
Behind every good thing, there has to be the practical stuff.
It gets easier the more you do all of that (what seems like)
boring and practical stuff.
But you don’t want to do all the practical and technical stuff in
one day, that would just suck the life out of you.
➡️ Your creative assignment is to do something creative after
you’ve don’t the practical or technical stuff!

Try a new word for this month.
In episode #154 I talked about having a word for the year has
been really popular for so many people, and that I’ve never really felt strongly about having a word for the year.
But a couple of years ago I tried having a word for the year, but I forgot all about that word because I get distracted easily!
But what about having a word for the month?
I started using a word for the month last month and it’s been helping me and I didn’t think it would.
I also gave a creative assignment which was…to find a word for
the month that you feel you need to work on.
Because I have the bright shiny object thing going on it’s been helping me to stay on track a lot more.
I invite you to try out this word of the month technique and see
how it will help you and what it will do for your life.
I’m committed to trying this word of the month technique until
the end of the year, December.
Your creative assignment is to find a new word for this month
and see what it will do for you.
And send me a DM on Instagram @janinjohnston so I can cheer
you on!

I want to talk about post-it notes, post-it notes are your friends.
And I know it seems kind of funny, but you know, I love post-it notes. And I love all the pretty colors and all the different sizes.
And now you can get post-it notes in all kinds of shapes and, designs.
But I also wanted to talk about overwhelm. And I wanted to ask
you if you're feeling overwhelmed, now you could be overwhelmed in your life or in your business, or even the thought of starting a business can be overwhelming. And so I wanted to combine the
two overwhelm and post-it notes. I think that's a really cool combination.

Put a stake in the ground today and start your business!
I want to use the example of when someone sells their home, the real estate agent puts the ‘FOR SALE’ sign that’s attached to a
large size poll that is shaped like a stake- it’s pointed at the end, and it’s pounded into the ground.
Email or text your family, friends, co-worker, former co-workers,
and anyone you know that you have their email addresses or cell numbers, and let them know what you’ve decided to do.
You want to let people know that what you’re doing so that they
can refer your product or service to people who they think might
be interested.
Just like the FOR SALE sign outside of the home, it’s letting people know that that house is ready to be shown to interested buyers.
If the homeowner changes their mind, then they can take it off the market. It’s the same for you, if you change your mind you don’t have to continue.
So, do this today! Share your gifts and talents with the world and start your business today!

What are you going to do with the rest of your life once your last child has graduated from high school or is ready to graduate?
Are you finally going to think about your hopes and dreams? Are you interested in starting your own business?
It’s not selfish to put yourself first. In fact, I’ve had many, many women tell me about how they got so sick and some got diseases and had breast cancer because they were putting everyone else first, and, neglected to take care of themselves.
What is going to get you excited to wake up in the morning? Think about how you want to live the rest of your life. It’s important because you are important and you MATTER! 😁

Did you know that what you do depends on how you feel about what you know!
Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do or why
you don’t do certain things? I certainly have. It’s been something that I’ve been thinking about for a long, long time.
Many years ago I heard someone say that ‘What You Do, Depends On How You Feel, About What You Know’, and for some reason, I don’t remember who it was or why it was said, but I thought that was so true! I’m just like that! What a great revelation it was for
me!
I don't know about you but doing things or not doing things has been a problem for me all my adult life when I haven't felt like
doing things I don’t feel like and why I haven’t accomplished the things that I wanted or thought I would. Including goals!
Isn’t it interesting that we can be forced to do things that need to
be done if there’s a negative consequence involved? And I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve had many negative consequences happen even when I knew that if I did or didn’t do that thing, something negative was going to happen.
But I choose to make better choices now because I don’t want to experience any more negative consequences also know as pain-mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and sometimes physically!
This all goes back to what we do on a regular basis usually happens because we’ve created habits based on how we FEEL about certain things.
Sometimes we just can’t help but run our lives with our emotions at the controls. Doesn’t that sound scary!
Knowing something is one thing, but, if we let our emotions take over without thinking about what we know first … well, that could lead to doing crazy things that might cause frustration later on.
Take charge of your emotions! Don’t let them loose at any old time.
Think about how it’s going to affect you before it happens.

Do you know what those 3 ways are?
The first example I've seen is someone who is kind to themself
and is kind to others.
The second example is someone who is not kind to themself but
is kind to others.
And the third example is someone who is not kind to themself
and is not kind to others. I know that this is not an example of kindness being expressed, but it does show what happens
when kindness is missing from someone's life.
Choose today to be kind to yourself and to others. We need
more kindness in this world!

There’s a big scary word out there in business land! Do you know what that word is? That word is ➡️ MARKETING!
You might have had a wave of heat wash over you when you heard that word! And maybe even had your stomach do a summersault,
or even worse-your heart started beating really fast! Either way, the word marketing can be scary if you’ve never had any experience or have tried to do any marketing for yourself or your new or existing business.
I am by no means a marketing expert, I’m just sharing what I’ve done and what has worked really well and I turn to God for guidance too, because God comes first in my life and in my business, and not to mention that He has shown me things I would have never thought of myself.
So make sure you turn to God for guidance in everything that you do, you’ll be so happy that you did. I can say that with certainty.
The things I’ll talk about are really simple ways to get started
doing your marketing-and the type of marketing I want to talk
about is called referral marketing, or word of mouth marketing.
And this is where you start by telling the people you know about your business like what service you have or what product or products you are selling, and who you and if it’s specifically for a men or women, etc.
The more specific you get the better.
The best kind of marketing for these reasons:
-
it doesn’t cost you any money, especially if you are starting out
in your business and you don’t have a lot of money to spend on marketing, or if you don’t have any money at all. -
you don’t have to spend hours and hours a day because you’re creating that ripple effect
-
people are more likely to trust you if they were referred to you
by someone they know. And please be a person that someone
can trust when doing business with you. -
you can get testimonials from these referrals after they do business with you.
I’ve never had to pay for any kind of ads for my business, but you never know one day I might.
If you’re afraid to call or verbally tell someone, then send them a text message, an email, or maybe even something in the mail! There’s not a lot of people sending cute little announcements in
the mail these days
Years ago I had to help the sewing store that I worked for put together the ad for the newspaper and it’s not any different
now.
It’s a lot of work because you have to figure out who you want to market to, what are the words to use in the ad that will get people’s attention and make them want to read the ad, then you have to decide what image to use and the colors the Ad.

What is expansive thinking?
I use the analogy of blowing up a balloon.
The balloon expands with each breath of air that you blow into it.
It's really hard at first but then it gets easier the more you keep blowing.
If you're not someone that thinks big about everything in your
life, then try using the expansive thinking method.
A little at a time makes all the difference.

Have you always secretly wondered if your talents and passions could bring in money for you and your family? and you’ve never
told anyone because you’re worried about what they’ll think or say or that maybe you don’t know if you have what it takes?
And you’re working at a job and you’ve never really had your own business and you don’t think or consider yourself an entrepreneur or a business owner because you’ve always worked for somebody else.
Maybe you don’t know if you have what it takes to make money
off of your creative passion.
It does take time, commitment, patience but most of all it takes
the love you have for what you create and the desire to want to share it with people.
I want to talk about those things.
Having a job and your own business have a lot of things in
common: when you first get hired at your job you have to learn
the job, you didn’t just show up to work and know what and how you were supposed to do that job, just because you have a
college degree or similar work experience
->use your skills and you might have to learn new skills or how
to do something that you’re not familiar with
->time commitment
->energy commitment
->focus
->patience
->the ability to think
->money-you’ll be spending and making money
So if you’ve been secretly wondering If Your Talents And Passions Could Bring In Money For You And Your Family, and you want to
talk to me about it, then I want you to send me a DM on Instagram @janinjohnston or send me an email at aloha@janinjohnston.com
so we can schedule a time to talk.

You have a choice on what you want to do every day.
You do make choices every minute of the day, and I wanted to
talk about what would you like to do versus what you have to do.
Think about the different areas of your life: fun for you, for you
and your family, work, your job-what you’d like to do in your job, would you like to create a business?
You have agency - a.k.a. - free will.
What would like to do from here on out?
There’s always going to be things that you have to do, but
there’s the opportunity to live fully, even when you have
trials.
I want to help you wake every day and have something to get excited about.
Have you ever said to yourself or someone, “I would like to ________”?
Out of all the choices that you have to make in your life, why not choose the things that you’d like to do that are fun and would light you up.

The words “start a business” can be very scary to some people.
Having a business has also been called- a side hustle, side job
and things like that.
So many creative people are used to giving away the things
that they make and I used to be like that for many years, and
would have never thought to start selling their craft.
And I want to ask you a question: have you ever thought “hm, maybe I could sell my craft”.
I believe that God has given everyone the ability to create and
that we are all meant to create.
And, there are people who would love to buy what you make, I
know I have bought other people’s craft. I’ve bought a lot of
glass because I don’t know how to make and work with glass.
It’s so gratifying to know that someone has your artwork or craft
in their home.

March is women’s history month in the United States, and I wanted to talk about the women in your life that have made a difference
and helped you become who you are today.
I wanted to talk about the women in our own lives because they aren’t always recognized
think about your mother or that other woman in your life that
helped you. What is that she said or what kind of guidance did she give you?
We want to celebrate what good things that have come about.

We eat snacks because we’re wanting and looking for a certain feeling.
No one really wants to feel frustrated.
We try to find something that makes us feel better and take
away the frustration that we’re feeling in our bodies and could
even make us want to scream!
Sugar and chips taste so good in our mouth and then we want more, but, snacking is just a temporary relief. That relief will
only last 5 or 10 minutes, and I’m talking from experience.
These are some of the things that you can do to relieve your frustration instead of snacking:
- Journal-start writing things out.
- Do something creative-it will help you deal with things
in a better way. - Close your eyes and do that deep belly breathing.
- Exercise-if you have a bicycle, ride around your
neighborhood.
Figure out what works for you, maybe you have other ideas of things you could do when you have that urge to snack!

Today I'm covering the 4th step on this journey of daring to dream, and I would love it if you got clear on your 'WHY' for fulfilling
your dream that you have.
Ask yourself a lot of 'what' questions like:
What gets me excited about fulfilling this dream?
What is important about this dream?
What feeling are you wanting to have?
What will this do for your life?
And a 'who' question:
Who am I going to become?

What if questions are very important for you to ask yourself
in your life and your business.
Seriously think about WHAT IF questions.
Start writing WHAT IF questions like:
What if my business were successful?
What if my life is/was successful?
Take the time every day to ask yourself these questions.
You never know where those questions could take you.
Let your mind go and let anything that comes to your mind and
let it flow.
Start making it a practice. You don’t know what’s possible if
you don’t ask.
Ask, ask, and ask!
Be persistent like when you were a kid. You might be able to
see what you were interested in at such a young age.
It could lead you to some really good ideas in your business
and your life.

There’s beauty in your creations and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Every time you create something, you always try to make it
beautiful even if you don’t realize it.
Just like when you decorate your home, you find beautiful
pictures or artwork to put on your walls, and you choose the
color of paint you love to put on your walls.
When you go out in nature, there’s something beautiful to look
at that God created.
There’s beauty everywhere and it makes you feel good.
Share your creation with people. Share the beauty of your
creation with someone.
Share it with your neighbor. It will make them smile.

Creativity is one of those things that when you create
something it is original.
Use your gifts that you were given by God and it’s given
to you to bless you and the lives of other people.
Everything you see on this planet is original - it went through
the creation process.
The two flowers that I have in my hair are not alike even though
they came from the same tree. The petals are a slightly different color and size.
Identical twins are not alike. They are similar but are different
in size and how they sound, and so on.
There are no two things or people on this earth and that’s what’s
so fulfilling when you can create something original.
You and I create every day of our lives.
You were born to create! Everything you do is a creation.
We are creators, you're a creator.
Just remember that you original, you have a purpose here on
earth and you’re special.

It’s important to care about using your creative gifts.
When you get into that space and just be open, that’s where
the magic happens and things come about. That’s where life
gets exciting!
There’s a beautiful flow of energy that happens when you’re creating, your mind expands and it’s open and you get into that flow.
I want to challenge you today to do something creative every
day.
This is about you feeling fulfilled and opening up to what’s
possible for you.

to do with saving money.

and it's probably not what you're thinking.

want you to put into your investment portfolio. It has to do
with 30 minutes a week.

Money and finances week!
In episode #129, I talked about your Investment Portfolio which
is about you investing in yourself, and it includes these two things:
-
Exercise/taking care of yourself.
-
Writing down on paper all of your money that comes in and
goes out every month.
And, I have a 3rd investment that I want you to make, and it’s to take time every week, at least 30 minutes to work on your finances.

Money and finances week!
Do You Have An Investment Portfolio? Do You Want To Know
What It Is?!
Investing in yourself is the kind of investment portfolio I'm
sharing in this episode.
That's one of the best things that you can do for yourself, and,
it's not selfish.
Think about what happens when you fly on an airplane - the
first thing the flight attendants instruct everyone is for the adult
to put on their oxygen mask first, and then, take care of your family/children.
This is the same thing that you need to do for yourself!
Put your health first so that you can take care of your loved ones. That's the best investment you could ever make.
Everyone needs to have an 'investment portfolio' and in it, one
of the first things you're going to put in it is your health/exercise
and the second you're going to put is logging your finances:
money coming in and money going out.

to make your creative passion into a business I will help with

Money and finances week!
In this episode, I’m sharing the top 4 things about money that stresses women out the most! These are things that many
women have shared with me after interviewing dozens of women over a 2-year period.
We need money to live here on earth. There’s just no way around it. And because we need money to live, we need to manage it and talk about it without getting stressed or upset.

make your creative passion into a business I will help with clarity,
I will hold your hand and walk with you from start to finish, and
just like I used to sew elaborate outfits I will help you put all the different pieces together until you have a beautiful creation.

I want to talk about personal development.
How’s your personal development going?
It’s not a pretty topic and not everyone wants to talk about it, but with all the crazy negativity happening in the world right now.
Personal development is such a broad topic and there are so many areas to talk about like:
How are you doing mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and socially-family and friends?
It’s a lifelong journey, it’s not going to happen in one day or in just one year, it’s something that you’ll have to do every day.
Think about an area of your life where you’re struggling. Are you having a hard time emotionally? Write down all the emotions that you’re feeling right now in a notebook.
Thank you for letting me share and teach you all the things I know.
It’s always great to have people to help us in our journey.
When you work on your self-development, the small wins make
you feel so good about yourself.
In order to do something better, you have to become better.
You have worth and value, so take the time and work on your self-development today.
If you’re a creative person who’s interested in learning how to
make your creative passion into a business I will help with clarity,
I will hold your hand and walk with you from start to finish, and
just like I used to sew elaborate outfits I will help you put all the different pieces together until you have a beautiful creation.

Let me ask you a set of questions.
What do you say yes to when it comes to your personal life?
Do you even say yes to yourself? Ever?
Do you say yes to things that will help you learn and grow?
Do you say yes to in the line of opportunities that might scare
you?
You have to be able to say yes to yourself.
Are you say yes to something new?
Everyone has a dream in their heart, and nothing new will come
into your life until you say “Yes”

Will you say “No” to putting yourself last? This is for people pleasers.
Mom’s tend to put their children first and then put themselves
last.
Will you say “No” to making everyone else happy?
Because it’s really impossible to make anyone happy. They have
to decide for themself to be happy, they have to choose it.
Will you say “No” to negative thoughts?
Be aware of those negative thoughts that come into your mind, because it can suck the life out of you if you aren’t aware that
it’s happening.
What method can you use to catch that thought?
You can test out the method I use to catch negative thoughts
and switch it out. Watch and find out what I do.

Today”s episode is about being paralyzed by fear
but before I do I wanted to ask you if you’ve ever considered meeting with me for a coaching session? I just want to let you know that I do business coaching to help you get your creative business started.
We’ll work together to outline all the steps to get your business up and running quickly-especially with the tech part. I love tech so I can definitely help you with that if that freaks you out just thinking about it.
And I’m here to serve you and help you if you're standing in your own way and if you feel like you're just not sure what to do then email me at ALOHA@JANINJOHNSTON.COM to get my coaching menu and book a coaching session with me.
Being paralyzed by fear always seems to feel real especially because it comes in all shapes and sizes and can appear/mask
itself as something else too. For example, it could appear as being not ready because I don’t know enough or I have to wait until my life is not so busy, or, if you want to sell something that you made
then you might have said that I have to perfect my project first
Are you spending too much time worrying about what others will think of you that you’re missing out on your opportunity to bring value to other people with your creative gift and gifts?
Remember that you were given gifts from God to share and to
bless your life and the lives of other people. And by nature
women are generous and love to give their time.
There’s an indescribable feeling of feeling fulfilled when you
share your gifts.
Don’t let fear paralyze you and steal your joy!
And please share this podcast with anyone who you know would get great value out of listening to it, especially if they are thinking about starting their own business.
And please rate and review this podcast, thank you so much.

Find out who you are now if you’re not sure.
What do you believe in and what do you want in your life? What
you stand for, what your likes and dislikes are. Write down everything you can think of about yourself, in every aspect of
your life.
Your life and business will become so much sweeter when you know!

Did you ever wonder if you can make a positive impact in
your life or in your community?
I know that you have a creative gift, and it's meant to be shared. And, you can't just keep your creative gifts to yourself.
If you don't bring out your creativity and express it, a part of you will start to feel like you're dying or you're just very dissatisfied or you're not happy. It's like that creativity is knocking "let me out".
I don't know if you've ever had those feelings when you haven't had the opportunity to use your creativity and your gifts when you know what they are.
I don't know if you have fear, or what it is but I want to tell you to use your creative gifts.
And I want to be here to help you along your journey.
There's no one way or right way to make a positive impact.
I want you to be able to make a positive impact in your life using your gifts. Your gifts are meant to be used and shared.
You'll never know what kind of impact you will have in someone
else's life.
And I want to ask you if you’ve ever considered meeting with me for a coaching session?
I’m here to serve you and help you if you're standing in your own way
Let's work together! I'm here to help you with personal coaching-we'll dive deep into your challenges, struggles, and goals.

Sit back with your notebook and enjoy this interview I did with Dana Irvine of Divine Wellness.
She said women need to be legacy makers!
I wanted Dana to come on my podcast because I want my
female listeners to be aware of and understand how to take
care of themselves because we live in a toxic and stressful
world.
It's hard to create or have a business if you're struggling with
your health.
She shares her Four-Fold Foundation:
Your foundation of faith and God.
Nutrition-understand and journal.
Pause and reflect.
Body-need to move, self-care, dry brushing
You can connect with Dana at divinewellness.com and go
listen to her on her podcast called ‘Wise Divine Woman’

I wanted to talk a little bit more about scheduling your success
in a way where you to think “YAH” I want that and why not schedule my own success!
With this being a new year, we don’t have any time to waste!
Because if you want to start your own business or even if you already have a business. You’re going to have to have many
things in place in order to start, run, and grow it, and having a schedule is very crucial to the success or your business.
You do have to choose the method that works best for you.
You can use a digital calendar or a paper planner. Whatever
you choose, make sure to use it consistently and that means
every day.

I want to talk about success in a way where you schedule in
your own success.
Think about this, if you have a job you have a schedule that
you’re on in order to get things done.
What is your definition of success?
No one will ever have the same definition of success, and write down what your definition is and what does it mean to you.
Does it mean that you have success in your family, having a
certain amount of money, or success in your job?
Don’t put any limits on your success because you have to find what’s most meaningful to you.
Every single day, 7 days a week schedule in 15 minutes to work
on doing something that will lead you to your success.
You can find 15 minutes a day even if you’re busy. If it’s meaning full to you, you can find 15 minutes a day.
Success could be in the areas of mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical - or all of the above.
There’s no timeline for success, but if you want to you can make
a timeline then figure out what you want to accomplish by what date.
Success can be a life long journey with milestones along the way.
I want to put this in your mind and in your heart.
If you don’t take the time to schedule in your success, someone else will come in and take up your time instead.

Open your treasure chest, what’s in there that is so precious. What you have in your heart is important.
Prepare what you’re going to do when… could mean anything.
It’s all about preparation is key for you to know how to deal with something like moments of frustration, something you’re doing that’s not going the way it supposed to.
Or moments of frustration and lack of motivation.
You have to prepare ahead of time. There’s that saying that: “if
ye are prepared, ye shall not fear”
Prepare for a few key things in your life at first if you haven’t done so yet.
An example of preparing would be to create a song list on your phone that’s going to help you get going and help you get motivated, especially if you have to do something and you’re lacking the motivation to do it.
Other things you could do if you have to give a presentation for your work or job and you’ve never done it before and you don’t
like doing that kind of stuff.
Another suggestion is to pray if you believe in prayer, meditation, play your song list, have a friend that you trust that you can call, text or FaceTime, watch a video(just be careful not to go down a rabbit hole of watching 10 videos).
When you prepare ahead of time, it will help alleviate a lot of
that fear, stress, and anxiety.

Receiving, for a lot of people, especially women is really hard.
You can’t receive if your plate is full.
So many women pile a lot of things on their plate and that
one plate is your capacity to be able to do all the things that
you have to do.
Women have a hard time saying no!
When your plate is piled so high, there’s no room for you to receive.
Have you ever said to someone that has given you something - “No, I don’t need that, I’m fine”?
It’s really bad to say to someone who is giving you something because life is about giving and receiving.
Check what’s on your plate because if your plate is full, you
can’t receive.
Giving and receiving is what makes the world go-'round and
it also makes you feel more fulfilled.
Receive today with a grateful heart.

I want to ask you what your thoughts are about failures and
how you think about them. When was the last time that you
told yourself that you failed?
Failure only happens when you don’t put forth any effort or
you give up and quit.
Look at the whole picture and think about failures as an opportunity for growth.
Is there something that happened in your childhood that you
think you failed at and that you’re holding onto?
Once you let go of any baggage, it frees you up to create and explore new things.
Look at your failures as opportunities, because no one is perfect, and be open to trying new things.
We need people to live fully, we need you to live more fully.

You can create anything you want with the creativity you have
and all of the technology that exists that are available to you.
One of the things that you have to do is to focus on your big vision. If you’re not used to thinking big or imagining what you want, then take the time today, just allow yourself to dream and image what you want.
You also have to surround yourself with supportive people who
are going to get excited with you.
Reach out to the people who are going to be supportive and
cheer you on like, your friends, cousins, etc.
Send a text message, send an email, call them on the phone,
post online about what you’re up to. If you have a Facebook, and/or Instagram account, reach out to all those people and
ask if they can support you in what you’re doing.
By doing those things, you will create a ripple effect and that’s what you want. People will share what you’re doing with their friends.

These are real questions that people have about starting a business.
The number one question that stops people from starting a business is:What if I have fear and doubt?
The second question that stops people is:
What if no one buys my stuff or doesn't sign up for my class
I want to teach?
The third question that stops people is:What if my life is so busy that I don't know when I'll have time?
These are all valid and real questions.
I share a number of solutions that you can do to help with any
of these things that could stop you from starting your business - like just take that first step forward and things will get better.
Tune in to hear what example I use when it comes to fear and doubt.

I’m sharing some examples of the quickest businesses to start where you don’t need money to get started.
Three things you can do:
- The first example is to teach something. For example, if you know how to play the guitar or the Ukulele or any other musical instrument, you can teach that online.
Another example of teaching something is, if you speak another language you can teach that to people.
- This next example is to sell something online. For example, you can sell things that you already have in your home on eBay or other sites like that.
You can also sell your craft or art that you have laying around.
- This last example is to have a service that you offer in-person.
In this video, I share all of these examples and the ways in which to work this business.
At the end of this video I share my secret sauce to success, so watch the video to the end.

The Objections People Have To Why They Can't Have Their
Own Business
There are 2 objections and reasons people have said to me
about why they can’t start or have their own business.
Do you want to know what they are?
They come in tied for the #1 reason because they say it in the same sentence and breath.
It’s that they don’t have enough time, and, they don’t have
enough money!
This is what I have to say about that from experience… you
can find 30 to 60 minutes in a day to start working on creating
a business.
If you don’t believe me, then please send me a DM, so that I
can show you where to find the time.
And, for the objection of not having enough money, I would like
to tell you that you do not need money to just start a small business at first.
Yes, you would need money if you are wanting to have a physical location, but to get started with something small you don’t need any money at first.
If you still don’t believe me, then please send me a DM and I can show you what you could do.
I have a Business Starter Kit if you know you’re ready to start a part-time business or start a full-time business. This kit will
guide you through all the steps you need to take to get your
gift out into the world.

There are so many benefits to having your own business, whether it’s part time or full time.
If you’ve ever wondered if it’s worth having your own business,
I’m sharing some of the benefits and best reasons why you would want your own business.
These are some benefits:
- You get to decide what kind of business it’s going
to be - for example, online, in-person like consulting where you are meeting with people, have a physical location, also known as a brick and mortar.
-
You get to decide how much you want to work: full time or
part time. -
You can choose how to run your business: if you want to run
it by yourself or hire someone to help you. -
You get to decide how much money you want to make.

Do you have one powerful question that you can ask yourself every morning when you wake up?
It’s important to have one question because when you wake
up in the morning, your thoughts and your mind just start going/racing and you wonder if it’s ever going to stop.
If you can come up with that one question, it will help stop
that bullet train.
One idea for a question you can ask yourself is:
“who do I want to become?” or “what else do I want to do
with the rest of my life?”
What else you want to do with the rest of your life? What
about fulfilling a dream?
Find one that really speaks to your heart.
You don’t want to be at the end of your life having regrets.
Have that powerful question that will take you where you
want to go.

I like to talk about little children because I have Grandchildren
and they are so much fun to watch.
Think back to when you were a kid, you used your imagination, and you played and were curious.
What were you curious about? What did you discover?
It’s amazing to be curious as an adult.
It could lead to learning something new or learning something
that can help you or help you become better.
I want you to find something new, go out today, and be curious.
With life being so busy, sometimes it doesn’t allow you to be curious, so keep curiosity in mind today.
Be curious about yourself. Is there something that you were curious about but have never taken the time to find out about it?
Do this today, you never know where it could lead to.

Your commitment to yourself. I talk about things that I work on and commitment is one of those things.
In the past, I’ve committed to only doing things that were easy. But I’ve learned that I have to commit to doing things that are
hard because that’s where I can learn and grow.
If you can commit to what you want, it just makes life so much sweeter.
Commit to yourself to do the hard things so that it will become easier.
You’re going to get older and have another birthday so you might as well do something to fulfill your dreams in the meantime.
Commitment, it can become a beautiful thing!

You’ll find what you’re looking for!
If you look for the good in life and in the world, you’ll find it,
and on the other hand if you look for the bad, you’ll find that
too.
You have to have both-the good and the bad.
What have you been looking for in your life? Take a minute
and think about it.
Have you been look for the good or the bad?
How has it affected it you?
There is more good in the world than there is the bad.
If you realize that you only look for the bad, I want to challenge
you to look for the good.
Take this time that what it is that you really want.
Everything here on earth is to benefit us, so lookfor the good.
What good can you do in this world?

Are you feeling fulfilled in your life?
Is there an area in your life where you feel like, hmmm, I’m not
so sure.
Do you ever find yourself saying things to yourself or out loud
like “I wish” or “I wish I could”?
Get out your notebook and write down what you think.
Write out questions like are you feeling fulfilled.
Write it out on paper what you’ve been saying, there’s a beautiful thing that happens when you do: it becomes real and it comes alive and you can feel it, see it, touch it.
Everyone has a treasure chest, it's my analogy about what’s in your heart. Open it and see what’s in there.
It’s safe for me to say that you are probably not 100% fulfilled in your life because no one has a perfect life.
If you do find yourself saying “I Wish”, it’s a good indication that you’re not feeling satisfied or fulfilled.
Maybe one day you’ll be able to say “I Did” verses “I Wish”.
Think about your wishes, your hopes, your dreams, your desires.
You don’t want to get to the end of your life and still have that
wish that’s still in your heart.
Do this for yourself today!

I want to talk about confidence because you do scary things, and it stems from a conversation that I had yesterday with someone that I know who has two young children.
She has a 3-year-old daughter who does “scary” things(really it’s only scary to adults) like jumping off the couch or stairs, and has this confidence about her in the way she walks and how she carries herself, even though she’s only 3!
When we do scary things, that’s where the confidence comes from.
You don’t have to do scary things like doing a cart-wheel, riding a motorcycle, or jumping out of an airplane.
It’s just about doing things that you think are scary in your daily life.
When you actually do that scary thing, you’ll gain that confidence and feel so much better about yourself.
Confidence is on the other side of scary(or whatever you want to name it).
Do something scary today!

It matters what you believe about yourself.
Are the beliefs about yourself serving you or hurting you?
Just because you believe something about yourself doesn’t
make it true.
Question what you believe about yourself. I can say for sure
that you have at least one belief abbots yourself that’s not true.
Take a step back and look at the whole perspective of your life, and see where your beliefs come from.
Are they true? Do that for yourself today. Reimagine your life.

When you have a business of your own, it helps you create something - using your own gifts.
That’s exactly what I want to share with you in this video,
being inspired and creating.
When was the last time you were inspired?
Do you pay attention to that inspiration?
Make sure you write it down as soon as it comes to your
mind or your heart because there’s a great possibility that
the inspiration will leave your mind as soon as it arrived.
Take action right away on that inspiration: whether it’s to
call someone, text someone, or create something.
All inspiration comes from God and there’s something that happens when you take action right away - It’s like the magic
of what you’re doing comes alive and it’s so beautiful to see
it unfold.
Do this for yourself today. You’ll reap the benefits when you take action on the inspiration you receive as soon as you receive it.

Do you have a daily practice?
Something that you do when you wake up every morning.
Sometimes life can become a daily grind where you
do the same thing day-in and day-out! That’s what I went
through for a long time and for that reason I started a daily practice and have gotten out of that daily grind I was in.
My practice consists of:
Kneeling in prayer because that’s my belief.
While I’m praying, I think about my day, how can it be effective, who can I serve, and things like that.
Then I make my bed and so on.
Work on keeping up the same practice and being consistent because how you do the morning routine will determine how your day will go and will help you.
You do have a practice every day even though you don’t realize
it.
When you’re in that daily grind, it doesn’t leave room for you to think of creating something that will get you excited every day.
So develop a practice to do every morning and start by writing down what thoughts you’re having first thing in the morning and
it will help you realize what’s going on in your life.
We all want joy and happiness. Do this for yourself today!

What would happen if you said yes to yourself?
It could be the greatest thing, it could be filled with
amazing things.
If you said yes, could you possibly open your treasure
chest you’ve had locked up for a long time?
Your treasure chest is like your hopes, your dreams, and
goals that you’ve always wanted to fulfill.
You have to say yes to yourself first and that has meaning.
If you say yes to taking care of your health because if
you’re sick all the time there’s no way you’ll be able to
even think about your hopes, dreams, and goals.
Start saying yes to yourself today. Open your treasure
chest.

Have you ever said, “I Can’t”?
Are there new opportunities that you’re saying I can’t too?
It could be for things that are going to help you learn and
grow mentally, spiritually, emotionally.
When you say “I can’t”, what you’re really saying is “I won’t”
and it’s usually fear that’s showing up on your doorstep. By
saying “I can’t”, you’re letting fear walk right in and take over.
Say “I Can!” and “I Will!”.
There are amazing things waiting for you when you do.

When we’re young you start to do things that you like and
don’t like, like chores.
When you have to do the same things over and over, you
get really good at it and that’s what creates ability and skill.
Then you’ll be able to say “yah, I can do that”.
If you have to do something hard or new and you start
to question your skills and abilities then fear and doubt
just take over and then, you start to think you’re not
capable anymore.
Then you don’t get that experience of what could happen
if you just use your abilities and experience new things.
Use your skills and abilities and don’t question them.

There are so many people that make lists like:
- the To-Do list
- the Honey-Do list
- the Bucket list
- the Grocery Shopping list
- the Work/Job list
But what if you could create a list that has more meaning and it’s deeper and has a longer-lasting effect on you, like a list of your hopes, dreams, and the things you want to accomplish.
What about creating a legacy for you and your family? Can you add that to this list?
Think about creating that kind of list that’s filled with amazing emotions like joy and happiness.
Open your treasure chest - the hopes and dreams you have in your heart.
In your trusty notebook, put down everything you want to Do, Be, and Create.
Now is a great time to use your gifts and start a creative business; whether it’s part-time or full-time.
There’s something so special when you create your own business and being able to share your gifts with people.
Send me a DM and let me know what kind of list you’re going to create today.

Are you using your gifts that you were given from God?
Don't let your gifts die!
If you don't ever use your gifts, they will die inside of you
and you'll
never know what that gift could have done for you, or how
it would have made you feel, or how it would have blessed
your life and the lives of other people.
Just like if a friend were to gave you a gift in a beautifully
wrapped box with a really pretty bow on it, and, you never
opened it to see what was inside! What!
That's like saying to your friend that you don't care that she
took the time to get the gift and then wrap it, tie with a ribbon
and a bow.
So why would you do that to yourself with your gifts?
Open your gifts today and use them! Now is the time.
It’s God’s way of showing His love for you.

Exercise is so important, especially as you get older and
if you spend a lot of time sitting at a desk working on your computer.
Exercise doesn't have to be something that takes up a lot
of time or is sweat-producing. You can just do something
simple like go walking.
Don't put it off until you start feeling aches and pains. I had
an accountability partner to go walking with for 10 years and
if that's what you need, then find one who's interested and is willing to help you along and exercise with you.
You have an amazing body that God has given you, so take
care of it.
Make sure to stretch every morning as soon as you get out of
bed because your muscles get tight from laying down all night while you're sleeping.

It’s so important to stick to what you stand for and have
integrity with yourself.
I have two things that are at the top of my list of the things
that is a hard rule that I won’t break.
The first one is - not swearing! I didn’t grow up in a house
where anyone swore, and my mom modeled for me that it’s
not necessary to swear.
The 2nd thing that I stand for is not being nasty to people
or talking to people in a nasty way.
I was taught to treat people the way I want to be treated,
and that’s how I live my life.
How are you choosing to live your life?
Are you sticking to what you stand for and not crossing
your own line?

Comparison is a common problem that we do, and when I
say we do it, it’s because I have done it in my life and every
now and then I catch myself doing it.
Think about the example of comparing apples to oranges,
the only thing they have in common is that they’re fruit.
So, if you compare yourself to someone, the only thing you
have in common is that you’re a human being or you both
are women.
It’s impossible to compare yourself to someone else because
there are no two people alike, not even identical twins.
You have your own unique gifts, talents, and skills.
God created you to be you! There’s no one else out there
that can be just like you.
It’s almost ridiculous that we compare ourselves to someone else. Going on social media can take you on a downward spiral when you look at other people and see only the perfect pictures and videos, but you have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes and the messiness.
Make a decision today that you’re going to focus on your gifts and talents and how special you are.
Focus on what makes you happy and what you can create that gets you excited to wake up to every morning and do or work on.
Your life will never look the same.

Have you stop dreaming, stopped wondering, stopped imagining?
You are creative!
Lean into what’s possible for you at this moment.
Get out your notebook and use your imagination of what’s
possible and write it all out.
Remember when you were a kid and you used to use your imagination? And if you don’t remember go and watch little
kids and watch them play, they use their imagination all the
time.
Your life will be amazing when you lean into your possibilities.
You have worth and value. Everything that you do in your life and your business matters.

There are things that could possibly be causing you frustration and maybe even irritation in your life.
If we are honest with ourselves, there usually is something that we need to let go of. (hint-hint...family members).
There's a lot of things that you can't control and especially when it comes to the people in your family. I know because I've tried!
People have their own ideas and their own way of living and you have to allow them to live life their own way, as hard as it may be.
It will make your life so much better because
It frees up your mind, It frees up space in your life and in
yourself to create beautiful things.

Do You Ask “What If?” Questions?
What if questions are very important for you to ask
yourself in your life and your business.
Seriously think about what if questions.
Start writing What if questions like:
What if my business were successful?
What if my life is/was successful?
Take the time every day to ask yourself these questions.
You never know where those questions could take you.
Let your mind go and let anything that comes to you mind
and let it flow.
Start making it a practice. You don’t know what’s possible
if you don’t ask.
Ask, ask, and ask!
Be persistent like when you were a kid.
You might be able to see what you were interested in
at such a young age.
It could lead you to some really good ideas in your
business
and your life.

If you’ve ever had a dream or desire to start a creative
business, I’m here to tell you to start now.
Women tend to put aside or disregard their dreams of
having a creative business.
Do you worry too much about what other people are doing to
think or what they’re going to say?
I’ve heard excuses like: I’m too busy or I’m too tired.
Family is not always the most supportive, but, keep that
stirring inside of you alive because God has given you
these creative gifts to bless you and others.
I want to ask you again: Do you have a dream that you
want to bring it alive?
Now is the greatest time to start a creative business. Are you out of work or are you in a job that you don’t like?
I’m here to help women start or grow a creative business.
Creativity will fill you up, use your gifts to make you come
alive - it will benefit you and your family.
We need more people to spread joy in the world more now than ever and it feels amazing when someone buys your art and it brings them joy.
I have a special offer starting today where you can sign up for a 45 minutes coaching session with me to help you get started with your very own creative business. And it’s a special price of $47 from now November 4 to November 16, 2020.

Aloha friends! I want you to imagine yourself sitting on a beach and the sand is soft and cool, and the smell of the ocean breeze makes you feel so relaxed.
Close your eyes and use your senses to take it all in - the smell of the ocean, the sound of the water moving, and the waves crashing.
Take a moment for yourself and imagine what’s possible for you.
There's something so powerful about water and the ocean. Do this for yourself as often as you can.

Aloha friends! I want to share with you the 5 simple steps to beginning your creative business because if you don’t know how then what tends to happen is you start having thoughts swirling around in your mind that can scare you and I want to help you get started without the scary! Halloween is over ladies, let’s get started.
Step 1 - Partner with God - because He can guide you and make your business better than you can ever imagine.
Step 2 - Decide what you want to do for your business and who you’re going to serve- what’s your gift that you’ve been given and that you want to share with people.
Step 3 - How much time - part-time or full time, how many hours you have and want to use for your business so that you know what to focus on in the amount of time you have.
Step 4 - Decide what you want to name your business and register your business name with the state you live in. If you’re having a hard time deciding on a name, just use your first and last name for now.
Step 5 - Create your first piece of content and share it with as many people as you can, and if you have a product take pictures of it and share the pictures with as many people as you can too, for example, your family(if they’re supportive), friends, co-workers or former co-workers, on social media if you have social media accounts.
I have a special offer starting today where you can sign up for a 45 minutes coaching session with me to help you get started with your very own creative business. And it’s a special price of $47 from now November 2 to November 16, 2020.

Aloha sisters! I want to share with you what it means to have a CREATIVE business.
IT’S WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE!
I’m not trying to be funny, but you can create and have whatever kind of business you want and that’s the beauty of a creative business.
I can almost guarantee that you love to create beauty and there’s something so
magical about that and sometimes it’s hard to explain because it’s just what you do.
These are a short list of what it means:
-
it’s where you put your heart and soul
-
you use your God-given creative gifts and put something that you create out into the world
-
It’s something that you care about deeply and it comes from your heart and you create something that’s special to you
-
It expresses a part or all of who you are and your core values
-
It’s fulfilling where you wake up everyday feeling excited about your life and what you’re creating
-
you bring to life what exists in the spiritual and bring it into the physical world
-
where you are serving other people for free and in exchange for money
-
you can decide how many hours you want to work
-
you decide who you’re going to serve
- what it’s going to look like
- how much time you want to spend in and on your business.
Are you ready for a business coach?
If yes, send me an email at aloha@janinjohnston.com
and let’s get started!

Aloha sisters, I wanted to do a wrap up about what I've been talking about in episodes #71 to #74 which is mindset. And it's been an interesting journey learning about mindset. And I hope you found great value in what I'm talking about and the things
that I'm sharing.
Mindset is so important and it has to be talked about a lot more than it already is.
In episode #71, I talked about what is mindset and I tried to describe it in a different way. Not in a scientific or technical, but I tried to just describe it as like if I were having a conversation with you if you're sitting right here with me.
In episode #72, I titled it this specific title on purpose and the tile is “if you set your mind to it!”, like WHAT! You have to understand what that means and you have to have somebody help you to understand what that means as well.
In episode #73, I talked about getting an upgrade, you know, do you want an upgrade to your mindset? I know I do. And I shared about how you have to come from a place of love, and you have to be able to love and accept yourself. In order to upgrade your mindset,
In episode #74, I talked about what mindset are you gonna choose and that’s the question is “what mindset are you going to choose?”
Whatever that mindset is, I hope you choose to be open to possibilities.

You have free will to choose, also known as agency.
You do have a choice on what kind of mindset you want to
have.
Mindset is like a bucket full of all different things like your
beliefs and how you view yourself.
Your Mindset is not fixed. In my 30 years of working with
women, the only thing that makes it seem like they have a
fixed mindset is because fear shows up and gets in the
way of them being open to possibilities.
Write down what kind of mindset you want. Do you have a mindset that’s not serving you very well? Do you want to upgrade?
With mindset, you have to choose what you want, so think
about it and decide today.

I’m here to help you use your God-given creative gifts that are waiting to be set free, and to have purposeful fulfillment!
I want to ask you ‘do you want an upgrade? An upgrade to your mindset’?!
In the last two episodes #71 & #72, I've been talking about mindset, because I find it fascinating what it's about.
If you haven't had a chance to listen to those two episodes, please go back and listen to them after this.
It's really interesting to learn about mindset because how you think will always create your reality and I've had a certain set of thought patterns of how I think of things in a certain way over and over.
All we do and say and how we live is all what we've learned from when we were a child growing up and all the different influences. And now as an adult, you decide how you want to live. But how you grew up will always come into play, unless you make a conscious decision and that you become aware of what you're thinking and what you want.
Because of all those reasons I want to talk about upgrading your mindset.
The first thing I want to talk about in order to upgrade is that you have to come from a place of love. I'm talking about the kind of love where you give yourself credit, you give yourself some grace, and you accept who you are.
Your mind is not set. So just remember that the only thing that is going to get in your way of having an upgrade to your mindset or growing as a human being is just the fear and the doubt, but it's mostly fear.
Take the time to upgrade your mindset and start doing that with love, even just thinking about love can help you feel better because the way you think, will determine how you feel as well. So, do this for yourself today.

Yesterday on episode #71, I talked about mindset like what in the world is mindset. I think it's kind of like, a topic that needs many discussions or many opportunities to learn about it. So I want to talk more about it today.
I titled this episode: If you set your mind to it. WHAT! Because have you ever heard anybody say that to you “if you just set your mind to it.”?!
Okay, what does that mean? Have you ever thought like that like, okay, I don't know how to do that? Can you just show me, or like explain. But what I think it all comes back to is, your mindset is a whole bucket of things.
It's what you believe in, the thoughts that you have and how
you were raised, and more.
So you start to believe things about yourself and just because
you believe something doesn't make it true, question what you believe, and about your mindset and what you're thinking. If you have a positive mindset that you can learn new things and do things, even though it's hard, that'll help you to be able to learn and grow and change your mindset to being more positive and getting on that road to accomplishing things.

I’ve been hearing a lot of people talk a lot about mindset and
even though I was introduced to the term mindset, I still had
a hard time understanding what that really means.
And for that reason, I want to talk about mindset
all week, so that you and I can have a better understanding
of what mindset is and why it matters in our lives.
There are many different definitions from various sources
that I share in this video.
To me, it sounds like mind-set is only one way of
thinking and that there’s no other way.
My understanding of mindset is a set of ideas, beliefs,
and things about how you think and how you want to live
your life.
Come on this mindset journey with me this week.

In this episode, I talk about creativity because people seem to have their own definition of what creativity is or to create.
Creativity is everywhere, everything that you see in the world is a creation.
The word create means to bring into existence.
So when you're creating something, you're bringing something into existence that wasn't here physically, in front of you, and here on earth.
One of the synonyms for creativity is using your imagination.
It's also important to use your imagination as part of the creation process.
Get a notebook and every morning, write down what's going on in your head, what you're thinking, and all of your creative ideas.

This is a continuation of the video from last week with the
same title - What Do You Give Yourself Credit For?
And I hope you did the exercise that I suggested that you
do which was to write down on paper all the little things
that you’re not noticing that you can give yourself credit for.
Doing that exercise helps me to catch myself when I’m
thinking negative thoughts first thing in the morning because
one negative thought can lead to more negative thoughts.
It will help you to catch yourself too when you’re thinking
negative thoughts.
Our thoughts lead to everything we do in our lives.
You have worth and value and I’m here to tell you that!

What do you give yourself credit for? Ask yourself that question
and just give it a minute, because a lot of the times, we
don’t give ourselves credit for the things we do.
We work really hard at certain things in our lives and then when
we’ve gotten really good at something, we don’t give ourselves
credit.
We really have to work on our mindset and our thoughts,
because sometimes our thoughts are really not good thoughts.
We have to give ourselves credit for the things that we’ve worked hard for.
Every day, write down on paper what you can give yourself
credit for.
Enjoy!
Let me know if this video has helped you.

Can you tell by looking at this T-shirt in the video that
it's pulling to the left?
This shirt was really inexpensive and it's really thin,
lightweight, and really cool to wear. I bought it because
it's hot here in Hawai'i and I wanted to wear it at home.
But because it was inexpensive, it was made really
cheaply.
I talk a little about how a shirt is supposed to be cut
out from the fabric and what happens when the shirt is
NOT cut out of fabric the right way.
When the shirt is not cut the right way, it will pull to
one side when you wear it and I see this a lot on people.
And you may not even notice or recognize it at first.
If the shirt is really cheap in price it may not be worth
buying it with your hard-earned dollars.

Do You Treat Your Clothes Differently Depending
On How Much You Paid For It?
This is something that is pretty common that I’ve noticed
for people to treat their clothes differently depending on
how much they’ve paid for it.
People also behave differently in their clothes if it’s more
expensive but if it was cheap or on sale, they pass it off
as if it doesn’t matter how they treat their clothes.
But I would say even if you didn’t pay a lot of money, still
treat it like it was something that was a little bit more
expensive.
Get into that mindset of how you’ll treat your clothes because
if you tend to act like you care for your clothes no matter
how much you paid for it, it will make a difference in how
you act, how you sit, how you stand, you’ll be more careful
when you’re eating to make sure that you don’t spill anything
on it.
You’re using your hard-earned dollars to pay for your clothes
so it’s important to take care of it and the things that you have.
It will also make a difference when you wash your clothes on
a delicate cycle or if it needs to be hand washed or dry cleaned.
Take care of what you have.

Cheap vs expensive, how do you live your life?
You have to have money to live on but you don’t have
to think about living a life where you’re thinking that you
always have to have a cheap mindset.
Your finances have a lot of emotional pull on you.
Do you look at life as having to Cheap or do you look at life
like - I’m worth it so I’m going to pay a little bit more.
Remember that you have dreams to fulfill.
How you feel about yourself will usually determine
how you will live your life.
Iʻm her to tell you that you have worth and value!

OK with being yourself, this is something that so many women
struggle with.
They are not embracing who they are because of comparison.
We are more than a 3D person, we have personalities, feeling
and all the other things that make up a human being.
We’re created to be unique on purpose and we come to earth
with our own unique characteristics.
We start to learn as we get older that we are different and then
we start to compare ourselves with other people.
Think about how you can get back to who YOU are.

In this video, I share a story about my experience that I recently
had when I went to a store that I usually go to, and it was about
the cashier who was sick and felt really terrible.
Her financial situation must be so bad that she felt like she
couldn’t even go home from work.
So, I want to ask you - can you afford to call in sick or go home
from work, if you are sick?
Please take a moment and write down all of your income and
expenses and take a look at where you are so that you won’t
have to suffer at work when you’re sick.

Today I talk about showing your undergarments, bra
and things like that. I see girls and women wearing
t-shirts or tank tops or things that have small straps
and their bra straps showing.
Some people don’t think that that’s a problem, but it
is a problem because you shouldn’t be showing your
underwear, it’s not attractive, and people will naturally
look at what’s wrong with what you’re wearing at first
instead of looking at what’s right.
There are better ways of dressing.

I'm sharing with you some of the things that you can do with the
leftover plastic that you get when you dry clean your clothes.
There are things that you can't wash yourself by throwing it into
the washing machine and because of that you would need to have
it dry-cleaned.
When you dry clean your clothes, there will always be a piece of plastic covering your clothes to protect it.
Do you ever get dust on the shoulders or collar of your jackets
or outfits when they hang in your closet for months or even
years? If you do then this episode is for you.

One of the things that I’ve discovered by working
with women is that they suffer from really poor
body image.
It’s really hard to look good in your clothes if you
have a really poor body image, because your poor
body image shows up in your posture, how you stand
how you walk, how you sit, how you talk.
Do you have a poor body image? If you’ve answered
you to that question, your not the only one.
Try thinking about the things that are positive instead
of focusing on the negative things about yourself.

- Do you ever feel like money takes the luster out of life?
Money is something people really don’t like to talk about,
but we all want money.
We have to get to a point where we get comfortable talking

it suck the life out of us.
When you’re stressed about money, it shows on your face,
it shows up in the conversations that you have.
Don't give all of your good energy to stressing over money.
There are things that you can do to alleviate a lot of that stress,

can set aside every month to use as a backup.

People think that it's ok to wear gold and silver jewelry together,
but from what I know is that gold and silver are not usually complimentary when you wear them together, but, there are exceptions to that rule.
Gold and Silver has their own vibe - gold gives off a warm feeling when you're wearing it and silver tends to give off a cooler type of vibe, and the two different metals tend to clash when you wear them together.
If you want to wear the two metals together, make sure that the pieces have something in common like diamonds or that the pieces are both the same as they both are delicate or both are chunky.

Do you even have a style? I want to talk about it because
many people are confused about style.
Have you heard people talk about the different styles called
- a girly look, an edgy look, a classic look, a vintage look, a
sporty look, a beachy look, a bohemian look, a punk rock look?
The styles of dress are as diverse as people are.
Think about how you feel when you get dressed, deciding what
your style is just fun. You can create the look and feel that you
want.
Experiment with different styles and colors, you’ll be amazed at
what you can create.

Find out what a printed fabric can do for you!
There are many types of fabric out there like I mentioned in my previous video and I want to share with you in this video about the design or print that's on the fabric of the clothes that you're wearing.
Sometimes when you go shopping for clothes, you are automatically are attracted to the print or color.
Busy print fabric hides a lot of things like bumps and bulges, and
cotton fabric that is woven will camouflage your bumps and bulges because it doesn't cling to your body like a knitted shirt or blouse will.
We all want to look nice in our clothes, so pay attention to all the little details of the clothes that you're wearing.

There are many different types of fabrics that your clothes
are made out of and I share some reasons why you should
care.
There are natural fabrics like cotton and then there are man-
made fabrics like polyester and rayon.
There are different ways that fabrics are made - woven
and knitted, and these fabrics can be loosely or tightly
woven or knitted together.
You should be aware of what you’re wearing.
Some fabrics breathe well and others don’t so make sure
you try on the clothing items before you buy it, because
you won’t be able to tell just by looking at it.

I’ve been talking about color and how important it
is. Color tells a visual story by telling people what
colors you like. Do you like to wear bright happy colors?
Wearing black and neutral colors also tells a story
about if you like to be seen or noticed.
Another way is - are you happy or not? Do you wear
your favorite or bright colors? Do you like to feel happiness
and joy when you do?
What you believe is another visual story that you’re telling.
Do you believe that wearing black or dark colors will make
you look thinner?
You should wear your favorite color, it will make you happy.

Color is important. Red, we usually associate that color with
Valentine’s Day and we also associate color with the other
occasions throughout the year, like Easter - we think of the
yellows and the pastel pinks and pastel blues.
Each color creates some kind of emotion and affects our lives
without us even realizing us.
Color can be very persuasive. There's a color psychology to
every color out there.
Wear the different colors that you don't normally wear! You have
to have a little variety in life.

Color is everywhere and it's all around us, it affects our

We don't always pay attention to color when we get dressed.
Light has a lot to do with color and everyone perceives color
and sees color differently.
Color brings so much joy and happiness into our lives.
You should always wear your favorite color because it
will make you feel good.
Color affects our moods and emotions.

When you wear a beige jacket that is really close to your skin tone,
it tends to make your face look washed out because light bounces
off of your clothes and gives your skin a different appearance.
There are different tones and shades of beige and one of the things
that you can do is to wear a shirt or a blouse under your jacket
that gives your face some color. The light will reflect off of your shirt or blouse and onto your face giving your face a much more vibrant look.
There's no reason to get rid of a beige jacket that you love to wear!

It's a really serious question and you don't have to think about that only at the beginning of the new year.
Knowing how to dress and what style would look good on you is important, but, things that are deep down inside within us is more important.
What's important is that you care about what's in your heart and in your mind, that guides everything that we do.

Do you like to wear all black? I want to bring your attention to
the difference in the color of your black clothes.
Light will make the shirt and skirt look different, especially if the
shirt is made from a different fiber than the skirt (or pants if you're wearing pants).
As much as possible try to wear black clothes that are the same
fiber content to prevent each piece from looking dull or grey.

Do you compare yourself to other people? I don’t think it’s a new topic, but I want to talk about how it’s really not equal - you, comparing yourself to other people because we’re all created differently and that’s the beauty of life is that we’re all different and I just want to let you know there are no two people - even twins, identical twins are not exactly alike. So because we’re not alike, you can’t compare yourself to other people. I know it’s a natural human tendency to compare yourself, and I know i’ve done it before, but I try to I make it a practice of how I live my life now not to compare myself and its’ great when you’re older, you get a lot wiser and you know better and you realize that we’re all different and there’s nobody else like me. I can’t be like somebody else that I admire. I can admire the qualities that they have, but it would be really doing myself a disservice to compare myself to them because we all come to earth with our own gifts and our own talents. If you focus on what you have and the gifts that you’ve been given and you try to make use of those gifts and talents in your life, then you really don’t have time to compare yourself to other people, and at the end of the day it really doesn’t make you feel happy anyway! Usually when you compare yourself to other people, it’s what you see on the outside, you’re not looking at the whole picture. You don’t know what their life is like personally, you don’t know what kind of struggles they have going on mentally and emotionally. I would ask you to please look at your own gifts and your own talents and not to compare yourself to other people. As I continue to talk about clothing and style and fitting your clothes, what looks good on you, I also give clothing care tips because it’s really important to care about your clothes, not only to care about yourself but, you need to care about your clothes, how to take care of it especially when you spend money on your clothes - you want it to last as long as possible. Even though I’m talking about all those other things, you need to make sure that you just focus on yourself as far as focusing on what gifts you have - how can you grow them, how can you make your gift become even better so that you can share it with other people around you in your community, wherever you are, wherever you go. I know this because I’ve been working with a lot of women for many, many years and I see the comparison that they do, even my conversations with them, they talk about how they wish they “were like this person that they know” and this person has ‘this’ quality or this person has a 'perfect figure'. We all have to embrace who we are, we have to embrace the gifts and just the uniqueness that we are, I can’t even begin to express how important it is to embrace your own gifts and uniqueness. So, if you ever find yourself comparing yourself to other people, other women -the first thing I would say is “just stop yourself”. Just ask yourself some really, really great questions. You can ask yourself questions like: * Is this serving me? * Is this making me feel good? (I can bet you that the answer will be no!)
Anytime you compare yourself to other people, the answer will always be NO.I can guarantee you that! I have never met anyone that has felt good after they’ve compared themselves to someone else. So just start by asking yourself powerful questions and when you do find yourself comparing yourself to someone else, make sure you stop it and catch it. Be aware of it all the time because sometimes comparison can be a daily thing. And then you realize after a while that it’s making you crazy, because we’re always focused on someone else and we want to be like someone else when we’re not realizing the uniqueness and the great qualities that WE have. There’s always an underlying reason why we do that, sometimes we have self-worth issues and we have self-esteem issues - even though we don’t want anyone to know about them that we have them, we have them. I have met a lot of people who didn’t want anyone to know, but it’s really obvious in the way act and the conversations I have with them - the things that they say. Eventually people will admit that they have these self-esteem issues and self-worth issues and there’s so many people that have them, so if you find that you’re in that position right now of having those feelings, don’t be embarrassed, don’t get down on yourself. Just be willing to recognize it and to work on it - that’s the first step is to be willing to recognize it. It’s easy to get into denial, denial can be something that’s really not good for you and it’s always good to face the truth. Sometimes we don’t like the truth, but when we face it and we work towards overcoming it or letting go of the thoughts and feelings that really don’t help us and serve us - we start to feel so much better. Then you find that you will stop comparing yourself to other people, it is a daily thing, but it’s worth it, that’s the thing about working on yourself is that the harder things are always worth it and I invite you to take an inventory of what you are experiencing in your life, in your thoughts and your emotions. Are you comparing yourself to other people? Sometimes it’s hard to admit it and look at it, but I think it you’re at a place where it’s just making you crazy then now is a good time to look at, to overcome it. Of course it will take steps to get there, but you really have to want to overcome these comparisons. Embrace your gifts and your uniqueness. As I talk more and more about style and fashion, I have to include all these mental and emotional thoughts and issues that we have before I can even really talk about dressing so that you look good in your clothes and dressing so that your clothes fit you properly, you have to work on the underlying things first before you can work on the outer appearance, you have to work on the inner appearance, that may sound strange but there is an inner appearance that happens on the inside that we try to imagine ourselves to be, we can picture ourselves a certain way on the inside. It’s OK, we all experience things in life. That just helps us learn and grow. We have to have these struggles, so that we can become a better person, we can get to know our strengths and our weaknesses and it just makes us ‘so much the wiser’ as work and acknowledge these things. Just remember, don’t compare yourself to other people because it’s not serving you, embrace your uniqueness and the gifts that you have.

Today I want to talk about the topic that every woman has
secret feelings about how she feels about her body!
I wanted to start off by letting you know that this is really
common. Every woman has secret feelings about she feels
about her body.
Secret feelings don’t just show up one day in your mind
and heart, it’s like with anything that you struggle with,
it starts when you were a baby.
The one thing that I have always thought was really fascinating
is how little baby girls are so aware of what’s going on around
them. If you’ve ever watched little babies, you’ll understand
what I’m talking about - it’s really fascinating.
They seem to be so much older than they really are! I think it’s just amazing how these little spirits that have come to earth and they’re so much more valiant than ever before, they’re just so much smarter.
And for that reason, I want to focus on baby girls that become toddlers, pre-teenagers, teenagers and then women because, those are the stages in a woman’s life that she becomes more and more aware of how her
body looks as she gets older. If you’re a woman, you should have gone through all of those stages in your life and are now you’re at a point where you have recognized that you have these secret feelings about your body!
Secret feelings can be good or bad, and maybe you have both good and bad feelings about certain parts of your body because maybe, you might like your legs but not really liking the rest of your body. There’s no end to what a woman can feel.
Baby girls are always paying attention to what’s going
on around them, all the time. That’s just how girls are created, we’re just aware of everything. If you think about it, that kind of awareness is something that continues on into adulthood. I know it’s definitely a gift from God given to baby girls so that when they grow up and become adults and have their own families they will be able to know what’s happening and can nurture their own children.
With that in mind, it’s safe to say that how girls feel about their body is something that they learn from the women around them. It’s usually a woman and/or grandmother that are/is the one taking care of and raising little girls.
A lot of grandparents are raising kids nowadays and it’s been happening for decades.
Everything that a baby, toddler, pre-teen & teenage girl hears about her body and other women’s bodies is taken in and processed in a very unique way deep within her mind and heart because everyone is different.
We take all of these things in, and I’m speaking for myself
too.
From what I’ve seen and heard over the last 25 years working with women and having women clients, is that most of what they say about their bodies is usually negative.
There were some that had extremely negative feelings too.
Because I’ve sewn for women for such a long time, I thought I’ve heard it all! But, you know what happens when I have to take my clients body measurements? They start to reveal their secret feelings about how they feel about their body, because I’m wrapping a tape measure around them.
I guess you might say that they trust me enough to let me take their body measurements, so they trust me enough to tell me how they feel…about a lot of things besides their body.
They’ve said things like - they’ve heard women in their life say things out loud like - I have a big butt, I’m so fat, I’m too short, I’m ugly compared to _ _ _ _ _(you fill in the blank), my boobs are not big enough, I have thunder thighs! Wow!
That would scare anyone. These are only a few of the things that women think and secretly feel about themselves, I have heard many more things from women but I won’t list them all because it’s really sad.
I just love people so much that I don’t even want to say some
of the things that I’ve heard.
A lot of the secret feelings women have about their bodies
are a learned behavior and comparing themselves to other
women. It’s just natural for a little girl growing up to copy what the women in their life are feeling, what they’re saying and what they’re doing - even if it’s harmful to their mind, their heart, their body and their spirit.
It is possible to overcome this kind of negative feeling about
your body. (I just wanted to let you know)
It will take a little time if you’re willing and want to let go of
those negative feelings that have been dragging you down for who knows how long. It’s not worth holding on to negative secret feelings that are probably not true.
I’ve heard a lot of things that I know are not true about what
these women are saying.
Women come in all shapes and sizes which is a wonderful
thing, because that makes us all unique. You have to know
that your value as a woman is priceless. I hope you ladies
think about this!
One of the most powerful things that you can do to get started on having a more positive feeling about your body is by learning how to dress for your body shape and your height.
I can’t stress enough how powerful it is to dress in a way
that makes you look good in the clothes that you have on!
I’ve seen it over and over again for many years how wearing
the right style of clothes that works to highlight the right parts
of your body (not that there’s a wrong part of your body), but
you want to put an emphasis on the right parts and not only
that, but wearing the right styles of clothing that fits you per-
fectly and it just happens to give you a boost of confidence
when you are wearing clothes that fits you right and you feel
good in it.
Now that, I say is powerful! We all want confidence right!
Always remember - you want to wear clothes that work best
for YOUR body shape and height, and not wear the style of
clothes that the fashion models are wearing that you see on
commercials and in magazines and billboards, you see it
everywhere.
Those images that you see are photoshopped, none of it is real. Just remember these things.
When YOU look good, you FEEL good! Looking good is different for everyone.
I wanted to share that with you today, it is possible for everyone
to look good in the clothes that they're wearing.
As I share more podcast episodes, as I mix in the fashion
and the style and the clothing fit in with your finances - I’m
going to show you how it all works together.
I would love to hear what you would want to know about and
some of the things that you’re feeling or some of the things
that you’re learning or any ah-ha moments. I would love that!
It really makes my day when I get messages from people.
I really hope that you really get a lot of value and maybe even
re-listen to this episode, because these secret feelings about
your body - maybe you want to think about it and see. Are your
feelings negative or positive?
I would love for you to share this podcast with anybody who you feel would benefit from listening to all of these things that I’m teaching and sharing.
I hope you have a great day and I’ll see you soon, and I will
definitely be talking with you again.

It’s time to add the FASHION into the FashionableFianance.com!
For a while now I’ve only been writing, talking, and podcasting about you and your finances. While learning about your finances is extremely important, so is fashion (in my opinion of course).
I say that fashion is important because everyone has to wear clothes!
That’s just the bottom line right? There’s just no way around it,
especially when the weather is really hot and humid and you don’t really want to put clothes on, we don’t have a choice - we all have
to wear clothes.
I will continue to talk about finances in between all of the fashion information I share, because…what you wear does have an impact on your finances! I know you’re thinking “what?” I will be sharing with you why and how in the coming months. So stay tuned!
For right now I want you to know that It’s important to care about
what you wear.
I have a question for you:
Did you ever stop to think about what you wear every day?
Think about that for a minute.
With life being so busy all the time, it’s really hard to get everything in your life working for you the way you want it on a daily basis. We have to juggle things sometimes and there’s always something that comes up.
Fashion and clothes are not always the first thing on people’s mind when they get up in the morning. Sometimes I think a lot of people are like me and are just happy to know that we even got out of bed, especially when you’re tired and the bed is nice and cozy!
Ok, got a little off-topic, but I just had to share that. :)
For some, the idea of having to put together an outfit feels frustrating, and then having to do it in the morning is even more frustrating, especially if you’re in a rush to get ready, get children ready and get out the door in time. Oh yah, I forgot to mention all the stuff that needs to happen in between the getting dressed and getting out the door.
There’s like a million things, especially if you have to make your own lunch - who knows what else, it could add up to a lot of things.
It can make anyone crazy! I’ve been there, done that. It’s not fun. Learning from the past is sooo great, because now I can help other women with these kinds of things that I’ve gone through as a mother with 4 children - trying to get out the door (In one piece) without screaming and yelling at your children.
I’m not perfect, I did yell at my children but that’s for another time and another story.
Learning how to dress and what clothes look best on you can be
simple and fun with some help if you’re open to recommendations.
Most women I know are open to learning what they can do to up their style.
Who doesn’t want to look good in their clothes, right?
I do know that not everyone is interested in fashion and style, and that’s OK, you don’t have to be.
BUT, you do have to be interested in knowing how to dress for your body type, what colors look best on you and how to make sure your clothes fit you properly. All of these things will make a big difference on how you feel while you’re wearing your clothes.
These three things are the most common areas of fashion and style that a lot of people don’t know and understand, which ends up in buying clothes that don’t work for them and a lot of money being wasted on those items.
I know a few women that have bought clothes because they thought the items were really nice and they loved the color and oh… it was on sale and was really cheap, only to hang it in their closet with the store tags still on the clothes and never, ever have these clothes seen the light of day again.
Is that you? Is there anyone out there that is doing that or has done that?
If you have, it’s OK. No judgment here.
I would just recommend that you ask yourself some questions, like:
~Are you ever going to wear that item of clothing in your lifetime?
~What did you like about that item, that made you buy it?
~Did you buy it because you were just having a bad day and needed to do some emotional shopping? (sometimes we have to do that!)
~Does it fit you right? If you don’t remember, try it on.
If you do have these clothes hanging in your closet with the tags still on them, go in there and ask yourself all these questions about each items.
If you don’t know the answers to any of these questions, then I would recommend that you give it to someone that you know who would really appreciate it and would fit into it. Or, if you are ashamed to give it to someone that you know then consider donating it to an organization that helps women get back up on their feet and helps them look for a job.
These organizations always need new items of clothing for women to look professional while they are going on job interviews.
Either way, don’t hang onto it if you know you will never wear it. It’ just creates clutter and takes up space in your closet that you could be using for something that you’ll actually wear on a regular basis.
Believe it or not, clearing out your closet is one of the first steps to learning about how to dress for your body type, what colors look best on you and having your clothes fit you right.
It’s the first step because when you have a closet full of clothes that you don’t even wear, whether it’s brand new or not creates a place of confusion and sometimes stress.
I can also bet that at least half of the clothes in your closet don’t fit
you right, I know this from experience. Especially since I’ve sewn for women for 25 years.
So, as soon as you can, open your closet and see what’s going on in there. Start by pulling out an item of clothing that still has tags on them, or you know that you will never wear again. A little at a time is the best thing to do, don’t try to tackle your closet all in one day. No stressing allowed.
I know that if you just start there, you will immediately feel an interesting kind of relief. Try it and find out!
I’m so happy that you’re here and I would love it if you would share this podcast with other people out there, especially women since I talk about women most of the time.
There’s got to be somebody else out there that you know who would get great value out of listening to this, and if they don’t know what a podcast is then I think it’s time that you show them.
Thank you again for listening because I know everyone is so busy and you could be somewhere else at this time, but you chose to listen to me and I’m so grateful for that - Mahalo!
A Hui Hou Malama Pono, until next time, take care.
Aloha,

I hope you get a lot of value out of listening to this podcast.
I wanted to let all of you listening know that I didn’t forget
about you. I’ve been working on incorporating fashion, style,
and clothing fit into fashionable finance.
So far I’ve only been talking about is how to deal with you
finances and to have JOY at the same time, while letting
women know that it’s OK to talk about money and ask for help.
I also love to share and teach on the topics that can help you
improve your life, because I always want to inspire and help
women and moms who are really busy and to have them be
able to learn on the go. Sometimes it seems like that’s the
only way we can get things accomplished and learn
Helping women has always been really important to me my
entire adult life. I think about all of you listeners all the time
and wonder what I can share with you that will make a difference
in your life.
I think about it constantly because I love to share.
It’s time now to incorporate the style, fashion and clothing fit
into this podcast and not only talk about finances and life.
There’s a lot more to learn and experience. I’m all about
creating experiences for people. It has definitely been the
highlight of my day when I was teaching my students how to
sew and how to incorporate everyday items into the realm of
creating and sewing, and just being creative.
It’s so easy to combine the two.
And that’s where the magic happens is when my students had
these experiences and they got excited when they could see
what I was trying to show and teach them. That’s what I
want for you.
It can be a really magical experience when you combine two
things or ideas that you would never think could go together,
but somehow it just works beautifully.
That’s like combining or meshing fashion and finance, it sounds
a bit strange but it works.
I hope to be able to show you how it works as time goes by and
you are able to listen to the other episodes that I have planned
and I want to create for you.
And by the way, I don’t teach fashion that teaches you how to be
trendy, because trendy only works for a select few women, (and
let me emphasize a few!) for the most part, it doesn’t work well
overall.
So don’t worry that I’m going to be teaching about crazy fashion
trends and ideas that wouldn’t work for you. I’m a no-nonsense
type of person. I teach what works and what doesn’t. I feel that’s
the best way to go. I like to teach so that you can get the best out
of what works for you and your figure and lifestyle.
I just wanted to share that with you, I wanted you to know that I
have more podcast episodes coming your way and I hope you find it
interesting. I’m going to see how it works - incorporating fashion and finance.
Thanks again for, you being here and listening to this episode and
listening to me, I really appreciate it because there are so many things to do and life is busy and I’m thankful that you chose to listen to this podcast.
If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, I would love for you to
share any of the podcast episodes with other people that you know
who you think would be able to benefit from the things that I’m sharing.
It really makes my day to know that I’m helping other people out and I want so much to enrich their lives, to help them to grow and learn and have a much more fulfilling life as well as those of you that are listening.

a hui hou malama pono - until next time, take care!
The topic of doing things differently in your life is a really interesting one and you’ll understand what I mean. I’ve always been the kind of person that I've always tried to do things a little differently in my life. I think it started from when I was a little girl because I can remember when I was a kid having that thought and feeling of wanting to do things how I wanted to do it and when I wanted to do it. You might want to call it rebellion kind of sounds like rebellion, I think I did become rebellious when I was a pre-teen(I hope it didn’t start when I was a kid in elementary, that wouldn’t be good!) (Sorry Mom!) I have to apologize to my mom because I'm pretty sure I gave my Mom and other family members a lot of stress at times or shall I say quite often. As I think about it now, I think I felt and acted that way because of the amount of creative energy that I had from a really young age. As a kid I always went with that creative energy that was moving and flowing, isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? We’re supposed to go with that flow, that we’re feeling. I have to thank my Mom because she was the one that was always doing something creative with my siblings and me. I am so grateful for that! We were always doing crafts, I did a lot of sewing, she did a lot of sewing and we were always just creating - working with clay and things like that. Why is it that, it always seems the case that we don’t appreciate our moms until we get much, much older, and then we have to suffer in our own lives before we wake up and appreciate our moms! I’m glad at least I woke and started appreciating all the things that she did for me. What I've come to realize is that you have to find out who you are, all the way down to the depths of your very soul. When you do that it becomes very evident that we are all different on every level. And what I've seen from so many people is that they sometimes don't really know who they are, or, are a little afraid of what they know about themselves and that’s a natural feeling - so don’t feel bad if you find out things about yourself that you don’t like or you’re a little afraid of it. I am here to tell you that being different and doing things differently is one of the many great things that you can do for yourself, and for those people who are closest to you because they’re actually the one’s who reap the benefits of who you are - whether it’s good or bad. Now, I'm not talkin' about being the weird kind of different that people will be turned off by. I'm just talking about being you, which is different. There is only one “you”, one of you on this planet, there is no one else like you. So, when you become comfortable with being different, then doing things differently becomes a breeze! You'll start to notice that things start to get better in your life. Now I know that this idea is not easy for a lot of people, but, I do know that it’s well worth it. One thing that you can do today to start to do things differently is: ~Decide that this is what you want to do and commit to know that this is going to be a fantastic thing for you. There are so many benefits of doing things differently. I just want to let you know that I love the fact that I do things differently than a lot of other people that I know. I'm not afraid of it. If a thought or idea that comes to me, then I go with the flow. It has helped me in so many ways that it's impossible to really mention it all, right here. I want to talk more about the benefits of doing things differently in your life and maybe you can see what I mean. One of the benefits is: ~You start to feel like you’re special, and this is great if you don’t already feel like that. Now, I'm not sure if you have even thought about feeling like you're special or that you even care to feel like that. But, I will say that when you start to care about how you feel about yourself, everyone around you will start to notice and even make a comment or two. I want to challenge you to start thinking about that. Another benefit: ~Your sense of awareness becomes greater because you're not focusing on trying to be or become like someone else. Greater awareness is always a good thing that's for sure. Who wouldn't want to notice things around us that can benefit us, or those that we care about. It's when we are paying attention that we can enjoy the benefits of that newfound sense of awareness. So, basically, it’s all about awareness of you and your surroundings and the benefits will definitely be different for everyone, so you won’t really know until you try it out. One more benefit: ~You'll find that your level of confidence starts to grow. You know something very interesting that I've noticed for many years now, is that as peoples' confidence level starts to grow they start to realize that they aren't so: dumb, stupid, unworthy, ridiculous, foolish, or … (you fill in the blank). You start to have a lot of small little accomplishments that lead you straight to a higher level of confidence as you keep plugging away and doing these things a little differently (like in your own special way). If you keep at it every day, you’ll start to notice your confidence starting to grow and who wouldn’t want to be confident, right! I know that all of these things do take time and it will take time. This is not something that happens overnight (unfortunately, sometimes I wish it did) but I want to encourage you to hang in there, keep going, keep moving forward in the pursuit of 'being who you really are” doing things differently. We’re all striving to be happy. If you do things differently in your life (and you could incorporate this into all areas of your life) it doesn’t have to be only one specific thing or one specific way, just start off by focusing on one area and think about how you can do something different - even starting right now. Write it down, I always talk about pencil and paper. Write things down. Just jot down an idea or two that you might have about what you could do differently in your life, it really will have a big impact on your life but you’ll never know until you get started. You will definitely reap all of the benefits that are waiting for you when you do things differently and find out who you really are. I want you to start today, I’m cheering for you! (Rah! Rah!) I want to be in your corner and cheer you on and if you need my help, I would love for you to connect with me at aloha@janinjohnston.com I would love for you to share this podcast with other people that you know who you think would be able to benefit from the things that I’m sharing. All the things that I share are all the things that I’ve learned and gone through in my life and learned by experience and so please share this message with other people, you’ll be amazed at how it could really help someone when you didn’t think it could. So let them know. I would appreciate it if you would go to Apple Podcasts and give me an honest rating and an honest review, I would really appreciate that and it lets me know what you folks are liking and not liking and if you think it’s of value. I only want to share value, I don’t want to share anything that’s not worth your time because it wouldn’t benefit me or you! I would love to help you in your pursuit of Doing Things Differently In Your Life. I thank you so much, I really appreciate you being here because there are so many things to do and life is busy and I’m thankful that you chose this podcast. I want to send out some wonderful Hawaiian sunshine to all of you. It really makes my day to know that I’m helping other people out there and enriching their lives, to help them to grow and learn and have a much more fulfilling life.

I want to share with all of you about Not Looking Back:
Unfortunately It’s something that we all do...a lot! I, myself
have caught myself looking back at all the things that I’ve
done in my life that was either - wrong, crazy, hurtful and
way to much more that I don’t even really want to think
about. A number of years ago I realized that I had a tendency
to always look back at the negative things instead of the
positive things that I did. Why do we do that? We tend to
always look back at the negative and not the positive.
We’re all growing and learning were here on earth to learn and
grow, we’re not perfect. So, that’s why sometimes we do those
crazy things like looking back at the negative instead of trying
to find out what was really good to and think about all those
good things we did.
Now, looking back on the negative is only a good thing when
you going to try and learn from it, when you’re going to try and
make better choices and maybe change direction in your life
and really be on a good path and maybe even trying to change
your behavior or anything like that.
But, it’s really not a good idea to look back at the negative and
then torture yourself about the bad things that you’ve done, and
it’s just a natural human tendency that we have. We’re not taught
as little kids to look back the things that didn’t go right or the
things that we’ve done wrong and try to learn from it.
I think they need to teach all these things in school, even as
early as elementary. What do you think? Let me know.
What impact it’s having on our lives when we think about all
the negative things, or just the whole idea of looking back at
the negative is kind of scary.
So, what impact is it having on your life, let me ask you that.
So think back at the last time you looked back at your past
and depending on how old you are, you can have many, many
years on things that you’ve done that maybe you wish you
could change.
Of course we can’t wish and we can’t change the past, but
think about things that you’ve thought about recently that
you’ve done in the past and it was really negative, and then
it just got you down thinking about it because, that’s one of
the things that looking at your negative past does to you - if
you’re not using it to help correct your life now and you’re just
trying to beat yourself up about all the bad things that you’ve
done.
When was the last time you thought about that and what did
it do to you?
Did it put you in a state of depression?
Did it just want to make you eat sugar?
Did it just want to make you scream?
Think back to when the last time it was, it could have been
today, it could have been last month, who know! We have so
many thoughts that go through our head every day that it’s
just amazing.
Each podcast I always say “write everything down, get it out
of your head”, by now I hope that you actually have written
things down. Maybe you bought a notebook or created your
own. Write it down, it has such an amazing effect when you
physically write it on paper verses on your computer or smart
phone.
I’ve talked about this many times in my different episodes.
But think about it, write it down - what was the last thing that
you thought about that was negative and when was it. Think
about how you could actually turn that around and make it so
that it could actually help you in your life verses just using it
to torture yourself, because that really doesn’t help you or
anyone around you.
Because when you start to get depressed or frustrated, we
tend to take it out on the people that are the closest to us -
our family and even sometimes friends or if you work. If you
have a job around a lot of other people and somebody’s irritating
you, you might just want to take out your irritation on them.
Think about that, what is that thing that you keep thinking about?
A lot of times it’s just a couple of things, sometimes we don’t
think about the many, many things we did, but somethings
there’s a couple things that we tend to torture ourselves with.
I know because I’ve actually done that, I’ve realized that it was
usually just a couple of things that I used to torture myself with -
thinking about how stupid it was, why did I do that it made no sense.
Who knows what else, I don’t even want to remember the
thoughts that I was thinking at the time.
What you have to remember is that we’re human and we have
to learn all these things, nobody teaches us these things when
we were little.
So, if you’ve never been taught how to do certain things, now’s
a good time to start taking notes.
I always encourage people to listen to these episodes more
than once because you can always learn something new when
you listen to each episode more then one time, because there’s
so much content involved and so many things that I’m talking
about.
So, start by writing things out and just go back in your mind.
If it’s to hard, then maybe you have to work yourself up to
thinking about it instead of just trying to go back there in your
mind.
Sometimes if you think about it, when you actually can get it
out of your head - get it out of your thoughts, it’s easier to let
it go. We like to hold on to every good and bad.
It’s not really healthy for us to hold on everything that’s not
working for us. It’s a good start, it’s a good practice to have -
to write everything out.
It starts the process of you recognizing it and then eventually
you’ll have the ability to let it go. Well, you actually have to
want to let it go first before you can let it go.
I would say, after you get it out on paper think about why you
were even thinking about that because sometimes when you’re
doing something, there’s always a trigger somewhere. When
you’re doing something or you’re in a location or you’re around
certain people, there’s those triggers that pop into your head
and reminds you of the past of those negative things that you’ve
done. Sometimes it’s a place or a person that is the cause of
this, we have to take responsibility ourselves for inappropriate
actions.
Sometimes if there’s another person involved, it could be the
other person just making you crazy and who knows you could
have said something really horrible or if that person was irritating
you, you could have just snapped and said something that really
you shouldn’t have that really hurt that other person.
Who knows, there’s endless possibilities of things that could
have happened. Catch yourself too, as you go about your daily
life, really catch yourself in everything that you do. Think about
the things that you say and the places that you go, think about
what you’re doing and if you’re starting to say something that
you know you’re going to regret! Then try to catch yourself and
stop yourself from saying something that could be really harmful
to somebody else and the more you practice that, the easier it
becomes to start catching yourself.
Of course, it is a little bit of work, but once you get that habit
going - always thinking about what you’re going to say first.
It really will make a big difference.
I’m one of those, that I like to speak my mind so sometimes I
don’t think about what I’m saying, I just open my mouth and I
realize that I shouldn’t have said that. Now I really try to work
on thinking about what I’m going to say first. I’ve been to places
where I’ve said things and then I thought “oh” and if my husband
was with me, he would tell me later “why did you say that!” I
would just be in a state of shock like “oh, yah I don’t know why
I said that” and of course he’s either embarrassed or he’s just
confused as to why I say the things I say.
Sometimes we do that to our spouses, (but not on purpose)
It’s a give and take right! ;)
I just want to encourage you to try and catch yourself whenever
you’re going throughout your day and sometimes it doesn’t
even involve anybody else when you do things that really are
negative and sometimes it’s just you. It’s O.K., just know t
hat you’re human and you’re just like everybody else who’s
trying to work through this life and learn and grow to become
a better person.
If you can just start with these few things, it will really make you
feel good. I didn’t realize how good it made me feel when I
realized a while back that I was doing this crazy thing on just
torturing myself about all the negative things that I’ve ever done
in the past and it really was eye-opening and now I’m so glad
that I recognized it and I’m trying to work on not torturing myself.
I’ve come a long way, it’s taken a while. I don’t want to feel yucky
like that anymore and sometimes there’s no better word to use
then yucky, because yucky is just kind of a mishmash of a whole
bunch of feelings. You just get tired after a while of feeling yucky
and you just don’t want it anymore. You got to figure out why
you’re feeling yucky and one of the things that make you feel
like that is just looking back on all this negativity.
Try and make it an effort, you might even want to make it a
practice every day to start looking at all the positive things that
you’ve ever done, the people’s lives that you’ve impacted the
things that you’ve accomplished or anything that’s good.
Start cheering for yourself, start celebrating the wonderful things
that you’ve done. Celebrating yourself, it doesn’t have to be
this big celebration that’s not what I’m talking about, but of
course you can do that if you want.
Just celebrate with yourself or with a friend or your family or
anybody. Go out and get a snack or go get a bite to eat and
just celebrate and talk about the positive and you’ll be really
amazed at what a difference it will make and how you’ll feel.
I really encourage you to take this step forward because this
kind of looking back stuff really prevents you from moving
forward in your life. It’s really hard to overcome things and
accomplish great things and great things are different to
everybody, but it’s really difficult when you’re constantly
looking back at the negative.
Try and NOT look back and try to work towards focusing on
the positive.
I promise you, you’ll be really happy and might even feel some
excitement that “hey, I can do this”.
Again I would ask you to please share this podcast with anybody
who you think would get great value out of it, maybe you know
somebody struggling with something that maybe listening to
any of these episodes will help them.
I thank you again for listening I really appreciate you being here
and I hope you have a fantastic day.

I want to talk to you about service.
What comes to your mind when you hear that word?
I’m talking about the kind of service that you would render to someone.
Service brings all kinds of thoughts to our minds. Sometimes people
haven’t had the best experience with service and some people haven’t
had any experience serving.
Everything that we do has some kind of impact on other people’s lives,
whether you’re working at your job, or in a community.
Let me ask you another question. Have you ever been a recipient of
someone doing service for you or to you?
Serving someone if one of the greatest things you could ever do in your
life and I can say that because I have experienced it, I have talked to many,
many people who give service and have received service. I have found
that serving other people is not something most people think about on a
daily basis.
Now, I’m not talking about the kind of service that you sacrifice your health,
family or anything like that. That’s why the word service scares people
because that’s what they think will happen; if you serve in any capacity
you’re going to have to sacrifice those things. But...I’m talking about
the kind of service that would help, uplift, make a difference in someone’s
life. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant or extreme that’s not what
I’m talking about.
There’s not enough talk about being of service. I know it’s because people
are so consumed with their own life that it’s hard to think about being of
service to others and that’s a natural feeling, that’s how things are now
and everyone is really busy.
Everywhere you go, you see people rushing around, rushing to and from
work, rushing to take their kids to school and then to their extra-curricular
activities and sports practices. Rushing home to make dinner. It’s really
hard sometimes to be of service when you’re doing all these things for
your family.
I get that because I’ve been there too. My kids were young at one point
and I was driving them all over the place. But there needs to be more
talk of service and there needs to be more “doing” of service as well,
you can’t just talk about it, you actually have to do it and experience it.
There’s something that you really get when you serve somebody and
it’s not even something that somebody can explain to you how that
feeling is when you give service.
I want to give you one small example of service from my Grandmother,
this is what I witnessed growing up that she did. She was the greatest
example of someone giving unconditional service and unconditional
love, and kindness and caring.
When I was little, my Grandmother used to take one of her cousin to
work and he worked at the University Of Hawaii, and I live here in Hawaii.
She lived only about 10 to 15 minutes away from the University and he
worked there in the maintenance department and he wasn’t able to drive.
He lived with his siblings and parents, which was only a few minutes away
from my Grandmother, so she would go every night - because he worked
in the evenings and pick him up, take him to the University so that he could
go to work and then she would go and pick him up from work and take him
home.
I was blessed and lucky enough that I used to go with her a lot when she
used to pick him up and drop him off to work, I was a really little girl - I don’t
even remember how old I was when I used to go with her. I know I was
in early elementary and maybe even younger, so you’re talking a long time
ago(that’s beside the point!). I always remember sitting beside her in the
car and it was always fun to be with my Grandmother anyway and I still
think about that till this day.
I don’t remember how many years she did that. She is no longer here
and she passed away about 11 years ago. She was my greatest example
of just doing things that would help somebody, something so small and in
her eyes it was no big deal, but I’ve witnessed what a great impact it had
on her cousin and his family because his family members didn’t drive either.
I’m just in awe of someone giving up that much time, now I don’t know-how
many days of the week she did that or any of that, I didn’t keep track and
I know that she did that for many, many years.
But I still think to myself about how amazing that was, where she never
complained, she just did it because she knew he couldn’t drive and I knew
there were times when he caught the bus as well. There were many, many
times and years that she picked him up.
The kind of service that I’m talking about can be something like that if you
do have the time and you do have the resources to go and do that. But
service doesn’t have to be that big, it doesn’t have to be where you pick
somebody up all the time and take them somewhere, it could be taking a
meal to the if you know they’re sick or not feeling good or if somebody
just had a baby you could go and take a meal and just be of service - it’s
amazing, the feeling that you’ll get.
Because I’ve had this great example all my life from my Grandmother, I’ve
done those things myself just naturally without even thinking about it, and
I’m so grateful that I had that example because I don’t think I would be doing
or have done any of the things I’ve done to give of myself and to give service
to people that need it. Sometimes we think that we don’t have time and it’s
such a hassle, but if you actually make your first attempt if you’ve never,
ever given service to anyone, I would definitely encourage you to try it at least
one time.
If you know somebody that needs a meal, if they’re having a rough time
going through some kind of really stressful event that happened in their
life or a death in the family - go and take them a meal, just drop it off and
let them know that you’re thinking about them.
It’s just so amazing and like I said earlier, I was a recipient of people doing
service for me as well, like when I’ve had my children I had many wonderful
friends bring meals for me and my family when I got out of the hospital and
just little things like that and another friend who offered to take my other
children to school because I had just gotten home from the hospital after
having another baby.
It really makes you feel like everything is going to be O.K. because sometimes
you go through life and you just wonder… are you doing to make it? You
have times where you feel like… I just feel like doing this anymore! Or you’re
frustrated and you have no idea how you’re going to get over that frustration.
Life is hard sometime, sometimes it can be harder than others and so you’ll
never know what kind of difference you’ll make in somebody’s life.
I’ve actually had people tell me so many times - “thank you so much what
you did it really made my day, I just was having a hard day.” I’ve done so
many things over the years and people have thanked me before and I didn’t
really keep track of those thank you’s because it just makes me feel good,
so it’s not something that I needed to write down.
But those things and those feelings and gratitude from other people never
leave you, it just makes you feel really good and it makes you actually want
to give more service as often as possible. This is something that I think we
need more of and I think it’s something that we need to do more often and
the reason that I say that is that we’re so caught up in our own lives, and it’s
really difficult to think about other people when we’re stressed out and some-
times we think that if we have an idea of doing something nice for somebody,
sometimes you’ll have a thought “oh, they don’t need it they’re fine”, “they’re
tough” or “they’re a really strong family” or “that person’s really strong they’ll
survive”.
We have thoughts in our head that we think that when we have that little
thought come into our mind about “oh, maybe I should ask them to see if
they need anything”.
Sometime the automatic response and thought that you would have is “oh,
they probably wouldn’t want anything from me anyway”, you might even
have thoughts of like “well, why would they even want anything from me?”
We always think that so many other people are better than we are and
they don’t need anything from us or they have more money than we do so
they can buy whatever they need, but that’s not always the case. Even
people that do have more money than you, still need service and love
and compassion from others because money doesn’t buy happiness -
money just gives you more options. Money gives you more opportunities
and things like that, but the true source of happiness really comes from
service and giving and sometimes I think we need to give more than we
take.
I’m talking from experience, I’ve had moments years and years ago where
I don’t think I was serving very much - I was trying to take as much as possible
from others, not in a bad way but because I had things going on or life was
stressful at the time. So now I feel like I want to make up for all of that taking
that I did, but sometimes we do need to take but we need to view it as receiving
verses taking because when you receive, it’s a very different emotion and thought
and a way of living versus just taking. Taking, is all about just what’s in it for you,
but receiving is allowing the other person to feel good as well as - me feeling good
for the gift that somebody else is giving me and in the gift of service.
So, think about that for awhile. I really hope that you have a desire to serve, and
like I said if you’ve never served or done anything like that - I really encourage you
to try it at least once.
I would really love for you to tell me what kind of service you’ve done and any of
you that are listening, I would love for you to share with me some of the things
that you’ve done as a service or some of the things that you’ve received when
someone has given service to you. It doesn’t have to be anything major, some-
times we think our stories are not significant, but you’ll be amazed at how significant
they really are.
I would love for you to connect with me at janin@fashionablefinance.com and
even if you have a comment too, I would love your comments and if you have
anything else that you would like me to talk about and create another episode,
I would love for you to share that with me.
Please share this podcast too with other people that you know who you think
would be able to benefit from the things that I’m sharing. All the things that
I share is always the things that I’ve learned and gone through in my life and
learned by experience and so please share this message with other people,
you’ll be amazed at how it could really help someone when you didn’t think
it could. So let them know where they can listen to this recording, they can
go to iTunes and they can search for Fashionable Finance or they can go to
my website at fashionablefinance.com and it’s right there on my website, you
can listen to it as well over there.
I would appreciate it if you would go to iTunes and give me an honest rating
and an honest review, I would really appreciate that and it lets me know what
you folks are liking and not liking and what you think is of value. I only want
to share value, I don’t want to share anything that’s not worth your time.
I want to sum it up by saying that service is one of the greatest things that
you could ever do in your life and I know that for sure because I’ve witnessed
it and I’ve done it myself and I’ve been the recipient of service as well. I know
the countless number of other people who have been the recipient as well
and they’ve shared with me the blessings and relief that it’s brought to them.
Get creative and think about what is one neat thing that you could do for some-
body and it doesn’t have to be a meal, it doesn’t have to be anything extravagant -
you can even pick up the phone if haven’t talked to somebody in a really long time,
let them know that you were thinking about them and how they’re doing and just
wanting to know if everything is O.K. It could be something as simple as writing a
card to let them know that you’re thinking about them if you don’t want to call.
There’s so many ways that you could give of service and even though writing a
card and calling somebody on the phone may not seem like a service but… it is!
Trust me, I’ve heard from many people who have felt like it was such a great service
to them.
Brainstorm on paper, remember I always say “write everything down, get everything
out of your head and on to paper” Just jot down a few ideas that you might have
on what kind of service that you could offer to someone. It will make you feel good
and it will help you sleep really good at night.
I thank you so much, I really appreciate you being here and listening to this episode
and listening to me, I want to send out some wonderful Hawaiian sunshine to all of
you listening out there and I appreciate any new listeners that we have.
**I want to thank you.

Women usually have a plan for something that they
really want and sometimes they don't even realize
that they've made a plan because it's been something
that they do naturally and have been doing it for so long,
that they don't feel the need to have it written out.
Sometimes I think that as little girls we have this natural
ability to see what we want, figure out a way to get it
(a plan) and then go for it - no matter what.
Have you ever watched a little girl playing house, having
a tea party or doll dress up? If you have, you probably
have witnessed that little girl in action: setting things up,
organizing everything and telling her playmates what to do
and, what not to do (some might call it being bossy). I think it's pretty funny, her playmates are at her mercy.
Isn't that how it is as grown women, we continue that
same pattern just like when we were little. The only difference
is that we have a lot more people that are in our life to organize (boss around).
Even though that might come easy and written plans are
not required, sometimes having a plan for something
specific and more elaborate requires that it be written
out on paper in order for it to be accomplished.
For example, these are some things that require you to have
a written plan.
*Managing your finances
*Going to college - how much is it going to cost?
*Where you're going to live - how much can you afford to
pay per month for rent or mortgage?
*Getting married
*Buying a car through financing
*Traveling - taking a trip to Italy
*Growing your spirituality
*Taking care of your health (yes, you need a plan for that!)
The list can be endless, everyone is so different in what they
want and how they want to live their life.
I want to say to all of you women out there, start making plans for your life that will get you excited. Be a woman with a plan!
There's something amazing that happens when you actually write out or draw out what you want on paper.
It's so different than keeping it all in your head or doing
it digitally.
I've witnessed some amazing things as I've taught students
how to get their ideas out of their head, how to use their imagination and creativity in all different ways, and all of
it was done with physical objects, not a computer.
My former students have experienced a great deal of satisfaction, amazement within themselves, a sense of accomplishment, and the confidence that they can do
things that may seem hard.
I have a fun suggestion - get some colored pens, pencils, paints
of some kind, crayons, oil pastels, or anything else that is colorful of your choice, and just start writing or drawing a plan for what
you want. You can choose whatever kind of paper you want.
This is your plan and you can create it any way you want!
Colors have a way of activating the imagination and creativity.
Who says that a plan has to be on a plain sheet of paper, written with a black ink pen?
You're more likely to have success with your plan when it's on
paper versus it being stuck in your head.
Plan! (with colors) You will be happy that you did.
If you need help with planning or creating a plan for something you have in your heart, let me know. I will
be more than happy to help you.

I share with you the10 questions you need to include in the conversation you have with yourself everyday.
The person we have a conversation with the most every single day is ourselves.
You may not have even realized it until now, but if you just take a moment to think about all the things that you think about every day of your life, you’ll come to realize that most of it were talking to yourself, also known as: conversations with yourself.
It’s pretty amazing when you think about it, that we have these conversations all day long and I wonder how in the world can we do that when we have so many things going on.
These conversations actually do one of two things: they either help us or hurt us. And this is what I mean, it so easy for us to say negative things to ourselves when we feel like we’re not smart enough or when we compare ourselves to other people and much more. By doing that and saying these negative things to ourselves, it really has such a hurtful effect on your mind, body and spirit.
Now when on an occasion or two we say good things to ourselves, then it helps our happy hormones to feel good and leads us to feel happiness and joy. That also makes our mind, body, and spirt happy too, and we want to feel happiness and joy right?
I would love for you to start having great conversations with yourself as soon as possible. You’re definitely worth it and I hope that you know know that you’re worth it.
I have a list of 10 questions that I put together for you to use everyday.
Start each day by reviewing all of these questions so that it can eventually become cemented in your mind, which will lead to you automatically asking yourself these questions on a daily basis.
It’s a pretty neat thing to have that happen.
Many years ago I started to ask myself these questions and many more all the time. It’s amazing what you start to realize when you do this every day.
These are the questions:
-
How can I make it important to consider and honor my own needs?
-
What is it going to take for me to start speaking the truth to myself, because truth is powerful?
-
How am I going to know of my self-worth which is priceless?
-
How can I let go of any fear that I have?
-
Do I have things that I doubt? And if I do how do I let it go of that doubt?
-
How do I let go of any shame that I feel?
-
What value do I bring to my life and to those that are in my life?
-
What is it going to take for me to feel joy every day?
-
Do I know that creativity is something that is already inside
of me, not outside of me? -
What do I need to do to be the creator of my success?
Now, you don’t have to ask yourself these questions in the order that I have them listed because it’s not the order in which you ask these questions, but it’s the nature of the questions themselves.
These are really powerful questions and to be asking yourself
about these
things will have such a powerful effect on you and your life. I can promise you that. I have done it myself for years and I can tell you that it has had such a great and powerful impact on me and how I live my life. I know that I have become a much better person in how I do things, the way I live my life, and much more. I’m not saying that I have it all figured out or I’m perfect because I don’t have it all figured out and I know I’m far from perfect.
I just feel better mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and I would love for you to feel all of that too.
Like I always say, write things down, get it out of your head and on to paper.
Writing things down has power. It’s amazing what happens when you actually read your own writing. As much as possible I recommend writing things down on paper with a writing instrument of some kind instead of typing it out on your phone or computer.
I invite you to try this out for 7 days and see how you feel after just
a week of asking yourself these powerful questions. You will be glad you did.
Please send me an email at aloha@janinjohnston.com and let me know if you’ve tried this exercise and how it worked for you. I
would really love to hear from you. I welcome any questions that you might have as well.

Have you ever had a time in your life where things were so
stressful and there was a lot going on? Are you going through
it now?
Because life throws curve balls at you and you may not be
prepared or feel like you’re ready to take on those curve
balls, that you just feel like screaming or maybe even crying!
Curveballs a.k.a.: a flat tire or a car accident on the freeway
and now you’re going to be 30 minutes late to work or an
appointment, or as soon as you get to work you get a phone
call from your child’s school that he or she is feeling sick and
you need to pick him or her up as soon as possible, or you
get home from work and somebody in your family reminds you
that you signed up to bring snacks to a school or committee
meeting that night, or how about all of these things happening
in one day!
At this point you’re thinking no way…this cannot be happening!
And you start to wonder if you can make it through the rest of
the day.
This is just an example of a few of the many endless things
that have happened to me and many other people that I know.
I’m sure you can relate as you are reading this.
With life being so busy and moving fast, sometimes the only
thing you can do it make it through the day and not worry about
tomorrow or the future.
I want to let you know that you’re not alone, life likes to keep you
on your toes which at times can seem relentless. It seems like the
light at the end of the tunnel is not even in your view or you don’t
even have the energy to dream of the light.
When these things are happening, have you ever had the thought
of “I just want to get on an airplane and fly off somewhere where
nobody can find me”. Well, I have had that thought many, many
times. Although it’s never happened…I’ve never gotten on an
airplane and flew off to somewhere far away when life was
throwing me curveballs.
It’s a great thought though, don’t you think?
Sometimes the frustration level is so high that you just feel like
you just can’t deal with all the stress that’s happening in one day.
Well, looking back at those times of dealing with the curveballs
I realize that on quite a few occasions, it was because of my
lack of planning and preparation. Of course, I’m talking about things that I had control over, like having the snack ready ahead
of time and things like that. Obviously, I have no control over a
flat tire, a car accident on the freeway or my child getting sick at school.
But I do have control over other little things that I can put in place
and prepare for.
Hindsight is always great because it means that you are willing
to see and learn from all the things that didn’t work in the past.
It’s also really important to realize that you can’t change the past.
It’s really easy to blame everyone and everything else instead of
just accepting what happened and realize that sometimes there’s
nothing that you can do or could have done in certain situations.
Women, in general, are so hard on themselves when things happen
and go in a direction that created pain or stress, that they start
saying things to themselves that are very emotionally, mentally, and
spiritually harmful.
There is nothing that is worth that kind of pain to your emotions, your mind, or your spirit.
It really is OK to want to just make it through the day and nothing
more. Just remember to breathe…
If and when you have curveballs coming at you, just remember that
you are only going to be better for having gone through it.
Here are 4 things I suggest that you do:
-
Set a specific day and time each week to go over your life and
what is going on during the coming week. -
Jot down on a paper calendar or your digital calendar, as many
notes as possible about what’s happening on each day and what
you need to do for each thing. -
Let everyone know that is involved in your activities.
-
Look at your calendar multiple times a day. You’ll be amazed
at how easy it is to forget what you put in the calendar.
It may sound a little too simple, but it really is powerful in helping
you deal with any curveballs.
Just trying to make it through the day is better than just giving up and throwing in the towel and not dealing with the curveballs in a positive way.

NEVER EVER go to the store without a shopping list of some kind,
whether it's written on paper or on your phone, and try to limit the
number of times you go to the store. Here's why...
1. As soon as you walk in the door you forget what you
needed to get in the first place.
2. There's a whole marketing psychology on shoppers
that the stores use to make everything you see very
appealing and makes you want to buy it.
(I know because I used to work in retail)
So.... that leads me to the 3rd reason...
3. You don't buy what you actually came to the store for.
4. You end up buying things that you don't really need.
5. You spend way more money than you can afford. And,
a lot of times using credit to make the purchase!
Everything listed above is from experience. So a few years ago what I decided to do was to make sure that before I went to any store that I would write down on a piece of paper the exact thing
or things that I needed. I still do that to this day. I make sure that
I write my list with a bright-colored pen making the words a little larger than usual - it's as if the bright words are reminding me of what I really need.
Now, I'm not perfect. I have moments that I just feel like I don't want to write
a list and I go… and I shop … and I buy things that I don't really need. But, I learn very quickly that I should have made a list!
If this happens to you, don't worry the main thing is that you
get back to doing the things that work, like writing a shopping
list on paper or in your phone - whichever works best for you.
Try it out this weekend and see what happens. Better yet,
try it out for 7 days.

Aloha, in this episode I talk about shame.
I referenced episode #011 on Fear and episode #012 on Doubt.
Fear, Doubt, and Shame are the three main things that women
suffer from.
Shame is a painful emotion that we need to talk about, woman
want to just hide it under the rug, but I don’t want that for you.
We need to figure out how to get rid of these feelings that are
not serving us.
There’s no room in our lives for fear, doubt, and shame.
Growing up, have you ever had an adult say to you “shame on you”? If you did, said, or behaved in a certain way?
We don’t think about how it’s going to affect our kids when we say those things to them.
Everything that goes on in our lives shapes who we are and who we become
and the feelings we have. We take things on.
We need to work on letting go:
First - acknowledge that you have shame within yourself.
Shame will look different for everyone - some people have shame about how they look, shame of being in public, or speaking up, there are so many because we are all so different.
You can quiet down those feelings and let it go by understanding how it affects you in your daily life, being ashamed about so many things prevents you from achieving the things that you want or prevents you from moving forward on things.
The only way to accomplish things is to get out of our comfort zone and do the things that are scary and do the things that you feel are shameful even though they may not be.
I will always tell you to write things down on paper, writing with a physical instrument will make a big difference. Write everything down that you can remember about the shame that you’re feeling when it started, why you think you have this kind of shame
even though it might be scary, but in the end, you’ll be glad you did.
Get it out of your head so that you can work on letting it go.
This will help you move forward in the right direction. Holding on to the shame that you have inside of you is not helping you at all.
Denial is also a really big enemy.
We have to have the good and the bad in our life, there’s no way that everything can always be good. We have to have the bad so that we can appreciate the good -
opposition helps us to grow and overcome those things, that’s how God intended life to be.
Don’t be hard on yourself and get yourself down, it is possible to overcome all of these things. It may take a little time because you’ve probably had these feelings for a really long time. It’s amazing how long someone can hold on to feelings of fear, doubt, and shame.
Change is really hard and can be scary, but the more you experience change - you start to realize that “hey it’s not so bad after all”.
Letting go could mean the unknown, what’s on the other end. If we let go of something,
you'll feel much better and feel different.
Letting go will feel much better than holding on to the shame and other feelings that are negative that aren’t helping you.
Sometimes it's better to get some help with understanding and figuring out these things, so if you would like my help you can email me at aloha@janinjohnston.com we can see if there’s any way that we can work together. I’m here to support and guide you in a way that would be best for you.
If you know anyone who is suffering from shame, then have them listen to this podcast and share with them what you’re learning, it’s always good to help other people.
Women love to talk with other women and discuss the problems of their day, so how about you talk with each other about this subject of SHAME.
It always feels good when you help somebody that you care about, so I encourage you to share this podcast with the people that you know.
Shame affects our lives by making us feel like we're not good enough, shame has so many different faces. If you don’t feel like you’re good enough to do very many
things, then you just go through life living the same-old, same-old not wanting to stretch yourself or to make improvements or to work towards a dream or goal that you have.
You are worth your dreams and it's worth going towards your
goals, we all have dreams and goals.
We let life get in the way because we aren’t paying attention to those things that are really important and shame seems to get in our way.
It pops up and gets in our face and makes you feel like you can’t
do it or you’re not worth it.
If you’re feeling uncomfortable, it’s OK, the feeling should pass, it won’t stay with you forever. Feel those feelings because if you try to ignore it that's when shame pops up in your face, and you’re not going to know what it is or how to deal with it.
It’s so important to know how to recognize it.
You’re worth it, you’re worth the time it takes to get out of the denial and face your shame and admit that you have it so you
can overcome it.
Good and bad words have power whether we realize it or not, everything you hear and say affects you emotionally, mentally, spiritually. So if you ever hear someone that you know say
“shame on you” please encourage them to not say that.
If you can learn to speak up and start to recognize these things
and be vocal about it will be so much more powerful in helping move you forward in overcoming this shame.
Fear, doubt, and shame hold you and keeps you down and makes you crazy because you just don’t understand why it’s there or why doesn’t it just go away.
I hope you are enjoying listening to this podcast!

I think a lot about all of you listeners every day and what I can share with you, and to share the things that I’ve learned and the experiences that I had. I want to talk about Doubt-It Doesn’t Have To Be!
I have met so many people who suffer from doubt, we have so much that we doubt in our daily lives.
I wanted to see the dictionary’s definition of ‘doubt’ and it says:
to be uncertain about, to consider questionable or unlikely, hesitate to believe, to distrust, to fear, to be apprehensive about, to be uncertain about something to be undecided in opinion or belief.
How many of you have a lot of doubt within you? Fear and doubt have a strong connection.
Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and they say to you “I doubt it” without even doing the research and finding out if something is true or not?
Have you ever questioned your doubt?
You should always doubt the doubt before we just accept it.
Women suffer from Fear, Doubt and Shame.
What do you doubt in your life? Doubt comes from different places just like fear.
Doubt really stops us from achieving a lot of things and has us feeling like we can’t move forward. It also prevents us from feeling joy and creating.
Writing everything down on paper about your doubt is a great way to figure out what is it that you’ve been doubting all these years. Write down whatever’s going on in your life. Write down if it’s a person that your doubting, is it a place your at right now or is it a thing in your life that you’re doubting. Take the time to figure out what your doubts are.
We have to have trials and struggles in life, that’s how we can learn and grow and to gain knowledge to be able to overcome our weaknesses, that’s how God created life to be.
There is a doubt that you have that is preventing you from overcoming a lot of things or achieving your goals.
Question the doubts.
Everyone I know has conversations in their mind, so why not have a conversation with yourself about figuring out what your doubts are and how to overcome them. Work it out in your mind.
We all have strengths and weaknesses.
If you need help with figuring out what you’re having doubts about, I will be happy to help you, send me an email at aloha@janinjohnston.com.
Doubt is a big killer of joy and creativity. Creativity is not limited to drawing and painting, everything we do every day is creative and we're always creating.
I love people, I think people are really fascinating and we all need each other. There’s so much we as women have to offer so many people, that’s why we need to let go of the doubt.

Aloha, in this episode I talk about the dreaded topic of
FEAR!
Fear is everywhere, it so pervasive.
Fear shows its ugly self in so many different ways and starts in childhood at such a tender age.
Everything we learn for the first few years of our lives is from our parents, grandparent, or aunts & uncles that raise us and it will look different for everyone.
We're here to gain knowledge, to grow and learn and to experience things, and to prepare to live in the eternities with God.
One of the steps you need to take to overcome your fear is to be creative. Being creative allows you to be in that space of “what’s possible” because being in that space of fear shuts you down.
Everyone on this planet is given that gift of creativity from God.
It’s amazing how creative we are, it's possible to be creative every day and have joy, you just have to want these things.
Everybody has their own interest in the creative space, so take the time to find that creative gift that’s in you. Once you get on that path, you will be amazed at yourself.
It’s good to have somebody to work out your fears with and go step by step to figure out what’s going on, maybe the other person you’re working with will have an idea of how you can overcome your fear. You don’t know what you don’t know.
It’s not worth it to give in to that fear, why would you want to give into something that is having such a negative effect on your life.
I want to encourage you with every fiber of my being to take these steps to overcome fear, we all have so much to give, and there's so much that we can enjoy here in this lifetime.
Life doesn’t have to be terrible or fearful, it is possible to let it go.
Your life is so worth it!
I want to encourage you to face it, overcome it, and let it go. It may take a little time because things worthwhile are worth doing.
I would love to talk with you and help you figure out how to overcome your fear.

Have you everwondered if your finances were controlling you? In this episode, I talk about why you need to get control of your finances, some of the ways in which to do that and how you are affected by not having the necessary control of money coming in and money going out each month. What women think about their finances:It’s a humbug, they don’t like to manage it, they don’t like to think about it, deal with it, it's boring or stresses them out. Your finances involves: Rent or mortgage, electric, water, cell phone, food, gas and more. You need to have a system in place: Need to write things down, get a notebook, take 15 minutes, write down all the bills you have, set up a system that works for you, and set up bill paying to be deducted automatically from a checking account. Need to control what money you have: Have a strong desire to overcome and to get a system set up, if you need help, ask!, it’s good to have support. Women want freedom: To do the things we want to do and women like to have control. Finances do control you if you don’t have a system set up and don’t have a flow. This topic is not interesting to talk about, that’s why having a system setup can help you feel at ease and not stress out about paying bills, because sometimes you may not be sure if there’s enough money to pay your bills. What about you? Everything is connected: Take a good look at yourself, what do you see? Write down what’s going on in your life, how you're feeling, be honest with yourself. To make sure you’re on track and to create a habit that will help you start controlling things in the right way, you have to start somewhere. Try this: just take a few minutes everyday and write things down, take small steps, write down how much income is coming in each month, spend a few minutes everyday taking care of your finances. You can’t live without money: everyday it takes money for us to live and everyday you’re spending money. It’s ok to talk about your finances, don’t be ashamed. That’s why my business name is fashionable finance, the word ‘fashionable’ is meant to be used in a way that refers to your finances as being OK to talk about it. My goal is for you to learn all the things you need to l earn on the go because we’re all busy. Join me in my ‘Called To Create Podcast’ Community on Facebook, go to:

Aloha, In this episode, I talk about some of the reasons why women love to give.
The reason I chose this topic of ‘Women Love To Give’is because there is such a big gap between why women give and what they get out of it.
Here are the tips that I share:
My tip for you is to ask yourself some important questions:
#1) Am I giving because I have a need to be accepted?
#2) Am I giving because I want or need to be appreciated?
#3) Am I giving because I feel obligated to someone or something?
In this episode, I talk about the first question I asked while interviewing women for the last two years.
That questions is: What Is The Greatest Stress When It Comes To Your Finances?
These are the top four answers that I got:
1) Lack of money or not having enough
2) She does not know how to spend it the best way
3) The kids. There’s always something they need or want
4) Not really knowing what she and her husband have, owe or need
to pay for taxes.
Listen in to hear about the number one thing that you can do to
deal with the stress that comes with dealing with your finances.
Having joy in life and while dealing with your finances is possible.
In this first episode, I talked with Jen about her journey from being a Principal at a private school then moving to California from Hawaii to follow her dream.
