First Words

August 11, 2014 · In: BABY, Uncategorized

untitled-8100087“Hey, your baby’s only 2 months old!” 

He’s part Asian (Korean), so this first word is pretty obvious. It is “GI.” BAHAHAHA. It is the word for that white two-piece outfit you wear in Karate. Although Karate is Japanese, it IS Asian so I totally get him. 

We’ve heard this word a handful of times. He seems to say it when he is angry. It may  be some kind of superhero thing where he calls for his fighting costume when he’s mad. Wow, he’s got such a great imagination. 

It could also be the costume he wants for Haloween. That would be pretty cool too.

P.S. I’m a red belt in Tae Kwon Do but from when I was 16 years old where I only sparred with 12 year old boys who were my size. At first they didn’t want to hit a girl…until they started getting beat up by me, a chunky teenage girl with flying fists, in front of their dads. Our mom made us do martial arts so we could annihilate any possible assailant. I don’t think my husband knows this and I want to keep it that way.

    Loving the first word! Seeing that his mom is a Tae Kwan Do master, it’s a very fitting first word for him! Hopefully the hubby skips this weeks post so he doesn’t discover your hidden talent for ass kicking! 😉

    such a pretty picture 🙂 and so funny about your son’s first word! and oh my gosh… i took tae kwon do when i was little and i was the only girl in my class. i quit after yellow belt after my master decided to use me as an “example” and humiliated me in front of everyone. apparently my husband also took tae kwon do and he told his “quit story” – he rammed his bike into the store sign that was out in the sidewalk and he peddled away right when the master saw him! he never went back afterwards. i laughed so hard when he told me his story 🙂

      Hi, Jane!! Oh man…shaming is THE worst! I’m laughing so hard over your husband’s “quit story!” That is hilarious! There was a little kid who would try to lick everyone and our teacher would shame him for it. He probably had Pica!

      Oh, Pam, in my head I feel like he’s smarter than me…all babies for that matter. 🙂 They know what’s important while I’m freaking out about getting the clothes folded. 🙂

Comment MEALS and I’ll send you my free “What I ea Comment MEALS and I’ll send you my free “What I eat in a day” to lose 25 pounds.

I had to simplify weight loss because I have so many other things I want to pour my energy into!

You see me doing a million things but I’m actually impatient and lazy. I’m a Taurus who loves to lounge and eat donuts.

I found a way to eat donuts, lose weight and do it with the least effort.

The food is easy. The prep is easy. I don’t even think about it anymore.

I started my journey in the summer and it was the best life upgrade of the year.

Follow @christinajwarren to make life easier and more enjoyable simply with your attitude.
Life has its twists and turns. Everything can chan Life has its twists and turns. Everything can change in a moment. 

All possibilities are equally available at all times. 

You have the free will to reach out and touch whichever one you choose 

There have been times when I thought gosh how did I get into this situation? 

I had to remind myself that I could get myself out of it.

I had to remind myself that I had the power to create the life that I wanted.

I hope there’s something that you want that you’ve decided to experience for yourself. 

Not someday or if this or if that.

Cheering you on, my friend!
Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your fu Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your full life even more:

1. Tying my worthiness to outcomes- at the end of each day I focus on how the day felt, over what got done.

There are days when I am a super DOER and I also have heartburn. 

I want less days like that and more days that feel peaceful regardless of the list.

2. Earning rest-If I feel like eating donuts and sleeping on the sofa all Saturday morning, that’s awesome. Don’t need permission and don’t need to apologize-just enjoy.

3. Saying “I should”- That’s a 100% red flag for something I SHOULDN’T do. 

That’s a signal that it’s something that someone else says I should be doing-not my inner authority.

4. Needing things to be hard- I say things like “Show me how easy this gets to be,” (and I believe it). The proof presents itself.

5. Needing it to be perfect before sharing-not that I’m sharing the hot mess, just that it can be 80% and ready for the world. 

Some things take off right away and others need tweaking. Get it out there to find out where you are at sooner.

It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve your life. You feel like you need more- money, creativity, luck.

That’s actually not true though.

When I fall into this trap, I do this…

Here’s the trick.

When you ask yourself “why is this so hard” your brain goes to work finding every reason it is.

BUT when you ask “why is this so easy for me?” “Why is it all falling into place?”

Your brain has to find proof of that instead.

Different question. A completely different experience.

Keep asking that question all day! Stop asking “Is it working?” Just do it!

Try it on your house. Your body. Anything you’ve been stuck on and tell me what happens!

Do you use mindset tricks like this?

Follow @christinajwarren if you enjoy finding ways to be empowered in your life, no matter what is going on around you.
How many times was I going to send this listing to How many times was I going to send this listing to my friend and my husband, asking if it’s worth a 45 minute drive to go pick this up?

If I waited any longer, it was going to be gone.

But what if that was a sign that it wasn’t for me?

where was my sign from the universe?

I just knew this was going to give our family room the cozy vibe I wanted. 

Everything else in the room was new so it needed something to feel warmer, unexpected, collected and personal.

I kept holding the phone up to the couch trying to picture it.

It belonged here.

She was asking $100 and I asked if $80 would be ok. It was deal and we were off on a long trip, deep into the city.

Was this going straight to Goodwill?

She put the cutest note on top and her roommate helped up load it into our truck.

I dumped a bunch of water on it and gave it a good scrub plus some scraping off of candle wax. No problem!

Truly, what’s meant for you will never pass you by. 

When you search and shop with that vibe, all the right stuff will arrive in your feed and you’ll get the perfect piece.

No kidding, within a day of DECIDING my coffee table was going to be on Marketplace, it showed up.

If you’re into the power of your vibes creating your whole world, follow @christinajwarren where we cultivate inner peace to create a beautiful life from the inside out.
