It starts with your mindset When it comes to creating success, your mindset is ultra-important. If you’re trapped in a fearful place, worrying about negative possibilities, you won’t be able to see the positive opportunities that come your way. One way Editrix Jenni keeps her mind on track is through music; she keeps an “awesome” playlist on her iPod at all times. How do you keep your positive mindset? New today at ChronicBabe.com: Get ready for the new! Just how do ChronicBabes find hope for the new year, when we cope with so many unknown variables? We start with three simple steps: surrounding ourselves with successful people who we can emulate, making one promise to ourselves, and cultivating a little faith. Editrix Jenni is going to give it a try, with hopes that 2009 will totally RAWK. Want to give it a try yourself? What's on our plate? Awards season! Right now we’re nominated for two awards, and we need your help to win, Babes! First: If you follow us on Twitter, please nominate us for a Shorty Award in the Health category. We’re also up for a Wellsphere People’s HealthBlogger Award, so we need your vote . Thanks, Babes!
Did you know? Everyone faces obstacles. Trent over at The Simple Dollar (one of our fave blogs) has been facing health issues, and he writes simply and eloquently about how he’s working to get back on track and cultivate a positive outlook.
