Take Control of Your Life Like These Women Did!

Become A Control Freak About Your Own Life!

Are you stuck in a rut? Do some days feel like the same old, same old... kind of like Groundhog Day? (No, this isn't an ad for a self-improvement seminar.) Well, join the club! Not that it's a club I want to be in or that I'd recruit my friends to join! OMG, please! I'm not one of those people who drags everyone down to my level when things aren't perfect. But most everyone ends up in this unfortunate club at some point, like it or not. It can happen without us even realizing. We get distracted, we get lazy, we lose inspiration, and before we know it, we're living our own Groundhog Day (but without Andie MacDowell's awesome hair!). If that's where you are right now, make 2018 the year that you take control of your life to make it what you want it to be!

If you're not sure where to start, take a look at this Forbes article for some ideas. It suggests 6 things you can do to change course. Not big lofty stuff that's hard for mere mortals to implement, just practical ideas everyone can do. Like saying "No" once in a while to things that zap your creative energy. Or saying "Yes" to things that can boost your creative spirit; trying new things... all suggestions that can make a difference. You should read for yourself to see. Once you have a few simple habit-changing ideas to run with, you might be ready for a more intellectual approach that can lead you to a shift of mindset. Actually, the author calls it a "shift of brilliance." How brilliant is that? Check out this article for 7 ways to shift and take control of your life. It's good reading to get you started.

Of course, you should also take a look at the quotes I'm sharing this week from some fabulous mavens of creativity. Talk about a shift of brilliance! These ladies know how to tap into their talents and create amazing work that's left an indelible mark in their respective artistic fields. Do you own a wrap dress? Thank Diane von Furstenberg for that go-to outfit. How many times have you belted out Single Ladies in the car? You've got Beyoncé to thank for that! Ever binged on Grey's Anatomy or I Love Lucy? Thank you Shonda Rhimes and Lucille Ball. And then there's Dolly Parton, who's such an icon, she could just go by her first name.

These women truly inspire me. They all know a thing or two about how to get out of a rut and take control of your life. And, is it just me, or have you noticed that they all have fabulous hair? Even Dolly, whose known for her wigs, has amazing hair! Maybe it's just a coincidence, but nothing wrong with noticing! These ladies have awesome careers and fantastic style. Sounds good to me!
