The Dena Jo Morning Show!

It’s Fri-YAY Y’all! Start your day with a little sugar!😁❤️💕#208

Today is Friday December 15th, on today's show:
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is  " blessed, blessing "
//: The word “blessed” is an adjective that means holy, happy, or fortunate, I am going to speak about the happy and fortunate
**Quote of the day:
"Reflect upon your present blessings, present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." -  Charles Dickens
Do you believe you are blessed?  Do you notice the abundance of blessing you do have in life or only see the bad?
Those can be hard questions especially if you happen to be going through a not so great time in your life.
Being blessed or some might say "lucky" can mean having good fortune, experiencing a sense of well-being, and simply recognizing and appreciating the positive parts of our lives. 
To really recognize your blessings, you have to practice gratitude.  Blessings and gratitude should go hand and hand.
When you make a conscious effort to focus on what you have rather than what you lack, it can open up a whole new world of happiness.
By practicing gratitude, you can learn to recognize and appreciate the blessings in your life both big and small.  AND when you focus on what you have instead of what you don't, you open up a world of abundance and possibilities.
Gratitude takes a simple shift in your mindset.  You just have to continually practice it in your life.  Notice the positive things, and you'll feel positive.  Notice the joys, and you'll feel joyous.  Noticing the goodness in your lives, and you have more things to look forward too.
You might start your day with negative emotions, but choosing to be grateful can help you in many ways.  It can help you love your life even at your lowest.
Try a gratitude journal or just a list of things in your life you are grateful for.  Because sometimes it is not always easy to see what is right in front of you.  Recognize that you are never alone, you have enough and you are enough. 
The quote of the day mentions, "not on your past misfortunes,"  This is a huge way to look back on ALL you have overcome.  Example: while packing I have found countless, foot, leg, knee's and back braces from different trials I have been through.  Remembering that when I was going through them, I did not believe I would make it.  Your overwhelmed, sad, in pain, stressed and you don't think you will get through it.  Look back on those times and see how far you have come.
There are plenty of benefits as to why you should be more grateful of your life, being more aware of the positive things instead of the negative will enhance one of the most important relationships in your life…YOURS!
You got this!  I believe in you!
**Joke of the day: 
Question  -  "What did Adam say the day before Christmas?"
Answer  -  “It’s Christmas, Eve"
Question  - "What's the difference between snowmen and snowladies?"
Answer  -  "Snowballs."

Motivational Monday - Start your day with a little sugar!😁❤️💕#207

Today is Monday December 11th, on today's show:
Bamm Bamm joined me as we discussed a little about Nikola Tesla.  
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
 Today's word of the day is   " encourage, encouragement, encouraging "
//:  give support, confidence, or hope to
**Quote of the day:
"Be encouraging to all you meet.  You never know who is having a hard day."
"A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success."
What does it mean to encourage? What are some characteristics of an encourager.
To be encouraging means to provide support, motivation or inspiration to someone.  Anyone can do it.  It can be in different forms: like words of encouragement, actions and empowerment.
When you encourage someone you are helping them overcome obstacles, achieve their goals, and improve their well-being.
And just like the word of the day on Wednesday, SUPPORTIVE, being a person who is a great encourager knows how to listen.  They are constantly seeking to understand you instead of talking. They stand by you in your failures and fears as much as they are during the good times.
An encouraging person shows a real love and concern for others.  They often have a sense that something might be robbing you of your joy and happiness. Some are blessed with that sense, I believe I have it, I just need to pay attention to it lately.
Encouragers are prayerful problem-solvers and will always try to pursue positive change in you.  They want you to be your best you.
Encouragers are ones that inspire others through there positivity. 
They show up, when others gang up with the hopes of knocking you out of the race.  They never leave.
They are that person who you can trust when darkness has become a part of your life.  They lift you up,  encourage and remind you of your past victories and all you have overcome.  They are your cheerleader.
The encourager not only assists others but in doing so, builds an army of friends along the way to encourage himself later.  It is a gift that keeps on giving.
So encourage, remind them that they are not alone, ask them how you can help, give them a huge hug and remind them that it is Love that heals.
You got this, I believe in you!!

What’s the difference between the bird flu and the swine flu?
One requires tweetment and the other an oinkment.

Connecting through movies and their soundtracks #206

Hosted by Pebbles and Bamm Bamm
Tonight's movie. "The Night Before."

Wednesday Fun Day with DJ - Start your day with a little sugar!😁💕❤️#205

Today's is December 6th, on today's show:
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
 
Today's word of the day is  " supportive "
//:  providing encouragement or emotional help
 
**Quote of the day:
"Sometimes we need someone to simply be there.  Not to fix anything, or not to do anything in particular, but just to let us feel that we are cared and supported. "
 
"People don't always need advice.  Sometimes all they really need is a hand to hold, an er to listen, and a heart to understand them."
 
"You don't need a reason to help people."
 
ARE YOU A SUPPORTIVE PERSON?
When you are struggling in life, all you want is to not feel alone and have is a supportive ear or shoulder pad to cry on.  Being supportive comes in many different forms, just like the relationships that might need it.
Being supportive means being kind and helpful to someone during a difficult or unhappy time in their life.
It involves offering genuine encouragement, reassurance, and compassion with an open mind an no judgement.
Having a supportive friend or group that builds people up during times of stress, gives them the strength to get through whatever they might be dealing with so they can thrive.
Once again, we are all different and need different types of support at different times in our lives.  Some of us lean more towards certain types of support.
It helps to know what type of support is needed in the situation/person.  Example: Giving someone advice when what they really want and need is someone to just listen, can come across as invalidating.
So learn to ASK for what type of support you need.  You might start the conversation by saying something like, " I just need to vent - do you have any time?  It is not fair to think people can read your mind and know what you might need.
You might need an empathic friend to talk too.  Or you might actually need advice. Or even speaking to a therapist or life coach is different.
- Sometimes we need someone to show us care and compassion
- Other times we need someone to hype us up
-  We need advice or a person who can take action and literally help us with something we can't do on our own.
Knowing you have the support of others and having people you can count on can help shield you from stress and protect your emotional and physical well-being.
Remember to keep in mind that there is no "one" way to be supportive, but there are a few tips you can start with if you are supportive challenged:
 
-  Learn to leave your opinions at the door -  It is normal to have "opinions" about others.  But when someone comes to you for support, it is best to zip it, open your ears and have a nice pair of shoulder pads on!  Of course if they want your advice, that is a different story, otherwise close your mouth!
-  A very valuable skill to master is active/empathetic listener  -  Really listen.  Maintain eye contact while they are speaking to you.  Avoid interrupting.  Paraphrase what they shared and repeat it back to them so to clarify what you have heard. (I had a therapist teach me that one.)
-  If you do not know how to support that person in their situation, try asking them what they might need from you. 
 
Sometimes all we need is someone to acknowledge the existence of our suffering to feel better.  We want someone to try to understand our feelings even if they don't necessarily agree with them.
More often than not we turn to someone as a sounding board rather than advice.  But, too often we skip this essential step of being supportive and dive straight into problem-solving.
Remember, offering emotional support typically involves asking questions, listening and then providing validation and the type of support a person needs. It is important to be patient, understanding, and non-judgmental.
YOU GOT THIS!!  I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Wednesday Fun Day - Start your day with a little sugar! 😁❤️💕#202

Today is Wednesday, November 29th, on today's show:
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
 
Today's word of the day is   " obstacles  "
//: a thing that blocks one's way or prevents or hinders progress:
**Quote of the day:
"Obstacles are in your way to see if what you want is really worth fighting for." -
"There are no limits, only obstacles, and any obstacle can be overcome."  -  David Belle
OBSTACLES - Overcoming those blocks in the road.
Overcoming obstacles in life requires resilience and  the ability to successfully navigate through the challenges that come your way in order to achieve your goals. It is important to understand that obstacles are a natural part of life and everyone faces them at some point.  
They can be anything that stands in the way of your progress, such as a lack of resources, personal limitations, or external factors.  It is how you react to these obstacles that can make all the difference in your success. For some people it is time to sulk, to have self pitty, and that is ok, to a point.  It’s important to still feel your feelings
you just cannot stay in that victim mentality for too long. 
The way you look at your obstacles can affect how you react to them.  If you think that you cannot succeed because of this or that, then you are likely to be overwhelmed with painful thoughts and difficult emotions when faced with blocks to your goals. 
But if you see these obstacles as an opportunity for growth, you can learn from them and become stronger.
You have to learn to not dwell on what is out of your hands and accepting what you cannot control.  Do not allow the slightest little set back hold you back from becoming your best self.  Have a little faith in yourself and your capabilities. 
Are you facing an obstacle right now?
Don't sit there and wait for too long.  Take a step back and analyze your work and make a plan.  And most of all, be "THANKFUL" for whatever you have in life.  Never forget most people wish for what you have, not knowing the difficulties you may have had to go through to get there.
You got this!  I believe in you!!

Motivational Monday - Start your day with a little sugar!😁💕❤️#201

Today is Monday November 27th, on today's show:
 **OK, listen people, are you paying attention, The Morning Show with Dena Jo has a special announcement…
Since the holiday season is now among us, I wanted to do a new holiday contest.   
Get your creativeness, glue guns, bom bomms and yarn out or just go buy one, it is time for  "The Dena Jo Ugly Sweater Contest!"
This gives you a whole lot of time to make or buy an ugly sweater! 
Ugly sweater pictures will need to be into me by December 11th (I will get that information for were to send it to.) and I will announce the winner on Friday the 15th. 
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
WORD OF THE DAY:   " cheerleader  "
//: an enthusiastic and vocal supporter of someone or something
**Quote of the day:
"Accept the challenges. So that you may feel the exhilaration of victory."
"Decide if you want it more than your afraid of it!"
Let your inner cheerleader shine!
We all have that one friend who tirelessly supports us all.
Having a cheerleader attitude is something that is good from everything to work to your partnership in your relationship and just moving forward and not giving up on your life.  It is not about the Ra, ra, ra, it is all about the attitude.
When you see a cheerleader on the side lines their attitude is a winning attitude.  When they are winning, they are cheering, Pom Pom's in the air cheering their team on. 
When their team is loosing and making all the wrong moves, their tone NEVER changes.  They have a winning tone, just a different chant, "defense, defense, defense.  Their tone is still pointing the team towards winning.  The cheerleader never gives up.  She/he doesn't stomp off and say I'm out of here because her team is loosing.
It is about teamwork.  Being there to support each other.  Giving up is not an option.
Positivity, discipline, hard effort,  teamwork, and devotion are all qualities that a cheerleader possess. 
You need to pay attention to how you speak to yourself.  Identify when you are being critical of yourself and stop.  Shift it to positive.  Cheer yourself on.
"I am strong, smart, capable person."
"I deserve to be treated with respect."
"I am not defined by my mistakes."
It is an understanding that there is room enough in the sky for everyone to take flight and soar without slamming into one another is a huge takeaway here.
Just like optimistic, Friday's word of the day, a cheerleader sees the bright side in any situation.  They are natural morale-boosters.
"Sometimes you need to give yourself a pep talk… Hello, you're a badass, you got this."
