KMM #4: How to Lift Your Mood!

Hey Hey! I’m Kacie May. Today we’re talking about mood lifters.

Are you feeling crummy?

Do you feel listless?

Do you poop out at parties?

Hopefully not :/

But guess what?!

Find something that puts you in a great mood!

We can change our mood?

OH yes we can!

We are in control of our emotions.

You want to feel great as often as possible because when you feel great you attract great things.

Like attracts like.

One mood lifter I LOVE is music.

I dare you. Find that one song, that one jam that makes you feel like JAMMIN!

And I dare you: don’t even dance. Don’t move a muscle. Just sit there. Don’t even smile.

Just sit there like this (straight face).

Do it right NOW!

(You’re trying to keep a straight face, then BAM! You perk up!)

We! Are! Fa-mi-ly! I got all my sisters and me! We! Are! Fa-mi-ly! Get up everybody and SING!

We! Are! Fa-mi-ly!

You’re WELCOME! ;)

As always, thank you for reading, stay tuned, Love Yourself & Feel Beautiful, and let’s connect at KacieMay.com.

KMM #3: My Awakening

Hi everyone! I'm Kacie May.

Watch me speak.

It was 2011. I was living in L.A. pursuing fashion styling and a business venture.

I felt lost and helpless as I was struggling to find my niche, support myself, as well as make genuine friends. I also missed my family who lives all over California. I wasn't taking very good care of myself.

I started getting symptoms like the flu and asthma, and I didn’t know what was going on.  I took herbs from my Dad who's an Herbalist, and they helped at first but then stopped working and my symptoms got worse. Then I lost my appetite and started losing weight, and lost energy and strength.

I drove out to my Dad's house in Rancho Cucamonga to work on my car, and I was so physically weak I couldn't turn the crank to lift the tire. He put me to bed and wouldn't let me go back to my apartment in LA. Then he called my Mom, an RN a few days later and requested her help.

One of my brothers picked me up and drove me to my Mom's house in the Sacramento area, and it was Thanksgiving. And by the way I had nothing but the clothes on my back and my purse with me. I slept during a lot of the drive, as well as through Thanksgiving. Then I got an x-ray and found out my left lung was collapsed and that I had millimeters of trachea space left to breathe. I was near dying. I was scared, but I knew I wasn't going to die then. I knew because I believed I was in the right hands, some of those being my Mom’s.

I chose to put my life in other people's hands as I got on breathing treatments and an IV, and was transported in an ambulance to a different hospital where I stayed for 8 days and had chemotherapy and many other drugs. My whole life was turned upside down. I couldn't go back to my apartment, and thanks to my family they packed my things and put it all in storage.

For about 2 years I lived with my Mom. She was my caretaker and I took both drugs and natural treatments, and as of the day I write this I am still receiving treatments. My Mom fed me, helped me sit up in bed, bathe and walk at my worst times. My Mom is my angel.

The great news is that I consider my diagnosis and conquering Hodgkin's Lymphoma to be a blessing and my awakening. I dove into personal development more so than before, asking questions like: What kind of a person was I being for this to happen, and what is a healthier way to be? I found out that when we love ourselves, our insides reflect that.

My motto is Love Yourself & Feel Beautiful, LYFB, and it's part of the title of my upcoming eBook. It’s also hash tagged on social media. Join us and comment, follow, as well as hash tag your own media that’s LYFB!

I found out that we're all connected and here to lift each other up, to give each other a hand up, and help each other. This ongoing, morphing life experience is teaching me that I am a force to be reckoned with who's got to lead by example and pay it forward. It's my mission. Helping others to love themselves too and become amazing leaders- I feel this is my purpose. Also to live lives fully expressed. I can identify with this too, because for years I had severely repressed myself. And I am still uncovering who I truly am!

What causes repression? Fear. What I found out is that fear is false. False Evidence Appearing Real. It's a mask. An illusion. I found out that we can be whoever we want to be and do whatever we want to do. And the sooner we figure out what this means to us, the sooner we can journey this path.

So I serve as a role model for strength, leadership, empathy, courage, self love, body love, valuing your voice and vision, and probably a few other categories as well. The experience forced me to open up and connect with people more, because almost everyone I converse asks me about it as if I've come back from a war. And I have.  I'm winning because I turned it into a peace treaty.

They're curious about the experience, inspired and enlightened, so I took that as my queue to grow quicker into the leader I already know I am deep at my soul's core. The experience liberates and humbles me, and of course as Marianne Williamson says: "As we are liberated from our own fears, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same."

KMM #2: Why Should I Dress My Best?

Hey hey! I’m Kacie May. We’re talking about why we should always dress our best. So why should we? Well there’s a couple of reasons.

Watch me speak on it.

First of all how we look and how we feel are connected.

We live in a visual society, so our physical appearance our grooming and our hygiene- this is our visual business card.

Also we’re judged on these things, people make an assessment about us, within the first handful of seconds of meeting us just on these things alone!

And when I say grooming and hygiene I’m talking about mean how we keep our hair, the health and appearance of our skin with the skincare we use, as well as our teeth, things like this.
In order to have integrity with who we are, we’ve got to align who we are on the inside with who we are on the outside. What we wear, our physical appearance, is not everything about us.

Our insides that’s the rest of who we are.

It’s what we have here (in our heads) and what we have in here (in our hearts).

Think about it:

When was the last time you dressed up?

Were you going out on a hot date?

Maybe you were going out with the girls.

Or maybe you were going to a big event.

I want you to think about how you felt during those few hours or during that day.

Probably hot and confident, right?

You were lovin yourself and FEELIN beautiful! (LYFB!)

Well guess what ladies, we’re supposed to feel this way every single day.

And if you’re not feeling this, it’s about time to start as of yesterday!

Some people ask me: Is it vain or superficial to take care of our physical self, to dress our best and to take care of our hygiene and our appearance of our skin and our hair?

No. I tell them no, of course not.

I actually had a stigma about this; I kind of felt that way before too but what I found out is that we’re really taking care of ourselves.

And when we take care of ourselves we feel great.

When we feel great we’re attracting great things and can also better take care of others so it’s a win-win all around.

So in conclusion ladies and gentleman, take care of your physical assets. Love yourself and feel beautiful, take advantage of those physical assets you have and yes I’m talking to you!

Dress for your body type, lifestyle, and personality and always Love Yourself and Feel Beautiful.

KMM #1: Be Unstoppable.

Hey hey, I’m Kacie May.

I’ve heard from some of my mentors to sharing our struggles as well as our triumphs.

So here’s some of my struggles.
Watch me talk about it instead if you like.

I’m sitting here in my bed which I’ve been at more than the majority of the day because

some synthetics a couple days ago that are temporarily attempting to take the life force from me.

And here I am making a video and sharing with everyone, and connecting on social media and talking to people over phone.

It’s not about what you can’t do,

Focus on what you CAN do.

Oh, and a note on how to treat people who might be struggling in any particular area of their life.

Don’t say “oh you poor thing” or feel sorry for them. It’s dis-empowering. It doesn’t do any good.

Instead empathize with them. Be in that moment, in that place.  
Maybe offer some solutions,

or at least great energy.

Ask them what they’re learning.

In the time I’m feeling healthy enough-

which is becoming more often lately because of what I’m taking and how I’m treating myself,

I’m building relationships- new ones, existing ones, making them better.

I’m creating and sharing content on social media,

creating a new website,

and I’m helping to FREE people, working on something huge.

And all from my bed today.

So moral of the story is:

Focus on what you can do, not what you can’t do.

And be unstoppable.

I am unstoppable and you can be, too.
