<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ioboPv7UpqI/VyouH9YROQI/AAAAAAAABt0/GvVPMTQRHXkZtkPHmZ8PBvxtqqCFGMenACLcB/s1600/Minimalism%2Bat%2Bwork.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ioboPv7UpqI/VyouH9YROQI/AAAAAAAABt0/GvVPMTQRHXkZtkPHmZ8PBvxtqqCFGMenACLcB/s320/Minimalism%2Bat%2Bwork.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
While I don't consider myself a true minimalist (I'm pretty sure my kids' collection of toys could confirm that), I value a lot of the ideas that minimalism can teach us. I've found minimalism especially helpful when applied to the way I work. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. An uncluttered workspace, provides space for a clearer mind. This doesn't mean your desk has to be sterile. When you remove the clutter, only the most treasured pieces are left behind. That photo of your family or the quote that inspires and encourages you are no longer buried behind piles of junk. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Minimalism helps us to focus on quality, not quantity. Instead of doing a lot of things that are just good enough, wouldn't we all rather do a few things well? Some days it seems impossible to get everything on my list accomplished. Minimalism teaches us to say no to the things that aren't essential and pare down our to-dos to those things that really matter. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. It rejects the idea that we need to "keep up" with anyone else and gives us the proper perspective to focus on where we are now and where we can improve. As an author, it can be tough not to compare my own work to someone else's awards, sales numbers, or contracts. But I'm learning that energy is better spent on honing my craft. When we don't feel like we're competing with everyone in our field, it gives us the luxury of celebrating the successes of others. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Minimalism strips away pretense. Your work is no longer about what everyone else thinks but about the actual work itself, which is freeing and inspiring. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Relationships trump everything else. When it comes down to it, the reason minimalists strive to have less is so that they can pour more into the relationships in their lives. This can help build positive working relationships and can also help you strike a healthier work/family balance. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are a few of the thinkers and teachers on minimalism that I enjoy:</div>

One of the activities my boys have been loving is having a weekly theme night for dinner. We choose a meal and corresponding costumes, decorations (stuff we already own, of course, because I’m cheap) and sometimes even music to go with our theme.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">It all started when my husband was making Hawaiian burgers. I’m the odd person who loves teriyaki sauce and pineapple on her burger. To be completely honest, I'd had a stressful day, and I wasn't in a great mood. I was doing my best not to let my sour attitude rub off on the rest of the family. I remembered that in the cabinet we had some plastic leis and coconut cups from Dollar Tree, so we pulled them out.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">My boys (11 and 6) loved it, so they took the idea and ran with it.

<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
Moving up from a white belt to blue belt has been one of the most fun, exciting times in my Jiu Jitsu journey. But soon after, insecurities started creeping in. Did I really deserve this? Do my teammates think I deserved this? Is there a target on my back now? <span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1">I’ve spent the last two years as a light feather weight, master 2, female, white belt. I had every excuse to struggle with bigger opponents. Get submitted by someone new? <i>Oh well</i>. Struggle learning a new move? <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>It happens</i>. Then, I received my blue belt, and I felt this pressure <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(imaginary or not) to be better, and I didn’t want it to steal the joy Jiu jitsu has given me. So how do you make the transition with excitement and a growth mindset instead of fear? </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<ol class="ol1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<li class="li1" style="font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">Trust your coach. It’s not your job to decide whether you deserve a promotion. Someone else with more experience than you gets to make that call. Your job is simply to show up and put in the work. You’re at this gym for a reason. Do you trust your professor or head instructor? If so, believe that he or she sees you as a blue belt. This person promoted you for a reason. Your gym and instructors want to be represented in a positive light. You earned this. Be careful if you have a tendency toward negative self talk. Don’t listen to the lies. You deserve this. </span></li>
<li class="li1" style="font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">Realize that people aren’t thinking or talking about you as much as you probably think. Sure. You may be the talk of the gym the day you get your new belt, but people’s lives are busy and their attention spans are short. If they are saying negative things, it’s because they’re dealing with their own stuff. People have their own hang ups and insecurities that can be placed on us. Don’t accept that baggage. It’s not yours to carry. Your success doesn’t equal their failure. Move on and focus on your own progress. </span></li>
<li class="li1" style="font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">You now need to step up your game...but maybe not in the ways you might think. The step up your Jiu Jitsu game will come in time like it has from the beginning. Whether you like it or not, you’re now a leader to a segment of people in your gym. How’s your attitude? Are you complaining in front of newer members? Are you setting a good example for others? Are you showing up consistently? Now is the time to push through a difficult roll instead of giving up. Now is the time to have the courage to try new things and learn how to deal with being in uncomfortable positions. </span></li>
<li class="li1" style="font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">You should roll out of a place of continued growth and learning and not fear of being submitted. I get it. None of us want to be the blue belt submitted by a white belt, but if that becomes our new goal in Jiu jitsu, we’re going to become another statistic about practitioners quitting at blue belt. If you’re submitted, your job is to learn from and demonstrate to others how to take it graciously and how to keep going because chances are they’ll be in the same situation someday.</span></li>
<li class="li1" style="font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">Enjoy it. This is what you’ve worked so hard for. Now is your time to take the basics and dive deeper into the art. Explore new facets of the sport. Try new things, push yourself, and have fun</span></li>

Courtney Bailey is ready for her new adventure, fostering
kids in need. First, she’s agreed to go through a matchmaking week at a
Caribbean resort. With no interest in actually falling for anyone while she’s
there, Courtney hopes the crazy scheme will satisfy her mother who’s worried
Courtney has given up on love. Courtney’s shocked when she’s matched with her
ex-fiancé, Tyler Dunn, but giving into feelings for Tyler would only ruin her
big plans. </div>

After leaving his ten-year career in the army because of a

his next step in life will be. He never expected that trying to figure out his
future would lead him back to the most painful part of his past—Courtney Bailey.
Still, he’s enticed by the thought of spending the week with his gorgeous ex,
but when he starts falling for her for a second time, he doesn’t know if he can
handle another heartbreak. </div>

A new job for my husband, brought about an out-of-state move from Oklahoma to Louisiana. That meant meeting new people, my son is going to a new school, finding a new church, and of course, moving into a new house.<br />
<br />
Before we even walked into the house we eventually bought, my husband told the Realtor this one would be my favorite, and he was right. I don't know if it was the huge trees in the front yard, which are especially hard to come by in Oklahoma, but it turned out to be the right home for our family.<br />
<br />
It was built in the 90s, the era of honey oak cabinets and shiny brass fixtures (which are very different from the trendy brass fixtures of today), but the previous owners had already done some renovating, leaving us with a manageable amount of updating to do.<br />
<br />
One of the first things we did was paint a lot of the darker colors a light and neutral shade of gray. I used Sherwin Williams Repose Gray in many of the rooms. We also hired a painter to fill in the wood grain on the orange-looking oak cabinets and paint them two-tones of gray. We also replaced many of the light fixtures with more industrial, black fixtures.<br />

Just as I was looking for the right decor to finish off the space, someone from <a href="http://www.commercialpalmtrees.com/" target="_blank">Commercial Palm Trees</a> contacted me and asked if I would like to review a product. I selected the Fiddle Leaf Tree you'll see in the photo to the left, and it turned out to be a great addition to my living room. I'm not usually a fan of fake plants in a home, but this is proof that they've come a long way! You can't even tell it isn't real, and bonus, I can't kill it. The base, was a small black plastic container, so I found this rustic bucket from another part of the house, and it worked perfectly. If you're interested in reviewing one a product for the folks at Commercial Palm Trees, let me know, and I'll pass on the information to you.<br />

So, my most recent project has been using General Finishes Java Gel Stain to update the banisters to our stairs. I can't post photos yet, because lesson learned, dry times in a humid place like southern Louisiana take forever, but I'm almost finished.Julie Jarnaginhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17066689616022777802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757067787158700689.post-46917861254507830372017-05-22T07:16:00.000-05:002017-05-22T07:16:22.150-05:00New Release - Meg: Beach Brides<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Meg-Beach-Brides-Book-1-ebook/dp/B0711SPSGM/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1495412727&sr=8-1&keywords=julie+jarnagin+meg+beach+brides&linkCode=li3&tag=julijarn-20&linkId=550d71d58e73cbaff2d65bee2a2bb744" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" class="alignleft" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B0711SPSGM&Format=_SL250_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=julijarn-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=julijarn-20&l=li3&o=1&a=B0711SPSGM" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />I'm excited to announce that I'm kicking off a brand-new series with a great group of authors.

BEACH BRIDES SERIES (Meg)
Twelve friends from the online group, Romantic Hearts Book Club, decide to finally meet in person during a destination Caribbean vacation to beautiful Enchanted Island. While of different ages and stages in life, these ladies have two things in common: 1) they are die-hard romantics, and 2) they've been let down by love. As a wildly silly dare during her last night on the island, each heroine decides to stuff a note in a bottle addressed to her "dream hero" and cast it out to sea!<br />
<br />
Three weeks later, Meg Mullen's community theater is on the verge of closing if she can't raise the money to save it, but she's running out of time and needs a miracle. Television producer, Elliot Campbell, finds a message in a bottle from the perfect female contestant for his reality dating show. All he has to do is talk Meg into taking the job, convince her to choose one of the contenders, and figure out how to keep from falling in love with her himself.<br />

Unable to find solid footing in his disrupted life, he returns to his family's ranch,
a place he thought he'd left behind for good. The scars on his face are a daily
reminder of all he's lost, yet his mom still insists he needs to stop hiding
and live his life again. The beautiful new employee she hires is the last thing
he needs, despite his mom's best intentions, and he'll do whatever it takes to
make the girl quit and regain the peace and quiet he prefers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

when they arrive in three weeks, she must turn the temporary job into a
permanent one. Between dodging mud, feeding longhorn cattle, and dealing with a
handsome boss who keeps giving her the cold shoulder, staying gainfully
employed is proving to be a challenge. Chelsea may not be cut out for ranch
life, but her determination to succeed is stronger than Parker's efforts at
forcing her to leave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Traditions Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas has been in Claire Grigg’s family for three generations, and she dreams of restoring the struggling chapel to its original glory. When Claire discovers the chapel’s financial problems and the strain it’s putting on her parents’ marriage, Claire commits to doing whatever it takes to save the business.</div>

Vegas is the last stop on Ben Karr’s tour, and he’s afraid he’ll soon be added to a long list of one-hit wonders. He’s determined to prove that his talent deserves to be taken seriously and all the sacrifices his grandmother made were worth it. He’s known more for his frequent break-ups with famous women than his music. Until he can repair his public image, Ben’s label refuses to invest in another album.</div>

<br />
I love this time of year - the decorations, the Christmas movies, and the excitement on my kids' faces. But I don't love the mall or the crowds. I'd rather spend my time at home with a book.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "segoe ui" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Can a fake engagement lead to lasting love?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "segoe ui" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">After her boyfriend dumps her instead of proposing, Mary Beth wants nothing to do with her ten-year high school reunion. Especially because if she shows up without a date, she’ll lose a bet with her high school nemesis. Christian is too busy with his camping equipment startup to date—until his sister sets him up online. The chance connection could help his business—if he agrees to Mary Beth’s dramatic request that he pretend to be her fiancé. But when make-believe becomes something more, they must decide if this new love can last… </span><br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L7EBy3qW-BI/V0YaXxMYFDI/AAAAAAAABvI/9rKD1geuLhsvtu1CIHVg5UD2UWOvxI4yACLcB/s1600/checking.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L7EBy3qW-BI/V0YaXxMYFDI/AAAAAAAABvI/9rKD1geuLhsvtu1CIHVg5UD2UWOvxI4yACLcB/s320/checking.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Are you a checker? Do you constantly check your email, check Facebook, check Instagram?<br />
<br />
Me too.<br />
<br />
Well, I did...before I found a way out of my obsessive checking. I knew I was spending too much time looking at my phone and not enough time engaged with the people I love or in my writing, but before I would even realize I was doing it, I was scrolling through another of the endless feeds.<br />
<br />
I tried several things. Making rules for myself such as only check at certain times of the day or only after my work is finished, but nothing worked. I was addicted to the high of anticipation I got when I clicked on an app on my phone. But the constant checking left me feeling numb and drained of energy.<br />
<br />
In the book <a href="http://amzn.to/1TEXj2e" target="_blank">The Power to Get Things Done</a>, Steve Levinson explains that knowing why we should or shouldn't do something is an important step, but it often isn't enough. Sometimes we have to do things to trick our brains into cooperating. Because I need to be socially connected so that I can market the books I write, I couldn't simply delete all of my accounts.<br />
<br />
So I finally found a few ways that have helped me break my habit of checking.<br />
<br />
1. I <b>removed all the social media apps</b> and my personal email account from my iPhone.<br />
<br />
This has definitely had the biggest impact on my checking. I left my work email and "Pages" app so that I could update the professional Facebook pages I manage. I also left my Kindle App, which means that when I'm bored, I often read instead of falling into mindless checking. I still have access to all my social media accounts on my iPad and computer, but because the phone was the biggest part of the problem, this cut down on the automatic checking.<br />
<br />
2. I <b>blocked Safari</b> (the web browser) from my phone.<br />
<br />
After I removed the Facebook app from my phone, I would still check it by typing it into Safari. To remove the temptation, I blocked it within my phone's restrictions. To do this, go to Settings - General - Restrictions - Enable Restrictions - Allow (Disable Safari). I could always turn it back on if I needed it for work, but it's a lot of steps and a lot of trouble, so I usually don't. <br />
<br />
3. I <b>unfollowed</b> a lot (and I mean a lot) of people on Facebook.<br />
<br />
Note that I didn't unfriend them. I can still see their pages and usually if something big happens I'll see a notification that other friends have liked or commented on their status. But this means fewer unimportant updates like quiz results or memes show up in my newsfeed. For Twitter, I created a list of my favorites. This dramatically reduced the time it takes me to scroll through my newsfeed when I do check these sites. <br />
<br />
4. I stopped having my phone and computer <b>remember passwords</b>.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the small step of having to enter a password can give us enough of a pause to realize we might be checking something out of boredom or fear of working on an important project. As a writer, I've learned that a lot of procrastination comes out of a place of fear that my writing isn't good enough or that I don't have anything to say. But seeing that login page now reminds me of what I'm doing and makes me question where my priorities are.<br />
<br />
Everyone has different triggers, so this plan may not work perfectly for you. If that's the case, look at when and how you're checking and put barriers into place to keep you focused on what's important.Julie Jarnaginhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17066689616022777802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757067787158700689.post-64505102575655054092016-03-22T17:04:00.001-05:002016-03-22T18:37:32.451-05:00Frustration IS the Process I recently read two very different books that both emphasized one very similar point -<br />
<br />
Stress, frustration, feeling stuck or lost...this is the creative process.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Big-Magic-Creative-Living-Beyond-ebook/dp/B00S52M350/ref=as_li_ss_il?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1458682939&sr=1-1&keywords=big+magic+elizabeth+gilbert&linkCode=li3&tag=julijarn-20&linkId=69b9e781df5ade2410637b1a7883c1c4" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B00S52M350&Format=_SL250_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=julijarn-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=julijarn-20&l=li3&o=1&a=B00S52M350" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Smarter-Faster-Better-Productive-Business-ebook/dp/B00Z3FRYB0/ref=as_li_ss_il?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1458683171&sr=1-1&keywords=smarter+faster+better&linkCode=li3&tag=julijarn-20&linkId=fb76f435a6b4ad93f73619950932ecdb" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B00Z3FRYB0&Format=_SL250_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=julijarn-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=julijarn-20&l=li3&o=1&a=B00Z3FRYB0" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><br />
<br />
It's something you have to go through to get to the good stuff. We all want to find an easy, step-by-step process for creativity and art. But it doesn't exist.<br />
<br />
A solid process is great for the act of research, scheduling your writing time, and goal setting, but when it's just you and the work, it's pushing through the questions and uncertainty that lead to creativity.<br />

So don't give up. None of us have this figured out. We're all in it together. Keep working.

You need to write that term paper, edit the chapter of the novel you're working on, or finish your taxes. It has been on your to-do list all week. But things keep getting in the way. You get busy, someone interrupts you, or you sit down to work on it and you just get stuck. What do you do?<br />
<br />
1. Use the timer on your phone. Tell yourself you're going to work on it with complete focus for 5<b> minutes</b>. Don't allow yourself any distractions for the full five minutes. If the doorbell rings, ignore it. Turn your phone off. You can do anything for five minutes, right?<br />
<br />
2. When the timer goes off, congratulate yourself. Getting started is by far the hardest part. You did it!<br />
<br />
3. Do you have another five minutes in you? Yes? Reset your timer and do another five minutes.<br />
<br />
4. You hit a point where you feel that tug that tells you to stop. You want to check your Facebook, refresh your email, get a snack. You have an unexplainable urge to google the song lyrics you've been wondering about. Take a deep breath and identify what triggered that feeling. Did you just run into a question you couldn't answer? Are you experiencing self-doubt? Once you recognize what's causing you to want to quit, it has less power over you. If you have a pen and paper nearby, write it down.<br />
<br />
5. Keep going. Can you press through the rest of the five minutes despite the resistance you feel? Yes! And every time you overcome this resistance, you're making it a little easier to overcome the next time.<br />
<br />
6. Do you think you can do more? Reset your timer for 10 minutes or 15 minutes, but try to keep the intervals short enough that they seem easily attainable. We want your brain to think - <i>Pshaw! That's easy. I can do that.</i> Not - <i>Whoa! Let's go watch those cat videos on youtube again.</i><br />
<br />
7. Keep going. You've got this.<br />

Writing down our plans for the day is useful, but is it enough?<br />
<br />
Have you ever made a to-do list and then only accomplished the easy stuff, leaving the two or three big, important tasks untouched.<br />
<br />
Here's one tip for a good to-do list:<br />
<br />
Make your list the night before. Make sure you put some kind of limit on each item. If it's small, like paying your electric bill, you can complete the whole thing. If it's editing your novel, you'll need to put a limit on it such as, <i>spend 30 minutes editing</i> or <i>edit one chapter</i>. Make it small enough that you can do it in one sitting. If you need to, sprinkle several of these smaller tasks throughout the day.<br />
<br />
Then number your list in the order you plan to do it. Do this the night before. We tend to be more optimistic about how we'll feel the next day and will put the more important tasks up front. If you wait until the next day, they easily get pushed further down on the list. Make sure to mix some easier tasks in with the bigger, more difficult tasks to give yourself a break.<br />
<br />
The next day, you don't have to come up with the willpower to convince yourself to work on the important stuff. Just start working on your list in order.
