Your life isn’t changing because you aren’t changing anything. Seems simple right? Of course your body wants you to go back to sleep. You always go back to sleep. If you woke up early, every single day at the same time for a month straight, by the third week maybe even the second, your body will wake up without an alarm. You will have more time in the day. Habits become lifestyles. I don’t know about you but in my personal opinion, mornings are so much better when they are peaceful & quiet before you have to dive headfirst into the day. I don’t like waking up pissed that I have to rush and think of everything at once. I need time to wake up, stretch, gain positive energy & plan. If you think I wake up in a positive mood & mindset every single day, you have me twisted. Brings me back to my EVER IMPORTANT ‘DAILY ROUTINE’ post. ( GO DO IT ) Then you can add waking up earlier into your daily routine & thank me later.

Feel like Sh*t?

Cool stop getting off work and going straight to the alcohol with your coworkers because you are SOOOOO stressed & tired “you deserve it”. NO HONEY. Your body deserves rest & replenishing because you just busted your behind to make a living. YOU DESERVE FOOD & REST. If you are sooooo stressed & tired, go TF home. If you really need a drink that bad (YOU DON’T) Go home and have a beer or a glass of wine. No room for your “friends” shoving shots down your throat so they can feel better about their miserable decisions. Your friends will come see you & eat breakfast with you if they are your friends. Bored? Use your free time to go home and read or watch something that will put your brain to work, or relax your mind. Both are more beneficial then going and getting hammered & fighting temptation & feeling like crap will ever be.

Feel like Sh*t? Cool stop needing a vape in your hand 24-7 to feel some sort of “release” or whatever it was for me. I’ll tell you what it was… A FREAKING HABIT. If it was that easy for me to get addicted to a stick full of poison. Then I can get addicted to feeling good,looking good, BREATHING RIGHT & living longer.

This is a short post to get in your head.

Think about the things you are doing that are benefiting you & those around you and the things that really aren’t. Go to my first post & create a new routine that will help you stay on track and live at your full potential. Simple key to success & happiness.

NO MORE BLAME GAME.

Are you the real reason you’re not exactly where you want to be in life ? I was.

Step 1: Intro

When you blame, you make excuses for why you’re broke, for why you’re stuck & why you’re unhealthy or unhappy. It’s easier to blame your lifestyle on your childhood,your parents,your past, or even how you are feeling, then it is to man or woman up & say it’s my fault i’m in this position & get off your butt to change it. You aren’t a child anymore, you may even have children…..you’re right you had those things happen to you, but this is your life & you have to take that & do something productive with it. All the resources are there. I think it’s easier for someone with trauma or challenges to LEVEL UP then it is for people who have had everything handed to them. They don’t have the same drive. My challenges inspire & motivate me. I have all the more reason to do it. How long are you going to hold on to what you thought you had to live with ? You can have what you want to have, live wherever you want, be in phenomenal relationships, every time you wake up you are making a decision. Are you going to choose to settle & say “This is just the way I am” because of whatever happened to you? OR are you going to say THIS IS WHO I AM GOING TO STRIVE TO BE SO I CAN SHOW EVERYONE WHERE I CAME FROM & PROVIDE FOR & EMPOWER MY FAMILY & THE PEOPLE AROUND ME ????? seriously.

Step 2:Do you really know yourself?

Step aside from your ego & the fact that you are content with who you are & change isn’t needed. Everyone has things they can change to improve. Figure out what they are.

I know I don’t hang out with people who party all the time anymore because I get temped into drinking way too much & hating myself the next day & not being able to follow my routine.

I know I don’t text anyone or respond to anything before i’ve sent my kids off to school happy, had breakfast, & COFFEE….because I probably wont respond accordingly. ( like not the nicest lol )

I know I don’t save or budget money well & that with all of my hard work I could’ve been wealthy by now.

I know I used to think all I had to offer was to be sexy to get validation & attention on the internet to feel like somebody and now I have to live with that and push hard to my daughter that it’s so much more impressive to be intelligent, and kind.

I WOKE UP ONE DAY AND TOLD MYSELF I HAD MORE TO OFFER, MY MIND IS WAY TOO CREATIVE,AND OPEN, AND DEEP TO SETTLE FOR SOME SH*T LIFE OF BEGGING FOR VALIDATION BECAUSE OF THE WAY I LOOK.

OKAY!

WRITE DOWN 3 THINGS YOU NEED TO CHANGE ABOUT YOUR LIFE THAT WILL GET YOU CLOSER TO YOUR GOALS WRITTEN DOWN YESTERDAY.

Step 3: POSITIVE SELF-OBSERVATION

Focusing on change & improvement is so important but so is recognizing the good you do daily and continuing to do those things.

I know I try to bite my tongue when I know i’ll cause hurt feelings or an argument because i’ve been that person before. I had to hurt someone to not feel as hurt. EW.

I know I remind myself to thank people for the value they bring to my life and tell those I love them that I do because (mostly i’m a cancer and think of something happening to them when it probably isnt lol) BUT because the people in my life deserve to know they are appreciated. Point blank.

I know I wake up early every morning at the same exact time so I can mentally prepare myself for the day (have energy,positive energy) before I even have to wake up my kids for school. I don’t look at my phone or any social media until i’m back from dropping them off. I think, I stretch, I work out, I make them and myself & their dad breakfast or atleast go buy it (lol). THEN I dive into writing,Social Media etc. etc.

There are so many POSITIVE things in my ‘Daily Routine’ that I do because I know it will make me a better person, a better mom, a better girlfriend, a better everything.

WRITE DOWN 3 POSITIVE THINGS YOU ALREADY REMEMBER TO DO DAILY, & WANT TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT ARE EFFECTIVE TOWARDS REACHING YOUR GOALS & BECOMING THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE.

STEP 4: FINDING YOUR ‘WHY’

Who are you doing it for? (it can be yourself,family,whatever) Why do you want it so badly?

WRITE IT DOWN

WHAT IS YOUR ‘WHY’

If you are going to be great, you have to have a reason for why you do what you do. You have to be excited. The reason why you don’t give 100% each day is because you have no reason to.

Everyone has a purpose in life & if you don’t think you have one just read another blog because i’m here to inspire people who want to live at their fullest potential. I’m not a victim. You’re not a victim. I had the power to change my life and I did. I had the choice to stay down or level up. I had the choice to be a part of the 99% of the world that works for the man and is content with one or two paychecks from poverty or to use my creative abilities & be a part of the 1% of the world that puts their BRAIN to work, has MOTIVATION,DRIVE,DISCIPLINE & FOCUS to work for themselves.

I’m not anywhere near where I want to be yet but I have a WHY and a PURPOSE that I made MYSELF responsible for each day and I am doing EVERYTHING to make sure that I don’t waste my life wishing I was doing this & wishing I was doing that. Wishing I would’ve told this person I loved them, wish I would’ve actually used every minute of my life valuably. I refuse & you should too.

LAST STEP: IT’S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU

IN YOUR NOTEBOOK I (YES AGAIN) WANT YOU TO WRITE DOWN 3 OF YOUR GOALS

BELOW THEM I WANT YOU TO WRITE 3 PEOPLE YOU LOVE AND HOW REACHING THESE GOALS WOULD POSITIVELY AFFECT & EMPOWER THOSE PEOPLE.

TAKE AWAY

Hopefully today you were able to take part in some ‘Self Observation’ & recognition that it isn’t the things you’ve been through or the choices you have made in the past that define you today. You can completely renew & re-educate yourself into being the exact person you want to be. I don’t care if you are a young mom, a high-school dropout, a recovering addict, an alcoholic, a lazy a** person, out of shape. You are choosing to keep being these things every second of every day & those are just facts. It’s time to level up. You’re the designer of your life i’m just here to give you the kick in the a** you need. Peace Baby. XO

“The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.”

This is a writing exercise so grab your journals & a pen! You can always look back & reference these exercises to help you again!

You may already have a “Daily Routine” but is it really leading you to where you want to be? Who you want to be? You’ll find out today. If you can’t accept change, this exercise isn’t for you. if you cant accept letting go of who you are, for who you’ll become, not for you. Just save yourself time because if that describes you, you’ll never have the courage to make the moves and take the action towards a better life & that is just a fact. Now for those of you still here…..

“Even if you don’t typically have a strict schedule, creating a routine can be helpful in times of unpredictability, uncertainty, and stress. Giving structure to your day EVERY DAY can give you a sense of control. It can also help your focus, organization, and productivity.”

It WILL help you reach your goals.

You can reach ANY goal with consistency.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU WANT?! YOU MAY HAVE AN IDEA BUT YOU CANNOT MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT A CLEAR VISION OF YOUR GOALS.

Today we are going to find out exactly what it is you want, it can be multiple things you want to achieve, small or big & we are going to figure out the exact steps you need to take to reach these goals. You’ll find exactly what and where you need to insert & make changes into your daily routine. Today you will be sent off with the full starter pack to a new beginning. A new mindset. A full fool proof plan to help you succeed and you’re the designer.

Step One: Visualize your goals

Open your notebook & grab a pen!

• The first thing I want you to do on a page of it’s own (keep this organized for later use) is to write down 3 of your goals, NOT YET!
• Take the time to really think about what you want in life, where do you want your path to lead? A booming business? your dream body? financial security? healthy relationships? who do you want to be or what do you want to accomplish?
• You may have 100 goals but pick your 3 most important
• Label them GOAL 1 GOAL 2 & GOAL 3 WRITE THEM BIG!! FILL YOUR PAPER

Step Two: Acknowledge the steps you need to take

• At the top of page 2 start with labeling Goal One: Write it down again.
• Below Goal One I want you to start writing down any steps you can take to put you closer to achieving this goal. Everything you can think of that you have to do to make this happen. EVEN if you already do it.
• Waking up earlier? More education? Better marketing? An hour workout a day? A change in your diet? Thinking before you speak? ANYTHING.
• Repeat this for Goals Two & Three.

Step Three: Believe

I want you to now try this mental exercise with me. Put down your pen & put your hands in your lap. Release all bad energy and loosen your neck and shoulders. Let go of any tension & BREATHE. NOW: (I’m not crazy I swear) Say to yourself out loud or in your mind… “I am strong, I have the power, I am not here to be average & I really believe I can do this.” “I believe,I believe,I believe” SAY IT UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IT.

ENVISION YOURSELF LIVING THAT LIFE YOU JUST WROTE DOWN.

When you do these exercises to really see, speak and put out into the world what you want to achieve, you are creating a vision. You are already half way there.

Step Four: Creating your new ‘Daily Routine’

“Nothing is permanent but change.”

You might be broke now, unhappy now, unhealthy now, don’t keep telling me that. Tell me what you are doing to fix it. Where you are right now is not the end, it’s just a transition. DO NOT SETTLE LIKE MOST OF THE WORLD. 40% of Americans are only one missed paycheck away from poverty. This exercise alone can fully push you into a new life. I’ve done this all myself & will ALWAYS be speaking from experience.

So, what are we adding to your daily routine that will immediately be effective towards your success & happiness. On your next page, in list form, starting with the time you need to wake up ( that may be changing) to the time you will go to sleep (will probably also change), what you will be doing & what time you will be doing it. I’m serious. I’m talking all the way down to when you eat and drink water. Mine starts at 5 am daily and it ends at 10pm. I have 3 kids in my home so does my ‘Daily Routine’ always go as planned? HELL NO… but I still have it. I know i’ll get back on track, and I know I still have the power to follow the right path. Everything is already inside of you, all of the keys, the tools, the motivation is already there, you have to wake it up. WAKE UP.

FINAL STEP: EXECUTION (DO IT.)

FOLLOW YOUR ROUTINE EVERY DAY, DON’T TRY TO. JUST DO IT!!!!! IM YELLING AT YOU! OKAY SOMETHING HAPPENS AND YOUR THIRTY MINS-AN HOUR BEHIND, BE A LITTLE TIRED TOMORROW BECAUSE YOU’LL BE GOING TO BED A LITTLE LATER. THESE ARE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO PUSH THROUGH TO GET THERE. MOST OF YOU DON’T EVEN PUT IN 100% OF YOURSELF JUST TO YOUR DAILY LIFE & IF YOU WANT TO BE TRULY SUCCESSFUL & HAPPY, YOU HAVE TO PUT 120%. BE TIRED. WASTE NO TIME. DIAMONDS GO THROUGH PRESSURE FIRST.

I REALIZE THAT MY STRENGTH IS IN MY ROUTINE. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I AM NOT AS STRONG AS I THOUGHT I WAS, SMART AS I THOUGHT I WAS, EDUCATED AS MUCH AS I COULD BE. I DIDN’T WANT IT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT I WANTED IT. YOU ARE STRUGGLING BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE A ROUTINE. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THINGS GET IN YOUR WAY AND OUT OF 365 A YEAR ONE OR TWO OR THREE ARE NOT GOING TO GO YOUR WAY. WHEN THAT HAPPENS YOU WILL STILL HAVE A VISION AND A PLAN, YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU CAN GET BACK TO IT. YOU WILL KNOW YOU ARE DOING ALL YOU CAN IN YOUR LIFE TO MAKE SURE YOU GET WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. TO BE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE. HAVING THIS SECURITY AND FEELING OF POWER IS EVERYTHING IF YOU WANT A SUCCESSFUL LIFE. CHANGE YOUR ROUTINE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU NEED TO, JUST HAVE ONE.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day today to focus on YOU & what changes you need to make to level up. I promise you will never leave this site without a better perspective. I hope you really enjoy your new 'DAILY ROUTINE' & I hope it leads you on a path full of prosperity. I love you all. TTYS XO
