No matter what you’re going through…
You have the power to redirect your thinking.
You can think about what you’re grateful for.
You can think about peace and love.
You can think about ideas and concepts.
You can think about your own point of view.
When times get tough, let’s look inward and change the narrative.
You’re browsing Amazon and see something you like.
* add to cart *
After you do a little shopping, you now may have a couple things in your cart.
The total price is high too.
Before going straight to check out…
Let’s go through each item again to see if you really like it.
But wait, do you need it right now?
If not, save it for later.
Then close the app. Come back tomorrow.
I literally have 55 things saved for later in my Amazon cart from doing this.
Imagine my poor wallet if bought everything I liked impulsively like I used to.
In short… have a morning routine!
Rise with the sun and start your day off with a solid morning routine.
All you have to do is pick 3 things to do right when you wake up tomorrow morning.
Below are some ideas, however feel free to get as creative as you want.
Our days are limited in time as they are. Stretch your morning by waking up earlier!
The first thing you should do in the morning is to drink at least 8 oz of water.
By stretching first thing in the morning, you are improving your brain activity, decreasing body aches and pains, and increasing your energy level throughout the day.
Brush your teeth, wash your face- it will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to attack the day!
Shower after your morning routine or workout.
Bringing your head, arms and legs where they don’t normally spend the rest of the day is a super energetic routine to kick start your day.
You’ll immediately feel fresher, lighter, and definitely more awake!
A great practice in the morning is giving thanks for another day, for those in your life (physically or spiritually), for all that you have, and all that is coming your way.
Your appreciation for life will ripple throughout your day and bring joy to yourself and those around you.
Ask the universe for blessings and be open to receiving all new opportunities that align with your goals.
Ask and you will receive.
Sit in silence and focus on eliminating all and any thoughts.
This is a time to empty your mind and get to know your true inner self.
You will awake feeling more aware with more peace of mind.
Both coffee and tea are high in antioxidants.
Avoid cream and sugar.

Everyone experiences things differently and at different times.
And all of these different experiences [good and bad] are what bring us to where we are today.
Everyone is learning and growing at different speeds.
Everyone has their own journey.
Respect that.
Bottom line: comparing yourself or your situation to someone else’s life wouldn’t be fair to that person, and it especially wouldn’t be fair to you.
Persevere and change your mindset about the way you see others who have achieved something you admire.
Use their success as new found knowledge…
Because what you are desiring can be done! You see it.
Now use that as inspiration and take action so you are able to reap the results of your own success!
Retrain your brain to focus on the positive side of healthy competition. Every time you find yourself comparing yourself to someone else:
Remember, stay focused on what you can do in the present moment.
Your good decisions are ultimately what will bring you long-term happiness.
Keep on blessing!

A great habit to implement in the morning is to drink water when you first wake up.
Ideally water is the first thing you’re drinking after a slumber (and yes, that means drinking some water before your morning cup of coffee).
Drinking water on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning has a ton of benefits…
An important one being that it helps to kick start your body after it has been resting for an extended period of time.
Some other key benefits:
A quick rehydration period first thing in the morning is a must, even if it’s a small amount.
Start your day with a hydrated, happy body!

PS – keeping yourself hydrated throughout the day is equally important! Make sure you’re sipping water during shift, at home, during your workouts – a little bit goes a long way.
