How do you CELEBRATE in life? 💐🎉✨
It is sooooo important that we celebrate all milestones, small and big, as we continue on our journey.
You had a goal to ____. You achieved it!! YAY! Did you celebrate? I hope so!
Today, I accomplished a small, but important, milestone. I am now very intentional with making sure I celebrate ALL wins, so I made sure to take time to celebrate. Was it grand? No, I literally spent 3 minutes, an entire song, dancing and celebrating this win in my living room making space for the fact that this win happened and that PROGRESS happened.
Kinda nerdy, but I actually have a celebration spreadsheet! That's how committed I am to celebration!
Question: Do you celebrate your wins? How can you up your celebrating in your life?
It's also important to bring awareness to HOW we celebrate.
In the past, celebration for me meant FOOD!! 🍕🌭 Dessert, sugary stuffs 🍰🍭🍩 (yes, I wrote stuffs)! Booze!! 🍾🥂Time with friends and booze! A lot of things that were actually not that great for me...
Now, I make sure that the way that I celebrate will actually move my life forward and that it feels healthy. Rather than reach for the bottle of wine, I choose something that is in alignment with my larger life goals. 🛤️
Here's some suggestions for celebrations as you go on with your bad self: 😎 
- living room dance party to your fave song 
- singing in the car session! 
- yoga or other yummy self-loving session 
- healthy and yummy meal that will have your body feel like it's THRIVING 
- dedicated time off for SELF-CARE time (hours, days, a weekend, etc)
- have a list of things you've been wanting to experience. Have a win? Celebrate by gifting that experience to yourself! 
- hike
- walk around your neighborhood with a big smile on your face
- an adventure!
A NOTE: just make sure that your celebrations are not dependent on other people or circumstances you can't control. Making time for a dance-party by yourself for 2mins, TOTES DOABLE. Flying to Fiji to celebrate with your entire family....doable but might take more coordination!
I also recommend having different tiers for your celebration with ideas that work for YOU to celebrate yo self. 😍 
    1) smaller wins (living room dance party, or car singing at top of lungs session)
    2) bigger win (schedule time to get massage!)
    3) even bigger win (weekend away at luxury airbnb for self-care!)
    4) even bigger win (that's it, I'm buying myself my private jet!!! #GetIt)
So, do you celebrate? And, HOW do you celebrate?
Say yes if you are committed to bringing more joy to your every day by engaging in a practice of CELEBRATION!! Wooooo!! 🌸🎉✨

It's Monday Morning ... I wake up to gratitude texting accountability, goal setting accountability texts, healthy food prepped for the entire week, a hard workout that makes me SWEAT, a visualization of how I want to show up for the day and outcomes I want for my life, and dedicated thinking time. 😎🤔

This is how I start my morning, every morning. With intentionality and purpose. 🔥
Hour of Power, Morning Routine, whatever you call it, it is CRITICAL that YOU DECIDE how you are going to start your day, rather than allow the day to happen to you.

Now, I didn't always wake up to my hour of power. I used to wake up and the first thing I'd do was to tend to everyone else's needs and agendas. Wake up to text asking for something, my work email, the news, straight to work. It left me feeling rushed, unsettled, ungrounded, disconnected from my vision for how I choose to show up in the world and the sorts of outcomes I wanted for the day.

Now, my morning routine is sacred, and I can tell when I slip and don't do my morning routine. No bueno.

How about you? What sort of intentionality and purpose are you bringing to the beginning of your day? ☺️

Here are a few pointers and ideas for you to build a kickass Morning Routine that will have you thriving in your life. That is, living with your SOUL ON FIRE.

1. Wake up with a Smile on Your Face 😁😊

Start the day with a BIG smile!! It’s your one precious life. Enjoy it!! Start the day by thinking of gratitude, what you’re excited about, who you love and who loves you.
Homework: for the next 7 days, start your day by going to the mirror and for 2 mins tell yourself why you love yourself, why you’re awesome, and why you deserve all that you desire in your life!

2. Move Your Body! 🏋️‍♂️🤸‍♀️🏊‍♂️

You’ve got to move! Sweat, give your body, your beautiful temple the loving and care that it so deserves. When you sweat and move, you allow your body to get rid of toxins, stress, move icky things out of your system. It makes your brain healthier. It’ll have you in a good mood all day! And, you’ll start the day knowing you already accomplished something. It doesn’t have to be a drag, just as soon as you open your eyes, put on your workout clothes you set out the night before, and GET OUT THE DOOR. Once you’re out the door, you’ll be glad you did!

Homework: I want you to work out 5x a week, and sweat for 45mins minimum.

3. Eat To NOURISH Your Body 🥦🥑🥗

Start your day by nourishing your body intentionally! Don’t just wake up and put whatever food is in the fridge in your body, think of if that food will nourish or clog your system. Will it lead to vitality or to you lacking energy by 3pm?
Also, HYDRATE!! Most people walk around super dehydrated. Please give your body the gift of proper hydration. If your pee is yellow, you are dehydrated. Yes, I went there.

4. Choose your focus and mindset 🧠

One of my fave quotes is “stand guard at the door of your mind.” I want you to be purposeful about the beliefs and ideas that you are giving power to. Thinking about fear and what could go wrong is not very empowering -- just as easily, you can focus on all your strengths, and what you INTEND to come true on this day. Visualize your day, your week, your year. Make yourself some empowering flashcards, listen to empowering playlists or motivational messages, read your vision statement for life, BE PURPOSEFUL about how you show up everyday.

5. Three to Thrive 😎🤠

A super powerful technique that I use on the daily is the THREE TO THRIVE. Everyday commit to THREE items that MUST be done by the time you go to sleep. This makes sure you prioritize what absolutely matters, that you stay focused, and that you stay accountable to yourself. So, what are your Three to Thrive?

BONUS 🤓
Learn, baby, learn! Make it a habit, a practice to learn and to expand yourself beyond your comfort zone everyday. I start everyday by listening to an audiobook or coaching program. I am always pushing to learn more and this make me feel ALIVE. How are you making learning a daily practice?

THINGS NOT TO DO
- Look at your phone first thing in the morning! 
- Answer emails before DECIDING how you want to show up to your day 
- Do not start with food that will weigh you down
