Do This ONE Thing to Have a Good Day
If you want to change the world, start by making your bed. This is one of my favorite motivational speeches by Admiral McRaven. He is SPOT ON with this advice.


Making your bed gives you a quick win in the morning, which triggers a dopamine reward right away. This also jump-starts the serotonin domino effect, which is when you CHOOSE to do something positive, it creates positive energy that continues to grow. 


Build a simple morning routine

Your day is determined by the first few actions you take. I find when I roll out of bed and stay in my pajamas most of the day I’m less productive than when I put on my workout clothes, down to my sneakers before brewing the first cup of coffee.

Once you start adding a few good habits to your morning routine, you will find that you have more good days than bad. Let’s be honest, we all have a routine, it just might not inspire motivation. Start replacing the bad habits with good, adding a few tweaks and you’ll be surprised how much your mood improves as you get your daily DOSE


Bottom line...Make Your Bed and start your day with a WIN!!

Just a girl who finally decided to GO FOR IT!

 
My life was filled with regrets. I spent too much time in the rat race, being a stressed-out ball of anxiety living someone else’s version of my life. I would come home after work most days and crash on the couch with zero energy left. I took advice from others who didn’t know me, tried to keep up with the Jones’, living a boring life with no purpose. Somewhere along the way I lost my identity, I wore the hats of co-worker, mom, wife, etc. and forgot what brought ME joy. A turning point in my life was a quote I read from my favorite author, Terry Goodkind, “Your life is yours alone, rise up and live it!”

I set out on a journey to “find myself”, which is a little cheesy, but I came to realize that in order to be the best mom and best wife, I needed to be my best self. SELF-CARE IS NOT SELFISH. In fact, it’s just like the masks on an airplane. Put your mask on before helping others.

Everything changed when I got my head straight, started working to balance my life and started a simple daily routine that increased my energy and overall health. Almost overnight, I left the job I hated, we sold everything, moved across the country and started living our lives. My goal was to not have any regrets at the end of my short life.

Now, I work from home one block from the beach, I’m learning how to scuba, surf, and sail as we prepare to live on a boat, traveling the world, soon. We aren’t waiting for retirement when we won't be as “youthful”, we’re living our lives NOW.

I’ve put my mask on and I’m ready to help others fix their boring lives and do EXACTLY what they were created to do! I’m excited to see you live the life you are dreaming of!
