Books , Podcasts, and Steps to Take
My story a little on personal growth:
I’ve always struggled with ADD throughout school and growing up. It took me 3x longer to do a task than the normal person. I got distracted SO easily- not surprising, I’m sure. But because of this I had a horrible inner dialogue, no disciple or follow through, and low self love. This lead to things that looked like- not managing my money because I thought I was “not a money person”, losing clients because my lack of disciple, and complaining rather than doing.
It wasn’t until I started reading good books like Essentialism and going to a personal growth workshop called Next Level Trainings that things started to shift and I started to not just let life happen to me rather put energy toward my dreams. I didn’t “need” those things but they helped. I believe the more we learn, the more we grow, and the more we help to evolve human kind as a whole. I started going to therapy monthly, reading instead of watching Netflix, and moving my body daily. I took control of my health by getting up at 5:30am every morning to work out with a friend because I signed up for a Triathlon that I needed to train for. And man is it hard to get up when it’s the dead of winter to go work out. But I started to understand the mentality that where my focus goes my energy flows.
That sometimes we have to do things we don’t like to get results we want and it won’t feel good all the time but with an end result in mind it’s worth it.
I now I love myself deeper than I ever have. I listen to my body. I don’t run away from hard things. I deal with my money. And I move my body every single day.
Steps for an Awakened/ Shifted life
- Set results list. 3 things you want to achieve by the end of the year. Mine are: 1 personal, 1 business, 1 health
- Write them down so you look at them every single day by your bathroom mirror and write down ONE thing you can do that day to move you towards your results
- Tell someone to have accountability or better yet have a work out buddy
- Choose to do the hard thing instead of what feels good
- Ask yourself the question “ What am I pretending not to know?”
- Deal with emotions as they come up not shove them down
- READ a book every night instead of watching Netflix
- Get around people who you want to look like and emulate their life
- Get out of your head and stay in your heart
- Move your body once a day for at least 30 mins – changes your mental game
Truths I live by:
*You can’t control anyone- only how you respond to a situation
*Loving + listening to yourself is the only way to live a full embodied awake life
*The Universe (God) is ALWAYS for you, not against you. – every break up, every failure, every “accident”. It’s all rigged in your favor
