Hello you guys. Welcome back to another episode of the hawk Rol Energy Podcast.
0:18
I'm your host, Kaylee, and this is your weekly reminder that it's
0:21
a new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day
0:24
for you to become the hawk Rol Energy you want to attract. Hello you
0:28
guys, Happy Tuesday. It is June thirteenth. Why do I feel like
0:36
this year is a lying by already? Like we're already halfway through twenty twenty
0:41
three. That blows my mind saying that out loud, And yeah, I'm
0:48
just praying that the summer doesn't fly by. I feel like May just went
0:54
by so fast, and I already feel like June is going by fast.
0:56
So anyways, I always enjoy summertime, but it makes me always so sad
1:00
to see how fast it goes by. But anyways, still can't believe you're
1:04
already halfway through the year. That's crazy to me. But welcome to another
1:10
episode this week. This episode, I thought I would talk about how I
1:15
personally have a successful week. And I'm not saying that every single week is
1:19
perfect and every single week is a success, But if I were to have
1:25
a successful week, these are all the things that I would prioritize for starting
1:30
my week each day all that. So we're going to talk about that,
1:34
and we're also going to talk about how I start a new month. What
1:38
are my non negotiables when it comes to starting a brand new month, Things
1:42
that I always do that make me feel like I'm in the right headspace going
1:47
into a new month. So let's get into this episode. Okay, So
1:51
we're starting a new week this week, and I want to talk about things
1:55
that I do every single Monday, because Monday is probably my busiest day of
2:00
the week by far. Like my mom calls me and she said, okay,
2:04
like, did you want to come over today? I'm like, absolutely
2:07
not, Mother, I love you, but I do not have the time.
2:09
Mondays are craziness for me. I wake up and the day just flies
2:15
by because I'm mother, running errands, I'm doing stuff for work all that.
2:19
So Mondays are always a crap show for me. But I do strongly
2:24
believe that Mondays are the most important day of the week, and I make
2:29
sure that it's the most successful day. That way, I have everything categorized
2:34
and done on the Monday. That way my week can be successful. So
2:38
the first thing I do every single Monday morning, is I organize my schedule.
2:44
And what I mean by that is I like to plan out my entire
2:46
week, and I have a planner and I use that on a daily basis.
2:52
But I wouldn't say I use that to plan out my week. I
2:54
actually use the notes on my iPhone. So I will write out Monday,
2:59
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and I will
3:01
plan out everything that's happening this week, whether I have appointments, if I
3:06
have anything family related that I have to attend, if I have, you
3:09
know, something that I just have been needing to get done, and then
3:14
stuff when it comes to work as well. So I really prioritize my work
3:17
schedule as I work for myself, so I really need to manage. Okay,
3:22
what days am I focusing on what for filming content? What days am
3:27
I recording the podcast, editing the podcast, creating content for YouTube? All
3:32
that, there is a lot of social media channels to manage, so I
3:38
always need to make sure that I'm setting myself up for the week, knowing
3:40
what needs to get done each day in order for my work schedule to flow
3:46
properly strategically. All that. So That's what I do when it comes to
3:51
my work and appointments and all that. I also use the app on my
3:54
iPhone, the reminders, especially for appointments. I always find when I meet
4:00
with my accountant, for an example, or if I need feel my nails
4:02
done, my eyebrows done, all that doctor's appointment, I always put in
4:06
my reminders. That way, it notifies me twenty four hours in advance,
4:11
and that way I know going into the next day that I have to get
4:15
this done and it's not like something that's just thrown at me last minute.
4:18
I hate when I get thrown last minute plans. That's one thing about me
4:23
is my friends text me saying, hey, what's everyone doing tonight? Like,
4:27
obviously I'd like to try and make it a priority and spend time with
4:29
them. But I'm that kind of person where I'm like, I need like
4:32
planning ahead, Like I need to be notified ahead of time. As much
4:36
as I'd like to spend time with my girls, I am a planner and
4:40
I just need to know at least twenty four hours in advance as to what
4:45
is happening. That's just something that works for me. I feel like if
4:46
something just gets thrown at me. My whole day, my whole work schedule
4:50
just gets out of whack, and then I feel out of whack. Right,
4:54
So I'm all about planning, I'm all about scheduling. So yeah,
4:58
that's what really works for me to start my week is just making sure I
5:01
have an organized schedule and know what I have to prioritize and all that throughout
5:06
the week. When it comes to like adds for an example, like work
5:12
for me is obviously filming personal content is technically work for me, but I
5:16
also have another side to making income, which is partnering with brands, so
5:20
I have to make that a priority as well. When filming content and making
5:24
sure that you know, if there's due dates that are set for the week,
5:28
I need to make sure that I'm filming the content ahead of time and
5:30
giving myself enough time to edit the videos that need to be submitted on a
5:34
certain date. So that's kind of how I organize my work schedule, appointments,
5:41
all that. And then the next thing I do is I like to
5:44
create a workout schedule. So as you guys know, one thing that's extremely
5:48
important for me is to make sure I get movement in every single day.
5:54
I personally find moving your body every single day is so important. It really
5:58
affects my mental health if I don't move my body in some ways. So
6:01
on days where I don't really do a workout, I'll go for a walk,
6:05
and then on the days that I'm working out, obviously it's all good
6:10
in the schedule. So basically I will do the same thing as what I
6:13
did with my work and planning schedule for the week is just right, Monday,
6:16
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then
6:18
I write the days of what kind of work it's I'll be doing for each
6:21
of those days. So I always rotate between pilates, you know, long
6:26
walks, runs, spin classes, all that. So that's really how I
6:31
base that around. And then I also kind of base my workout schedule based
6:35
off my work schedule, right Like, if there's stuff that I have to
6:39
get done that you know, I'm not going to have time to do a
6:42
forty minute pilates class, Okay, well then I'm going to have to maybe
6:46
go for a walk that day, and I can go for a walk later
6:47
in the day instead of the morning. Right. I always try and get
6:50
all of my movement in early in the morning. That way I get a
6:54
workout done before I start my work day. That's just what personally works for
6:58
me. But I find create a workout schedule ahead of time just makes the
7:01
world a difference. And it also I find it holds myself accountable and keeps
7:06
myself motivated knowing that this is what I have to get done for the day.
7:10
Like if I don't schedule or plan anything, then I like I have
7:15
nothing to look forward to or motivate myself towards, if that makes sense.
7:18
So people are always like, Kille, how do you stay so motivated?
7:21
How do you stay so productive? I honestly believe that it comes with planning.
7:25
Like planning and setting these goals for yourself for the week is what's going
7:29
to motivate you to stay productive and get that stuff done. So those type
7:32
of schedules for me work best, and it's something that I strive to do
7:39
every single Monday morning. So after I've done my workout schedule, after I've
7:42
organized my entire work week and all that, I always do a food menu,
7:48
grocery list all that. I always like to go through my fridge and
7:53
my pantry just to see what do I need for dinners? What do I
7:56
need for breakfasts, lunches, all that snacks and allows me to figure out
8:01
my grocery list. I always try and make sure that I'm not overspending in
8:05
groceries. There's times where you know, I don't do that, and then
8:11
my fridge is literally overwhelmed, like with so much food, food going bad,
8:16
all that, and I hate, absolutely hate it when food goes bad
8:20
in my fridge. We don't eat it and I have to throw it out.
8:22
Obviously that's a waste of money. And it just shows that planning ahead
8:26
of time makes the world a difference and allows you to not waste money.
8:31
And yeah, I don't know. I just find it's so important to look
8:35
through your fridge before you leave to the grocery store, just to know exactly
8:39
what you need. There's been times where I just, you know, go
8:41
and just take a guess as to what we need, when the reality is
8:45
I'm sending Zach out three days later picking up the stuff that I missed,
8:48
right, So it's just important to create a grocery list and just break it
8:54
down into like produce, proteins, snacks, etc. So, yeah,
8:58
that's just some thing for me that works, and again I do that on
9:01
the notes on my phone. I do a lot of my planning through my
9:05
phone just because I'm always on it for work and all that. And I
9:07
know some people like to do it on a piece of paper. If that
9:09
works for you, great. Just for me, it works best if it's
9:13
on my phone. I can see it, it's there, it reminds me,
9:18
and that's how it works for me. And then another thing I do
9:20
is after I've broken down my produce proteins and snacks that are like staples in
9:26
our everyday meals and such like that, I'll then look at Pinterest for other
9:31
dinner inspo and then add on those ingredients to the grocery lists that will have
9:35
to pick up that we don't typically have in our pantry or our fridge.
9:39
So, for an example, some of the dinner recipes that we love to
9:43
make on a weekly basis that I always buy is like chicken wings. I'm
9:48
laughing because I find it funny. The reason why we've been doing chicken wings
9:52
is because I have been really over chicken breasts lately. You know when you
9:56
just overeat something and you're just not enjoying it anymore. That is me with
10:01
chicken breasts right now. I hate chicken breasts currently, so I've completely stopped
10:07
buying it. And I was researching different ideas as to how to include like
10:11
lean proteins into your you know, dinner recipes, lunch recipies, all that,
10:16
and I saw chicken wings as like a healthy alternative, and I'm like,
10:18
oh my goodness, like why did I never think of that? So
10:22
Zach and I got chicken wings and we've been doing it probably for two months
10:26
now. We literally just make chicken wings with sweet potato fries, like in
10:31
the air fryer, with vegetables on the side. It's the easiest dinner.
10:33
It tastes so good. We literally just put salt and pepper on the wings.
10:37
We don't even put any sauce on it, and it's just so good.
10:39
I don't know, it's just so easy. It's so good. There's
10:43
always extra for either for him or for I for lunches the next day.
10:46
So that's something that we've been doing on a weekly basis. So that's something
10:50
I know every time I go to the Gergey store, I'll pick up a
10:52
thing of chicken wings. I've been on my taco kick lately, so I
10:56
always love to make healthy taco bowls or just taco wraps. Peta pizza is
11:01
always a good one. I always just love getting peta bread and just putting
11:05
on like pizza toppings like cheese, peppers, protein, all that. I
11:09
love pizza, so if I can create a healthier way of that, I'll
11:11
just do pia pizza. I also love pasta, so we'll always try different
11:16
pasta dishes. And yeah, those are just like some of the stables I
11:18
can think of right now that we eat on a weekly basis for dinner that
11:22
I just like know that I have to pick up at the grocery store.
11:24
But one thing that Zach and I have been doing on my TikTok, and
11:28
I'm also doing it on my Instagram as well, is we're starting a healthy
11:33
dinner series where every week we try a new healthy dinner recipe. So,
11:37
if you guys follow me on Instagram, I made a question box a few
11:41
weeks ago asking you guys what was your favorite healthy dinner. And so we've
11:46
been using some of the healthy dinners that you guys make and we've been putting
11:50
it into our little series that we're doing right now, and trying different healthy
11:54
recipes, and one of the ones that we tried last week that you guys
11:58
recommended was a salmon bowl, which I think it was a famous one on
12:01
TikTok. I can't remember who made it, but it's literally just salmon in
12:07
the air fryer with basmati rice and then the toppings are like avocado, cucumbers,
12:11
carrots, with like a spicy mayo on top. It was so good,
12:16
you guys highly recommend trying it. I am not a salmon girl,
12:20
like I really don't like salmon, and I really enjoyed that. So if
12:24
you don't like salmon, I highly recommend putting salmon in the air fryer.
12:26
It was really really good. I'm trying to experiment with different proteins. I'm
12:31
very good at trying new things, but sometimes there is certain things that I'm
12:35
not a huge fan of, Like I'm not the biggest fan of seafood,
12:39
but I will try certain things if there's certain things in the recipe that are
12:43
like, like I love avocado, I love spicy mayo. Like the only
12:46
thing I didn't really like how that was the salmon. But when we made
12:50
that recipe, I enjoyed it. Because there's other things surrounding it that I
12:54
liked. So I don't know this is your sign to try new things.
12:58
I think I'm always open to trying different things, but samon is something that
13:03
I don't typically eat. But I'm really happy we tried it. I really
13:05
liked it. So we are going to be doing Greek bowls this week,
13:09
which I'm very excited about. We're doing chicken kebabs with t Zeki Dill rice
13:15
all that. I'm so super excited about it. We're actually making it tonight.
13:16
So I highly recommend going on Pinterest searching healthy dinner recipes just to give
13:22
you some inspo and try and change things up. I find it's fun to
13:26
try different dinner recipes and not stick to the same weekly staples. Like obviously,
13:30
the ones that I mentioned above were ones that we try all the time,
13:33
but I like to try different things. And yeah, this healthy dinner
13:37
series that we're doing on TikTok and Instagram has really inspired me just to keep
13:41
trying new healthy recipes. And yeah, I'm excited to keep the series going,
13:46
so make sure to follow along if you guys are interested in checking that
13:48
out. Another thing I do to set myself up for a successful week is
13:54
meal prepping. So I used to be that girl that mealpped all my lunches,
14:01
all my foods, all my green juices for the week, all that.
14:03
And don't get me wrong, I still meal prep in a specific way,
14:09
but I do not meal prep my lunches anymore since I left my corporate
14:13
job, and the reason being is that I've realized that I really don't enjoy
14:16
eating the same thing every single day for five days, like it just doesn't
14:22
work for me. And now that I work at home, I can make
14:26
anything I want during my lunch break, but I try and prep these foods
14:30
in my fridge. That way, it makes it easy inconvenient for me while
14:33
I'm here for my breakfasts in the morning, for my lunches, all that
14:37
dinners. So what I do is I wash all my fruits and vegetables,
14:43
I cut the stuff up that has to be cut up, dry it,
14:46
all that, and then I use these food storage containers that allows my fruits
14:50
and vegetables to stay fresh. I posted it on my Instagram before. They're
14:54
from Amazon. They're great, They're not that expensive, and I find it
14:56
just allows my produced stay fresher for a longer period of time. So that's
15:03
kind of what I've been doing for my meal preps. Sometimes I will prep
15:07
chicken breasts. I'll put in the oven, put salt and pepper, throw
15:11
it in the fridge, and I'll use it for like chicken salads, chicken
15:13
wraps all that. But as I said, I haven't been enjoying chicken breasts
15:18
lately, so I have not been doing that. But one recipe that I've
15:22
shared with you guys multiple times that I will meal prep probably next week,
15:26
because now that I'm thinking about I kind of forgot that this is something I
15:30
used to make all the time that I will not get sick and tired of
15:33
just because I love it so much. Is a passa salad. It always
15:37
hits during the summertime. Putting feta cheese with some like olives, tomatoes,
15:43
cucumbers, just a good Greek passa salad is my favorite thing to meal preps.
15:50
So anyways, I've shared it before in a video. It's probably the
15:52
only meal prep that I actually enjoy that I will eat for five days straight.
15:56
I don't know, just something that I can't do anymore, Like I
16:02
just can't do the same meal for five days in a week, So doing
16:04
what works for me, doing what I enjoy, and still being able to
16:08
get some meal prep in by washing the fruits and vegetables, cutting them,
16:11
prepping them all. That makes it easy to make dinner, make my lunches,
16:15
and my breakfast for the week. One thing that I still do meal
16:19
prep is my green juices for the week. I've actually had some nutritionists come
16:26
at me saying that green juices shouldn't be in your fridge for more than two
16:30
days, But then I've had other nutritionists say that you can have it up
16:34
to four to five days. So I don't really know what the exact days
16:40
or amount of days you can have these green juices fresh for I'm just doing
16:45
what works for me. At the end of the day, I'm still doing
16:48
something that's healthy for myself and I find it's working. I enjoy it.
16:55
As long as it's working, I think that's all that matters. And it
16:56
tastes good and I'm not getting sick, I think that's fine. But anyways,
17:02
I do all my grain juices in a blender. I do not use
17:04
a juicer personally. For me, I'd like to keep the pulp in the
17:11
drink, so when you use a juicer, you're removing all the fiber and
17:14
health to your grain juice by removing all that pulp. So I personally use
17:18
the blender, and my blender works really really well, to the point where
17:22
like I can't even taste the pulp in the drink, Like it just doesn't
17:26
exist. So for me, it doesn't bother me. I'm enjoying it.
17:30
And I put them in reusable bottles that I got from Amazon. They're just
17:33
like glass like bottles. I put them in the fridge and they last four
17:38
days. So I usually prep them on the Monday, and then I have
17:41
one for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and I've noticed by like
17:45
Saturday, that's when they start to go bad. You just know, based
17:48
on the taste of something, if it obviously goes bad. So that's what
17:52
works for me. I love it so so much. The recipe I will
17:55
be sharing this week on my Instagram. But it's just something I've been doing
17:59
for so long, same recipe. It works for me. I've been prepping
18:02
it for a long time, and yeah, I just like to do that
18:06
every single Monday. That way, I'm good for the week. If I
18:08
don't have the time to make green juice, because obviously there's weeks where you
18:11
know, I could be busy, it could have been gone all weekend,
18:15
I didn't have the time to get groceries all that. If I don't have
18:18
time to do during the week, I will do athletic greens or just another
18:22
green supplement and I'll drink that before breakfast. I always love to have greens
18:26
in the morning. It's just something that I like to start my day doing
18:29
that. So that's like my non negotiables for starting a new week when it
18:36
comes to starting a typical day during the week, like every day, I
18:40
start my day just moving my body. So as I mentioned, I start
18:44
my mornings with a workout. I always feel more motivated when I wake up,
18:49
change out of my pajamas, immediately into my workout clothes, get a
18:52
workout done. Boom. I already feel like, right there, I'm going
18:56
to have a good day just because I've gotten out of my pajamas, I
18:59
put it on a work out set, I've gotten the workout done. I've
19:02
already motivated myself to get done what I had to get done, if that
19:04
makes sense. So I always find just immediately changing out of my pajamas is
19:08
the best way to start my morning, because honestly, if I didn't do
19:12
that, I honestly think I'd be in my pajamas all day. Like I'm
19:15
not even over exaggerating, Like on the weekends when I, you know,
19:18
don't do a workout, I'm in my pajamas till one pm. I'm not
19:22
even over exaggerating. So I just like to do that. I find it's
19:25
the best way to start my morning. And then, as I mentioned,
19:27
I always like to have greens and a healthy breakfast. I always like to
19:32
plan out my day with my planners, so I will use a planner for
19:34
my day to day tasks just to keep myself stay on track, know what
19:41
I have to get done all that. If I don't use my planner,
19:44
I feel like my days are really out of walk. I'm just doing things
19:47
on different schedules. I don't know, I'm not in the right headspace if
19:51
I'm not writing things down and planning it out strategically and then journaling. I
19:56
always love to journal in the morning, just you know, writing my daily
19:59
afformations right, things that I'm grateful for, things that I want to get
20:02
done for the day, self care acts, all that. That's something that
20:04
I really try and prioritize every single morning. That's like a typical day for
20:08
me, and well not a day, I guess a typical way to start
20:11
my day every morning. Those are like the four things that I make my
20:15
non negotiables just to set myself up for a successful day. Okay, so
20:19
now let's talk about starting a new month. When it comes to starting a
20:25
brand new month, there's one thing that I will always make a priority no
20:30
matter what, because I am very OCD when it comes to cleaning. I
20:36
need my house to be super clean going into a new month. I don't
20:40
know why. I just feel like if my house is clean, I have
20:44
a clear mind. And yeah, I don't know like Zach is not like
20:49
that at all. I feel like Zach just, yeah, he doesn't care
20:53
if there's a bit of a mess. Like me. On the other hand,
20:56
I'm very like everything needs to be in the spot that it's supposed to
21:00
be in, very organized, and I just like my house to be very
21:03
clean. So every month I'll do a little reset, typically on the Sunday.
21:07
And every Sunday I would say I do a little reset, but I
21:12
wouldn't say I go into the extreme measures of like a five hour Sunday reset.
21:18
There's some people where I know they're deep cleaning their whole entire house.
21:21
Like, obviously I love to have a clean house, but I personally like
21:25
to break down my Sundays and do different parts of the house. Because I
21:29
have a three level home, it's definitely not you know, as small as
21:33
an apartment. It's much bigger than that. So I felt like when I
21:37
was in the apartment, it was definitely easier to do all in one day.
21:40
But because I have three levels to manage, it's definitely not easy.
21:44
I don't have a cleaning lady, nothing like that. I do it all
21:47
myself. So what I'll do is that one Sunday I'll be like, Okay,
21:51
let's just focus on the upstairs, all the bathrooms, all the rooms,
21:55
vacuuming them, cleaning the bed frame, cleaning the bedding. It adds
21:59
up, right, holding the clothes from our dirty closets, making sure everything's
22:02
in the dresser, you know, cleaning the showers, the toilets, everything
22:07
it adds up. And doing upstairs alone probably takes me and Zach two hours,
22:11
And you know what, I think that's enough personally, I don't think
22:15
we need to be spending half a day cleaning our entire house. I mean,
22:18
it's also your Sunday. You also want to rest and enjoy your Sunday
22:22
before going into a busy work week. So I try and not do more
22:25
than two to three hours of cleaning on a Sunday. I feel like that's
22:27
the maximum amount of time I'd want us to spend the time cleaning. My
22:33
parents also always ask us to go over on Sundays because we do Sunday dinners
22:36
with them, and going into the summer, I want to be able to
22:40
spend time with my family and enjoy the nice weather outside, going outside for
22:44
walks, enjoying you know, being by the pool, getting its hand,
22:47
all that. So I'm not gonna prioritize cleaning my house for five hours over
22:51
a nice sunny day. I'd rather be outside and enjoy the sunshine while at
22:55
lasts, since summer goes by so fast. So anyways, I try and
23:00
break up my Sunday resets by doing different parts of the house. And that's
23:06
what I'll do, same thing starting a new month. I'll figure out,
23:08
Okay, this Sunday, you know, last Sunday we did the whole upstairs.
23:11
Okay, I'm going to clean the whole entire main floor, scrub the
23:15
floors, dust, windeck the mirrors, all that. So that's sympically how
23:18
I break up my Sunday resets. But going into a new month, there's
23:23
just something about a clean house that just makes me feel so good going into
23:27
the month knowing that everything's clean, everything's fresh. We're starting the month off
23:33
on a high note. Okay. The second one is setting monthly goals.
23:37
You guys know that I cannot stress the importance of setting goals on a monthly
23:44
basis. It allows you to stay motivated. Like if I didn't have goals
23:48
each month, I honestly feel like I wouldn't be like where I am today
23:52
because I am very work driven. I'm in love with my career. This
23:57
is what I wanted for so long. And I say two out of the
24:00
three goals that I set for myself each month our work related goals, because
24:04
I'm very work driven. And then usually one would be a personal goal,
24:08
like just something that I need to improve on, because I always feel like
24:12
there's things that everybody can improve on, and usually that's just like personal habits
24:17
and all that. So I always like to also review what happened last month,
24:21
like what did I do that I could do better at this month,
24:23
whether it's work wise or personal habit wise. So yeah, that's what really
24:27
works for me. Every single month. I find setting goals for myself it
24:30
allows me to stay motivated and allows me to want to achieve that goal.
24:34
I don't know, like I just like I want to be able to achieve
24:38
those things for myself. And let me tell you. I need to tell
24:41
you guys something, something that I saw yesterday that I noticed and I had
24:47
to share it with you guys. So if you guys know, I'm a
24:49
big vision board girl. I've been making a vision board for probably three to
24:53
four years now. What it is is that it's a board with all these
25:00
images from pinterest of things that I aspire to achieve for myself. For twenty
25:04
twenty three and going into six months, I was like, I need to
25:10
review it. I need to see, you know, am I achieving some
25:11
of the things on my board all that, guys, I want to say,
25:17
at least fifty percent of my vision board has been completed and that blows
25:22
my mind that fifty percent of the year we're already in and then fifty percent
25:26
of my board has already been achieved. So this is why you guys need
25:30
to manifest things for yourself and do vision boards, because I'm telling you right
25:34
now, it is so real and it is so truthful. I'm not even
25:41
kidding. Like. It made me feel so proud of myself knowing that I
25:44
achieved fifty percent of the goals that I want to achieve this year already and
25:47
so reviewing it and now going into the next six months of twenty twenty three
25:51
makes me even more motivated to achieve those goals for myself. So if you
25:56
guys created a vision board, I highly recommend checking it out since we've reached
26:00
the sixth month mark and see if you have achieved, you know, fifteen
26:07
thirty percent of your vision board and see what you need to achieve the rest
26:11
of twenty twenty three. Okay, Another thing I like to do every single
26:14
month when I'm starting a new month is a little self care reset. So
26:18
I always like to do a face mask or even go get a facial eyemask.
26:22
All that I am all about a good skincare routine. You guys know
26:26
that I find a regular skincare routine is just important for your skin. But
26:33
I just also just like to prioritize self care going into a new month because
26:37
it's a perfect way just to like unwind, relax, and just like reset
26:42
yourself for the new month ahead. Okay, And then the last thing that
26:47
I like to do going into a new month is I like to plan something
26:49
I look forward to. So not every month I would say has something super
26:55
exciting to look forward to. I would think there's some months where you know,
27:00
I'm busy and booked and you know, a lot to look forward to
27:02
each month. But there's months where I'm like, there's literally nothing going on
27:06
this month, Like, what can I do to make this month more exciting?
27:08
So one thing I did was I wrote down a bunch of summer activities
27:14
that I've been wanting to do this summer. I did it in the beginning
27:17
of May or end of April. And one of the things my sister and
27:21
I have been talking about doing was going to this restaurant in Ottawa that has
27:23
like a photo booth. They have a beautiful bar, like just a beautiful
27:27
restaurant, and my sister's been wanting to go for so long, so I'm
27:30
like, you know what, let's make it date night. So we booked
27:33
a reservation for next Thursday and we're just gonna have a date night, her
27:36
and I and I'm looking forward to it. But that's something that I get
27:38
to look forward to this month because I don't really have anything too crazy happening
27:42
in June, so that's something that I'm looking forward to. But just know
27:45
that it could be the littlest thing for you to plan. It could be
27:48
like a paint night with your best friend. That's something I've been wanting to
27:52
do, is doing a paint night, and just like a wine night with
27:55
my girlfriends all at my house. There's also like painting like champagne glasses I've
27:59
seen on TikTok, which looks really fun. One thing me and my sister
28:03
like to do every summer is go get ice cream and watch the sunset at
28:07
the beach. We haven't done that yet. So there's just so many other
28:10
things to look forward to, and sometimes you know, people are booked and
28:14
busy, and so you need to plan something each month with your partner,
28:18
with your best friend, with your girlfriends, and it's just something to look
28:19
forward to and something for you to look back at. That makes that month
28:23
memorable is just doing those little activities that excites you and that makes you remember
28:29
those good times. So that's everything that I personally do when it comes to
28:33
creating a successful week for myself, a successful day starting a new month.
28:37
I will say that not every week is perfect, and nobody is perfect,
28:44
let's be real, but these are the things I strive to do every single
28:47
day, every single week, every single month in order to make me feel
28:49
like I'm going into a good month, a successful week all out. So
