Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: howtrel Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
0:19
Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
0:22
Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day for you to become
0:24
Speaker 1: the howkerel energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:28
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to another episode. I cannot believe
0:32
Speaker 1: we are officially in the last week of September. Next
0:35
Speaker 1: week we start October, which, in my eyes, this is
0:39
Speaker 1: when the weather actually starts to change, the leaves start
0:42
Speaker 1: to change color, it really starts to feel like fall.
0:46
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just couldnot believe how time is flying by.
0:51
Speaker 1: I don't really have too many weekly updates for you guys.
0:54
Speaker 1: I really just want to jump into this episode. I
0:56
Speaker 1: did just get back from Toronto recently. If you guys
0:59
Speaker 1: follow me social media, you guys know that I was
1:01
Speaker 1: in Toronto for the Alo Yoga event, which was super fun.
1:06
Speaker 1: Met a lot of Toronto influencers that I've been following
1:09
Speaker 1: for so long, who honestly just felt like we were
1:12
Speaker 1: just like not even catching up. I don't even know,
1:15
Speaker 1: just like a long distance friend that I felt like
1:17
Speaker 1: I've known for so long, but like just kind of
1:20
Speaker 1: like seeing them in person and getting you know, a
1:23
Speaker 1: bit more of their life, I guess, in person versus
1:26
Speaker 1: just seeing what they share on social media. And oh
1:29
Speaker 1: my goodness, just so many amazing girls there. I felt
1:32
Speaker 1: like I connected with so many of them, and yeah,
1:35
Speaker 1: it was just like so fun to finally meet some
1:36
Speaker 1: of the girls in person. And they're like, you need
1:38
Speaker 1: to come to more Toronto events, and honestly I do.
1:42
Speaker 1: It's not a far commute. I get invited to a
1:44
Speaker 1: lot of Toronto events that I do say no to
1:47
Speaker 1: just because usually it doesn't really work with my schedule
1:50
Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. But it made me
1:52
Speaker 1: realize that I should say yes more to these events
1:54
Speaker 1: because it is really good just to socialize and meet
1:57
Speaker 1: people in the same industry and just obviously getting to
2:00
Speaker 1: know some influencers who are also in the space and
2:04
Speaker 1: all that, and also just like meeting you guys, like
2:06
Speaker 1: I met so many of you this weekend. I think
2:09
Speaker 1: I met like, I want to say, like eight to
2:12
Speaker 1: ten followers this weekend, which is crazy to me. And
2:15
Speaker 1: I had such a fun time meeting you guys. So
2:17
Speaker 1: if I met you, thank you so much for coming
2:19
Speaker 1: up to me or even dming me saying that you
2:21
Speaker 1: saw me but you were too nervous to say something
2:23
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, it was so nice and so refreshing
2:27
Speaker 1: to meet some of you guys in person. And I
2:29
Speaker 1: really do need to do meetups when I do travel.
2:32
Speaker 1: This weekend it was really short and quick, so I
2:34
Speaker 1: didn't really have the time to do you know, a
2:37
Speaker 1: little event. But even if it's just like a coffee
2:39
Speaker 1: and walk kind of situation of just like chatting with
2:42
Speaker 1: you guys, getting to know you, just kind of like
2:44
Speaker 1: bringing a community of women together all with similar interests
2:48
Speaker 1: and just connecting, I think is the best thing. So
2:51
Speaker 1: definitely want to do something like that in the future.
2:53
Speaker 1: So yeah, it made me realize that I need to
2:56
Speaker 1: get out more and say yes to a few more things,
3:00
Speaker 1: at least yes to the things that I want to
3:02
Speaker 1: say yes too, which we're actually going to be talking
3:04
Speaker 1: about in this episode this week, just about habits I'm
3:07
Speaker 1: sticking to this fall or rituals that I'm sticking to
3:11
Speaker 1: along with things that no longer serve me. So things
3:13
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to you know, you know, make adjustments
3:17
Speaker 1: into my lifestyle or just things that I feel like
3:20
Speaker 1: don't serve me currently in my life. So yeah, all
3:23
Speaker 1: the weekend was great. Being in Toronto was great. It
3:25
Speaker 1: was Freddy's fourth birthday, which was super great. He's officially four,
3:29
Speaker 1: which I cannot believe. My baby boy, who I got
3:32
Speaker 1: when I first started content creation is now for so
3:35
Speaker 1: wild to me. And then yeah, just kind of have
3:38
Speaker 1: a fun weekend ahead with my sister and Zach, going
3:40
Speaker 1: to have a fun little fall weekend. I feel like
3:43
Speaker 1: I have a lot of things that I want to
3:45
Speaker 1: hit on my fall bucket list, and finally things are
3:48
Speaker 1: starting to open up, like pumpkin patches and apple picking,
3:52
Speaker 1: you know, farmers market states, going for a walk in
3:55
Speaker 1: the trails with coffee like all that. Like, you know me,
3:57
Speaker 1: I just love doing that type of stuff on the weekends.
4:00
Speaker 1: And I am traveling again next week, which is wild.
4:03
Speaker 1: I cannot believe I'm leaving again and getting on another flight.
4:07
Speaker 1: I think this is officially the most I've ever traveled
4:09
Speaker 1: in a year. I thought last year was a lot,
4:11
Speaker 1: but this year was definitely a lot. I'm actually going
4:14
Speaker 1: for Zach's work, not even for me, so I really
4:17
Speaker 1: want to be there to support Zach. So I don't
4:19
Speaker 1: know if there'll be a new episode next week, I'm
4:21
Speaker 1: going to try my best to get one up. But
4:23
Speaker 1: if not, you guys know the reason that I'm actually
4:25
Speaker 1: heading to Dallas. Never been to Dallas before, but Zach's
4:29
Speaker 1: company is actually a US company. It's a huge construction
4:33
Speaker 1: company and they're doing a work retreat down there. So
4:36
Speaker 1: literally just going for Zach essentially and just going to
4:40
Speaker 1: support him. He always supports me with my travels for work,
4:44
Speaker 1: and he extended the invite out to me and wifs
4:47
Speaker 1: were invited. So I'm going to go meet some of
4:50
Speaker 1: his colleagues, get to know the team, and yeah, fully
4:53
Speaker 1: just be there to support him. So it's a very
4:56
Speaker 1: quick trip again Wednesday to Friday, and I'm crossing my
5:00
Speaker 1: fingers that that's the final trip that I go on. Again.
5:02
Speaker 1: Very grateful for all the trips that you go on,
5:04
Speaker 1: and I do love it. I just think I'm getting
5:07
Speaker 1: to the point where I'm very much wanting to stay home,
5:10
Speaker 1: and I think, honestly, for me, between like September to December,
5:15
Speaker 1: these are the months where I want to be home.
5:17
Speaker 1: Like I love being in Ottawa around this time of
5:19
Speaker 1: the year, I do think it's the time where we thrive.
5:22
Speaker 1: Like fall is amazing here, there's so much to do,
5:25
Speaker 1: there's so much to see, and then also just obviously Christmas,
5:29
Speaker 1: I'd love to decorate the house, get into cozy season. Yeah,
5:32
Speaker 1: I just don't really love to travel usually during these months,
5:35
Speaker 1: so feel like it's been busy, but again, very grateful.
5:39
Speaker 1: I'm not obviously upset about it. I just feel like
5:42
Speaker 1: I'm ready to enjoy my cozy era of being home
5:46
Speaker 1: and just really enjoying the fall season. So that's a
5:49
Speaker 1: quick little update of what's going on, and with the
5:52
Speaker 1: episode either being up or not next week due to travels,
5:56
Speaker 1: but let's get into today's episode about rich RULs and habits.
6:00
Speaker 1: I'm sticking to this fall along with things that are
6:03
Speaker 1: no longer serving me. I was actually recently inspired to
6:07
Speaker 1: do this episode because I feel like there's things that
6:11
Speaker 1: I'm always trying to kind of adapt into my lifestyle
6:16
Speaker 1: when entering a new season, but also things that I
6:20
Speaker 1: want to get rid of that I feel like I
6:22
Speaker 1: could work on because obviously no one's perfect. We're all
6:25
Speaker 1: trying to improve and become our better selves. So I
6:28
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to share like the pros of things
6:30
Speaker 1: that I'm you know, doing that make me feel good
6:33
Speaker 1: that I think, you know, would be a really good
6:35
Speaker 1: add on to your current lifestyle, but also things that
6:38
Speaker 1: I'm trying to work on or you know, no longer
6:41
Speaker 1: do in my life because it's something that might be
6:44
Speaker 1: a really bad habit that I'm just trying to break.
6:46
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how I wanted to like position
6:49
Speaker 1: this episode on. So the first thing is talking about
6:52
Speaker 1: rituals and habits. So firstly, one thing that I've been
6:55
Speaker 1: wanting to do this season is setting one to three
6:58
Speaker 1: non negotiable tasks each day. So kind of writing out
7:02
Speaker 1: maybe on your journal or your phone, and talk about
7:04
Speaker 1: three things that are your biggest priority throughout the day.
7:07
Speaker 1: Is it getting a workout in, is it going on
7:09
Speaker 1: a daily walk, is it journaling? Is it, you know,
7:12
Speaker 1: taking an hour to yourself of no phone, you want
7:16
Speaker 1: an hour of productivity of just getting shit done around
7:18
Speaker 1: the house. This is actually a new thing that I've
7:21
Speaker 1: recently added into my routine. I think I always kind
7:24
Speaker 1: of put like house chores or you know, just like
7:28
Speaker 1: things that could be done around the house on the side,
7:30
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to like my work time. You know,
7:33
Speaker 1: I work from home, So sometimes I feel like, Okay,
7:36
Speaker 1: I don't have time to do house stuff, like I
7:38
Speaker 1: just got to lock in from like nine am to
7:40
Speaker 1: five pm or whatever the case may be. But I
7:43
Speaker 1: do think it's okay obviously to take breaks and to
7:46
Speaker 1: set an hour aside to actually get things done. So
7:50
Speaker 1: I think it was my girlfriend Sidney Adams that I
7:52
Speaker 1: saw this on her YouTube video. We're mutual followers and
7:56
Speaker 1: I really just love her. She's so amazing. But anyways,
7:58
Speaker 1: she was talking about a one hour productivity hour where
8:02
Speaker 1: you just like spend an hour of your time just
8:04
Speaker 1: getting a bunch of stuff done throughout the house, and
8:06
Speaker 1: then once that hour is done, you get back to work,
8:09
Speaker 1: you get back on your grind. And I absolutely love
8:11
Speaker 1: this because I think that's something that I always just
8:13
Speaker 1: kind of like push to the side. I don't really do.
8:16
Speaker 1: So I've been kind of taking my lunch break as
8:18
Speaker 1: that hour of productivity where I'll clean up the kitchen,
8:22
Speaker 1: you know, break down boxes if I had a bunch
8:24
Speaker 1: of pr boxes come in, like cleaning up the house,
8:27
Speaker 1: putting coats back in the coat closet, folding laundry like
8:30
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, throwing laundry in the washer,
8:33
Speaker 1: like things that I just kind of ignore that I
8:35
Speaker 1: typically would do, you know, at the end of the day,
8:37
Speaker 1: and then the end of the day comes up and
8:39
Speaker 1: I'm too tired to do it, and then nothing's actually done.
8:42
Speaker 1: I'm now trying to make a one hour productivity you
8:46
Speaker 1: know thing in my current day to day lifestyle of just, yeah,
8:51
Speaker 1: having a productivity hour of getting shit done around the house.
8:54
Speaker 1: So it was very inspired by that, and that's something
8:57
Speaker 1: that I'm kind of making a non negotiable for each day.
9:00
Speaker 1: But I think everybody's going to have different non negotiables.
9:02
Speaker 1: It could be also things that might not be personal.
9:05
Speaker 1: It might be more so, you know, things that you
9:07
Speaker 1: want to do for work. Maybe there's certain things in
9:10
Speaker 1: your day to day task with work that you want
9:12
Speaker 1: to make a non negotiable for each day. Or if
9:15
Speaker 1: you're in school and you know you want to make
9:17
Speaker 1: an hour of studying a priority every single day, that's
9:20
Speaker 1: something that you do that you would make a non negotiable.
9:23
Speaker 1: So it could be really anything that you're focusing on
9:26
Speaker 1: or you're locking in for for these next few weeks.
9:29
Speaker 1: So set one to three non negotiables each day, and
9:32
Speaker 1: I think this will allow you to really reach your
9:35
Speaker 1: goals and just also stick to habits that you maybe
9:38
Speaker 1: have been contemplating on doing. Like if you set a
9:41
Speaker 1: non negotiable of walking every single day, it's eventually going
9:44
Speaker 1: to become such a habit and such an easy thing
9:46
Speaker 1: to do, and you're going to be consistent with it.
9:49
Speaker 1: And yeah, so I walk forty minutes every single day,
9:52
Speaker 1: usually go either in the morning or in the afternoon,
9:54
Speaker 1: or sometimes twice a day. And I make that a
9:57
Speaker 1: non negotiable in my routine. Get outside, get some share,
10:00
Speaker 1: get some movement in. There's so many benefits to it,
10:02
Speaker 1: but you guys, get the gist. But definitely set aside
10:05
Speaker 1: one to three non negotiables each day. Another thing that
10:08
Speaker 1: I've wanted to bring into this new season is weekly
10:12
Speaker 1: self audits, meaning that every Sunday, something that I do
10:16
Speaker 1: is I kind of create my vision for how this
10:20
Speaker 1: week is going to look or reevaluate things that didn't
10:24
Speaker 1: work out last week. So what I mean by that
10:27
Speaker 1: is maybe you're going through a transition where you're, you know,
10:31
Speaker 1: creating a new routine for yourself or a new schedule
10:33
Speaker 1: for yourself going into a new season. Maybe your work
10:36
Speaker 1: hours have changed, or maybe you know, you just started
10:39
Speaker 1: back up at school and you know things are completely
10:42
Speaker 1: different and you're trying to create a routine for yourself.
10:45
Speaker 1: This is where you're going to kind of re evaluate
10:47
Speaker 1: yourself every single week. Okay, are things working? Are things not? Like?
10:51
Speaker 1: What isn't working? So you know, taking it day by
10:54
Speaker 1: day or week by week kind of seeing. Okay, so
10:57
Speaker 1: I started this new routine of going back to school,
10:59
Speaker 1: and I've been working out on my lunch break, you know,
11:02
Speaker 1: walking after dinner or whatever, and maybe you weren't consistent
11:06
Speaker 1: with your walks after dinner throughout that week. So okay,
11:09
Speaker 1: going into this week, I'm going to actually change up
11:11
Speaker 1: my routine and try something different because I personally felt
11:13
Speaker 1: like it wasn't working for me. I wasn't staying consistent
11:15
Speaker 1: with it. I want to make some changes. So reevaluating
11:18
Speaker 1: your routine going into a new season is so important
11:21
Speaker 1: because when you reevaluate these things and you realize that
11:24
Speaker 1: it's not working out, and then when you create a
11:26
Speaker 1: different type of routine for yourself that you're actually consistent with,
11:30
Speaker 1: it becomes easier. It doesn't feel like you're forcing yourself
11:34
Speaker 1: to do it. It just becomes a habit and you
11:36
Speaker 1: become more consistent with it, so it just becomes easy.
11:39
Speaker 1: I also think it's important to do these self audits
11:42
Speaker 1: because it allows you to also figure out what is
11:44
Speaker 1: your main focus for the week. So is there a
11:47
Speaker 1: specific task that you wanted to focus on this week,
11:49
Speaker 1: or you know, maybe something personal, like you want to
11:53
Speaker 1: go to Pilate's three times a week, or you want
11:55
Speaker 1: to try a new workout class that you know you've
11:58
Speaker 1: been contemplating on going for so long. That one is
12:01
Speaker 1: a huge one for me. So I've been going back
12:04
Speaker 1: and forth, and to be fully transparent, I've canceled plans
12:07
Speaker 1: on it. I don't know why I'm getting so on
12:08
Speaker 1: my head about it, but I have not done weightlifting
12:11
Speaker 1: in like five years, Okay, it's been a long time.
12:13
Speaker 1: I've been trying to get back into it here at
12:15
Speaker 1: the house because we have a gym in the basement,
12:17
Speaker 1: so I've been using that to kind of like prepare
12:20
Speaker 1: myself to get to a class, because let's be honest,
12:23
Speaker 1: like going to a gym can sometimes feel intimidating, and like,
12:27
Speaker 1: I don't know, I prefer being in like an all
12:29
Speaker 1: female gym. I don't really like being with the male.
12:32
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is something that I feel, I
12:35
Speaker 1: guess when I'm in a workout class. But I'm trying
12:37
Speaker 1: to like build up the courage to go to this
12:39
Speaker 1: weightlifting class and I think I'm finally going to go
12:41
Speaker 1: this Friday. I have plans booked, and I'm just like,
12:45
Speaker 1: you know what, you just got to do it. You
12:46
Speaker 1: just got to break this you know, pattern of like
12:49
Speaker 1: feeling like you don't want to do it. And we're
12:52
Speaker 1: going to talk about something that I'm trying to let go,
12:54
Speaker 1: which is about comfort zones. But you know, that's a
12:57
Speaker 1: big focus for me this week is to make a
13:00
Speaker 1: priority by focusing on going to this weightlifting class and
13:04
Speaker 1: changing up my workout routine by going, because it allows
13:07
Speaker 1: me to realize if I like it or not, and
13:09
Speaker 1: if I did like it, okay, it opens the door
13:12
Speaker 1: to creating a new thing into my workout routine. And again,
13:16
Speaker 1: it's about just kind of like putting your focus towards
13:19
Speaker 1: things that are a priority, or what do I want
13:21
Speaker 1: to focus my content on this week? Is there big
13:24
Speaker 1: things that are happening this week that I really want
13:26
Speaker 1: to focus my content creation on, filming on whatever the
13:28
Speaker 1: case may be do I want to put more focus
13:30
Speaker 1: on my YouTube channel TikTok whatever. So doing weekly self
13:33
Speaker 1: audits is so important. It just allows you to really
13:36
Speaker 1: just make sure that you're focusing on the things that
13:38
Speaker 1: you want to focus on and allows you to put
13:40
Speaker 1: all your energy towards those things, and also just yeah,
13:44
Speaker 1: kind of making sure that you've established a good routine
13:47
Speaker 1: for yourself. And eventually it's just going to feel so
13:50
Speaker 1: good going into each week knowing that you did these
13:52
Speaker 1: self audits and yeah, you feel good about your routine,
13:56
Speaker 1: You feel good about your work. Another thing that I'm
13:58
Speaker 1: sticking to this ball is decluttering my space so kind
14:02
Speaker 1: of like a fall reset in a way. I always
14:04
Speaker 1: feel so much better when I organize my space going
14:07
Speaker 1: into a new season. I feel like, you know, I
14:10
Speaker 1: always want to just like go through my wardrobe see
14:14
Speaker 1: what I'm not wearing. There's definitely things that I've had
14:16
Speaker 1: in my wardrobe for probably two to three years, which
14:18
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't wear this anymore. There's some things
14:21
Speaker 1: that I've had for two to three years that I
14:22
Speaker 1: still love to this day. But there's definitely some things
14:24
Speaker 1: that I have maybe purchased that honestly no longer serve me.
14:28
Speaker 1: I don't wear it's not you know, my style anymore
14:30
Speaker 1: or whatever. So that's another thing. As you age, I
14:33
Speaker 1: think your style kind of evolves as well. So definitely
14:36
Speaker 1: wanting to do a huge closet reset. My goal is
14:39
Speaker 1: to do it this week, but we shall see if
14:41
Speaker 1: we have the time. If not, it will definitely be
14:43
Speaker 1: a priority for October. But I think it's so important
14:46
Speaker 1: to just find areas in your home to declutter your space.
14:49
Speaker 1: It just makes you feel like, you know, you're going
14:51
Speaker 1: into a new season with a fresh mindset. You kind
14:54
Speaker 1: of got rid of the old bringing in the new.
14:56
Speaker 1: Next one is dedicating thirty minutes of re relaxation. This
15:01
Speaker 1: is something that I'm currently working on, but knowing how
15:04
Speaker 1: important it is to do this into my current routine.
15:08
Speaker 1: You know, maybe it's thirty minutes in the morning where
15:11
Speaker 1: you want to read and just kind of a slow
15:13
Speaker 1: morning with the fireplace on. Or maybe it's a nighttime
15:17
Speaker 1: routine where you want to have a tee, take thirty
15:20
Speaker 1: minutes of no phone time and just you know, maybe
15:23
Speaker 1: getting out your red light therapy mask and just kind
15:26
Speaker 1: of you know, journaling or whatever the case may be.
15:29
Speaker 1: Like you want to take thirty minutes to yourself of
15:31
Speaker 1: just complete relaxation, no stress, nothing to think about for work,
15:34
Speaker 1: anything like that. I think it's important to force ourselves
15:38
Speaker 1: to relax each day because I've realized that if I
15:42
Speaker 1: overdo it, and I overwork and I don't give myself
15:45
Speaker 1: that thirty minutes to an hour of a break and
15:48
Speaker 1: just relax time, I'm going to feel so burnt out,
15:50
Speaker 1: and then for the rest of the week, I am
15:53
Speaker 1: not going to feel productive throughout the day. I'm gonna
15:55
Speaker 1: feel tired, I'm going to feel overworked. So I think
15:57
Speaker 1: it's really really key to at least dedicate thirty minutes
16:01
Speaker 1: into your morning, into your lunch break, into your evening,
16:04
Speaker 1: to just take thirty minutes to yourself truly just enjoy
16:08
Speaker 1: some downtime. Figure out something that makes you relax. Maybe
16:11
Speaker 1: it's meditation, maybe it's taking a nap, I don't know,
16:14
Speaker 1: like figuring out ways to just like really disconnect yourself
16:18
Speaker 1: from your job or from school and just really focus
16:21
Speaker 1: on unwinding and relaxing. Because I think you guys are
16:24
Speaker 1: going to realize how important it is to take that
16:27
Speaker 1: thirty minutes to yourself and how productive you'll actually feel
16:31
Speaker 1: throughout the rest of the week by kind of like
16:33
Speaker 1: forcing yourself to unwind and know that you'll have a
16:36
Speaker 1: productive week ahead. Another thing I'm doing for my rituals
16:40
Speaker 1: this fall is I've been reevaluating my eating habits. If
16:44
Speaker 1: you follow me on TikTok, you may have seen this
16:46
Speaker 1: video already, but I've been talking about doing a food reset. Essentially.
16:49
Speaker 1: What that means is I'm basically changing everything that I'm eating.
16:53
Speaker 1: I feel like this summer was very busy, very busy
16:57
Speaker 1: with work. I was traveling a lot, and I just
16:59
Speaker 1: feel like I've been very inconsistent with my eating habits.
17:02
Speaker 1: I think I get a little lazy sometimes. You know,
17:05
Speaker 1: I've never really been good at making good lunches. I
17:08
Speaker 1: think I just open my fridge take whatever is really
17:11
Speaker 1: easy to do, usually like eggs or sour dough bread.
17:14
Speaker 1: Just again not really paying attention to the nutrients of
17:18
Speaker 1: what's in my foods, how high the protein is all that.
17:21
Speaker 1: And I'm not that type of diet person at all. Okay,
17:24
Speaker 1: I do not follow any strict diets or anything. I
17:26
Speaker 1: strive to eat high protein and I try and eat
17:29
Speaker 1: as clean as possible, just because That's what I love,
17:32
Speaker 1: you know, trying to avoid any added sugars, try and
17:34
Speaker 1: eat natural sugars all that. But I am not on
17:37
Speaker 1: any specific diet, and if I'm going out with my
17:39
Speaker 1: friends on a Friday night, I'm going to enjoy a
17:41
Speaker 1: pizza or a glass of wine or margarita. Like very
17:44
Speaker 1: much all about balance, but I do want to prioritize
17:49
Speaker 1: my eating habits and my meals and all that. So
17:52
Speaker 1: I decided to challenge myself and try different meals that
17:55
Speaker 1: I've seen on TikTok of other creators who were sharing
17:59
Speaker 1: healthy recipes for what they were eating for lunch, dinner,
18:02
Speaker 1: and breakfast. I'm changing out my breakfast, I'm changing out
18:05
Speaker 1: my lunches, my dinners, you know, doing a bit of
18:07
Speaker 1: meal prepping that way. I have lunches throughout the week.
18:10
Speaker 1: So I'm just completely doing a little bit of a
18:11
Speaker 1: food reset. And it was so refreshing to do that.
18:15
Speaker 1: I'm already day three into it, and I love everything
18:18
Speaker 1: about it. I'm feeling so good, I'm feeling so energized.
18:21
Speaker 1: I feel like I've definitely just you know, avoided buying
18:24
Speaker 1: certain things that I would typically buy. Like there's some
18:27
Speaker 1: desserts that I would typically buy that I'm like, I'm
18:30
Speaker 1: not buying that this week. Like, it's actually really hard
18:32
Speaker 1: to realize like these habits that you were so obsessed
18:35
Speaker 1: with for so long. So it's been hard, but I
18:38
Speaker 1: know it's going to be so worth it after doing
18:40
Speaker 1: it for a period of time. Again, all about consistency,
18:43
Speaker 1: all about breaking the bad habits. So yeah, just trying
18:47
Speaker 1: to eat more nutritious meals. And I've also been trying
18:51
Speaker 1: to find like really good fall recipes that I'm gonna
18:53
Speaker 1: do a little Fall series that I'll share with you
18:55
Speaker 1: guys that are all high protein, So things like white
18:58
Speaker 1: chicken chili, maybe some chicken noodle soup, different types of soups.
19:03
Speaker 1: You know. We had a sweet potato broccoli chicken kind
19:08
Speaker 1: of like harvest one sheet pan dinner, and we topped
19:11
Speaker 1: it off with hot honey, and then we also added
19:14
Speaker 1: balsamic glaze on top, and it very much tasted like fall.
19:17
Speaker 1: To make it more Fall inspired, I could add butternut
19:20
Speaker 1: squash or maybe even do some Brussels sprouts. But anyways,
19:23
Speaker 1: the point is is that I'm trying to make these
19:25
Speaker 1: fall recipes in a healthy and high protein way. For
19:29
Speaker 1: myself that makes it feel exciting, trying something new, trying
19:32
Speaker 1: new recipes. I'm all about that, as you guys know.
19:34
Speaker 1: So just been reevaluating my eating habits, and I think
19:37
Speaker 1: this is something that I wanted to talk about because
19:39
Speaker 1: if anyone's out there that's kind of going through the
19:41
Speaker 1: same thing where you feel like you've been in a
19:43
Speaker 1: rut with your meals, or you feel like you've just
19:46
Speaker 1: been kind of eating unhealthy and haven't really been on track,
19:49
Speaker 1: this is your sign to get back on track and
19:51
Speaker 1: lock in for the new season, because eating clean truly
19:55
Speaker 1: does make you feel your best self, and I think
19:58
Speaker 1: it's just something that we all consider doing if we're
20:01
Speaker 1: wanting to get back into a healthy routine. Another ritual
20:05
Speaker 1: or habit that I'm trying to do this fall is
20:08
Speaker 1: making my weekends a priority to spend time with friends, family,
20:13
Speaker 1: my husband, doing fun fall activities that are on my
20:16
Speaker 1: fall bucket list. So I'm really trying to obviously hit
20:18
Speaker 1: as much as i can off that list, So going
20:21
Speaker 1: to pumpkin patches, getting coffee with a friend, maybe catching up,
20:24
Speaker 1: going on a nature walk in the trails, even if
20:26
Speaker 1: it's just having a cozy fall night at home with
20:29
Speaker 1: a girlfriend, with maybe baking in a movie, Just trying
20:32
Speaker 1: to really prioritize things to do for this season. Because
20:36
Speaker 1: fall is short, it does go by quick. I feel
20:38
Speaker 1: like as soon as November hits, everyone's talking about Christmas,
20:41
Speaker 1: everyone's prepping for the holidays. Works very chaotic for me.
20:44
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I need to just lock in for
20:47
Speaker 1: these next three to four weeks of just really enjoying
20:51
Speaker 1: all the fall activities, everything that makes me happy going
20:54
Speaker 1: into the fall season. And yeah, just planning a bunch
20:58
Speaker 1: of fall dates with friends and family. And then lastly,
21:00
Speaker 1: when it comes to ritual in habits that I think
21:03
Speaker 1: is important to take into fall is doing a vision
21:07
Speaker 1: board reflection. When was the last time that you looked
21:10
Speaker 1: at your vision board? Okay, let's be honest. We have
21:12
Speaker 1: it on our laptops as our screen saver, or we
21:15
Speaker 1: have it on our phone, but when was the last
21:16
Speaker 1: time you actually took a deep dive and looked at
21:19
Speaker 1: every aspect. Or maybe you have a physical vision board
21:22
Speaker 1: in your bedroom and it's just been there, sitting there.
21:24
Speaker 1: And of course we constantly see it when we're on
21:27
Speaker 1: our phones or laptops or in our room, but when
21:30
Speaker 1: was the last time you actually took a deep dive
21:31
Speaker 1: and examined the goals that you've been wanting to achieve
21:34
Speaker 1: for yourself. We are officially what three to four months
21:38
Speaker 1: out till the end of this year. This is your
21:40
Speaker 1: time to really lock in and make sure that you're
21:42
Speaker 1: actually on track for reaching those goals that you wanted
21:45
Speaker 1: to achieve for yourself. Maybe there's a big goal or
21:48
Speaker 1: big project that was on your vision board that you
21:51
Speaker 1: haven't even started yet. This is the time to kind
21:53
Speaker 1: of re evaluate, Okay, what am I going to do
21:56
Speaker 1: to maybe get this project started or get this you know,
21:59
Speaker 1: big goal completed. So kind of reevaluating it I think
22:03
Speaker 1: is important, kind of like reevaluating each week of what
22:06
Speaker 1: your focus is for each week. I think it's important
22:08
Speaker 1: to also do your vision board check in just making
22:11
Speaker 1: sure that the goals you've been wanting to achieve are
22:14
Speaker 1: you achieving goals. It also makes you realize how good
22:16
Speaker 1: it feels to know how many goals you've achieved this
22:19
Speaker 1: year so far. But then it also allows you to
22:21
Speaker 1: kind of focus on the ones that you want to
22:23
Speaker 1: achieve before the end of the year, and how are
22:26
Speaker 1: you going to get there? How are you going to
22:27
Speaker 1: get to that completed goal in that big project that
22:30
Speaker 1: you wanted to get done before the end of the year.
22:32
Speaker 1: So reevaluate it. It's going to make you feel so
22:35
Speaker 1: good ending off the year with something that you really
22:37
Speaker 1: wanted to complete for yourself. Okay, So now let's talk
22:40
Speaker 1: about releasing what no longer serves you. So here are
22:44
Speaker 1: some things that I'm personally trying to get out of
22:47
Speaker 1: my life in terms of just like, you know, things
22:49
Speaker 1: that I kind of, I don't know, have a bad
22:51
Speaker 1: habit of doing, and I just want to break it.
22:55
Speaker 1: I want to get past it. I want to move
22:57
Speaker 1: on from it. It's just it's no longer something that
22:59
Speaker 1: I want to mentally think about. So first one being
23:03
Speaker 1: perfectionism that keeps you from taking action. This one is
23:08
Speaker 1: something I'm very much working on. I think being in
23:11
Speaker 1: the social media space and you know, having to put
23:14
Speaker 1: myself on camera all the time, literally all the time,
23:18
Speaker 1: there is days where I'm like, I do not want
23:20
Speaker 1: to be on the camera. I just like want to
23:22
Speaker 1: be to myself. I don't want to do my makeup,
23:23
Speaker 1: I don't want to get ready all that. But I
23:25
Speaker 1: think it's important that people see that side of me
23:28
Speaker 1: because I don't need to do my makeup every single day.
23:31
Speaker 1: I don't need to put on the cutest outfit every
23:32
Speaker 1: single day. Like it's important to show both sides to
23:34
Speaker 1: yourself because I am a normal human being, Like I
23:37
Speaker 1: am not that kind of person that wants to do
23:39
Speaker 1: my makeup every single day or work out every single day,
23:42
Speaker 1: Like I strive to do those things, but I think
23:44
Speaker 1: it's important to kind of just allow myself to show
23:49
Speaker 1: the bad sides too, where you know, I don't want
23:52
Speaker 1: to do a house reset or the house is a
23:54
Speaker 1: mess or whatever. Right, So I'm trying to not think that,
23:59
Speaker 1: you know, I need to show every aspect of my
24:01
Speaker 1: life being perfect because it's not. And I try to
24:05
Speaker 1: make sure that I don't portray that I have this
24:07
Speaker 1: perfect life because, let's be honest, social media is strictly
24:11
Speaker 1: a highlight reel. It is truly just things that you
24:14
Speaker 1: want to share that make you feel good. Of course,
24:16
Speaker 1: nobody always wants to share things that they might be
24:19
Speaker 1: going through personally, Like I've talked about here on the
24:21
Speaker 1: podcast many times, but like I have really bad anxiety,
24:23
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I think I have a bit of
24:25
Speaker 1: social anxiety where I don't want to leave the house
24:28
Speaker 1: too much and I like to stay in the house
24:29
Speaker 1: and whatever, always working on things. But again, I'm not perfect,
24:33
Speaker 1: and I know I'm not perfect, and I think I
24:35
Speaker 1: just need to realize that it's okay to not always
24:38
Speaker 1: feel perfect. And I want to make you guys realize
24:40
Speaker 1: that you don't always have to feel perfect as well.
24:43
Speaker 1: Another thing is comparing myself to others on social media.
24:47
Speaker 1: I always used to do this, always, always, always. I
24:51
Speaker 1: think it's something that is the reality. I think a
24:53
Speaker 1: lot of people compare themselves to other people, but everyone
24:57
Speaker 1: has their own struggles. Again, social media is a highlight reel.
25:00
Speaker 1: It just shows the good moments. It's important to know
25:02
Speaker 1: that everybody's in the same boat. Everyone's going through struggles.
25:05
Speaker 1: There's no one that's going through a life right now
25:08
Speaker 1: where they think everything is picture perfect and you know,
25:12
Speaker 1: everything just feels, you know, I don't know, just like perfect.
25:16
Speaker 1: But everyone is going through some positive moments and some
25:19
Speaker 1: negative moments in our life. And I think that's the
25:21
Speaker 1: most important thing to realize, is that everyone has bad
25:25
Speaker 1: days and good days. And also, like comparing ourselves physically,
25:28
Speaker 1: like I think you need to just focus on your
25:31
Speaker 1: own beauty and not focus on someone else's and figure
25:33
Speaker 1: out things that define you. And I don't know, just
25:37
Speaker 1: always dress for yourself, feel good for yourself, don't ever
25:40
Speaker 1: compare yourself to someone else. So that is something that
25:43
Speaker 1: I feel like I used to do so bad. I
25:44
Speaker 1: definitely move past this a lot within the past few
25:47
Speaker 1: years of doing social media, but I just kind of
25:50
Speaker 1: like a little gentle reminder of like, do not compare
25:52
Speaker 1: yourself to someone else, because you are so unique and
25:56
Speaker 1: so beautiful in your own way that you do not
25:58
Speaker 1: need to compare yourself to someone else. Another thing that
26:00
Speaker 1: no longer serves me is guilt for saying no to plans.
26:05
Speaker 1: This completely changed my life. I want to say last
26:08
Speaker 1: year was probably the first year where I really tried
26:10
Speaker 1: to focus on saying no to things, because I have
26:15
Speaker 1: regretted it so many times where I've said yes to
26:17
Speaker 1: plans because I thought, oh, I'm gonna have fomo if
26:20
Speaker 1: I don't go, like I gotta go, like all my
26:21
Speaker 1: friends are going whatever. I show up to this event
26:24
Speaker 1: or night out whatever, and I'm like, why am I here?
26:27
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to be here, you know, None
26:29
Speaker 1: of this just fills my cup like I'm not enjoying
26:32
Speaker 1: my time here, Like why am I forcing myself to
26:34
Speaker 1: do something that I don't even want to do. So
26:37
Speaker 1: saying no to certain plans that I personally don't want
26:40
Speaker 1: to do has completely changed my life. I don't feel fomo.
26:44
Speaker 1: I actually don't want to go out to a bar
26:46
Speaker 1: and get drunk till three o'clock in the morning. I
26:48
Speaker 1: would rather sleep in my bed by you know, eleven PM,
26:52
Speaker 1: watch Netflix with my husband, wake up Sunday morning feeling energized,
26:57
Speaker 1: feeling productive, wanting to you know, go get a cop
27:00
Speaker 1: with my husband, clean up the house, get some stuff
27:02
Speaker 1: done around the house, like I would rather that, then
27:05
Speaker 1: go on a Saturday night, go out with friends that
27:08
Speaker 1: maybe I didn't want to do, wake up the next
27:10
Speaker 1: morning feeling hungover, not feeling productive whatsoever, not doing anything
27:14
Speaker 1: around the house, and then oh, going into my Monday
27:17
Speaker 1: with again not feeling prepared at all. So it is
27:21
Speaker 1: so life changing to say no to things that you
27:24
Speaker 1: actually don't want to do. If you want to go
27:26
Speaker 1: to that bar, go to the bar. If that's what
27:28
Speaker 1: you want to do, do it. If you don't, it's
27:31
Speaker 1: okay to say no. So just remember that, say yes
27:34
Speaker 1: to things that you think are worth it, say no
27:36
Speaker 1: to things that you feel like you're going to regret,
27:38
Speaker 1: because we don't want to force anything. Nobody needs to
27:41
Speaker 1: feel the fomo no. Just get that out of your head.
27:44
Speaker 1: Fomo does not exist. I feel like once you start
27:47
Speaker 1: saying no to things and start saying yes to things
27:49
Speaker 1: that you actually want to do and not to things
27:51
Speaker 1: that you don't want to do, you'll just realize how
27:53
Speaker 1: worth that it is. And I don't know, just like
27:55
Speaker 1: realizing things that you want to say yes to and
27:57
Speaker 1: things that you want to say no to is just
27:59
Speaker 1: the best feeling. The next one is old versions of
28:01
Speaker 1: yourself you feel pressured to live up to. I wouldn't
28:04
Speaker 1: say that like I miss the person that I was
28:08
Speaker 1: back in college, where I was drinking a lot, I
28:10
Speaker 1: was partying a lot, like just living a completely different
28:13
Speaker 1: lifestyle than what I live now. But you know, sometimes
28:15
Speaker 1: I feel like, oh, like do my friends they give
28:18
Speaker 1: me differently now because I'm not that same person, right Like,
28:22
Speaker 1: obviously you know I have a job now where I
28:24
Speaker 1: feel like I've definitely prioritized that more than you know.
28:27
Speaker 1: Back in the day in college, my priority was not
28:29
Speaker 1: that it was basically just partying and having fun with friends.
28:33
Speaker 1: So sometimes I'm like, oh, like, do they think that
28:38
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not fun anymore because I rarely go out?
28:41
Speaker 1: Or you know, sometimes I think, you know, should I
28:44
Speaker 1: be a combination of both, like living this healthy lifestyle
28:47
Speaker 1: but also being like the party girl that I used
28:50
Speaker 1: to be. But I think it's important to not feel
28:54
Speaker 1: guilty or feel like you're being less fun because you're
28:57
Speaker 1: not into those old habits anymore. I think, obviously, like
29:01
Speaker 1: your priorities and your life's circumstances change as you get older,
29:05
Speaker 1: and it's important to surround yourself with people who either
29:08
Speaker 1: are going to accept that, or people who have similar
29:11
Speaker 1: interests like that where they love working out and they
29:13
Speaker 1: love having chill girl nights, birds going to the bar
29:16
Speaker 1: every single night and drinking. Like at the end of
29:18
Speaker 1: the day, we all grow up, we all change, and
29:21
Speaker 1: I feel like I've changed for the better for sure.
29:23
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I used to drink, not work out,
29:26
Speaker 1: not eat healthy, like I did not care about any
29:28
Speaker 1: of that, whereas now I solely focus on my health.
29:32
Speaker 1: I solely focus on just like doing things that I
29:35
Speaker 1: love doing. If I want to go out, great, if
29:36
Speaker 1: I don't want to go out. I'm a stay home
29:39
Speaker 1: and I'm a chill night with my husband. Like I like,
29:42
Speaker 1: don't miss that version of myself at all, But there
29:45
Speaker 1: is this sense of pressure where I feel like sometimes
29:47
Speaker 1: I'm like, do people think I'm less fun because I
29:49
Speaker 1: don't really like to go out anymore? Or I don't
29:51
Speaker 1: really drink that much anymore. But again, I think as
29:54
Speaker 1: long as you're with people who accept that and they
29:57
Speaker 1: are okay with you doing that and that they I
30:00
Speaker 1: think it's good that you're able to realize that that's
30:04
Speaker 1: not something that serves you and that's not something you
30:06
Speaker 1: want in your life. As long as they can support
30:08
Speaker 1: you through that, I think that's good people to surround
30:11
Speaker 1: yourself with. But I also think it's important to surround
30:14
Speaker 1: yourself with people who also are like that, where they
30:17
Speaker 1: want to do workouts, they want to live a healthy lifestyle,
30:19
Speaker 1: they want to go on walks with you. Like one
30:20
Speaker 1: of my girlfriends who I've gotten super super close with,
30:23
Speaker 1: to be honest, like we've known each other for years.
30:26
Speaker 1: Looking back, maybe five or six years ago, we were
30:28
Speaker 1: not that close, Like, you know, we would go to
30:31
Speaker 1: parties together, you know, catch up always have a good time,
30:34
Speaker 1: but it was always at parties, like things that were
30:36
Speaker 1: kind of pointless, like nothing really that mattered. But now
30:39
Speaker 1: we go on weekly walks together. We walk every single
30:42
Speaker 1: Friday for an hour, get our steps in, just catch
30:45
Speaker 1: up about work, life, whatever, and we've become so close
30:49
Speaker 1: and it's just something that we both love doing and
30:52
Speaker 1: it's something that we make a priority within our week
30:54
Speaker 1: to catch up. And yeah, just kind of goes to
30:57
Speaker 1: show that, like it's nice that like a friend is
31:01
Speaker 1: also within the same type of lifestyle as me, where
31:04
Speaker 1: like she wants to get her steps and she wants
31:05
Speaker 1: to get a daily walk in, she wants to catch
31:07
Speaker 1: up in that sense instead of going out to the
31:09
Speaker 1: bar and getting drinks in order to catch up. It's
31:11
Speaker 1: nice how you still have friends that also feel like
31:15
Speaker 1: it's important to like make changes in a better way
31:17
Speaker 1: and that as we age, things change and that you
31:20
Speaker 1: don't have to do the old things that you used
31:22
Speaker 1: to that you could do new things together and still
31:25
Speaker 1: enjoy the company of those people. The last one that
31:28
Speaker 1: I kind of mentioned in the beginning when it comes
31:30
Speaker 1: to things that no longer serve me, is staying in
31:33
Speaker 1: your comfort zone because it's in quotations safe. This is
31:38
Speaker 1: something that I've been currently struggling with. And you know,
31:40
Speaker 1: I talk about the workout like I'm uncomfortable of trying
31:44
Speaker 1: a new workout class. I'm in a comfort zone where
31:46
Speaker 1: I love pilates, I love going to a hot mat class,
31:49
Speaker 1: and for some reason, you know, getting out of that
31:52
Speaker 1: comfort zone of going to a workout class makes me
31:54
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable. So I'm trying to break that comfort zone
31:58
Speaker 1: of just like trying something new, because what if I
32:02
Speaker 1: try it and I love it and then it's like, Wow,
32:04
Speaker 1: why didn't I try this sooner? Like you kind of
32:06
Speaker 1: got to make some changes in order to grow and
32:08
Speaker 1: in order to see you know, the potential of loving
32:11
Speaker 1: something else. And it also kind of goes with the
32:14
Speaker 1: point of changing your life when it comes to thinking
32:17
Speaker 1: about having kids, Like this is obviously something that Zach
32:20
Speaker 1: and I are in this phase in our life where
32:22
Speaker 1: we got married, and obviously we talk about having kids
32:25
Speaker 1: all the time. But you know, there is this fear
32:28
Speaker 1: where I don't want to get out of this life
32:31
Speaker 1: that I have now where I'm very comfortable right now
32:33
Speaker 1: with my life. You know, I love being able to
32:36
Speaker 1: just take care of Freddy. I love just like having
32:39
Speaker 1: my date nights with Zach and making our relationship a
32:41
Speaker 1: priority and going with friends and all that. But eventually,
32:44
Speaker 1: like even now, I'm starting to realize that like I
32:47
Speaker 1: want more, Like we've been together for so long that
32:50
Speaker 1: it's like I do want to have a family with
32:53
Speaker 1: my husband, and I do want to have kids, and
32:54
Speaker 1: I do want to make that change of knowing that
32:57
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be the only person that I'm
32:59
Speaker 1: taking care of. I'm not just taking care of myself anymore.
33:01
Speaker 1: I'm taking care of a freakin' human, a baby. I'm
33:04
Speaker 1: taking care of a baby. And yeah, sure that scares
33:06
Speaker 1: the shit out of me, and yeah that's something that's
33:09
Speaker 1: very much out of my comfort zone because I know
33:11
Speaker 1: nothing when it comes to being a mom. But I
33:14
Speaker 1: keep just trying to tell myself that that's going to
33:16
Speaker 1: be a really good challenge for myself, because eventually I'm
33:20
Speaker 1: going to realize that this is a spot that I've
33:21
Speaker 1: wanted to be in for so long, Like I've always
33:23
Speaker 1: wanted to be a mom, I've always wanted to, you know,
33:26
Speaker 1: raise my own child and all that. So eventually that's
33:29
Speaker 1: going to become a comfort spot in a safe spot
33:31
Speaker 1: for me, and I think it's just the change that
33:34
Speaker 1: sounds scary, right. It's always things that people change in
33:38
Speaker 1: their life that make them feel a little scared. So
33:42
Speaker 1: I just need to get out of my comfort zone
33:44
Speaker 1: and try new things and know that change is a
33:46
Speaker 1: good thing and that good things are coming. And I'm
33:48
Speaker 1: sure some of you guys might be able to relate
33:50
Speaker 1: to that if you were like me. Maybe you just
33:51
Speaker 1: got married and you're in that position where you're very
33:53
Speaker 1: comfortable but you're scared to make that change of having kids.
33:57
Speaker 1: Or maybe it's you know, you're very stuck in the
34:00
Speaker 1: position where you love doing certain workouts and you want
34:03
Speaker 1: to change your workouts, but you're scared to go to
34:05
Speaker 1: a different studio. Or maybe it's a job. You're very
34:08
Speaker 1: comfortable in your job, but you know you want to
34:11
Speaker 1: make more progress by doing something completely different and changing
34:14
Speaker 1: it up. So it could be anything. It could be
34:15
Speaker 1: job related, it could be personal related, it could be
34:17
Speaker 1: so many things. But it's important to take the risk
34:22
Speaker 1: and make those changes because sometimes it's worth the leap
34:25
Speaker 1: and it's worth the change. Well that is today's episode
34:29

34:33
