Hello you guys, and welcome back to another episode of the hawk Grel Energy
0:17
Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is your weekly reminder that
0:20
it's a new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another
0:24
day for you to become the hawk Gral energy you want to attract. Hello
0:27
you guys, Happy Wednesday, because I know this is going to be up
0:31
a day later, and don't hate me for doing this. I'm trying so
0:35
hard to get it up on Tuesdays, but it just takes me such a
0:39
long time to edit these podcast episodes. And you guys know I'm doing blog
0:44
miss, so honestly, work has just been extremely busy. And then on
0:47
top of log Miss, I'm doing like work content in terms of like ads
0:52
that I have to film and submit in advance. Blah blah blah. It
0:55
is what it is. So I'm trying. My heart is I just right
0:58
now. The goal for me is to lease have an episode up a week,
1:00
just like try and get an episode up, so that's what's most important
1:03
to me. So hopefully you guys are okay with that as long as I
1:07
get something up during the week that makes me happy. But as you guys
1:11
can see, in the episode title, we are going to slowly talk about
1:15
how we're going to be becoming our best selves for twenty twenty four. Obviously,
1:19
going into the new year, everybody always feels so motivated to become their
1:23
best self, and this year we're actually going to try and stick to those
1:27
goals throughout the entire year. How are we going to make it extremely realistic
1:30
for us to stick to those goals throughout the entire year of twenty twenty four.
1:34
I feel like there's definitely things that you know, I commit to in
1:38
the beginning of the year, and you know, sometimes things kind of fall
1:42
off and then I try and get back into it at the end of the
1:45
year. It's just kind of like the reality. I feel like people can
1:48
say, yeah, I'm going to do this for the entire year. I
1:51
know, I'm going to stay committed whatever. Everyone's gonna have times where they're
1:53
going to fall off track, and that's totally okay. That is totally normal.
1:57
There's things that honestly, I really wanted to accomplish for myself for this
2:01
year. There's some things that I do to this day, and there's some
2:05
things that honestly I kind of fell off the track, and you know,
2:07
my goal for twenty twenty four is to try and stay committed to that this
2:12
year and try and get back on track for that. So yeah, this
2:15
is kind of like a little sneak peek of some things that you could start
2:17
doing now or just start prepping for the new year. I will probably have
2:22
one more episode going up before the new year. There will be no episode
2:27
on I think it's December twenty six because that is Boxing Day, and I'm
2:31
personally going to be taking that entire week off for myself mentally, just to
2:36
have a nice little break with Zach. Zach has the entire week off as
2:39
well. I will still be on social media. I'm not going to take
2:42
a break from filming content, but just from the podcast. I'm just going
2:45
to try and eliminate certain tasks from my day to day job. That way
2:50
I can actually enjoy the week off going into the new year. And then
2:53
there will be more episodes up related to the new year and just becoming our
2:57
best self. So these are going to be some things you can do to
3:00
prep for the new year. Hint, hint, vision boards, just manifesting
3:05
our dream life. You guys know, we're all about manifesting. Anyways,
3:08
we're going to talk about that in today's episode, but before we get into
3:12
it, I have two things that I want to talk about. One,
3:15
I have everybody messaging me on Instagram saying, let's talk about New York City
3:20
and me finding my wedding dress, so I want to chat about that quickly.
3:23
And then two, I want to talk about the giveaway winner that has
3:25
won the one hundred dollars Amazon gift card. If you guys listened to the
3:30
last episode, you guys know that there was a giveaway. If you didn't
3:32
hear the episode, that is okay, because I'm going to be giving more
3:36
giveaway information for today's episode that I will be giving away next week, so
3:39
there'll be another giveaway winner for this week. So thank you guys for all
3:44
posting your stories. There was so many entries it literally blew my mind.
3:49
I couldn't post them all my story just because it was getting so overwhelming.
3:52
So I decided to start messaging you guys back just so that I had everything
3:55
banked and I saw all of your stories to make sure that I could populated
4:00
into the website that I'm using just to announce the giveaway. So Basically,
4:03
it takes all of your user names and it just randomly selects one and then
4:08
yeah, that's how we announced the winner. So before we get into the
4:11
giveaway winner, let's talk about New York City. If you guys didn't see,
4:14
I did vlog miss on this, but basically I flew to New York
4:16
City strictly just for the day. We weren't staying for the weekend. We
4:19
literally flew that morning and flew home the same day. From Ottawa to New
4:24
York, it's only an hour flight. It's a super quick trip, and
4:28
honestly the flights aren't that expensive either, which is kind of nice. So
4:30
I thought, you know what, let's just go for the day. I
4:32
was already in New York City a month ago, as you guys know,
4:35
with my mom and my sister trying on wedding dresses. And there was this
4:39
one dress that I fell in love with and what threw me off and the
4:43
reason why I didn't say yes the first time. It was the last appointment
4:46
of my entire trip. So it was at like four pm on the last
4:49
day of our trip. It was the last dress I tried on, and
4:55
it was a dress that I picked, not thinking I would love it,
4:59
like it totally threw me off. It was a style I wasn't picturing I
5:01
was in. It was just like it was the vision that I created for
5:05
myself that I wanted, but it wasn't the fit I thought I was gonna
5:10
pick. I don't want to give any more details away about the dress just
5:14
because I don't want to give it away, because I could really describe it
5:15
pretty well on the podcast. It is very not like it's unique, but
5:21
I feel like it's a wow and it's like a dream come true knowing that
5:26
this is my dress. But it was just something I didn't fully picture me
5:30
in, and so it totally threw me off that day. And like,
5:33
we went out for dinner that night when I was in New York with my
5:36
mom and my sister a few weeks ago, and we couldn't stop talking about
5:40
that dress and we were like, okay, we wish we did this though
5:43
okay, we were half asleep, like my mom. Like my mom loved
5:46
it, but you know when you expect your mom to cry or be like,
5:49
oh my god, this is the one whatever in that moment, because
5:51
we were so exhausted and so tired, like we none of us can make
5:57
the decision right there. We were like, Okay, we want to say
6:00
us to this, but we're not sure, Like we were just all totally
6:02
thrown off and just we're not expecting to fall in love with this specific dress.
6:08
So when we went back home, I was two days at home thinking
6:12
I was going to say yus to this dress. And then I was like,
6:14
you know what, I need to try the dress on one more time.
6:16
And you know what, I've talked to a lot of other brides who
6:18
are already married at this point, but they said, there's nothing wrong with
6:23
trying on your dress one more time, just to be sure. You are
6:26
spending so much money on a wedding dress, like it is what it is,
6:29
it's the reality. And so I wanted to be one hundred percent sure
6:33
after putting so much money down on this dress, I was like, I
6:35
need to be sure that this is the one. I don't want to waste
6:39
my money. I don't want to, you know, look at other gowns
6:41
and then be like, oh my god, like I made the wrong decision,
6:44
blah blah blah. And I know there is a thing where brides say
6:47
that, you know, sometimes you may have regrets on your dress, but
6:51
then when you wear at the day of like you're like, no, this
6:54
was the one, Like you kind of remember the feeling that you had when
6:57
you first initially tried it on. So trying to avoid looking at other wedding
7:01
dresses like on Instagram and all that, so I don't get that feeling.
7:04
That's what I was told. But my friends who have already been married,
7:08
they're like, don't look at other wedding dresses or else you'll be, you
7:11
know, all in your head about it. And you also have to understand
7:14
that you need to get your dress at least seven months prior to your wedding,
7:17
like that's non negotiable. Like I was at the cusp of ordering my
7:20
dress. They were saying that if I ordered it anytime in the New Year,
7:25
I would have had to pay a rushing fee, which is typically like
7:29
fifteen hundred to two thousand USD on top of the dresser you're already paying,
7:31
which is a lot, especially for me with the Canadian conversion. Definitely not
7:35
something I want to add on to the dress. So you do have to
7:39
order your dress pretty far in advance. So when you see the newer styles
7:44
for like Spring or anything like that. Like obviously it's newer and style change
7:48
and all that, right, So no matter what, even if I did
7:51
love something in the Spring twenty twenty three collection, I would have had to
7:55
pay a rushing fee or there is the risk that they may say, yeah,
7:59
no, we can't even make the dress that fast in time for your
8:01
wedding. So no matter what, I had to make a decision, and
8:03
I think I really did make the right decision. I am so beyond obsessed
8:09
with the dress. Trying it on for the second time honestly made me fall
8:11
in love with it again, like just ten times more. All in all,
8:16
it was definitely worth flying back to just get that whole experience, and
8:20
also being able to say yes to the dress at Kleinfeld was kind of cool.
8:24
I've had a few messages saying like are you going to be on the
8:26
show? Are you not? And the way it works out with Kleinfeld is
8:31
that you actually have to submit an application to go on the show. Like
8:35
they don't just pick you randomly in the store to film you. That's not
8:37
how it works obviously, Like when you see the show, there's dramatic stories
8:41
about you know, random stuff just the TLC stuff, you guys know,
8:46
but usually there's a huge storyline behind the characters and all that, so they
8:50
usually only pick certain people and then they have days where they specifically air the
8:56
show. I was asking all the questions just because I grew up watching Say
9:00
Yes to the Dress. I wanted to know, like, how do you
9:01
know who to pick? Blah blah blah. And the girl that was helping
9:05
me is actually on the show. She's been on the show for the past
9:07
five seasons now. Her name's Brandy. She was amazing, But anyway,
9:11
she was just giving me a low down on how it all works. And
9:13
I guess they're airing days are on Thursdays, So every Thursday they basically close
9:20
the store down and they only have the guests come that are going to be
9:22
filmed for the TV show. And they also only film during certain months,
9:28
so it'd be like, Okay, January would be the next season, and
9:31
they'll film a bunch of different people in January, and then you know,
9:35
the spring season might be in April. Like that's kind of how it breaks
9:37
up. It's not every single Thursday they do filming, It's like every few
9:41
months. But Brandy did ask me if I wanted to be on the show.
9:46
They were literally going to refilm like the whole thing. They were going
9:50
to say, Okay, we're just going to pretend that you haven't found the
9:54
dress yet, and that I was gonna have to pretend to search through other
9:56
dresses, and then they were gonna make me obviously try on the dress that
10:01
I purchased and go through that whole experience for the television show. And I
10:05
honestly said, no, I know that sounds kind of funny, but I
10:07
don't know. I was like, I don't know if I want to be
10:09
on TV. And I also didn't want to go through that whole experience again.
10:13
And I would have had to fly back to New York City line it
10:16
up on a Thursday. And anyways, I have a bunch of travels in
10:20
the new year, obviously with the wedding, and I have to go back
10:22
to Italy to go do a food tasting with my mom and make up trial,
10:26
hair trial and the Bachorette and like, there's so much travel going on
10:31
in the new year, which I'm so grateful for and I'm so excited about.
10:33
But I just didn't think I was going to have the time to go
10:35
back to New York and film a whole TLC thing, and blah blah blah,
10:39
Like it just was going to be too much thrown on my plate,
10:43
and I feel like right now I just need to focus on all those other
10:46
travels besides that. But I did feel very honored to be asked to be
10:50
on the show. That was a pretty cool experience from someone who literally grew
10:54
up watching the show. But yeah, so highly highly recommend checking out Kleinfeld
10:58
whenever you do start to look for a wedding dress and all that just all
11:01
in all, very very good customer service there. But let's get into the
11:07
giveaway. Not going to give any more information out about the wedding dress obviously,
11:11
for obvious reasons. I want to keep it a secret for you guys.
11:13
You guys won't see it obviously till August. But yeah, I'm so
11:18
excited. But anyways, let's get into our giveaway winner. I'm just pulling
11:20
out my phone right now, so if my mouth is away from the mic
11:24
and it sounds quieter, that's why. So I just pulled up this website
11:28
that populates all the user names and then randomly selects one of the users to
11:35
win. The giveaways. So for the winner, I'm going to announce it
11:37
here on the podcast, but I'm also going to message you directly to make
11:41
sure that I pick the exact person because right now, the girl that I've
11:46
picked, it's a one name user name, like I don't have her last
11:50
name, so I just don't want someone to get confused if it's their name.
11:52
But I'm going to message you directly that way you know it's you not
11:58
someone else, if that makes sense. So, Rebecca, you are the
12:01

send you a message. I'm going to give you all the information for the

12:20
hundred dollars Amazon gift card. The next giveaway is going to be an e

13:24
you back just to make sure you have entered into the giveaway. But yeah,
13:26
that is all the giveaway information for the second part of the giveaway.
13:31
All right, so let's start talking about how we're going to have the perfect
13:35
start to twenty twenty four, almost like a little starting pack. Now,
13:39
these are some things that I talked about last year. I want to go
13:41
over this again because I feel like this was super helpful for myself and I
13:48
want to bring that back into this year. Just steps you can do to
13:52
start your year off, right, So, what are some things that we
13:54
need to do now in order to have everything complete and ready for twenty two
14:00
twenty four. One thing that we're going to be talking more about in the
14:03
next episode is vision boards. I'm going to obviously mention it here, but
14:05
I want to go more into depth the following episode on how to make the
14:11
perfect vision board. And I feel like next week is going to be the
14:13
perfect week to actually start getting that done. I have not started my vision
14:16
board yet, but I hope to start it next week. So we're going
14:20
to chat about that more that episode and just talk about how we're going to
14:24
create our vision board and create our dream life for twenty twenty four. Okay,
14:28
so the first step you're going to do is you're going to review your
14:33
year of twenty twenty three. How did your year turn out? Was it
14:35
everything that you expected? What were things that you did that you were super
14:41
proud of yourself that you did? What were some things that you want to
14:43
improve on, things that you want to work on for twenty twenty four.
14:46
So this is the perfect opportunity to get like a notebook or a piece of
14:50
paper and just write down five things that you did this year that you're super
14:52
proud of, things that you accomplished, that you really wanted to do for
14:56
yourself for this year. And then you're going to write down five things that
15:00
you didn't like. So what were things that you wish you could have been
15:01
better at that you hope to be better at for twenty twenty four. So
15:05
I'm going to give you guys an example of things that I wrote down.
15:09
I don't think I have five, to be honest, I think and we
15:11
wrote down three for each of them. So if you only have three things,
15:13
you can just rate three. I probably have more, to be honest,
15:16
I just can't think of them in this exact moment. But things that
15:20
I loved about this year was taking my relationship with Zach to the next level.
15:24
We obviously got engaged, we had our engagement party, and we just
15:28
had so many amazing memories this year that I will never forget. What a
15:33
great way to start twenty twenty three being engaged on our ten year anniversary.
15:39
Still thinking about that moment when he proposed to me is still so special and
15:43
it just gives me butterflies every time I think about it, and I hope
15:46
ten years from now I feel the exact same way, knowing that you know,
15:50
we have taken a relationship to the next step, we are saying forever,
15:54
we are getting married. Just what a great way to start twenty twenty
15:58
three. Literally the perfect scenario of what I wanted for this year. Not
16:04
gonna lie. There was an engagement ring on my vision board. That was
16:07
something that I was really hoping for this year. Didn't know when it was
16:11
going to happen. So happy that I got engaged the start of the new
16:15
year, just to you know, make our ten year anniversary so much more
16:18
special by obviously getting an engagement ring. So yeah, I fully put that
16:23
on my vision board and that came true, So that was kind of nice.
16:26
Another thing that I was super proud of this year was trying new workout
16:30
classes. I feel like last year I was very homebodied, like I did
16:36
want to leave the house. I really enjoyed my at home workouts, and
16:37
don't get me wrong, I still like that at home workouts, but I
16:41
have realized that because I work from home, I truly do love getting out
16:45
of the house and getting a good sweat I feel more productive when I leave
16:49
the house, and when I come back, I feel more refreshed and I
16:52
feel ready to take on the day. So I think one thing that I
16:56
want to also take into twenty twenty four is continue to try new workout classes.
17:02
You know, try out a hot yoga class, try out a pilates
17:04
class, like keep trying different things because I feel like doing those little workout
17:10
classes and getting out of the house makes me feel good knowing that again,
17:14
I don't have a job to go to, so being able to get out
17:17
of the house and get a good sweat out is the perfect situation in my
17:21
opinion. Every time I book a spin Co class, which is usually twice
17:25
a week, those two days of my week are probably the two days that
17:27
I look forward to most, just because I truly just enjoy my days more
17:32
like I like waking up early, I like getting a good sweat in and
17:36
yeah, I'm very proud of myself for booking that spin Co class back in
17:38
February and now I've made it a consistent routine into my weekly schedule. I
17:44
work out twice a week with spin Co. I love getting a good cardio
17:48
sweat and I hope to include a new workout. Maybe it is hot yoga
17:52
and I do that twice a week. I have been recently including hot yoga
17:55
once a week. I love it. I truly feel like it is such
18:00
a great workout. So maybe that will be my second workout that I do
18:04
throughout my weekly schedule in the new year. I still haven't figured out if
18:07
that's going to be for sure the other workout, or maybe it's going to
18:11
be a pilates class. I'm not sure yet, but there definitely is another
18:15
class that I want to take on twice a week and then spending twice a
18:19
week. Another thing that I was super proud of accomplishing for twenty twenty three
18:25
is just my career wise in terms of the growth of the podcast, the
18:30
growth of my social media platforms, and just like still being able to call
18:36
this my full time job is just such a pinch me. Moment and I'm
18:38
always so grateful to be able to call this my job. And one thing
18:44
that I want to point out about the podcast is I did not realize how
18:49
many of you just listen to my podcast in general. That was the most
18:55
shocking thing for me to see on my Spotify wrapped is just how successful the
18:59
podcast was this year. To put it in perspective, I was in the
19:03
top ten for podcasts for one hundred and thirty thousand fans. I was the
19:07
top ten podcast for one hundred and thirty thousand people. That is mind blowing
19:14
to me, mind blowing to me. And we peaked in fifteen countries at
19:19
number three, fifteen countries at number three, like what like? Being charted
19:26
at number three in fifteen different countries is mind blowing to me. So thank
19:32
you guys so much. Literally, you guys know how great bul ad for
19:34
you all. So I'm not even going to go into deeper dive about that,
19:37
but that is what I'm so proud of is being able to grow the
19:41
podcast, grow the podcast family, Being able to have such amazing supporters like
19:45
you guys, and be able to do this as my full time thing is
19:48
beyond amazing. And you know, seeing your messages about how you guys messaged
19:53
me saying how I've helped you become, you know, the healthier version of
19:56
yourself or the better version of yourself by listening to my podcast and listening to
20:00
my tips and all. That makes me so happy and it literally makes me
20:06
feel so good to know that I'm making a difference and my job is helping
20:11
others out, and yeah, I feel like that's something to really be proud
20:15
of, and it makes me feel very well accomplished, and it makes me
20:18
feel like I'm doing a good job at my job. Like I feel like
20:19
I am doing good and that's what's important to me and that's what makes me
20:23
feel good. So yeah, that's definitely one of the other things that I'm
20:27
very very proud of myself for doing this year. And then another thing that
20:32
I really loved about twenty twenty three is just how much Zach and I traveled
20:37
and just created so many memories together. I think that was one huge highlight
20:41
for me, being able to look back on all the trips that I went
20:44
on this year, you know, going to visit Tren in Vancouver, going
20:47
to Coachella with Trend and Land, and then going to Italy trying to find
20:52
our wedding venue, and then going to Mexico where Zach proposed to me.
20:55
I just feel like I had so many spontaneous and fun trips planned this year,
20:59
and it just makes me realize how much I enjoy traveling and how much
21:03
I cherish memories like that. If I could travel every month of the year,
21:07
I would. I think that would be amazing. But I know for
21:11
sure this coming year there's definitely going to be more travels involved. And if
21:15
there is one thing that I could recommend to spend your money towards is traveling,
21:21
Like save your money and travel. You have no idea how many memories
21:26
you're going to make just from going on that trip with your friends, or
21:30
going on that trip with your boyfriend or your family. Just getting out of
21:33
the country is the best feeling ever. And just being in a new city
21:38
and being in a new place, it just there's just this feeling that you
21:42
just can't describe, especially being in Europe. Whenever I go to Europe,
21:45
it's such a culture shock to me. Comparing it to Canada, It's just
21:49
totally different worlds. I love the rush that I feel when I'm in Europe.
21:53
I love just feeling like so new in a new place, if that
21:59
makes sense, and just feeling so much freedom, like just being able to
22:00
do whatever we want, have the best time. Yeah, Europe will always
22:04
have such a close place in my heart. I literally loved every place that
22:08
I've been to in Europe. I've been to Paris, I've been to Prague,
22:11
I've been to Croatia, I've been to Berlin. I've been to literally
22:15
so many places in Europe Italy. Like I could name a bunch of other
22:18
ones, I can't think of them all right now. So if there's one
22:22
thing that I could recommend to put your money towards, it's traveling. Just
22:26
travel to the places that you've always dreamed of going to, Like, don't
22:30
waste your money on stupid shit. Like I'm gonna be totally honest, Like,
22:34
just try and save and try and put it towards travel. Things that
22:40
I didn't like about twenty twenty three that I hope to do better for twenty
22:44
twenty four, one of them being wellness checkups. I sucked at booking doctor's
22:48
appointments, at booking dentist appointments, just I didn't do good. I told
22:52
myself. I was gonna be better at that, and I didn't just gonna
22:56
be fully transparent, not gonna lie. I actually went to a dent disappointment
23:00
last week. I never vlogged it, just because I didn't think it was
23:03
necessary to blog and not gonna lie. I was very shocked to hear that
23:06
my teeth were perfect, not one single cavity, not one single thing wrong.
23:10
I went in there with the full intention that they were going to tell
23:12
me to get my wisdom teeth removed, because I still have them in my
23:15
mouth. I was told four years ago or five years ago, five years
23:19
ago that they had to be removed. And I decided to cancel my appointment
23:23
because I do not like the fact of going under. That just stresses me
23:27
out. So I literally canceled my appointment and just not like I've been back
23:33
to the dentist since. It's just every time I've went they've said, yeah,
23:37
like just a reminder that you need to get your wisdom teeth removed.
23:40
Whatever. So I go to the same dentists. This is, I haven't
23:44
gone a dentist appointment a year, okay, so it's been an entire year,
23:45
and they say to me Kiley, your wisdom teeth are fine, like
23:49
they're growing imperfectly. You do not need to get them removed, at least
23:52
at this time, because I thought maybe I should get I should get them
23:56
removed before the wedding, because you know, I don't want to have any
23:59
issues. What I And they're like, no, it's coming in perfectly.
24:02
And I guess my other tooth. I only have two wism teeth. I
24:04
don't have the bottom ones, only two top ones, and my other one
24:07
is like way up like by my eye, like way up in my cheekbone,
24:11
and it's not coming down at all. So they said it may not
24:15
ever come out ever in your life, or it might like way down the
24:18
line, but they said, right now, the one that's actually poked out
24:22
is fine, So you have no idea. Like how happy I was to
24:26
hear that news, Like I hate going to the dentist and that's why I
24:30
never book that appointment. I just hate it. I also don't really enjoy
24:34
going to the doctor's appointment, Like I just don't like doing these wellness checkups,
24:38
but it's important to do it. It's important to do it for your
24:41
health, and it's important to just know what's going on with your body.
24:44
And I'm so happy I booked that dentist appointment because now I just have a
24:48
clear mind. I have nothing to worry about. My teeth are great,
24:51
they're in great help. That's all that matters to me. But I do
24:53
need to book a doctor's appointment in the new year, so I hope to
24:56
be better at my wellness checkups. I did actually tell my dentists as well,
25:00
to give me a call six months from now whenever I do have to
25:03
get a cleaning next. I find getting a call and getting that reminder is
25:07
important because you know, everybody has busy lives, everybody has shit going on.
25:11
It's the reality. But having those little checkups and reminders to let you
25:15
know, hey, you're due for a cleaning, that will push me to
25:18
get a cleaning done, you know what I mean. So I told them
25:22
to call me six months from now and then just like keep that in my
25:25
file that every time I'm due for a hygiene appointment, just give me a
25:29
call and I'll book my appointment. Another thing I need to be better at
25:32
is being on time. I'm totally going to be honest here, I suck
25:37
at being on time, no matter how many times I set an alarm saying,
25:40
Killy, you need to leave the house right now because you're going to
25:42
be late for your hair appointment or your nail appointment or whatever. I still,
25:47
somehow I'm always late. So I need to figure out something that's going
25:51
to make me on time for my appointments. It's such a bad habit.
25:56
Whenever it comes to a workout class, I'm always on time, no issues,
26:00
minutes earily. Every single time, nail appointment, hare appointment, you
26:03
name, it's pusio appointment, I'm always at least two to five minutes late.
26:07
Always. I don't know why. I don't know why it's always those
26:10
appointments. I don't have good concept of time, let's just say that.
26:14
So that is something that I need to improve on for twenty twenty four is
26:18
just realizing how long things take me and just yeah, being better with my
26:22
time. And then, lastly, things that I didn't like about this year
26:26
is I felt like I had a very good meal planning schedule for the beginning
26:32
of the year, and then I felt like once summer came, I kind
26:36
of fell off that track where Zach and I were pretty consistent at prepping our
26:38
meals for the week, meaning we knew what we were going to have for
26:41
dinner every single night, you know, from Monday to Friday. So this
26:45
past month, I feel like Zach and I both have really focused on trying
26:48
to get better at getting back into our healthier recipes. I think we were
26:52
just trying to cook meals that were just convenient and easy for us to make
26:57
when the reality is that you really do enjoy eating healthier foods, and I
27:02
feel like we kind of slacked on that. We've started to get back into
27:06
it this month, specifically like back to meal planning, our weekly meal plans
27:11
as well as finding new recipes on Pinterest, trying new recipes all that.
27:15
So we've definitely been better at it this month. But hopefully in the new
27:18
year, this is something that we'll get back into a consistent habit with and
27:23
continue to make healthier recipes each week within the new year. So, I
27:29
mean, obviously we're doing it now, as I said, but I really
27:30
hope to get back into that habit of just trying new healthy recipes on Pinterest
27:36
and yeah, just getting in a consistent routine of eating healthier throughout the new
27:41
year. So once you have reviewed your year, when you write down the
27:42
five things that you did this year, five things that you didn't like about
27:45
this year that you want to improve on for twenty twenty four. Now let's
27:49
talk about goal setting. So what are the goals that you want to achieve
27:55
yourself? I think the most important thing to do here is to break them
27:57
down into categories. Some goals around health and wellness, some goals around personal
28:03
goals, and some goals around professional business or school goals. So depending on
28:08
where you are in your life, whether you have a business that you're working
28:11
on for yourself, or if you were in school and you really want to
28:15
achieve something within your schooling, or if you have any personal goals that you
28:19
want to achieve yourself, this is the time to write these type of things
28:23
down. So when it comes to health and wellness, I think I kind
28:26
of already touched on it, but meal planning and advance more is probably my
28:30
main goal for my health and wellness goal. Another one that I feel like
28:34
is more personal is prioritizing my task better. Example at prioritizing task is I
28:41
might do a lot of tasks prior to that aren't that big of a deal,
28:45
Like it's not a big deal if I empty the dishwasher, Whereas what's
28:51
a bigger deal is me submitting a brand deal for a brand that I filmed
28:56
that was due that day. Like emptying the dishwasher, submitting a brand deal,
29:00
I'm pretty sure submitting a brand deal is more important. I think I
29:03
need to be better at that and realizing the bigger things are more important to
29:07
do in the morning versus doing that later in the day. So yeah,
29:11
I need to be better at making sure that those tasks are a bigger priority
29:15
versus those little tasks. I think another thing for my business goal, it's
29:19
going to be delegating tasks more, meaning I need to start hiring a team
29:26
and I have family that I will be hiring within for my business. I
29:32
think I mentioned this, but I am starting a business and next year is
29:36
really going to be my main focus of starting this business. So that would
29:38
be a goal for myself for professional wise. I'm creating my own brand,
29:42
I'm starting a business. I'm going to be selling a product, and I'm
29:47
very very excited about it. I'm not going to give any hints, but
29:51
it's definitely me. It's definitely giving me. That's all I have to say,
29:56
and I think you guys are going to love it. I'm so excited
29:59
about it. But anyways, I'm in the very beginning stages of it.
30:02
And my dad actually owned his own company for fourteen years and he just recently
30:06
got out of it because he didn't want to have that responsibility anymore because obviously
30:11
owning a business is hard work. So essentially he sold it and he now
30:17
works for a different company kind of more of a chill job. He is
30:22
retiring realistically in the next five to seven years, so he just really wanted
30:26
something different for the next five to seven years and just something more chill.
30:30
But I am having my dad work for me, which is kind of fun,
30:34
and he's helping me with my brand since he knows everything from top to
30:37
bottom on how to start a business. So I feel very grateful to have
30:41
someone like him to help me through this process. And I trust my dad
30:45
more than anything when it comes to building a brand. He just knows everything,
30:51
and I feel like I know a lot of the marketing strategies on how
30:55
to get my brand out there and get my brand known and all that.
31:00
It's going to be very exciting year doing that, but that is definitely my
31:02
biggest goal for business wise is just really focusing on starting a brand and creating
31:07
the brand that I envisioned for myself and that I envision that my followers and
31:12
listeners purchase. So yeah, that's like my biggest professional goal for sure.
31:18
So that is a next step is just talking about some goal setting that you
31:21
want to do. Break it down into categories. As I said, write
31:22
your health goals, your personal goals, your professional goals, all that,
31:26
and figure out what you want to do with those goals for the new year.
31:32
The next thing you're going to do is you're going to figure out habits
31:33
that you want to include into your lifestyle for twenty twenty four. So this
31:37
could be a huge list of things. This could be you know, drinking
31:40
more water, you know, doing meditation, doing a workout every single morning,
31:44
or going on a walk for thirty minutes every single day, Like those
31:48
are the things like that daily journaling, you know, using my planner every
31:51
single day. There's a lot of things that I currently do in my morning
31:55
routine that I've been consistent with for three years now. So I'm not going
31:57
to list all the things and I talk about it all the time. You
32:00
guys know, on this podcast we talk about doing habits that make you feel
32:04
so good and becoming your best self. So I'm not going to highlight those
32:07
all because I feel like you guys kind of have a good understanding of what
32:12
habits you should take into twenty twenty four. And if there's habits that you
32:15
can think of that you know you used to be so good at in the
32:17
beginning of this year that you want to be even better at for twenty twenty
32:21
four, then that's the time for you to write those down. Okay,
32:23
what are the habits that I want to get back into or stay consistent with.
32:27
So for me personally, I have some things that I want to include,
32:32
and one of them is something that I tried this year that I really
32:36
failed at and I actually am so mad that I failed at this, but
32:39
meditation. I don't know why it's been so difficult for me to get into
32:43
meditating, but I truly do believe adding meditation into your routine will help you
32:49
destress, will help you relax, Like I just need that in my life
32:53
and I just need to be I need to be better at it. I
32:58
just do. So I am hope to include this into my routine for twenty
33:01
twenty four as my night routine is meditating and Form the brand that I actually
33:07
work for, so Sammy Clerk's Form workout platform. They are recently adding meditation
33:15
into the formapp, which I'm so excited about because I use Form all the
33:20
time for my workouts. It's also a great way to find healthy recipes and
33:22
all that. So meditation is definitely something that I hope to include into my
33:29
night routine. So that will be my twenty twenty four habit for next year.
33:34
Another habit that I want to include into my lifestyle is a digital detox.
33:38
If you don't know what this means, it basically means disconnect yourself from
33:43
social media. I need to be so much better at this, meaning I
33:45
need to put my phone away at nine pm and not go on it.
33:49
I feel like the beginning of this year, Zach and I had a nine
33:52
pm rule where we would put our phones away and just you know, focus
33:55
on him and I watching TV whatever, just enjoying the downtime together before I
34:00
went to bed. I will say that I have not been doing that like
34:04
these past few months. Again, I feel like summer kind of came and
34:07
I kind of got into that bad habit of sticking to being on my phone
34:10
past nine pm. So I definitely need to be better at just disconnecting from
34:15
social media, specifically at night. I don't know why it's so bad.
34:17
I feel like in the morning, I'm so focused on doing my routine,
34:21
I'm so focused on starting my day for work all that that I don't really
34:24
have a bad attachment to my phone in the morning. Like, yes,
34:28
i'll scroll in the morning for maybe like ten minutes just to wake myself up,
34:30
But I wouldn't say that's like a bad habit. I don't know.
34:34
I think scrolling on your phone for ten minutes is not a big deal,
34:37
Whereas at night, I'm on my phone all day with my job, I
34:39
don't need to be on my phone at night. There's no reason for me
34:43
to be scrolling for three hours for no reason. So I definitely need to
34:46
be better at just disconnecting from social media, having some downtime, and just
34:52
relaxing for the last hour of my night. Okay, So now that you
34:55
have reviewed your year on things that you are proud that you accomplish, things
35:00
that you didn't like, things that you want to work on, goals that
35:02
you want to set for yourself for the new year, as well as habits
35:06
that you want to include into your lifestyle. We then get into the vision
35:09
board. This is how you're going to manifest your dream life. I'm telling
35:15
you right now, vision boards are your main priority. I can honestly say
35:20
that for the past three years of me doing vision boards, I want to
35:22
say at least seventy percent of my vision boards actually comes true. And I
35:25
think what's so amazing about vision boards is how good you feel seeing how much
35:30
you accomplish throughout the year. It feels so good to see that you've achieved
35:35
so much, and you've accomplished so much for yourself, and it makes you
35:38
so motivated to do it again for the following year and just see what else
35:40
you accomplish for yourself. So I will obviously be making one for twenty twenty
35:45
four, and the next episode is really going to be focusing on my vision
35:49
board and how I achieved certain goals for myself on my vision board, as
35:52
well as how you are going to be able to achieve your goals on your
35:57
vision board for twenty twenty four. So that will be our episode. Next
36:00
week. We'll go into a deeper dive on how we're going to achieve those
36:02
goals for ourselves for the new year, so make sure to stay tuned as
36:07
well as make sure to stay tuned for the next giveaway winner. I will
36:10
also be doing a giveaway on my Instagram and TikTok starting tomorrow, so definitely
36:14
