0:13
Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the Hogrel Energy Podcast.
0:17
I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is your weekly reminder that it's a
0:20
new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day if
0:23
you become the hotrel energy you want to attract. Happy Tuesday, guys,
0:28
and happy Halloween. We are officially ending today with Spooky Season. Spooky Season
0:35
is officially going to be over after tonight, and I'm kind of excited because,
0:41
let's be honest, I am totally in the mindset of Christmas Gift Guides
0:47
vlog miss like just so ready to take on the holidays, and I'm like
0:52
ninety five percent sure I'm decorating for the holidays this weekend, which is kind
0:55
of crazy. I've never decorated this early before, but because we're heading to
0:59
New York following weekend, I'd just rather have all the decorations up that way,
1:03
when I get home, I'm fully in the Christmas spirit, just because
1:07
by the time I get home, it's going to be basically Black Friday.
1:10
So yeah, I just want to have my decorations up. And as I
1:12
said, I'm just fully in the mood to just be holiday ready. I
1:17
mean Starbucks comes out with their holiday drinks this Thursday already, which is so
1:22
crazy. And yeah, so I know some people usually wait till after Remembrance
1:27
Day or usually after their Thanksgiving because for the States, you guys have Thanksgiving
1:33
during Black Friday, whereas here in Canada we have Thanksgiving in October. So
1:37
for me, like, there's really nothing to look forward to except Christmas,
1:40
so we're just jumping right into the holiday spirit. And I do want to
1:44
ask you guys a question about gift guides, because typically I would do a
1:49
gift guide on my TikTok and I would provide a Google Docs link that would
1:55
refer to all the gift guides that'll be making this year. I'm going to
1:57
be making it earlier this year. That way you guys can ahead of time,
2:00
especially before the Black Friday sales and all that. But I want to
2:04
know what kind of gift guides you want to see from me. I will
2:06
make a question box, hopefully sometime tomorrow on Instagram and just ask for your
2:12
opinion if you want gift guides for him, for a boyfriend, for your
2:16
parents, for luxurious items for yourself, all that. So just let me
2:21
know some ideas you guys want from me, if you guys want more affordable
2:24
options stocking stuffers. I just really want to do a really good job this
2:30
year at doing that. I think last year I did a pretty good job,
2:31
but I do want to be a bit more on top of it this
2:36
year, so let me know it'd be greatly appreciated. And for blog miss,
2:40
I have decided to do blog miss on TikTok this year versus YouTube.
2:46
YouTube was a lot of work, I'm not going to lie, and I
2:52
personally feel like I've really created more of a log style content on TikTok now,
2:57
which I've really been enjoying just getting out of my comfort zone and talking
3:00
more on an iPhone camera versus YouTube. I'm still gonna be posting YouTube videos
3:04
once a week, it just won't be every single day. However, I
3:07
will be doing daily vlog miss on TikTok, meaning I'm mostly gonna be posting
3:13
like morning routines, full day routines all that. So definitely make sure you
3:17
follow my TikTok if you don't make sure to do so. I am debating
3:23
on posting a few videos on Instagram reels as well. We shall see you
3:28
guys, can also let me know if you think I should do that or
3:30
not. But anyways, just fully China prep for the next few months because
3:34
this is honestly the busiest time of the month I find for people who work
3:38
in the social media space, because obviously brands want to work with you during
3:40
the holiday season and you also want to provide content to people and all that.
3:45
I have some giveaways coming out as well, which I'm super excited about
3:50
because I really want to give back to you guys who support me through my
3:53
social media, through my podcast, through my YouTube videos, everything, like
3:55
just so grateful for you guys, and I really want to give it back,
3:59
So definitely stay tuned for that as well. So just a lot of
4:01
updates going on with the holiday season coming up, and I'm just very very
4:05
excited. But another thing that is coming up is the new year. We
4:11
are heading into twenty twenty four in sixty days, which is so crazy.
4:15
So I thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to record an episode about How to
4:20
Level Up, how to Glow Up before twenty twenty four, And maybe that
4:24
means going back to seeing what our vision board was like this year and seeing
4:28
everything that you've accomplished so far. So we're going to go through some things
4:30
that you can do to level up before the new year, and how to
4:33
make sure you accomplish all your goals. Before we get into today's episode,
4:38
I do want to quickly talk about Halloween, because, as I said,
4:40
it is Halloween today and I want to know what your plans are for myself.
4:45
I am having a pretty low key night. Every year, Zach and
4:48
I like to go to my parents' place and help out with the tricker treaders
4:51
there. We do not get trigger treaters in my neighborhood. I think it's
4:55
just because we're still under construction. We're in a very new development, so
4:59
I just don't think the kids come in our area too often, whereas my
5:02
parents they get like two hundred and fifty kids. It's ridiculous. And every
5:08
year before COVID, we used to do a haunted house in my parents' garage
5:11
and everyone just loved it. We just love Halloween so much. My family,
5:15
like, we love to spook people out. We love just decorating and
5:18
all that. It's super fun. So this year we're gonna be doing kind
5:21
of like a haunted house, but not in the garage. We're gonna make
5:25
it more of like a dark alleyway to get to the front door. My
5:28
sister and I are dressing up as creepy dolls with these face masks, and
5:32
then Zach usually dresses up as like Jason. My dad usually does scream like
5:36
we just go full out. Oh no, not scream. My dad dresses
5:40
up as Michael Myers. So and they like walk around with knives. We
5:43
have like all these crazy statues at my parents' place. So anyway, so
5:46
try and take some videos and post it on Instagram tonight. But yeah,
5:48
we basically go follow every year. It's super fun and yeah, and then
5:53
we'll probably end the night with a horror movie or Michael Myers or something like
5:57
that, like the Halloween movie. I love to watch horror movies, especially
6:00
during spooky season. We tried to watch as many spooky movies as we could
6:04
this past weekend just because I feel like I haven't really had the time with
6:08
wedding planning and all that. But I think I've watched three horror movies so
6:12
far going into this new week. But anyways, yeah, I'm hoping to
6:15
watch one more tonight and then officially get into Christmas mode. If you need
6:20
any ideas for Halloween tonight, I highly recommend doing a girls' night. My
6:27
sister and I we did a cute little night where we made cookies. We
6:30
made this like really good eminem popcorn mix. We made this cocktail called Witch's
6:35
Potion, which you can search on Pinterest. I always love finding my cocktails
6:40
there. And then we watched Jennifer's Body, like something super low key like
6:44
that is so fun. Another idea is painting pumpkins. I love seeing people
6:47
do that. I think that looks super fun. Painting mugs, carving pumpkins,
6:53
like just doing something fun with your girlfriends, or even just doing it
6:55
yourself. You don't have to do it with someone else. It's kind of
6:58
a cute solo date night for yourself as Well'll maybe order some takeout, watch
7:01
a scary movie, make some cookies, and just chill Like that sounds like
7:04
the perfect night to me. Maybe do a face mask, have a bit
7:08
of a self care night just to make it feel a bit special. So
7:12
yeah, or even go out for a drink with your friends. Just do
7:14
something fun celebrating Halloween. I feel like Halloween's bigger in the States. In
7:18
Canada, versus Europe. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like
7:21
it's pretty big here versus everywhere else in the world. But yeah, that's
7:27
all I wanted to say about that. But let's get into today's episode on
7:30
how to level up before twenty twenty four. Okay, so I think the
7:33
first one I kind of touched on. But setting the goals you want to
7:36
achieve for yourself before the end of the year, or reviewing your vision board.
7:41
If you're someone that created a vision board at the beginning of this year,
7:45
go you that is amazing. I did that myself. I've done it
7:47
now for four years. If you don't know what a vision board is,
7:50
essentially what it is is it's images from Pinterest that essentially create an image of
7:55
what your goal is. So if you get an image from Pinterest of a
7:59
plane, let's say that could be a representation of a goal of traveling more
8:03
so, you put all these images, and all these images have to represent
8:07
a goal that you wanted to achieve this year. And so I think it's
8:11
important to that every year, and I think it's important to always check in
8:15
every few months to see if you're actually achieving those goals. For yourself know
8:18
that it's okay that if you haven't completed all your goals. I've never completed
8:22
all my goals on my vision board. I've always tried to achieve fifty to
8:26
seventy five percent of my goals. Obviously I'd love to hit one hundred percent,
8:30
but some of them are bigger goals, and I don't think there's anything
8:31
wrong with that because sometimes bigger goals could take maybe a long period of time.
8:37
I don't think there's ever too big of a goal to make. I
8:39
think it's always important to take the risk and just try and make it happen
8:43
for yourself. Sometimes it takes work to get to that point, right,
8:48
So one of my goals a few years ago was to become an influencer,
8:50
and you know, a few years ago I definitely probably thought that's never going
8:54
to happen. But hard work after multiple years, paid off and now it's
8:58
my full time thing. Right never say, know, there is so much
9:01
possibility in terms of setting these big goals for yourself. So I think one
9:07
thing that you should do is create an action plan on how you're going to
9:09
achieve all those goals that you set in the beginning of the year that you
9:13
haven't achieved yet for yourself, making sure you're prioritizing tasks to get to that
9:16
goal, maybe setting a timeline you want to finish them before the end of
9:20
the year. Maybe review that plan and remember to celebrate those small wins.
9:26
Again, small goals are so important to still celebrate. There's still something that
9:30
you achieved for yourself. You still went out of your way to achieve that
9:33
for yourself. So anyways, I wanted to highlight that because if you do
9:35
have a vision board, I do think it's time to review it and see
9:39
what you can do now to achieve as many of those goals as possible before
9:43
the end of the year. If you're someone that didn't create a vision board
9:46
at the end of the year, it's not too late. You can definitely
9:48
take the time to create a smaller vision board for yourself for the next sixty
9:52
days and really set goals for yourself that you want to achieve for yourself.
9:54
I never think it's too late to do something like that. At the end
9:58
of the day, you are working on yourself and that is so so important
10:01
that you're doing that for yourself. You're investing in your time and you're trying
10:05
to make yourself better. You're trying to become this version of yourself that you
10:07
strive to become. Another thing you're going to do is you're going to find
10:11
people who motivate you or inspire you. I personally think this is a huge
10:15
positive when it comes to social media. I love following influencers who motivate me
10:22
and who inspire me. I personally try to unfollow people that I personally find
10:26
doesn't make an impact in my life and doesn't create that positive mindset in my
10:31
life. If there's someone that I follow that I personally find is providing negativity
10:35
around them or just like negative vibes in general through their social media presence,
10:39
I will most likely unfollow them because I really want to follow people who inspire
10:43
me. If you're the kind of person that really needs some motivation to you
10:46
know, maybe get to the gym, and you don't know how to find
10:50
that motivation, well maybe it's important to find influencers who go to the gym
10:52
and create content around going to the gym. This might motivate you to get
10:56
your butt to the gym. Just an example, if you're feeling unmotivated lately
11:01
and you don't know how to get to the gym. It might be a
11:03
good motivational tool to follow someone that films gym content, which allows you to
11:09
stay motivated. So for me, I really really love to follow influencers who
11:11
inspire me, especially ones that have similar content to me, because that allows
11:16
me to always feel inspired and push myself to create the content that I enjoy
11:20
creating. Pinterest is honestly my best friend when it comes to work. I
11:24
find that's something that's always very inspirational and motivates me to achieve goals for myself
11:31
and just things in general. So yeah, I just think it's important to
11:35
really also have people in your life that might motivate you or inspire you.
11:39
Okay, Another one is learning a new skill or getting into a new hobby
11:43
before the end of the year. You guys know that I recently implemented a
11:46
new hobby into my lifestyle. I mean not a new hobby, but something
11:50
that I haven't done in a while. I think I mentioned it a few
11:54
episodes ago, but I have been wanting to get back into soccer. I
11:58
have not played soccer in I want to say seven eight years. Maybe I
12:03
stopped when I was in college just to focus on school and I recently got
12:07
back into it and I have to say that my first game was awesome.
12:13
It felt so good to be back. The second game was even better.
12:16
I didn't give you guys an update after my first game. I forgot,
12:18
but it was so fun to get back on the field. And we went
12:22
to a soccer dome, so it's not outdoors, just because it's really cold
12:24
here in Ottawa, and the dome that we play in is the dome I
12:28
used to plan when I was like fifteen or sixteen years old, which is
12:33
so crazy. It felt so weird to be back in the same spot that
12:35
I was literally ten years ago, and more than ten years ago, twelve
12:41
years ago, and it just felt really really weird, but also kind of
12:43
felt good to be back at something that I truly enjoy doing. And I'm
12:46
also playing with a few friends that I used to play with, which is
12:50
kind of funny. I played against my sister the last game, which was
12:52
super fun. She beat us, but that's just because they got a lot
12:56
of young people and my team were a bit older, so it was only
13:01
two one. But I'm not going to explain the game. But anyways,
13:03
the point is is that I got back into a hobby and I got out
13:07
of my comfort zone to get back into it, and it allows me to
13:11
get out of the house once a week, also be in a social environment,
13:13
and it's something that I really wanted to do for myself before the end
13:16
of the year. So if you're someone that wants to learn a new skill
13:20
or get into a hobby, I highly recommend trying to do that before the
13:24
end of the year. Learning a new skill could be something that you've been
13:28
really wanting to do, like maybe painting or maybe a pottery class, like
13:31
just trying something different. So yeah, okay. Another one is making changes
13:37
to your daily routine. I personally think that change is always a good thing.
13:43
If I compare my routine from the beginning of the year to now,
13:46
I wouldn't say it's like entirely different, but I have made changes in a
13:50
good way and they're just like the smallesttle things, and I feel like it's
13:52
always making improvements into my routine, like adding more supplements into my routine.
13:58
I've started to wake up at five am. I've never used to be a
14:01
five am girly ever in my life. That's something that I was really challenging
14:05
myself is something that I actually really enjoy and I feel really really good doing
14:09
the early morning routines. I've also changed up my breakfast. I used to
14:13
be that kind of person where I'd eat the same breakfast every single morning.
14:16
Now I've been including savory breakfasts. I've been changing my breakfasts up every single
14:22
morning. That is something I would have never done last year. I'm now
14:24
also taking up spinning. That was something completely new to me this year,
14:28
just getting into spin classes, doing that twice a week. It's a new
14:31
cardio workout for me and I absolutely love it. But that was something that
14:35
I never did in the beginning of the year. So just a lot of
14:37
things that I've changed. And if you're that kind of person where you might
14:41
not be a morning person at all and you want to become a morning person,
14:43
this is the time now to make that goal for yourself and change it
14:46
up. So for an example, as I said, if you're not a
14:48
morning person and you want to become one, maybe something you can do is
14:52
when you set your alarm, set your alarm fifteen minutes earlier then you typically
14:56
would do that for a few days, then set your alarm thirty minutes earlier
15:01
than an hour earlier. Just kind of push it each week, and eventually
15:05
you will start to become a morning person and it will start to become a
15:07
more consistent routine. So just trying things like that, where you're making changes
15:13
into your daily routine, changes into your healthy habits, I think is super
15:16
important. Okay, the next one is write it down. What I mean
15:20
by this is get yourself a planner, a journal, anything that you can
15:24
write down everything that you have to do within the day. I talk about
15:28
this all the time. I don't need to be repetitive about it, but
15:31
I truly believe in to do lists. And I don't mean it to do
15:33
list on your phone. I mean it to do list on a planner,
15:35
physical planner. Writing things down compared to typing on your phone is a complete
15:41
difference, in my opinion. If I write it down, it will be
15:43
stuck in my brain and I will remember for the entire day everything that I
15:48
have to get done for the day. If I write it on my phone,
15:50
I'm telling you right now, I'm gonna forget about in twenty minutes.
15:52
It's just there's some type of difference of physically writing stuff down versus having it
15:56
in your phone. To me, it's just it's a huge game changer and
16:00
I feel more organized. I feel like if I write everything down, it's
16:03
just I don't know. It could be a placebo thing where I just think
16:06
writing things down makes me feel more productive, But I don't know. I
16:10
feel like people who I've talked to who also write things down on a planner
16:12
agree that it just sticks to your mind and you just know that you have
16:17
to achieve all those things for yourself within that day. So that is something
16:21
I do every single morning, is just write everything out that I have to
16:23
get done for the day. And I truly believe I get everything done because
16:26
of me. Writing it in my planner is just something I believe in.
16:30
And another thing is journaling. I think journaling is obviously super important. I
16:34
think it's really really key to achieving goals for yourself as well. Even if
16:38
it's setting a goal for the week, you've written it in your journal every
16:42
single day. Realistically, it's probably gonna come true because you're setting your mind
16:47
to it, You're reminding yourself that you need to do this for yourself.
16:49
So writing everything down, I truly believe makes a huge difference and allows you
16:55
to work towards something that you really really want to achieve yourself. So you
17:00
don't have a planner, make sure to get one for the new year.
17:02
I'm telling you right now, it will change your life. I feel like
17:04
it's changed my life and I feel so much more organized, so much more
17:07
productive, and I always always always remember everything I write down, and yeah,
17:14
I truly just find it makes a difference. Okay, the next one
17:15
is challenge yourself and try something out of your comfort zone before the end of
17:21
the year. Maybe you want a career change, maybe you've thought about quitting
17:25
your nine to five job, maybe it's time to start a business. Challenging
17:29
yourself is so important. I feel like if you don't challenge yourself, then
17:33
you're never just going to take that risk. You just have to take the
17:36
risks sometimes and it's sometimes so worth it. It could be the biggest change
17:41
for you, and it could be the biggest impact for you. If you
17:45
haven't challenged yourself at all this year, you need to. It could be
17:47
the smallest thing, as I said. It could be, you know,
17:49
becoming a morning person, as I said, it could be quitting your job,
17:52
it could be maybe texting someone that you have a crush on that you've
17:56
been wanting to text, like, just take the risk. Another thing is
18:00
always making your health a priority. You guys know, healthy habits is so
18:06
important to include in your day to day life. But another thing we need
18:10
to think about not just you know, working out, drinking water every day,
18:15
eating healthy all that, we also need to make sure that we are
18:18
resting. We are booking our appointments, like our doctor's appointment, our dentist
18:21
appointment. I feel like that's something that I always forget to do, is
18:23
my wellness appointments. But it's really really important to have those check in appointments
18:27
and remember that you need to do these things in order to really take care
18:32
of your health. And another one is enjoying down time and making sure you're
18:36
getting enough sleep. Sleep is so important. I feel like people underestimate sleep
18:41
so much, but I truly believe that having enough sleep relies on how your
18:45
day is going to be throughout the day. Like, if you don't have
18:47
enough sleep, realisticly, your day's gonna be shit. If you had enough
18:49
sleep, you're probably gonna have more energy, You're gonna be more motivated,
18:52
you're gonna be more productive. So I think you really need to reevaluate your
18:56
sleeping schedule. If you feel you know, low energy, you feel like
19:00
you can't, you know, stay on top of things or anything like that,
19:03
maybe it's because it's your sleep schedule. So I think people really need
19:07
to make sleep a huge priority. And yeah, I feel like that's one
19:11
thing that people don't think about when they're not feeling one hundred percent if that
19:15
makes sense, like not feeling themselves. I truly believe that has something to
19:18
do with your sleep schedules. So anyways, making sure your health is a
19:22
priority. I mean even in the new year, obviously you want to make
19:26
that a priority. But if you haven't been making it a priority before the
19:30
end of the year, I think it's time to definitely make changes and just
19:33
you know, implementing more healthy habits if you can. Okay, lastly,
19:37
this is something that I truly believe always helps me out whenever I am in
19:41
a rut or just in general, starting a new week is always resetting my
19:45
space, decluttering, organizing spaces that you know you always try to avoid.
19:51
Last week, Zach and I had three drawers in our kitchen that we have
19:56
just like completely avoided for like I want to say, like eight months.
20:00
It's like just was not organized at all, and we finally were like,
20:03
we need to do this right now. We basically took the time, like
20:07
an hour of our day just organizing all the drawers that we had to get
20:11
done. And let me tell you, it felt so good to actually do
20:15
that, and it makes me want to organize more things in the house.
20:18
But I think organizing your space and cleaning your space is so important. I
20:22
always say a clean space means a clearer mind. My mind just feels so
20:26
much better when things are clean, tidied, organized, And I always find
20:30
setting a day, usually on my Sundays or my Monday, is just doing
20:33
a quick little tidy up around the house. It doesn't have to be a
20:37
big clean every single week. It doesn't have to be like an hour or
20:38
two hours. It could be a quick tidy up, just putting things where
20:42
they're supposed to go back to. Trust me, it feels so good.
20:45
And also it just motivates me throughout the day. If I do that little
20:48
twenty minute tidy up before my day, I'm okay, what else can I
20:52
do? Can I do laundry? Can I like I feel more motivated through
20:55
the day, or even just work related things. I'm like, Okay,
20:57
what task do I have to get done next. It's like an instant boost
21:00
of just motivation, I find. So just tidy up your home, declutter,
21:06
organizer space. If that's something that you've been avoiding, this is your
21:08
signed to do it now. I'm telling you right now, it's going to
21:11
feel so good to get it done, especially before the new year as well.
21:14
If you could start decluttering your space. One thing that I want to
21:17
do is declutter my closet and get rid of things, donate things, sell
21:21
things, all that, because I think that's going to feel so good going
21:23
into the new year with just a fresh slate almost of just like yeah,
21:29
just everything that I don't need to court right, Like, I just want
21:32
to get rid of certain things and just keep what I need because I definitely
21:37
don't need as much as I have in my closet right now and could go
21:38
to someone who could need it or will use it more than I do.
21:42
So that's definitely one thing I'm going to make a priority before the end of
21:45
the year. But those are just some tips on how to level up before
21:49
twenty twenty four. I definitely have more tips that I want to share that
21:52
I can do in a later episode as we get closer to the new year.
