Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: Hawkrel 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 Hawkgral energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:28
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, and welcome back to another episode. I apologize
0:33
Speaker 1: and advance for not posting last week. Last week was
0:37
Speaker 1: literally the most insane week with a bunch of things
0:41
Speaker 1: with work because obviously with Black Friday this week, there
0:44
Speaker 1: was a bunch of ads that I had to submit
0:47
Speaker 1: by a specific timeframe with buying a new vehicle, which
0:50
Speaker 1: was extremely time consuming, just signing paperwork, finding time to
0:54
Speaker 1: go pick up the car, all that. And on top
0:57
Speaker 1: of all that, I had a bit of a I
0:59
Speaker 1: want to say, like a little health scare that week
1:01
Speaker 1: that I didn't really talk about on my social media,
1:03
Speaker 1: but it was almost like a wake up call to
1:05
Speaker 1: me specifically just to like reevaluate my routine and just
1:10
Speaker 1: getting back into some certain healthy habits. So all in all,
1:15
Speaker 1: there was a lot of tears last week, A lot
1:16
Speaker 1: of happy tears, a lot of sad tears, Like I
1:18
Speaker 1: don't know, it was just like kind of a crazy
1:20
Speaker 1: week for me. But I feel like everything happens for
1:24
Speaker 1: a reason. I'm very much a believer in that, and
1:26
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just had a bit of a
1:28
Speaker 1: panic attack last week because I think I just wasn't
1:30
Speaker 1: really listening to my body and I wasn't taking care
1:32
Speaker 1: of it. And of course, you know, you can do
1:34
Speaker 1: all these workouts and you can eat healthy foods, but
1:36
Speaker 1: you're not always going to be feeling one hundred percent.
1:39
Speaker 1: There's other things that you need to keep in mind.
1:41
Speaker 1: And I think one thing for me that I always
1:43
Speaker 1: struggle with is dealing with my stress and managing it
1:47
Speaker 1: and telling my body to rest. I really do suck
1:50
Speaker 1: at that. And I was just having some symptoms that
1:53
Speaker 1: just really woke me up. Like I was having extreme
1:55
Speaker 1: hair loss last week, and that's a huge sign of
1:58
Speaker 1: being overly stressed. I was constantly having a tight chest,
2:02
Speaker 1: just to name a few symptoms that were happening last week.
2:04
Speaker 2: And I knew in that moment, I was like, I.
2:06
Speaker 1: Am overworking myself, I'm overstressing myself out. I really need
2:11
Speaker 1: to take a step back and just relax and not
2:14
Speaker 1: put too much pressure on myself. So this is your
2:17
Speaker 1: sign that it's okay to let your body rest and
2:20
Speaker 1: to not overdo it. And I think I was just
2:22
Speaker 1: overdoing it these past few weeks. So all in all,
2:25
Speaker 1: I just really had a bit of a wake up
2:27
Speaker 1: call last week, and I'm like, I need to do
2:28
Speaker 1: things that you know, allow my body to slow down
2:31
Speaker 1: and just take a step back and do things that
2:35
Speaker 1: help manage my stress better.
2:36
Speaker 2: I e.
2:37
Speaker 1: You know, getting back into meditation in the mornings and
2:40
Speaker 1: at night, even if it's just for five to ten minutes,
2:42
Speaker 1: trying to do more slow breathing, you know, reevaluating my
2:46
Speaker 1: to do lists and planners, and being more realistic about
2:49
Speaker 1: what I can actually achieve throughout the day.
2:51
Speaker 2: All that. Like, there's multiple things that I can do.
2:52
Speaker 1: I think going into the new year, I really want
2:55
Speaker 1: to manage these things beforehand. And I'm just feeling more
2:58
Speaker 1: motivated to get my shit in gear again. And you
3:02
Speaker 1: guys know me, whenever we enter a new year, I'm
3:04
Speaker 1: feeling so motivated going into every single year because I'm
3:08
Speaker 1: excited about things that we want to achieve for ourselves
3:10
Speaker 1: and just overall becoming our best selves. So this episode
3:14
Speaker 1: today is really going to be about.
3:15
Speaker 2: The Winter Arc era.
3:16
Speaker 1: And I'm sure a lot of you guys have probably
3:17
Speaker 1: heard of this all over social media, but the Winter
3:20
Speaker 1: Arc is essentially doing everything that you want to achieve
3:23
Speaker 1: for yourself before the end of the year. Like, why
3:26
Speaker 1: are we starting in twenty twenty five, Let's start now.
3:29
Speaker 1: I personally feel like I've just had this extra motivation
3:31
Speaker 1: this week to really just get back into certain habits
3:35
Speaker 1: and certain things just to better my health, to feel
3:37
Speaker 1: better for myself all that, and we're gonna talk a
3:40
Speaker 1: lot about it in today's episode, But personally, just one
3:43
Speaker 1: thing for me that I found has really helped and
3:46
Speaker 1: just helped manage my stress better and all that is
3:48
Speaker 1: getting up earlier again, because I think one thing for
3:50
Speaker 1: me is, you know, even just sleeping in an extra
3:53
Speaker 1: hour and not making my workout class as a priority
3:56
Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be, it kind of fucked
4:00
Speaker 1: my day to be fully transparent, Like I personally find
4:03
Speaker 1: waking up and getting a workout in at six thirty
4:05
Speaker 1: or seven o'clock and then coming home and not having
4:08
Speaker 1: to worry about that, like that's one thing that's already done.
4:11
Speaker 2: I just come home ten times more motivated, and I.
4:13
Speaker 1: Think that's something that I just forget sometimes I think, Oh,
4:17
Speaker 1: if I do a workout class at noon, it's not
4:19
Speaker 1: a big deal, Like, you know, I'll still.
4:21
Speaker 2: Get a workout end for the day.
4:22
Speaker 1: I think for me, I think just getting that out
4:25
Speaker 1: of the way in the beginning of the day, it's
4:27
Speaker 1: just one less thing to worry about and I can
4:28
Speaker 1: focus on everything else that I need to get done
4:30
Speaker 1: throughout the day. So for me personally, I realized how
4:33
Speaker 1: much I actually enjoy just getting everything done in one shot,
4:37
Speaker 1: specifically in the early mornings. So I've been back at
4:40
Speaker 1: my five thirty in the morning routine, and honestly, I've
4:44
Speaker 1: been loving it. And I think it was just a
4:46
Speaker 1: wake up call to me to just get back into that,
4:48
Speaker 1: and I feel good throughout my day. I feel more
4:50
Speaker 1: productive throughout my day knowing that my workout's done, you know,
4:54
Speaker 1: my journaling's done, my to do list is done, all that.
4:56
Speaker 1: Like I just feel ten times more productive when I
4:59
Speaker 1: wake up earlier, And like that's literally waking up an
5:01
Speaker 1: hour earlier than usual, Like it's really not that big
5:04
Speaker 1: of a deal, but it does make a huge difference
5:06
Speaker 1: in my current routine. So that's just like one step
5:08
Speaker 1: that I'm doing going into the new year. I'm trying
5:11
Speaker 1: to achieve and maintain that early morning routine because I
5:15
Speaker 1: know how good it makes me feel. And it's just
5:18
Speaker 1: a goal that I've been setting for myself, is to
5:20
Speaker 1: wake up early and get those morning workouts done and
5:23
Speaker 1: all that to have a great start to the day
5:25
Speaker 1: and feel productive and all that. So that's something that
5:29
Speaker 1: I've done that I'm just trying to yeah, take in
5:32
Speaker 1: before the new year. But before we get into this
5:34
Speaker 1: guide that I've created for becoming the best of You
5:36
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five, I want to talk about some
5:38
Speaker 1: things that happened last week. As most of you know,
5:41
Speaker 1: I did end up buying a car, which was so
5:45
Speaker 1: freakin' unreal, guys, Like I was so freakin happy to
5:48
Speaker 1: have bought my dream car. I still coulnot believe that happened.
5:53
Speaker 1: That was not on my vision board at all. Like
5:55
Speaker 1: I was not expecting to buy a new vehicle. I've
5:57
Speaker 1: always kept telling myself, like, oh, I could get a
6:00
Speaker 1: new car, Like I'd love to be able to buy
6:02
Speaker 1: a range Rover, Like I've wanted a range Rover for
6:05
Speaker 1: the past five years. I've always talked about it I've
6:07
Speaker 1: never really physically put it on my vision board, just
6:09
Speaker 1: because maybe in my head I didn't think it was possible.
6:12
Speaker 1: I don't know which, Kayleie, why are you even saying that,
6:14
Speaker 1: here's me motivating you guys that anything is possible if
6:16
Speaker 1: you set your mind to it.
6:17
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I just never put it on
6:20
Speaker 2: my vision board.
6:21
Speaker 1: I think also because with planning the wedding and all that,
6:23
Speaker 1: I was so focused on getting my dream wedding and
6:27
Speaker 1: everything wedding related. I wasn't really thinking of other personal
6:30
Speaker 1: goals that I wanted to achieve for myself. So, you know,
6:33
Speaker 1: it was a bit of a shock to the system
6:34
Speaker 1: because when I sold my car, I was like, okay,
6:38
Speaker 1: now what, like what do I do? I started test
6:40
Speaker 1: driving random cars and my Dad's like, okay, well, how much.
6:43
Speaker 2: Money you want to put down? What do you want
6:44
Speaker 2: your monthly payments to be?
6:46
Speaker 1: And you know, once I kind of realized what I
6:48
Speaker 1: could spend and you know what I had, I was like,
6:52
Speaker 1: I could actually get my dream car, Like I could
6:55
Speaker 1: get my freaking dream car. So I did it. I
6:58
Speaker 1: bought a range Rover and and it was the best decision.
7:02
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with my car. I actually feel excited to
7:06
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store, to go to my workout classes,
7:09
Speaker 1: all that.
7:09
Speaker 2: I don't know.
7:10
Speaker 1: It's just like a little motivation of happiness every time
7:13
Speaker 1: I get in my vehicle just to drive somewhere. Of Course,
7:15
Speaker 1: everybody loves something new, Let's be honest. It's always a
7:19
Speaker 1: fun feeling to have a new car, or a new bag,
7:22
Speaker 1: or just something new that happens in your life, a
7:25
Speaker 1: new home, moving into a new space. It just feels
7:27
Speaker 1: like a new energy, a new start, a new beginning.
7:31
Speaker 1: And so for me, like having this car, I think
7:33
Speaker 1: was a really pinch me moment. Like I think this
7:36
Speaker 1: by far was probably my biggest purchase I've ever made
7:39
Speaker 1: for myself. Of Course, I've purchased a home with Zach,
7:43
Speaker 1: and don't get me wrong, that's a huge purchase, but
7:45
Speaker 1: that was with someone else. I've never really done a
7:47
Speaker 1: big purchase for myself. So I feel like this was
7:50
Speaker 1: the moment that made me realize that, holy freaking shit, Kaylee,
7:53
Speaker 1: you did that. You worked your ass off to get
7:56
Speaker 1: to that point and to be able to afford that.
7:59
Speaker 2: At twenty eight years old is crazy to me.
8:02
Speaker 1: And I think my dad was also just beyond proud
8:05
Speaker 1: of me and just kept telling myself like.
8:07
Speaker 2: Hey, do you realize what you just did?
8:09
Speaker 1: My dad almost just reminded me of how proud I
8:12
Speaker 1: should be of myself for getting to this point in
8:14
Speaker 1: my life and not gonna lie. I had some happy
8:16
Speaker 1: tears after my dad told me that, because I don't
8:18
Speaker 1: think I really realized like what's happening, Like what is
8:22
Speaker 1: truly happening in this moment. And I'm just so beyond
8:25
Speaker 1: grateful for each and every single one of you who
8:28
Speaker 1: support me or who listen to my podcast or who
8:31
Speaker 1: watch my YouTube videos, like I'm truly here to help
8:33
Speaker 1: you guys and motivate you guys that you guys can
8:35
Speaker 1: do anything and achieve anything for yourself. And yeah, I
8:41
Speaker 1: think that was truly the most pinched me moment and
8:44
Speaker 1: I'm so beyond grateful.
8:45
Speaker 2: So, if anything, this is your.
8:46
Speaker 1: Sign that no matter what, you can achieve anything you
8:49
Speaker 1: set your mind to. If it's a new career, if
8:51
Speaker 1: it's you know, becoming your own boss, if it's buying
8:54
Speaker 1: your dream car, if it's you know, having your dream wedding,
8:57
Speaker 1: it can all happen as long as you set your
8:58
Speaker 1: mind to it. So I just want that to be
9:01
Speaker 1: a reminder for you guys, because it truly was a
9:03
Speaker 1: pinch me moment and something I never thought would even happen,
9:06
Speaker 1: to be honest. So that was a pretty cool experience
9:09
Speaker 1: last week. So let's get into this episode. So for starters,
9:13
Speaker 1: let's talk about the first thing that everyone needs to
9:15
Speaker 1: do when we're talking about the Winter arc.
9:18
Speaker 2: I think the first thing that everyone needs to do
9:20
Speaker 2: is do weekly goal setting.
9:23
Speaker 1: So every week, get a planner, get a piece of paper,
9:25
Speaker 1: write three goals that you want to achieve yourself each week.
9:28
Speaker 2: And it could be the smallest things.
9:30
Speaker 1: It could be I want to wake up at five
9:31
Speaker 1: point thirty every single day this week. I want to
9:34
Speaker 1: make sure I'm journaling every single day this week. I
9:36
Speaker 1: want to make sure that I cook at home meals
9:38
Speaker 1: every single night. I don't want to order takeout anything
9:40
Speaker 1: like that. It could be the smallest goals, but it
9:42
Speaker 1: could also be the biggest goals. I think another important
9:45
Speaker 1: thing to do is if you did create a vision
9:47
Speaker 1: board for twenty twenty four, this is your sign to
9:49
Speaker 1: go revisit it. What are things that you put on
9:52
Speaker 1: your vision board for this year that you still haven't
9:54
Speaker 1: achieved that you want to achieve.
9:55
Speaker 2: Before the end of the year. That right there is.
9:58
Speaker 1: Going to be a huge boost of mone motivation and
10:00
Speaker 1: a huge reminder to yourself that you need to get
10:03
Speaker 1: your shit and gear and figure out how you're going
10:05
Speaker 1: to achieve these goals on your vision board in the
10:08
Speaker 1: next thirty five days. You hear me, there's thirty five
10:11
Speaker 1: days until January first, which is absolutely crazy. So revisit
10:16
Speaker 1: your vision board. Think about goals that you want to
10:18
Speaker 1: set each week. Again, it could be easy, it could
10:20
Speaker 1: be big ones, and think about how you're going to
10:23
Speaker 1: actually achieve those things that you set your mind to
10:26
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four. One thing for me on my
10:28
Speaker 1: vision board that I have not completed this year is
10:31
Speaker 1: starting my own brand. I don't know if I've brought
10:33
Speaker 1: that up here on the podcast, but I am starting
10:35
Speaker 1: my own brand. I'm not going to talk about which
10:37
Speaker 1: category or anything like that, but this is my sign
10:39
Speaker 1: looking at my vision board that I need to get
10:41
Speaker 1: started on this now instead of waiting until twenty twenty five.
10:44
Speaker 1: Because starting a brand is not an easy process. It's
10:47
Speaker 1: not something that you just you know, start in two
10:49
Speaker 1: months and then it becomes a business. It's a long process.
10:52
Speaker 1: It usually takes about a year or sometimes even two
10:55
Speaker 1: years to really nail down just the product that you're
10:59
Speaker 1: about to sell.
10:59
Speaker 2: All Like, I really want this.
11:01
Speaker 1: To be the most top quality items that I do
11:05
Speaker 1: provide to you guys. So I'm gonna be really really
11:08
Speaker 1: keen on making this brand everything I wanted to be
11:11
Speaker 1: in more. I want it to be a brand or
11:13
Speaker 1: a product that I would support. So definitely something I'm
11:17
Speaker 1: very excited about, but something that I know takes a
11:20
Speaker 1: lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot
11:22
Speaker 1: of hard work. So that's something that I've really wanted
11:24
Speaker 1: to make a priority before the end of this year.
11:26
Speaker 1: The next thing you're gonna do is find one thing
11:28
Speaker 1: that motivates you. One thing that motivates me that I
11:31
Speaker 1: just recently talked about is waking up early. I don't
11:33
Speaker 1: know what it is. There's something about waking up at
11:36
Speaker 1: five point thirty and getting everything done before nine am
11:39
Speaker 1: right there, just makes me feel ten times better about
11:42
Speaker 1: myself knowing that everything is done before nine am, and
11:45
Speaker 1: for the rest of the day, I can just focus
11:47
Speaker 1: on filming content, editing content, all that all my healthy
11:50
Speaker 1: habits are done within a period of time in the
11:53
Speaker 1: morning and I feel good going into the rest of
11:55
Speaker 1: the day. So that's something that really motivates me. And
11:57
Speaker 1: what really pushes me is knowing that I can wake
12:00
Speaker 1: up and get everything done before my day started.
12:02
Speaker 2: I also love to do daily to do list. I
12:05
Speaker 2: feel like.
12:05
Speaker 1: It's very satisfying to check things off your list throughout
12:10
Speaker 1: the day. I feel like it motivates me to get
12:13
Speaker 1: more shit done and just completing it. And you know,
12:15
Speaker 1: sometimes you get so busy and you don't have time
12:17
Speaker 1: to make it to do list. But I think those
12:19
Speaker 1: little things where when you take a step back and
12:22
Speaker 1: you realize, like it takes two minutes to get a
12:25
Speaker 1: piece of paper out, write everything you have to get
12:27
Speaker 1: done for the day, check it off all that Like,
12:29
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if anyone else is
12:31
Speaker 1: like that, but for me taking the time to just
12:33
Speaker 1: do these to do lists and writing things down and
12:36
Speaker 1: checking it off throughout the day, it motivates me to
12:38
Speaker 1: keep going and getting more shit done. So those are
12:41
Speaker 1: two little things that I feel like. I always remind
12:44
Speaker 1: myself that if you know, I'm overly stressed or I'm
12:46
Speaker 1: overly busy and I don't have time to you know,
12:48
Speaker 1: take five minutes aside to do that. I tell myself that, hey, Kayley, yeah,
12:52
Speaker 1: you can take five minutes out of your day to
12:54
Speaker 1: do this, and if you have to work an extra
12:57
Speaker 1: ten minutes throughout the night, do it doesn't matter. Taking
13:00
Speaker 1: that extra five minutes throughout your day just to write
13:02
Speaker 1: things down really helps me out.
13:05
Speaker 2: And everyone's different.
13:06
Speaker 1: Obviously, but for me, that's a little thing that always
13:09
Speaker 1: motivates me to get more stuff done, is just making
13:11
Speaker 1: those daily to do lists. Another thing you're gonna do
13:14
Speaker 1: is you're going to reevaluate your routine. What are changes
13:17
Speaker 1: that you might need to make in your daily routine.
13:19
Speaker 1: Is it maybe shifting to a night routine versus a
13:22
Speaker 1: morning routine. Maybe you've realized that, oh I'm not a
13:24
Speaker 1: morning person. I want to start doing all my healthy
13:27
Speaker 1: habits at night. So right after work, I go to
13:29
Speaker 1: a workout class, I come home, I do my journaling,
13:33
Speaker 1: I take a shower, I cook dinner, I set the tone,
13:36
Speaker 1: I set the vibe in my living room to have
13:38
Speaker 1: a chill night, scrolling on Pinterest, whatever the case may be.
13:41
Speaker 1: Find a routine that works for you. And if you
13:43
Speaker 1: don't have a routine, right now, maybe this is your
13:46
Speaker 1: sign to start one. Whether it's a morning routine or
13:48
Speaker 1: a night routine, it is life changing. When you have
13:52
Speaker 1: a routine, it feels so good just to get those
13:55
Speaker 1: little stuff done. And I'm telling you right now again,
13:57
Speaker 1: it's just something that's going to make you feel ten
13:59
Speaker 1: times more productive, ten times more motivated. Having a structured
14:02
Speaker 1: routine is a feeling you can't even describe. It's just
14:05
Speaker 1: something that makes you feel good going into each day
14:09
Speaker 1: or something that feels good coming home to do each night.
14:11
Speaker 1: So you need to figure out what's best for you
14:13
Speaker 1: and your career. If you're someone that works a nursing
14:16
Speaker 1: shift and you're working a twelve hour day from six
14:19
Speaker 1: to six, then maybe it's best to do a night routine. Again,
14:22
Speaker 1: it just has to work within your schedule. But I
14:24
Speaker 1: can promise you that you can structure a routine in
14:27
Speaker 1: any possible way with any career that you have.
14:30
Speaker 2: I love this one.
14:31
Speaker 1: Finding people who motivate you or inspire you. There are
14:35
Speaker 1: so many amazing influencers on social media that you can
14:38
Speaker 1: follow that really just give you that positive energy or
14:42
Speaker 1: just uplifting people who motivate you to get shit done
14:46
Speaker 1: with your life or achieve your goals for yourself. I
14:49
Speaker 1: hope that maybe I'm one of your inspirational influencers or
14:52
Speaker 1: someone that motivates you or inspires you, because that's what
14:55
Speaker 1: I try to do. But maybe there's someone else that
14:58
Speaker 1: you have in your life that really motivates you and
15:00
Speaker 1: inspires you. It could be a family member, could be
15:03
Speaker 1: a friend, could be a sibling like your sister or brother.
15:05
Speaker 1: It could be Pinterest. We all know how much I
15:08
Speaker 1: find Pinterest truly does inspire me constantly. I'm looking at
15:13
Speaker 1: it daily and I do find it helps me structure
15:16
Speaker 1: my life, structure my goals. Pinterest is truly my favorite
15:20
Speaker 1: app in the entire world, and I do find it's
15:22
Speaker 1: the best way to motivate myself and inspire myself.
15:24
Speaker 2: But I do have a lot.
15:25
Speaker 1: Of comfort influencers that I watch on YouTube that I
15:27
Speaker 1: truly am so inspired by. One in particular is Whitney Simmons.
15:31
Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys have heard of her.
15:32
Speaker 1: She's been a og YouTuber four years. I have watched
15:36
Speaker 1: her since the start. She doesn't really do YouTube anymore,
15:39
Speaker 1: she's more TikTok now, but she started to follow me,
15:42
Speaker 1: and I kid you not. I think I screamed and
15:45
Speaker 1: ran around the entire house for solid ten minutes because
15:48
Speaker 1: I was in complete shock that someone I grew up
15:51
Speaker 1: watching starts to follow me and comments on my tiktoks
15:55
Speaker 1: like that to me was a true pinch me moment.
15:58
Speaker 1: Another influencer that I always really loved was Sammy Clark
16:01
Speaker 1: and Chrisichella. Those are the two girls that really motivated
16:04
Speaker 1: me to start a healthy journey of just you know,
16:07
Speaker 1: getting into workouts, eating healthy all that. I love Christy Chella,
16:11
Speaker 1: I love Sammy Clark, both amazing women, two women that
16:14
Speaker 1: also follow me, that also engage with my content, and
16:17
Speaker 1: again so incredibly grateful to see these women that I
16:21
Speaker 1: was so inspired by for so many years. I truly
16:23
Speaker 1: think following comfort influencers who provide motivational or inspiring content
16:29
Speaker 1: is so important to have. Like, we don't want to
16:32
Speaker 1: follow people who provide negative energy. We want to follow
16:35
Speaker 1: people who provide positive impact in your life and people
16:39
Speaker 1: that are constantly inspiring you. I think the best way
16:41
Speaker 1: to think of it is think of the people that
16:43
Speaker 1: you follow on Instagram or TikTok as your friends. I
16:47
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to follow someone that provided negative energy or
16:50
Speaker 1: negative things that didn't fulfill me. Like if my friends
16:53
Speaker 1: were providing negative energy all the time, if they're making
16:56
Speaker 1: you feel down or they're just not supporting you in
16:59
Speaker 1: any way, why do you want to be friends with
17:00
Speaker 1: that person? So why would you want to follow someone
17:03
Speaker 1: like that? I see my best friend who's become a
17:05
Speaker 1: mom and has completely entered a new phase in her life,
17:09
Speaker 1: and I find that so inspiring. To see someone who's
17:12
Speaker 1: my age that I grew up with that has just
17:14
Speaker 1: gone into motherhood and she's done such an amazing job
17:16
Speaker 1: at it, and that, to me is so inspiring. So
17:19
Speaker 1: having someone like that is someone that I want to
17:22
Speaker 1: have in my life. I think that's the best way
17:23
Speaker 1: to describe it. Is following the people that you have
17:25
Speaker 1: on social media. Think of them as your friends, and
17:28
Speaker 1: if you actually want to be friends with them, do
17:30
Speaker 1: they provide a good impact in your life? Are they
17:32
Speaker 1: providing positive energy?
17:34
Speaker 2: All that?
17:35
Speaker 1: All?
17:35
Speaker 2: Right?
17:35
Speaker 1: I love this next one because this is something I
17:37
Speaker 1: actually did for myself this week.
17:39
Speaker 2: But book yourself a.
17:41
Speaker 1: Feel good appointment, and what I mean by that is
17:44
Speaker 1: just book an appointment that makes.
17:45
Speaker 2: You truly feel your best self.
17:48
Speaker 1: So this next one is by far my favorite, and
17:53
Speaker 1: that is book yourself a feel good appointment. What is
17:55
Speaker 1: an appointment that you love to do that makes you
17:58
Speaker 1: feel good throughout the day or makes you feel good
18:00
Speaker 1: wrote the week, the month, whatever the case may be,
18:02
Speaker 1: little things like getting your nails done, getting your hair done,
18:05
Speaker 1: Like maybe you haven't done that in a while. I
18:07
Speaker 1: might just boost your confidence and make you feel ten
18:09
Speaker 1: times better by just getting that little glow up done.
18:12
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, We're female. We love to have a
18:15
Speaker 1: confidence boost, whether it's getting our makeup done, getting your
18:18
Speaker 1: hair done, getting our nails done, getting.
18:19
Speaker 2: A spray tan.
18:20
Speaker 1: Like you guys know how much I love a tan.
18:22
Speaker 1: If I'm feeling down and I feel like I look
18:24
Speaker 1: like shit, I will go book a spray tan appointment
18:27
Speaker 1: and feel like a new human the next day. I'm
18:29
Speaker 1: not even over exaggerating, you guys know how much I
18:30
Speaker 1: love spray tands. But I truly do feel like having
18:32
Speaker 1: a tan just boost my confidence and boost my mood
18:35
Speaker 1: and I feel so good going into the week or
18:38
Speaker 1: the day.
18:39
Speaker 2: But I did actually.
18:40
Speaker 1: Book myself a random feel good appointment this week, and
18:43
Speaker 1: that was a massage.
18:44
Speaker 2: I have not gone a massage in like.
18:46
Speaker 1: A year, so I knew it was my sign to
18:48
Speaker 1: take a step back, and you know, I know massages
18:50
Speaker 1: usually help when you're feeling really stressed. I felt like
18:52
Speaker 1: my body was just super tight, and with me overly
18:56
Speaker 1: working out, you know, five to six times a week,
18:58
Speaker 1: I knew my body just needed have some muscles just
19:01
Speaker 1: really worked on and.
19:04
Speaker 2: It just felt so good. Guys.
19:05
Speaker 1: I got the appointment done on Monday, and again it
19:08
Speaker 1: was just taking an hour to myself.
19:10
Speaker 2: There was a sauna there.
19:12
Speaker 1: I really just kind of shut everything out around me.
19:14
Speaker 1: I put my phone on do not disturb of just
19:16
Speaker 1: pure relaxation and just feeling completely stress free by getting
19:20
Speaker 1: the massage done all that, like, it was the best
19:23
Speaker 1: decision and it made me feel so good going into
19:26
Speaker 1: this week because I took that time to myself to
19:29
Speaker 1: do a feel good appointment. So this is your sign
19:32
Speaker 1: that you need to have a feel good appointment and
19:34
Speaker 1: you need to go book something that will make you
19:36
Speaker 1: feel good or will boost your confidence. It could also
19:39
Speaker 1: be maybe just something to do at home. So maybe
19:41
Speaker 1: if you don't like booking appointments and you like to
19:43
Speaker 1: do things at home, take thirty minutes aside to do
19:46
Speaker 1: your own nails or take in everything, shower or do
19:49
Speaker 1: a self tan, something that's just gonna make you feel good.
19:52
Speaker 1: Another thing you should do to become your best self
19:54
Speaker 1: is challenge yourself. Try something out of your comfort zone.
19:58
Speaker 1: Maybe it's trying a new hobby. Maybe it's something that
20:01
Speaker 1: you want to change in your life. This is the
20:03
Speaker 1: time now to reevaluate your life. Is there something that
20:06
Speaker 1: you wanted to do for a really long period of
20:08
Speaker 1: time and you're just trying to get out of this
20:11
Speaker 1: slump and you're trying to look towards the future and
20:14
Speaker 1: really create that future you.
20:15
Speaker 2: Is it maybe.
20:16
Speaker 1: Changing up your career. There's so many things you can
20:19
Speaker 1: think about to challenge yourself. As I said, it could
20:22
Speaker 1: just be trying new things out by trying a new hobby.
20:24
Speaker 1: It could be trying out new workout classes, going to
20:27
Speaker 1: a new gym, like doing things out of your comfort
20:29
Speaker 1: zone is so important because the benefits are so worth it,
20:33
Speaker 1: seeing personal growth, seeing more confidence. It will make you
20:37
Speaker 1: feel more creative, there's benefits to your mental health. There's
20:40
Speaker 1: so many amazing things that come out of it. I
20:42
Speaker 1: think one thing for me that was really out of
20:44
Speaker 1: my comfort zone that I did in the beginning of
20:46
Speaker 1: this year was reformer plates. I have no idea why,
20:50
Speaker 1: but every single time I went to map pilates, there
20:53
Speaker 1: was always a reformer room beside it, and I was
20:56
Speaker 1: always so intimidated by the machine.
20:57
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was.
20:59
Speaker 1: I just felt like it was so scary, and I'm like,
21:01
Speaker 1: I would never be able to do that, Like it
21:03
Speaker 1: just felt I don't know, something that I would never
21:05
Speaker 1: thought of doing.
21:06
Speaker 2: And then in the beginning of this.
21:08
Speaker 1: Year, I decided one morning, I was just like, forget,
21:10
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it, something out of my comfort zone.
21:12
Speaker 2: Let's just see if I like it.
21:14
Speaker 1: And I became obsessed with it and now I do
21:16
Speaker 1: it literally three times a week since March of this year.
21:20
Speaker 1: So that was something that was very much out of
21:22
Speaker 1: my comfort zone and something that I didn't really want
21:24
Speaker 1: to do, But once I started to do it, it
21:27
Speaker 1: made me realize how much I loved it, and I
21:28
Speaker 1: did something out of my comfort zone and I was
21:31
Speaker 1: able to just kind of achieve something for myself by
21:34
Speaker 1: being able to, yeah, try something new out.
21:37
Speaker 2: Another thing that's.
21:39
Speaker 1: Super super important is always making your health a priority,
21:43
Speaker 1: making sure you're implementing healthy habits into your routine daily,
21:47
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, taking thirty minutes aside to do
21:50
Speaker 1: a workout or going on a walk for thirty minutes,
21:52
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, it's so so crucial to
21:55
Speaker 1: just take that thirty minutes out of your day to
21:58
Speaker 1: put yourself first. Of course, everyone has extremely busy work schedules,
22:03
Speaker 1: but I think sometimes it's important to take a step
22:05
Speaker 1: back and realize what's also important, and that is our health.
22:09
Speaker 1: Now that I've adjusted my routine and I've been waking
22:11
Speaker 1: up at that like five thirty six thirty mark for me,
22:14
Speaker 1: I was able to adjust my routine and wake up
22:16
Speaker 1: an hour earlier than usual because it made me feel
22:19
Speaker 1: less stressed throughout the day by waking up that one
22:22
Speaker 1: hour earlier in the morning to get everything that I
22:24
Speaker 1: wanted to get done before the day started. So again,
22:28
Speaker 1: make your health a priority by reevaluating things, changing up
22:31
Speaker 1: your routine, kind of like all the touch points that
22:33
Speaker 1: I've talked about here, booking that feel good appointment, all that,
22:36
Speaker 1: I think it's all about making your health a priority
22:39
Speaker 1: and taking a step back and realizing what the most
22:43
Speaker 1: important thing in the world is, which is again your health,
22:46
Speaker 1: not your job or anything that is the most important part,
22:49
Speaker 1: and doing these little things really do make a huge difference.
22:52
Speaker 2: This next one, I think will really just change your life.
22:55
Speaker 1: I'm not even over exaggerating, and that is decluttering and
22:59
Speaker 1: organizing your spaces. Let me tell you, Zach and I
23:02
Speaker 1: have planned for December twenty seventh till December twenty ninth.
23:07
Speaker 2: Okay, we have.
23:09
Speaker 1: Three dates that we're literally making a priority inner schedule.
23:13
Speaker 2: Okay, to completely declutter.
23:16
Speaker 1: Everything in our home. I want to do a huge
23:19
Speaker 1: purge in the entire house. I'm talking the pantry, I'm
23:22
Speaker 1: talking the closets, every single closet in my house, the
23:25
Speaker 1: code closet, our individual closets, our basement, storage room, under
23:29
Speaker 1: our sinks in the bathroom. Like, I want to go
23:32
Speaker 1: through every single part of my home and completely purge it.
23:35
Speaker 1: I want to donate things, I want to get rid
23:37
Speaker 1: of things. I just need to do a cleanse going
23:40
Speaker 1: into the new year. But these are things that I
23:42
Speaker 1: need to get done before the end of the year
23:44
Speaker 1: so I can end off the year on a high note.
23:46
Speaker 1: So this is your sign that if you don't have
23:48
Speaker 1: any dates booked for a weekend to declutter your home,
23:51
Speaker 1: you need to do this because I'm telling you right now,
23:53
Speaker 1: it's going to feel so good going into the new
23:55
Speaker 1: year with the clear mind, with the clear space, knowing
23:58
Speaker 1: that everything is organs, all your clothes going into the
24:02
Speaker 1: new year is exactly what you envisioned for your style
24:05
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. Everything you can possibly think of,
24:08
Speaker 1: Declutter it, organize it. It's going to be like changing.
24:11
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, I get so excited just
24:13
Speaker 1: thinking about it. So remember this conversation and put this
24:16
Speaker 1: in your schedule to plan a day or two with
24:19
Speaker 1: your partner or with your best friend and do a
24:22
Speaker 1: declutter in your home. The last thing we're going to
24:25
Speaker 1: be doing before the end of twenty twenty five is
24:28
Speaker 1: we're going to be planning our new year now.
24:30
Speaker 2: So what does twenty twenty five look for you?
24:33
Speaker 1: I think it's important starting now to take time aside
24:37
Speaker 1: on your weekend, whether it's a Sunday night or a
24:40
Speaker 1: Saturday night, going on Pinterest, just scrolling through and figure
24:43
Speaker 1: out what are your goals for twenty twenty five. What
24:46
Speaker 1: do you want to change? Do you want a career change?
24:49
Speaker 1: Do you want to completely change your style up? You know,
24:52
Speaker 1: get rid of some clothes, buy new clothes. Do you
24:54
Speaker 1: want to have a really big goal by buying your
24:57
Speaker 1: first dream home, or planning a wedding, or a buying.
25:00
Speaker 2: A new car?
25:01
Speaker 1: Like go on Pinterest once a week, scroll through, figure
25:04
Speaker 1: out one goal each night before going into twenty twenty
25:07
Speaker 1: five that you want to achieve for the new year,
25:10
Speaker 1: and you're going to start planning your new year now.
25:12
Speaker 1: I am all about getting a head start on planning
25:15
Speaker 1: for the new year. I don't think it should be
25:17
Speaker 1: done on January first. I think it should be done
25:19
Speaker 1: on December first, because if we're going to be achieving
25:22
Speaker 1: big goals for yourself, it doesn't take a day to
25:24
Speaker 1: just plan a complete vision board. It takes an entire
25:27
Speaker 1: month in my opinion, finding these images, just really structuring
25:31
Speaker 1: how you want your goals to look like for the
25:33
Speaker 1: new year. There's a lot of different types of goals too,
25:36
Speaker 1: We've talked about in previous episodes. But you have your
25:38
Speaker 1: health goals, you have your personal goals, you have your
25:40
Speaker 1: business goals. Like there's so many different kinds of goals
25:43
Speaker 1: that you want to achieve for yourself. So I think
25:45
Speaker 1: you need to take the time now and start thinking
25:47
Speaker 1: about how you want to structure your twenty twenty five
25:50
Speaker 1: year and how we're going.
25:52
Speaker 2: To make it your best year yet.
25:53
Speaker 1: So that is today's episode, guys. I really hope you
25:57
Speaker 1: guys enjoyed this episode of becoming the best you before
26:00
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. As I said, we are in our
26:02
Speaker 1: winter arc era, which means we are striving to become
26:05
Speaker 1: the best possible version of ourself before twenty twenty five,
26:08
Speaker 1: but also making sure that we're ready to start the
26:11
Speaker 1: new year with everything we need, including our vision boards,
26:14
Speaker 1: our goal setting all that we are going to be
26:16
Speaker 1: prepped and ready before the new year even starts, and
26:19
Speaker 1: we're going to feel good and motivated to get shit
26:22
Speaker 1: done for twenty twenty five.
