• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that you need to prepare now for your future self.

• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and that is quickly approaching. So I want you to

• 0:55
  Speaker 1: starts with these quick check ins. Hope you're doing well.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: One of the greatest life hacks that I've used over
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the last few or several years, actually has been gratitude.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Gratitude is the best way for you to recognize all
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the blessings you have in front of you. So often
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: we get caught up in our lives and in the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: world and we miss all of the great things that
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: are happening in our lives or things that have happened,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and so gratitude is a life hack that helps to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: open up your world. I do want to talk to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you about another life hack that helps to do a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: similar thing, and that hack is movement. I say this
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a lot and movement matters. Movement is a great way
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to start clarity in your life. You don't need anything
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: perfectly planned. You can simply just start walking. All you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: need is movement. It literally helps to clear up your
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: mental fog and creates a space for you to kind
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of get your mind back in that flow. While your
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: body's moving, your mind is going to follow. And when
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you're stuck or you feel stuck and you're in that space,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: movement will help open the door. Movement is another big
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: helper when it comes to pushing you past the motivation.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We talk about that rah rah thing and motivation. It
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: can be unreliable because it lives for a minute and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: then it goes away. Here's the other thing I want
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to say about movement. All movement matters, Even the small
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: one counts. Small movement counts. It doesn't have to be dramatic,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be forever. I call it. Or
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: what I do when I move is I gift myself time.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So I'll give myself ten minutes, five minutes, twenty minutes,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: depending on the activity. It's an opportunity to give myself
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: back time to start doing something that inspires me and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: something that helps to start the progress that I need.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, just seize the moment,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: seize the opportunity, and go do something. Movement is also
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a great signal to your mind, is a great signal
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to your being because it signals that you're ready. You're
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: ready to try to learn, to do, to engage. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that information is important because it tells your brain that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it matters, and your brain responds, and that's what you want.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You want to have a response where your mind, body
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: spirit are aligned because ultimately you want to move forward.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Movement gets you moving forward before you even have to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: start thinking about it. You don't have to figure it
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: all out. Oftentimes we try to figure it all out
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and put all the pieces together. And the fact is
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you can walk with the jigsaw. You can walk with
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: all the puzzle pieces everywhere. You'll start to figure out
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: once you start moving, when you start putting the board
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: together and your hands start moving the pieces in different areas,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that is what you need. You don't need the emotion
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to lead, you need the motion so that you can
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: move forward. I want you to think about movement like this.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I want you to think about motion like this. Motion
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: is medicine. If you are feeling low, if you're feeling down,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: if you're feeling like you're stuck, motion is your medicine.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I want you to get up, get out, and get moving.
