Speaker 1: What up, y'all. Welcome to the Cheeky's and Chill Podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm your host Cheeky's and today I'm once again pulling
Speaker 1: back the curtain and letting you guys into my life.
Speaker 1: So without further ado, this is Cheeky's in Chill. If
Speaker 1: you follow me on Instagram, you probably have seen my
Speaker 1: God Morning posts like a million times. It's like my
Speaker 1: favorite thing to do. I feel like it's my way
Speaker 1: of spreading God's love and his goodness, and it's also
Speaker 1: a note to myself, so it's like my favorite way
Speaker 1: to start. But here's the thing. As soon as I
Speaker 1: wake up, it's not like the first thing I do.
Speaker 1: I try not to touch my phone, and if I
Speaker 1: touch it, it's just to put meditation music on and
Speaker 1: I go into my restroom and that's where I do
Speaker 1: my prayer and meditation until after I do all of
Speaker 1: that is when I do my God Morning. Anyways, I
Speaker 1: usually like to open up the balcony because for the
Speaker 1: most part, Poncho, my dog's leaps on the balcony, So
Speaker 1: I just like to get like a whiff of like
Speaker 1: fresh air in the morning, and I let them in
Speaker 1: and I just like, thank you, God, because I feel
Speaker 1: like the first hour when you wake up is the
Speaker 1: most important. So for me, it's like feeling that, you know,
Speaker 1: that breeze of air and putting on my meditation music
Speaker 1: and going into the restroom. Usually what I like to
Speaker 1: do to kind of wake myself up is brush my teeth.
Speaker 1: Even though I did it at night, you guys, still
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that I hear I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: like they brush their teeth at night and don't feel
Speaker 1: that they need to do it in the morning. No,
Speaker 1: you guys, I think it's important to brush your teeth
Speaker 1: in the morning and at night. So anyways, I brush
Speaker 1: my teeth. That helps me wake up. And then I
Speaker 1: washed my face with cold, cold water because sometimes, and
Speaker 1: I used to do this a lot before, I felt like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I need coffee to wake me up,
Speaker 1: Like in reality, all we need is sometimes I just
Speaker 1: cold water and brushing your teeth helps you just wake up.
Speaker 1: And after I do that, I have my meditation music
Speaker 1: on already. I turn on an inceent or some sage
Speaker 1: or some Battosanto, and I just kind of set the tone.
Speaker 1: It just smells really nice. I love the smell of it.
Speaker 1: And I just cleanse my area my space, I grab
Speaker 1: my devotional, I read it. I have those devotionals. I
Speaker 1: have so many different ones that I use throughout the year.
Speaker 1: But I like to just read a little passage. Something's
Speaker 1: just short and sweet and to the point. If it's
Speaker 1: not that, it's like some type of cards, you know.
Speaker 1: I have some from Wordiful. I have some. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys have ever read the book Untethered Soul,
Speaker 1: but he has some also, some like a deck of cards.
Speaker 1: So I like to pull something and every day is
Speaker 1: a little different, but it's just something to kind of
Speaker 1: set the tone of the day. I also have affirmations
Speaker 1: on my mirror, so I like to just whatever it
Speaker 1: is that I need to work on that week or
Speaker 1: that day, I have a different affirmation and it's important
Speaker 1: for me and to me to start my day on
Speaker 1: the right foot. And before looking at Instagram, before going
Speaker 1: on Twitter, before checking my emails, it's kind of like,
Speaker 1: let me set the tone of my day with centering myself, connecting,
Speaker 1: thanking God, having an attitude of gratitude, you guys, even
Speaker 1: before asking like God help me with this, it's more
Speaker 1: of like thank you God that I'm alive. Thank you
Speaker 1: that I woke up this morning. Thank you that my
Speaker 1: siblings are good. Thank You that my boyfriend's good. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Like you know, it's just thanking God. Think in the
Speaker 1: universe takes you so much further than you can imagine
Speaker 1: than even just I need this, I want this, and
Speaker 1: it's like, no, it's about really just being grateful. So
Speaker 1: for me, that's super important. In the morning. After I
Speaker 1: do that, I then do my God Morning. Did you
Speaker 1: guys hopefully read? And my God mornings are always different.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it is one of the cards that I pull,
Speaker 1: or sometimes it's just something that comes from my heart
Speaker 1: or a quote that I find that I love, or
Speaker 1: I share other pages. You know, it's just something that
Speaker 1: resonates with me that will hopefully help you guys. I
Speaker 1: just feel like that's part of my mission on earth
Speaker 1: is to help you know in that way and spread love.
Speaker 1: And that's what I try to do every single day
Speaker 1: with my God Morning. So whoever reads it, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. And usually I'll go to the gym. So
Speaker 1: here's what I do now that I've been this year
Speaker 1: that I started like my trainer again. I'll wake up
Speaker 1: at five in the morning because I have to see
Speaker 1: her at six thirty, So five, I take my thyroid
Speaker 1: pill and I drink nothing but water. That's all I
Speaker 1: do for the first hour that I'm up, while I'm
Speaker 1: doing my meditating, brushing my teeth, all this stuff that
Speaker 1: I just explained, and then I try to leave the
Speaker 1: house by six. That's when I have my green tea.
Speaker 1: I have my green tea with my collagen and my honey,
Speaker 1: because honey is a natural way of also giving you
Speaker 1: that boost that you need. A lot of people stay
Speaker 1: away from it because it has a lot of sugar
Speaker 1: and yes, but if you're doing it in the morning
Speaker 1: and you're using it kind of like a pre workout,
Speaker 1: it works out wonderfully. So I feel like green tea
Speaker 1: has so many different benefits. I love green tea, you guys.
Speaker 1: And then obviously collagen. You guys know I'm always pushing
Speaker 1: it because I drink it every single day, And you
Speaker 1: guys know collagen is great for the hair, for the nails,
Speaker 1: for the skin, for the bone owns. So that's my
Speaker 1: little thing. And I have a little snack on my
Speaker 1: way to the gym. I work out three times out
Speaker 1: of the week. I try with my trainer, so from
Speaker 1: six thirty to seven thirty, sometimes seven thirty to eight thirty,
Speaker 1: it all depends, and then I do cardio on my own.
Speaker 1: So at the gym with my trainer, what I do
Speaker 1: is we start with leg Day, So usually on Tuesdays,
Speaker 1: I see her Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and when I can't,
Speaker 1: you know, because my schedule is a little crazy, we
Speaker 1: still try to do leg day. So we focus on
Speaker 1: leg day on Tuesday. On Thursdays, we do upper body
Speaker 1: and it's a little bit of everything like biceps, triceps,
Speaker 1: so you know, a little bit of back, all upper
Speaker 1: body for a whole hour. And then the third day
Speaker 1: that I work out with her, which is usually on Saturdays,
Speaker 1: we do a full body workout. That's like my least
Speaker 1: favorite day, you guys, my goodness, because she has me
Speaker 1: jumping and all this stuff. So we do everything all
Speaker 1: in one legs, upper body and cardio, and then when
Speaker 1: I don't see her, I do cardio. I try to
Speaker 1: do at least thirty minutes to forty five minutes of cardio.
Speaker 1: I try not to do more than forty five minutes
Speaker 1: because I feel like when I've done, because I go
Speaker 1: hard on cardio out on mys s around like I
Speaker 1: do intervals. I like starting off at a slow pace
Speaker 1: two minutes and then I do intervals. I go really
Speaker 1: hard and then I chill because it's really good for
Speaker 1: your heart rate, so I go hard, and I've found
Speaker 1: that anytime that I go over forty five minutes, I
Speaker 1: feel more tired throughout the day. So seriously, a lot
Speaker 1: of people I know don't like cardio, but it's so
Speaker 1: good for you for so many reasons. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like when I don't do cardio, I can't think, So
Speaker 1: even when I'm short on time, I'll just do twenty
Speaker 1: minutes at least twenty minutes as long as you're sweating,
Speaker 1: you guys, a little bit like start little by little.
Speaker 1: It's it's helped me so much mentally. When I don't
Speaker 1: work out, I don't feel as sharp, you know. So anyways,
Speaker 1: I try to do cardio by myself two to three
Speaker 1: times a week, so I'm always like checking off. And
Speaker 1: I think I've shown you guys on social media where
Speaker 1: I do. I'm like, okay, one out of five days
Speaker 1: because that's what I try to do, or two out
Speaker 1: of five days to keep myself accountable as well, because
Speaker 1: I try to do at least five times a week.
Speaker 1: And again, I'm always talking about rest, you guys. Rest
Speaker 1: is important. Part of my routine is also like my vitamins.
Speaker 1: So as soon as I wake up, I take my
Speaker 1: thyroidor medicine, like I said, and I just drink nothing
Speaker 1: but water. But I prepare my vitamins. I do chewabules,
Speaker 1: you guys. I just find it better and more tasty,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I just enjoy it more. So
Speaker 1: I do chewabuls. I do a calcium chewable type of
Speaker 1: little thing that I don't know the name of it
Speaker 1: right now, but I do calcium. I do my vitamin C,
Speaker 1: especially with like you know, all covid and stuff. It's
Speaker 1: very important for us to keep our vitamin C high.
Speaker 1: And then I do a B twelve and a B
Speaker 1: six it's all in one. And I do some Arnica pills,
Speaker 1: you guys, which helps with my muscles because now that
Speaker 1: I'm working out, it helps with like pain and muscle
Speaker 1: soreness and stiffness. So I do and then I know
Speaker 1: I'm ah biotin. Biotin is so important, you guys. My
Speaker 1: hair has been flourishing since I've been taking these vitamins
Speaker 1: for the past year, like consistently, like it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what time it is, you guys, or if I forget.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll leave them in my pocket because I'll take
Speaker 1: them right before going into the gym, and then throughout
Speaker 1: the day I'm like, oh my gosh, my vitamins. I
Speaker 1: gotta take them. So I like to do it on
Speaker 1: an empty stomach. I feel like your body absorbs it
Speaker 1: better when you do vitamins on an empty stomach. But
Speaker 1: some are different, so make sure you read that. Some
Speaker 1: do require you to eat and then take them. But
Speaker 1: my vitamins are chewable, and I made sure that you
Speaker 1: didn't have to take them with food or after eating.
Speaker 1: So anyways, just wanted to put that out there because
Speaker 1: I'm super religious with my vitamins, with my supplements. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I forgot. In the morning, I take a
Speaker 1: memory pill, you guys, for focus and memory and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. And at night, my doctor had told me
Speaker 1: to take a vitamin B twelve again, so I do,
Speaker 1: and that helps me with like having a good RESTful
Speaker 1: night and then waking up with energy. So that's what
Speaker 1: I take. Sometimes take magnesium, like if I feel a
Speaker 1: little bit ka ballah, you know, to go to the
Speaker 1: restroom the next day. And one thing I want to
Speaker 1: start implementing again in my routine are green juices. I
Speaker 1: used to do green juices all the time, like celery juice.
Speaker 1: I feel like that is so important to like for
Speaker 1: that to be one of your first meals or your
Speaker 1: first meal is to have a green juice, a fresh
Speaker 1: green juice. I feel like it helps coat your tummy,
Speaker 1: it helps with your digestive system. So I want to
Speaker 1: start doing that again. I've told you guys this before.
Speaker 1: Everything is in like routine. Like having a routine and
Speaker 1: doing things over and over. Being consistent helps you just
Speaker 1: in life just to be successful. To have that discipline,
Speaker 1: and it is a little hard to get used to,
Speaker 1: but it is so important, you guys. So I basically
Speaker 1: do the morning thing every single day, and when I don't,
Speaker 1: I feel so off. I feel like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I didn't do it today. And there are days where
Speaker 1: I'm just like I just want to lay in bed,
Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna wake up and I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: lay in bed, and I thank God for my bed.
Speaker 1: I'm like, thank you God so much for this day.
Speaker 1: I'm always saying, thanking God. It's so important to me.
Speaker 1: But usually ninety five percent of the time, you guys,
Speaker 1: I do what I just told you. Guys. I've learned
Speaker 1: to be disciplined and to also get my team on
Speaker 1: that same page where it's like, you have to respect
Speaker 1: my time, and my time is try to wake up
Speaker 1: at five six around there, and I'm not available to
Speaker 1: get on some serious calls until like maybe nine thirty
Speaker 1: because I have to respect myself and respect the things
Speaker 1: that make me a better person. And these are the
Speaker 1: things that really do help me and help me feel
Speaker 1: better every single day. So working out and all that
Speaker 1: good stuff. Okay, you guys. Anyways, I'll stop talking. I
Speaker 1: love you guys. Thank you for listening to Cheekys and Chill.
