1 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: What of guys, Happy Monday. I hope you all are 2 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: having a great day and a beautiful, amazing, productive week. 3 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: But if not, this episode might be just what you 4 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: need because I'm going to be giving you guys tips 5 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: on how to have a better day. We all have 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: bad days, even me, but we can always turn those 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: days around. It's our choice. So I put together a 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: short list of things we can all do to have 9 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: a better day. Are you ready? Here we go? Okay, 10 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: So I'm not saying I'm an expert. The reason I 11 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: put these things together is because, like you guys, I 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: have had a lot of bad days in my life, 13 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: Moments when I'm like I can anymore. I'm just I'm 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: tired mentally, physically, I've had a lot of heartbreak. I've 15 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: shared a lot of these things with you guys. This 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: is also a way to remind myself what to do 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: and to stay on track, because I've noticed that when 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: I don't do these things, I don't feel good, I 19 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: don't sleep well, I'm irritable, and certain things that wouldn't 20 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: throw me off the edge throw me off the edge. 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: So this is why I've always said that it's super 22 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: important to have a routine, especially in the morning, having 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: at least an hour to yourself. I know that sounds crazy, 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: but if that means you need to wake up earlier, 25 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: to start your day earlier, to give yourself some time, 26 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: I completely one hundred one thousand percent suggest that because 27 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: it changes your life. You guys, I'm sure you guys 28 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: have heard about the five am club. I know for 29 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: some people are like, oh five am, that's crazy. I know, 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: but I've noticed how it changes my life. So first 31 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: of all, get a good night's rest. If you need 32 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: to drink some magnesium to help you rest better, I personally, 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, but I take four hundred milligrams 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: of magnesium a night, sometimes eight hundred, so two pills. 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: That helps me just relax. I've told you before too 36 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: that I smoke cannabis. I'm not telling you to do it. 37 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: All I'm saying is what I do and what has 38 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: helped me just to have a good night's rest where 39 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: I don't wake up. I'm not tossing and turning. So 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: magnesium is amazing, Cannabis is well. You gotta be old 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: enough to have cannabis, and I'm not promoting to do it. 42 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm just saying what helps me again, because I can't 43 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: stress enough because then people are like, oh, Chiky said this, No, 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: I did not say that anyways, Magnesium, just go with magnesium. 45 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: Waking up early is a big one because yes, we 46 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: all have the same amount of time in our day, 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: but it's what we do with those hours that mean 48 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: how the rest of the day, the week, the month, 49 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: the year will go. I'm not saying you have to 50 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: wake up at five am every day, but I try 51 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: to wake up that early at least Monday through Friday, 52 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: sometimes Monday through Thursday. If I need to sleep in, 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: I will let myself sleep in. You have to listen 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: to your body, and if I don't like working out 55 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: that day, I won't. But when I wake up at five, 56 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: I put my alarm on, I take my little pill, 57 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: my little thyroid pill, and I drink nothing but water 58 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: the first hour of my morning while I'm doing my meditation. 59 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: Always starting your day and I've said this so many times, guys, 60 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: but starting your day with either prayer, meditation, breath work, 61 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: something that's going to connect you with your body with 62 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: the present moment is super important. Read A devotional could 63 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: be short. It doesn't even have to be a crazy 64 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: ass amount of time. I just give myself an hour 65 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: because I wash my face, I brush my teeth. I 66 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: like to take my time. I meditate sometimes five minutes, 67 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: ten minutes, twenty minutes. It all just depends. I read 68 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: a devotional I read positive thinking card, something that just 69 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: is filling my day in my mind the first thing 70 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: I do with something positive and energetically pleasing. So anyways, so, 71 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: like I said, just wake up early. If you have 72 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: to be at work at nine, wake up at six 73 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: instead of seven. You know what I mean, Like, wake 74 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: up early and give yourself that gift of I'm going 75 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: to take this time for myself to align myself with 76 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: the universe, to get myself connected with God, with my faith. 77 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: Whatever it is that makes you feel better in that aspect. 78 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be what I do. Whatever connection 79 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 1: means to you, Okay, and this is super important, you guys. 80 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: Look it up. I'm really, really, really really really trying 81 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: not to drink any beverages that are too cold because 82 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: it's bad for your tummy. Like there's a I don't 83 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: know the exact reasons, but I know that it's not 84 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: that great for your digestic system and it causes a 85 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: lot of diseases, especially if the first thing you do 86 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: in the morning is drink something cold. That's why I'm 87 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: telling you drink room temperature water. They say eight ounces 88 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: of water is the best thing to do as soon 89 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: as you wake up, to get your digestive system going, 90 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: to get your your metabolism going, all that good stuff 91 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: to wake up your body. Basically, then I suggest you 92 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: drink something warm to kind of just settle your tummy. 93 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: I always drink a green tea in the morning with 94 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: my collagen and my honey. I'm very consistent. That's what 95 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying. A routine, making a routine. Following this routine 96 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: as much as you can, you're gonna fall off. I 97 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: fall off all the time. Well not all the time, 98 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: but I do fall off. But it's important to get 99 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: your back yourself back there because you're gonna see once 100 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: you start doing this and you start making this habit, 101 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna feel so good. You can stretch. When I 102 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: was talking about the spiritual thing, it doesn't have to 103 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: be prayer, doesn't have to be meditation. It could just 104 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: be simple like stretching in the morning, like anything to 105 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: just get your spirit connected. With your body. Okay, drink 106 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: something warm. I just told you what I drink, and 107 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: while you're drinking your warm beverage, because I feel like 108 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: drinking something warm. I feel like something warm always just 109 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: makes your soul feel better. So what I like to 110 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: do while I'm driving to the gym, while I'm drinking 111 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: my hot tea, I like to practice gratitude important, you, guys, 112 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: super super important to Yes, you're praying, you're thanking God 113 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: for your day, right, that's in the morning, right right. 114 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: And then the next thing you do is you can 115 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: find at least three things to be grateful for. At 116 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: least three things. If you don't want a journal, don't journal. 117 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,239 Speaker 1: I used to journal a lot more I don't journal 118 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: as much as i'd like to. So now while I'm 119 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: driving to the gym, I practice gratitude. I'm like, God, 120 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for this amazing tea. It feels 121 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: so nice in my tummy.

Whatever it may be, 124 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: you can find joy in like the smallest thing that 125 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: sometimes we overlook, but it makes a huge difference when 126 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: we say the words thank you, and we're grateful for 127 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: running water. You guys, Like the smallest little things really 128 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: connect us with the world. Sometimes I swear I wake 129 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: up and I'm like, God, thank you, thank you that 130 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: I woke up this morning six thirty. I'm on my 131 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: way to the gym. Thank you that I'm able to 132 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: see the sky, to see the sunrise. Like, having an 133 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: attitude of gratitude takes you a very long way. Now 134 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: we're talking about the gym. Sweat. It is important to sweat. Yes, 135 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: we want to look good. And people are like, I'm 136 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: gonna go to the gym in the beginning of the year, 137 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: like I want to look good. That's the thing when 138 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: we're like, I'm gonna get on a diet, I'm going 139 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: to work out because I want to. Like, you have 140 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: to make it a part of your lifestyle where you're like, okay, 141 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: even if it's fifteen minutes in the morning where I'm 142 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 1: just walking and they break a little sweat, take a walk, 143 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: take a stroll around the neighborhood, take the dogs out 144 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: for a walk. That's moving your body. If we don't 145 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: move our body, you guys, they say, And I think 146 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: I've shared this as well. I share so many things 147 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: with you guys. But we don't get old and stop moving. 148 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: We get old because we stop moving. Does that make sense? 149 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: Like our body start aging because we are not moving, 150 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: we're not stretching, we're not building muscle, sweating removing toxins, 151 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: releasing toxins from our bodies, like sweating is so essential. 152 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: It also helps with stress levels, with keeping your qurtsol 153 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: down or lower. Like we're all stressed. We all go through, 154 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: even stress that we don't even feel that our bodies feel. 155 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: So if we're doing and giving back to our body, 156 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: our body's going to give back to us. So these 157 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: are the things that I have done for a few 158 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: years that have really just set my morning. And you 159 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: might think, like shit, how do I do this all 160 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: in one day? You can. It's just waking up earlier, 161 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: getting a good night's rest, connecting with your spirituality, like 162 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: it is so important. Like I had to make it 163 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: a point where I'm like I cannot start anything, no 164 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: work before ten o'clock. I understand a lot of people 165 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: start work at nine. I'm telling you wake up at 166 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: five and just go to the gym or even in 167 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: the shower. You could do squats it could get up 168 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: with it. Where there's a will, there's a way. So 169 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear like, oh I don't have time. 170 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: We have to make time. That's the thing. Sometimes I 171 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: catch myself, I'm like, oh I didn't have time. No, no, no, 172 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: I didn't make time. I didn't make time to call 173 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: this person. And sometimes energetically, like mentally, I just can't. 174 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: And I'll be honest about it and be like, you 175 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: know what, I just I can't. I'm not okay right now, 176 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: Like I've gotten comfortable with who I am that now 177 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: I can vocalize it. But guys, it's all in us 178 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: making the time and making ourselves a priority. If we 179 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: want every other area in our life to be successful, 180 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: then we need to make the time for ourselves. If 181 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: we are not okay mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, then how 182 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: are we going to give our best self? Also, sweating, 183 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: working out, moving your body helps with depression, helps with anxiety, 184 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: doing breath work as well, meditating. All of these things 185 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: things to have a good day. And the more you 186 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: practice it, the better it gets, the easier it gets. 187 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: So you have to be patient, be patient with yourself, 188 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: give yourself grace. It's going to take some time. I 189 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: want to say, maybe the first two weeks might be 190 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: the hardest of waking up earlier than you usually do. 191 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: It's going to be a little hard, but then your 192 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: body's gonna get used to it, and you're going to 193 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: feel better, and you're going to miss it. You're going 194 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: to be like, I need to go to sleep early 195 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: because I want to wake up early because I want 196 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: to have a great day. I want to have a 197 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: good week, I want to have a good month. Successful 198 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: people in life financially, materialistically, but more than anything, I'm 199 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: talking about spiritually wake up early and do these things 200 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: and have a routine. Trust ask any successful person if 201 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: you want to be successful. If that's what you're looking for, great, 202 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: But I'm talking about spiritual, feeling good, being the best 203 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: version of yourself, giving your best self to others. That's 204 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Then all that other stuff comes 205 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: comes with time, comes with practice, comes with discipline, comes 206 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: with consistency. This is all what I'm talking about. Being disciplined, 207 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: loving yourself enough to do this for yourself. Then the 208 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: success comes because you're disciplined. So self discipline equals self love, 209 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: self care, self love, loving yourself enough to make these 210 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: changes and create these habits for yourself. Now, when you're vacationing, 211 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm usually like working and traveling a lot. I do 212 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: the same thing. Sometimes I don't have to wake up 213 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: as early. But the first thing I do is I 214 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: won't look at my phone. I won't. I'll do my best. 215 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: And I kid you not every time I look at 216 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: my phone or at Instagram or my emails, or start 217 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: responding to text messages before I thank God, before I 218 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: connect myself spiritually, I have a weird day. I don't 219 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: know if it's just me mentally, I don't know. But 220 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: when I put on my meditation music in the morning, 221 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: could be anywhere, and I pray and I meditate even 222 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: five minutes, it changes the entire day for me. So 223 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: when I'm vacationing, I do everything. I take my teas 224 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: with me. I am that girl. I pack a lot 225 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: because I love taking my collagen and my own honey 226 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: and the whole thing. And all I have to do 227 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: is sometimes order warm water or boiled water, and I 228 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: do the same thing. I always find a hotel that 229 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: has a good gym, and if there's no gym, then 230 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: I go up and down the stairs. I find a 231 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: way to make myself sweat to keep on my routine. 232 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: So those are the things. Okay, So having a good 233 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: night's rest, waking up early, meditating, connecting, doing breadth work, 234 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,599 Speaker 1: whatever that means to you. Sweating is important, practicing gratitude, 235 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: and also setting realistic goals, you guys, short term goals 236 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: that has helped me tremendously, whether it be to lose weight, 237 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: whether it be to start a business, whatever it may be. 238 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: I set short term goals and then I have long 239 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: term goals. But in order to get to that long 240 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: term goal, I have to take steps, baby steps and 241 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: understand that it's better to walk than to run. I 242 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: have told you guys this as well, that I'm very 243 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: happy with how my career has gone steady, slowly. I'm 244 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: good with that. I like that pace. I prefer that pace. 245 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: Anything too quick, anything that happens too quick, I feel 246 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: like it doesn't last as long. So just be patient 247 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: and set realistic short term goals that will really help 248 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: you stay connected, stay grounded, and it helps you have 249 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: something to work towards. But all of these things, especially 250 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: also listening to meditation music, listening to calm music in 251 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: the morning to set your day to set like the tone. 252 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: And then when I'm on my way to the gym, 253 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: you better know, I'm like playing hip hop and I'm 254 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: rapping and I'm like, all right, I'm ready to go 255 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: pump some iron, you know. But it all has its time. 256 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: I love music. Music is a huge part of my life. 257 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm cleaning, I have a certain playlist, I'm meditating, I 258 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: have a playlist, I'm working out, like I have playlists 259 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: for every part of my life. Maybe we should do 260 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: an episode on that. Actually, because music is important. It's important, 261 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: it's a part of my life. I think we can 262 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: all agree. So I wanted to share that because a 263 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: lot of people have asked me, like, Chiky's why and 264 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: how are you so positive? I choose it. I choose 265 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: to be positive. I choose to have a good day. 266 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: I know what to do that's going to make me 267 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: feel good. I've done it wrong for so long, and 268 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: I would get off track and then I was like, damn, 269 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: what I've always been seeking And that's the word seeking. 270 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: What is going to make me feel better? And it's 271 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: all about being disciplined and being consistent in all of 272 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: your routines, your skincare, your night routine, your morning routine. 273 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: Like having that has changed my life. And again I 274 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: told you I've done it wrong. I've messed up. And 275 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: this is why I can tell you now what works 276 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: for me, and maybe you have to try in order 277 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: to see it what it works for you. But having 278 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: some type of routine is important, so important. I just 279 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: I can't stress enough.
