WEBVTT - My Tips for Having a Better Day

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>What of guys, Happy Monday. I hope you all are

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>having a great day and a beautiful, amazing, productive week.

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.799
<v Speaker 1>But if not, this episode might be just what you

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>need because I'm going to be giving you guys tips

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>on how to have a better day. We all have

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>bad days, even me, but we can always turn those

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 1>days around. It's our choice. So I put together a

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>short list of things we can all do to have

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>a better day. Are you ready? Here we go? Okay,

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not saying I'm an expert. The reason I

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>put these things together is because, like you guys, I

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>have had a lot of bad days in my life,

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Moments when I'm like I can anymore. I'm just I'm

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>tired mentally, physically, I've had a lot of heartbreak. I've

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>shared a lot of these things with you guys. This

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>is also a way to remind myself what to do

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and to stay on track, because I've noticed that when

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't do these things, I don't feel good, I

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>don't sleep well, I'm irritable, and certain things that wouldn't

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>throw me off the edge throw me off the edge.

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 1>So this is why I've always said that it's super

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>important to have a routine, especially in the morning, having

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>at least an hour to yourself. I know that sounds crazy,

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 1>but if that means you need to wake up earlier,

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to start your day earlier, to give yourself some time,

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:36.839
<v Speaker 1>I completely one hundred one thousand percent suggest that because

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>it changes your life. You guys, I'm sure you guys

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>have heard about the five am club. I know for

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>some people are like, oh five am, that's crazy. I know,

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>but I've noticed how it changes my life. So first

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>of all, get a good night's rest. If you need

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to drink some magnesium to help you rest better, I personally,

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a doctor, but I take four hundred milligrams

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>of magnesium a night, sometimes eight hundred, so two pills.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>That helps me just relax. I've told you before too

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that I smoke cannabis. I'm not telling you to do it.

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>All I'm saying is what I do and what has

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>helped me just to have a good night's rest where

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't wake up. I'm not tossing and turning. So

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>magnesium is amazing, Cannabis is well. You gotta be old

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>enough to have cannabis, and I'm not promoting to do it.

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying what helps me again, because I can't

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>stress enough because then people are like, oh, Chiky said this, No,

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I did not say that anyways, Magnesium, just go with magnesium.

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Waking up early is a big one because yes, we

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>all have the same amount of time in our day,

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.679
<v Speaker 1>but it's what we do with those hours that mean

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>how the rest of the day, the week, the month,

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.959
<v Speaker 1>the year will go. I'm not saying you have to

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>wake up at five am every day, but I try

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>to wake up that early at least Monday through Friday,

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>sometimes Monday through Thursday. If I need to sleep in,

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I will let myself sleep in. You have to listen

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>to your body, and if I don't like working out

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that day, I won't. But when I wake up at five,

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I put my alarm on, I take my little pill,

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>my little thyroid pill, and I drink nothing but water

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the first hour of my morning while I'm doing my meditation.

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Always starting your day and I've said this so many times, guys,

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>but starting your day with either prayer, meditation, breath work,

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>something that's going to connect you with your body with

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.360
<v Speaker 1>the present moment is super important. Read A devotional could

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>be short. It doesn't even have to be a crazy

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>ass amount of time. I just give myself an hour

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>because I wash my face, I brush my teeth. I

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>like to take my time. I meditate sometimes five minutes,

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes, twenty minutes. It all just depends. I read

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 1>a devotional I read positive thinking card, something that just

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>is filling my day in my mind the first thing

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I do with something positive and energetically pleasing. So anyways, so,

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>like I said, just wake up early. If you have

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to be at work at nine, wake up at six

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>instead of seven. You know what I mean, Like, wake

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>up early and give yourself that gift of I'm going

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>to take this time for myself to align myself with

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the universe, to get myself connected with God, with my faith.

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Whatever it is that makes you feel better in that aspect.

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to be what I do. Whatever connection

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.679
<v Speaker 1>means to you, Okay, and this is super important, you guys.

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Look it up. I'm really, really, really really really trying

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 1>not to drink any beverages that are too cold because

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>it's bad for your tummy. Like there's a I don't

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>know the exact reasons, but I know that it's not

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>that great for your digestic system and it causes a

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of diseases, especially if the first thing you do

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>in the morning is drink something cold. That's why I'm

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>telling you drink room temperature water. They say eight ounces

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>of water is the best thing to do as soon

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>as you wake up, to get your digestive system going,

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 1>to get your your metabolism going, all that good stuff

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 1>to wake up your body. Basically, then I suggest you

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>drink something warm to kind of just settle your tummy.

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I always drink a green tea in the morning with

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>my collagen and my honey. I'm very consistent. That's what

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. A routine, making a routine. Following this routine

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>as much as you can, you're gonna fall off. I

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>fall off all the time. Well not all the time,

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>but I do fall off. But it's important to get

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>your back yourself back there because you're gonna see once

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you start doing this and you start making this habit,

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna feel so good. You can stretch. When I

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>was talking about the spiritual thing, it doesn't have to

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>be prayer, doesn't have to be meditation. It could just

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>be simple like stretching in the morning, like anything to

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>just get your spirit connected. With your body. Okay, drink

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>something warm. I just told you what I drink, and

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>while you're drinking your warm beverage, because I feel like

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 1>drinking something warm. I feel like something warm always just

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>makes your soul feel better. So what I like to

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>do while I'm driving to the gym, while I'm drinking

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>my hot tea, I like to practice gratitude important, you, guys,

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>super super important to Yes, you're praying, you're thanking God

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>for your day, right, that's in the morning, right right.

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>And then the next thing you do is you can

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 1>find at least three things to be grateful for. At

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>least three things. If you don't want a journal, don't journal.

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.239
<v Speaker 1>I used to journal a lot more I don't journal

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>as much as i'd like to. So now while I'm

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>driving to the gym, I practice gratitude. I'm like, God,

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>thank you, thank you for this amazing tea. It feels

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>so nice in my tummy. Thank you God that I

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>have this car that can take me to the gym.

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Thank you God I paid my rent. Whatever it may be,

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you can find joy in like the smallest thing that

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we overlook, but it makes a huge difference when

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>we say the words thank you, and we're grateful for

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>running water. You guys, Like the smallest little things really

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>connect us with the world. Sometimes I swear I wake

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 1>up and I'm like, God, thank you, thank you that

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I woke up this morning six thirty. I'm on my

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>way to the gym. Thank you that I'm able to

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>see the sky, to see the sunrise. Like, having an

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 1>attitude of gratitude takes you a very long way. Now

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about the gym. Sweat. It is important to sweat. Yes,

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>we want to look good. And people are like, I'm

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna go to the gym in the beginning of the year,

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>like I want to look good. That's the thing when

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>we're like, I'm gonna get on a diet, I'm going

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to work out because I want to. Like, you have

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>to make it a part of your lifestyle where you're like, okay,

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>even if it's fifteen minutes in the morning where I'm

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.679
<v Speaker 1>just walking and they break a little sweat, take a walk,

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>take a stroll around the neighborhood, take the dogs out

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>for a walk. That's moving your body. If we don't

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>move our body, you guys, they say, And I think

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I've shared this as well. I share so many things

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>with you guys. But we don't get old and stop moving.

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>We get old because we stop moving. Does that make sense?

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Like our body start aging because we are not moving,

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 1>we're not stretching, we're not building muscle, sweating removing toxins,

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>releasing toxins from our bodies, like sweating is so essential.

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>It also helps with stress levels, with keeping your qurtsol

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>down or lower. Like we're all stressed. We all go through,

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 1>even stress that we don't even feel that our bodies feel.

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So if we're doing and giving back to our body,

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>our body's going to give back to us. So these

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>are the things that I have done for a few

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>years that have really just set my morning. And you

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>might think, like shit, how do I do this all

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>in one day? You can. It's just waking up earlier,

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>getting a good night's rest, connecting with your spirituality, like

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>it is so important. Like I had to make it

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a point where I'm like I cannot start anything, no

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>work before ten o'clock. I understand a lot of people

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>start work at nine. I'm telling you wake up at

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>five and just go to the gym or even in

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the shower. You could do squats it could get up

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 1>with it. Where there's a will, there's a way. So

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to hear like, oh I don't have time.

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>We have to make time. That's the thing. Sometimes I

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>catch myself, I'm like, oh I didn't have time. No, no, no,

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.679
<v Speaker 1>I didn't make time. I didn't make time to call

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>this person. And sometimes energetically, like mentally, I just can't.

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And I'll be honest about it and be like, you

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>know what, I just I can't. I'm not okay right now,

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I've gotten comfortable with who I am that now

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I can vocalize it. But guys, it's all in us

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 1>making the time and making ourselves a priority. If we

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.319
<v Speaker 1>want every other area in our life to be successful,

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>then we need to make the time for ourselves. If

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 1>we are not okay mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, then how

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 1>are we going to give our best self? Also, sweating,

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.680
<v Speaker 1>working out, moving your body helps with depression, helps with anxiety,

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>doing breath work as well, meditating. All of these things

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>things to have a good day. And the more you

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>practice it, the better it gets, the easier it gets.

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>So you have to be patient, be patient with yourself,

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>give yourself grace. It's going to take some time. I

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>want to say, maybe the first two weeks might be

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the hardest of waking up earlier than you usually do.

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be a little hard, but then your

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>body's gonna get used to it, and you're going to

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>feel better, and you're going to miss it. You're going

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:22.839
<v Speaker 1>to be like, I need to go to sleep early

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>because I want to wake up early because I want

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 1>to have a great day. I want to have a

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>good week, I want to have a good month. Successful

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 1>people in life financially, materialistically, but more than anything, I'm

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about spiritually wake up early and do these things

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>and have a routine. Trust ask any successful person if

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you want to be successful. If that's what you're looking for, great,

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>But I'm talking about spiritual, feeling good, being the best

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>version of yourself, giving your best self to others. That's

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.959
<v Speaker 1>what I'm talking about. Then all that other stuff comes

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 1>comes with time, comes with practice, comes with discipline, comes

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>with consistency. This is all what I'm talking about. Being disciplined,

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>loving yourself enough to do this for yourself. Then the

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>success comes because you're disciplined. So self discipline equals self love,

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>self care, self love, loving yourself enough to make these

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 1>changes and create these habits for yourself. Now, when you're vacationing,

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm usually like working and traveling a lot. I do

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. Sometimes I don't have to wake up

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>as early. But the first thing I do is I

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>won't look at my phone. I won't. I'll do my best.

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>And I kid you not every time I look at

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.560
<v Speaker 1>my phone or at Instagram or my emails, or start

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>responding to text messages before I thank God, before I

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.959
<v Speaker 1>connect myself spiritually, I have a weird day. I don't

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>know if it's just me mentally, I don't know. But

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 1>when I put on my meditation music in the morning,

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>could be anywhere, and I pray and I meditate even

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 1>five minutes, it changes the entire day for me. So

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>when I'm vacationing, I do everything. I take my teas

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>with me. I am that girl. I pack a lot

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>because I love taking my collagen and my own honey

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and the whole thing. And all I have to do

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 1>is sometimes order warm water or boiled water, and I

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing. I always find a hotel that

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>has a good gym, and if there's no gym, then

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I go up and down the stairs. I find a

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:30.319
<v Speaker 1>way to make myself sweat to keep on my routine.

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>So those are the things. Okay, So having a good

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>night's rest, waking up early, meditating, connecting, doing breadth work,

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.599
<v Speaker 1>whatever that means to you. Sweating is important, practicing gratitude,

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and also setting realistic goals, you guys, short term goals

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that has helped me tremendously, whether it be to lose weight,

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>whether it be to start a business, whatever it may be.

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I set short term goals and then I have long

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>term goals. But in order to get to that long

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>term goal, I have to take steps, baby steps and

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>understand that it's better to walk than to run. I

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>have told you guys this as well, that I'm very

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>happy with how my career has gone steady, slowly. I'm

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>good with that. I like that pace. I prefer that pace.

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Anything too quick, anything that happens too quick, I feel

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 1>like it doesn't last as long. So just be patient

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and set realistic short term goals that will really help

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you stay connected, stay grounded, and it helps you have

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 1>something to work towards. But all of these things, especially

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.679
<v Speaker 1>also listening to meditation music, listening to calm music in

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>the morning to set your day to set like the tone.

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>And then when I'm on my way to the gym,

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you better know, I'm like playing hip hop and I'm

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>rapping and I'm like, all right, I'm ready to go

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>pump some iron, you know. But it all has its time.

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I love music. Music is a huge part of my life.

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm cleaning, I have a certain playlist, I'm meditating, I

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.559
<v Speaker 1>have a playlist, I'm working out, like I have playlists

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.839
<v Speaker 1>for every part of my life. Maybe we should do

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>an episode on that. Actually, because music is important. It's important,

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a part of my life. I think we can

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 1>all agree. So I wanted to share that because a

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of people have asked me, like, Chiky's why and

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>how are you so positive? I choose it. I choose

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to be positive. I choose to have a good day.

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I know what to do that's going to make me

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 1>feel good. I've done it wrong for so long, and

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I would get off track and then I was like, damn,

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>what I've always been seeking And that's the word seeking.

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>What is going to make me feel better? And it's

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>all about being disciplined and being consistent in all of

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>your routines, your skincare, your night routine, your morning routine.

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Like having that has changed my life. And again I

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>told you I've done it wrong. I've messed up. And

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 1>this is why I can tell you now what works

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>for me, and maybe you have to try in order

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to see it what it works for you. But having

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>some type of routine is important, so important. I just

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I can't stress enough. And you'll, like I said, talk

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to people that have a routine that are successful, and

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>they're going to tell you I have a routine in

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the morning. This is what I do. I wake up early.

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah blah. Believe me, it works. I hope

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>that this episode has helped you, and I hope you

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>feel inspired to create a routine for you, even if

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 1>it's one or two things that I've mentioned. I think

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 1>adding these things little by little will definitely help you

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna want more of it. Another thing, if

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't like tea, I used to do this a lot,

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to start it up again. Warm water with lemon,

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>miaua le lemon. It helps. It's so good for you,

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>vitamin C, digestive system, it's so good. Google it. You'll

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>see warm water with lemon in the morning. The first

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>thing you do really helps you. And also with that

0:15:54.440 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>having a nice healthy breakfast. A nice healthy breakfast. Okay,

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>we have the choice. Everything is making the decision. So

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>make sure that the first thing you eat in the

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>morning is something really good. It could be a green

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:17.479
<v Speaker 1>juice it's very good. Some nice like oat meal, delicious,

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 1>some eggs, some protein like feed. Start looking at your

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>body as a way of or eating should I say,

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>to fuel your body as a way to nourish it,

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and not necessarily thinking like am I going Sometimes a

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of things that aren't good for us aren't our

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>favorite things. I get that, I know. But if you

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>tell yourself Monday through Friday, I'm gonna make healthier choices,

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 1>then you just enjoy it on the weekends and eat

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever the hell you want. If you want pancakes, eat them.

0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not telling you like it's a for everything, like

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you have to also give yourself some room to indulge.

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 1>But if you tell yourself, okay, I'm gonna do my

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 1>best to make sure that two meals out of the

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 1>three a day are going to be great and healthy,

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to drink water instead of soda. You

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>start making those changes, it'll just help you throughout your

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>life and give you a better week and you're going

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.639
<v Speaker 1>to feel mental clarity, just so many things, guys. So

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I just thought it was very important to share this

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.440
<v Speaker 1>because again a lot of people have asked me and

0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>these are things that with time, with experience with also

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>falling on my face and getting myself back up, have

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>helped me. And now I know, and I want to

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:27.199
<v Speaker 1>do this for the rest of my life, and I

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>want to teach this and even when I have a child,

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>I have to lead by example. So this is why

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.399
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to talk about these tips for for a

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:41.119
<v Speaker 1>better day. So I really hope that it helps start

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:45.400
<v Speaker 1>it tomorrow and you'll see little by little, step by step.

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 1>And we need to make time for ourselves. Remember that

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>making time. It's not that we don't have time. We

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>have to make time. Okay, guys, So thank you so much.
