Things That Will Change Your Life

 

Things That Will Change Your Life

•    Invest in a skill that brings you income – or side income.  Always bet on yourself.
•    Get dressed as soon as you wake up and watch how you’ll feel ready to take on the day.
•    Get morning sunlight instead of a morning scroll. Step outside for 10 minutes or use 10,000 lux light if you wake before sunrise (or live in a sun-deficient region)
•    Eat protein and fat before any carbs to balance blood sugar. Avoid naked carbs.
•    Swap “I have to” with “I get to”. Gratitude shifts your entire energy.
•    Start meal planning to avoid an overwhelming “what shall I make for dinner” loop that helps you to actually stick to healthy eating.
•    Front load your water intake in the mooring before your day gets busy.
•    Go to bed at the same time for 14 nights straight and watch your energy levels reset.
•    If you struggle with insomnia, drink tart cherry juice 2 hours before bed. Do this every day to build a solid sleep routine.
•    Contrast breathing 2x/week to reset your nervous system.
•    Do the “hard” thing before mid-day.
•    Launch the thing you’ve been sitting on. Done is ALWAYS better than perfect. (or “to-do”)
•    Track your screen time. Measure it to manage it.
•    Do one thing a week that intimidates you to expand your comfort zone.
•    Spend 20-30 minutes every day learning something you’ve been avoiding.
•    Unfollow people who make you compare yourself.
•    Set a recurring “CEO Session” every Sunday to steer your week with intention.
•    Build a 3-step system to calm yourself when triggered.
•    Stop chasing closure. Give it a rest and gift yourself peace.
•    Ask “What is this emotion really telling me?” Self-awareness is free therapy.
•    Try 7 days alcohol free and rate your clarity.
•    Make decisions faster. Overthinking drains more energy than failure with action ever will.
•    Move daily – even 15 minutes counts.
•    Create more than you consume. For every hour of mindless scrolling, do 2 hours of deep work (whatever that means to you)
