“Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems” (p 27 “Atomic Habits” James Clear).

A lot times we go through life on autopilot. We think the same thoughts, behave in the same manner, and have the same results. When you want to change a result in your life like: make more money, lose 20 pounds and keep it off, buy a house, or find a partner, people often try to change everything at once.

Instead, what we need to do is breakdown our goal, and start improving one habit. If you want to lose weight and keep it off because you are tired of yo-yo dieting, you may want to improve your exercise routine. So you start walking one mile a day, three days a week. After a few weeks of walking, you may feel better because your mood has improved, you are getting more tired from walking at night so you tend to fall asleep faster, which means you are getting more sleep, which means you have more energy the next day, which means you get more things done.  When you get more sleep, you have less cravings. When you have less cravings, you can create a healthier diet. Catch my drift? 

This is known as creating a snowball effect with habits. You can look at the Health Trio: Exercise | Diet | Sleep. When you improve your exercise habits, you will start to improve your sleep habits, then you start to improve your diet habits.  In this episode I go over the Health Trio, as well as the Routine Trio. 

Admiral William H McRaven talks about if you want to change the world, make your bed in the morning. This creates a small win in your brain, and if you do it in the mornings, before checking your phone especially, then your brain is going to crave another small win. And another small win. Remember how I said the more you do something, the more you do something? That’s partly due to Hebb’s law, “What fires together, wires together.” Which basically means you are creating neural pathways when you are doing more of something. 

So what habit are you going to improve?

"Several studies show a correlation between disorganization, clutter, and mental health conditions, including, depression, anxiety, and stress. Messy environments can cause frustration, helplessness, and feeling overwhelmed. Excessive clutter often leads to feelings of shame, hopelessness, and guilt." (PsyhologyToday.com) 

I have spent years, years getting to this point in my life where I’m not overwhelmed with house work. I’ll give you my number one secret. You ready? Own less shit. That’s it. I’m not talking be a bare minimalist, but have a manageable amount of things. Start being intentional with what you buy, what you bring into your home. 

For years I tried a cleaning schedule, I tried buying bins to keep organized, but then I wouldn’t feel motivated to clean or I was in a rush and didn’t put things up where they belonged, and then everyone’s a mess again. It’s like yo-yo cleaning. You start decluttering, you start feeling better about your space your environment, but then something comes up or something happens, and you revert back to your old cleaning tendencies and behavior and what was once clean sand organized is now not. So you took 2 steps forward and 10 steps back. And you think well this particular cleaning schedule or routine just doesn’t work, so you browse Pinterest to find another one. And you give that a try, and the cycle continues. And the frustration and stress slowly build up overtime. And then you become bitter about your home. Not liking anything, not liking your clothes, not wanting to do the dishes again or dust or take the trash. Because you’re tired of the problem not being solved and not improving. 

So I want to go over more of the psychology behind Decluttering and organizing, rather than a How to Declutter tutorial or How to become more organized. If you didn’t have clutter, what would your life look like? How would you feel? What would you think about yourself? About your home? About your belongings? If you became an organized person, how would this impact your life? What would change? How would you feel? 

Ask yourself are these two end results possible? Why or why not? Yes it’s possible for me to have a decluttered space and keep it decluttered, and it’s possible to become organized. Or no, it’s not possible for me to change my decluttering ways and I’ll always be a hot mess.

Hey Cueties!

Let me introduce the new season of the Cue the New You podcast! Super excited about this season. Very grateful to be back and podcasting after a hell of year. In this episode I go over what I will be teaching throughout this podcast - focusing on:

- The Habit Loop by Charles Duhigg
- Identity Shifts with James Clear
- Thought Patterns by Brooke Castillio
- Self-Belief/Trust/Love

I go over how our brains are preprogrammed due to our ancestors having to survive, but how we are letting our primitive brains take over our life, instead of using our prefrontal cortex.

If you are wondering how you can break a bad habit, learn how to shatter self limiting beliefs, learn how to trust and love yourself, create new routines, and achieve any goal in your life, as well as getting some fitness inspo, then you've come to the right place!

XOXO

James Clear is the author of "Atomic Habits" which explains the process of how to change your habits and shift your identity in order for these new habits to stick.

Growing not only in my personal life, but in my business, I've been solely focused on the mindset work of change. I've neglected teaching and looking at the action part of creating new results.

This week's podcast you'll hear me read from "Atomic Habits" second chapter about the Identity-Based Habit and the Outcome-Based Habit process. Combing this habit work with my mindset work is a game-changer.

I also highly recommend following Shelby Sacco on Instagram and TikTok because she teaches all about how to become that "It Girl" and change your habits.

You can grab Norman Vincent Peale's book, "The Power of Positive Thinking" here: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Positive-Thinking-Norman-Vincent/dp/0743234804 

Hope you enjoy this tidbit from "Atomic Habits" and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for my new 6 week course: Putting You Back Into Routine: You will learn step-by-step how to rewire your brain, learn how to love yourself, learn how to achieve goals, and learn how to create lifelong healthy habits in order to become your best self.

If you are in a season of struggle, come as you are to this podcast. Last week's episode I broke down talking about the fear of never living up to my potential and not feeling good enough. 

After that breakdown, I started building myself back up again. It's not always easy climbing out of a negative mindset hole, but it is possible. 

Que the possibility is the tagline for The Mindset Maintenance Community because it is the first step of change. Imagining what is possible for you, for your future self. Who do you want to be? How do you want to live your life? 

Once you open that door of possibility, your belief in yourself and abilities start to grow. And you start watering the seed of your future. You learn mindset tips, tricks, and hacks that will help you maintain your course. Because you are the one who leads your life - not so-and-so, not your parents, not your kids, not your brain - you. 

So drop the excuses, stop wasting time, and start living your best life. 

If you're struggling, it's okay - find help, find support. 

I am here for you as well.

Much love to you!

The 10 Commitment Deaths are what keep you from reaching your goals. You end starting something, then stopping, you don't plan ahead of time, you don't believe in yourself, etc. 

When you want to commit to something, you have to start shifting your mindset and create new thought patterns. Your brain is going to fight back and resist this change because it is trying to protect you. That's okay. Once you are aware of your goal and your thoughts, you can start doing things even when you do feel like it. 

You learn discipline, you believe in yourself, and you start trusting yourself. This is what growth looks like. You may get off the path, but you are capable of finding your way back because you are evaluating what is working and what isn't working. 

Many of us are guilty of doing a number of these commitment deaths. Let's start changing that!

Want to make 2023 the best year yet for you?

Tired of feeling the way you feel?
Tired of trying this workout program or that workout program, to not get results?
Tired of trying to eat healthier to lose weight?
Tired of trying to lose weight with no luck?

This is because you are trying to solve the wrong "problem."
Instead of spending money on another workout program or healthy cook book, you need to spend intentional time thinking about what you want.

What does your future self have? Look like? Feel?
How can you create this in your life starting now?

By turning inwardly.
By turning to the "problem" of what is going on in my mind that I feel like I can't feel better, look better, eat healthier?

You need to first understand your mindset and what habits you have created subconsciously, then, and only then, will you start to see lasting results.

Sure you can not eat for a few days and feel better, but the second you start eating again or overindulging in something because your body is hungry, you'll feel how you felt before.

Learn how to hone in on your feelings and thoughts, and start taking the right actions. This will get you lifelong results.

Here is what I'm offering.

12 weeks of 1 on 1 coaching with me.

We will uncover what is going in your brain, create a customized plan, curated specifically for you and who you want to become.  You will get support and coaching from me each week on our weekly Zoom calls.

Let's start becoming your future self.
