HelloHealth Today

Action Steps:

1. Make a list of your current commitments and the new opportunities you are considering.
2. Download “The Commitment Filter Resource” and use it to work through your filtering process.
3. Remember to ask yourself, “Do I know specifically WHY I want to make this commitment? And are there at least three good reasons?” before making your final decision.

If you’re searching for us on a podcasting app, please remember to smoosh the words “Hello” and “Health” together—leave out the space.

Show your support by signing up to receive our newsletter by visiting our website and clicking on “Subscribe to Our List.” If you’re on your cell, scroll all the way down the page.

If you haven’t already, leave a review. Tell us how listening in has changed you in some way. The review doesn’t have to be long, maybe even just one word. How about, “Transformative”? Or, if you have time for two words, “Listen now!”

Action Steps:

1. Copy and place the following in a place you will see it every day. Say it to yourself every morning: “I am strong. I am confident. I am powerful. I am abundant. I am brave. I am grateful. I am enough.”
2. Make a list of your accomplishments every quarter. Reflect on your successes and learn to value yourself and your contributions.
3. Practice meditation. Find your time of day and reflect on what you’re grateful for, what you’re intentionally letting go of that day, and what you’re intentionally letting in. Practice giving yourself grace.
4. Find your mantra. For Ms. Kirkland, it is “I am my ancestors’ wildest dreams.” It reminds her that her ancestors survived the Middle Passage and long journeys to freedom. If they can do that, she can face and overcome whatever she is facing.
5. Sign up for the HelloHealth newsletter by visiting our website.

Action Steps:

1. Keep the main thing the main thing. In other words, determine what feeds your soul (e.g., family, friends, prayer) and keep that central in all you do.
2. Check in with yourself quarterly. Schedule time every three months to ensure the things you are doing line up with your purpose for that season of your life. Put your first self-check on your calendar today.
3. Value your relationships. Invest in the ones that matter because they are the ones that will provide you with your “mirror moments.” 
4. Create spaces to celebrate others. Even a small space to acknowledge another’s commitment to positive change will help you learn to find the ways we all connect to each other.
