Here are 3 things you can do today to improve your life right now (listen for the other 7 ;-)
1. Focus on the here and now - As humans we spend a great deal of time replaying past situations or worrying about the future. Focusing on right now plays such a key role in improving our lives. When you focus on right now you spend brain energy on experiencing life in the moment which is 100% more enjoyable than wasting energy on past events or worrying about future events that haven’t taken place and might not ever happen.
2. Be grateful, and pass it on - If you are not practicing gratitude on a daily basis you are missing out. I know, you might say I don’t have anything to be grateful for today. And, I say go deeper. Do you have your health? Do you have food on the table? What about a roof over your head? Sometimes reframing what we have in our lives – rather than what we don’t have – we find we are grateful for more than we realized.
3. Go to bed earlier tonight - I can hear it now...but I’m a night owl. I hear you AND I used to be the same way. Getting at least 7.5 hours of sleep goes a long way to improving your life. When you have a consistent bedtime, over time you will start to see that you will rise before your alarm. The key here is consistency -- be consistent and try hitting the sack a little earlier.

Our brains LOVE to focus on the negative. The mistakes we make. The miscues we have. And in reality, this is what our brain is supposed to do — protect us so we learn from our errors. But learning from our errors doesn’t mean we stay focused on the mistakes we make.
When you focus on what you did well, or what worked first — before focusing on the mistakes and miscues — you are training your brain to leverage the positives in every single situation. Even the ones where you think you did something wrong, made a mistake, or where you weren’t happy with the result. By going to what worked first, your brain will learn how best to intuit positive thinking in the future.
Positive thinking leads to positive feelings which lead to positive results in your life. Makes sense, right?

We hear it all the time: "Just take a leap of faith," The trouble with taking a leap of faith is that you need to place your trust in someone or something else. And our brains really do not like it when we have to trust someone or something else.
A belief, on the other hand, is something we just accept. And when we generate those beliefs ourselves our brains accept it as fact. So how do you take a leap of belief?
In this episode, I dive into what it means to do the work of believing in yourself, how you can generate new thinking and wipe out past beliefs about yourself.

I should, I shouldn't, I should. Wow, how many times have you said to yourself that you should be doing something or your shouldn't be doing something? It's an endless battle and one that needs to stop so you can take control of what matters most in your life -- YOU!
In this episode, I challenge you to change your mindset from “should” to “will” in an effort to help you turn your losses into wins.
