What's the point of studying because I know I'm not going to pass.
These are some of the limiting beliefs and sayings that we all fall victim to from time to time. Today I give you a reframe that might help!

11 min - Ep: 12 - Your AM Routine Can Start Differently Than It Ends
Every time I hear someone tell me the way I need to start my day...I start to turn off. Number one, this person doesn't know me! They don't have context and do not have the nuances of my life. Secondly even if I start my morning ritual slow and ease into the day doesn't mean I can't end my ritual with an intense, endorphin pushing adrenaline rush!
Take a listen today this Quick Tip Tuesday and see how you can truly work a morning routine to fit your style and situation!

9 min - Ep: 9 - How To Begin Your Keystone Ritual
The keystone ritual is basically the 80/20 of your weekly ritual design. If you never heard of the 80/20 rule (the pareto principle), it basically states that only 20% of the things or actions we take produce about 80% of the results. To really nail your weekly rituals on a day to day level, your keystone ritual is crucial. This is a once a week routine that sets your week up for success and makes each day that much easier.

17 min - Ep: 6 - Get The Hardest Things Done First
Did you ever find yourself procrastinating...and you knew it?! Our brains are amazing. Even when we intellectually know something we'll do anything to "save energy".
One of the best habits I've started building was to get the hardest things done as early as I could in the day. This builds incredible amounts of momentum for me knowing that everything else is cake.
Take a listen to todays episode if you feel like your schedule can't allow this to happen.
