“Tomorrow’s Gonna Suck…”

“Tomorrow’s gonna suck…”

Really, that’s not completely true. However, there are certain things I do in a day that strongly correlate to how to feel when I wake up the next morning.

Make the bed

Meditate

Break a sweat

Eat clean

Drink 75 oz of water

Read/Listen to a Podcast

No phone in bed

Asleep before 10pm

Today, however, I went straight from volleyball practice to spend four hours in the ER with my daughter who had an allergic reaction to peanut butter with grandma earlier.

No working out. Water intake stopped. Change of dinner plans…Chipotle it is! And clearly, it’s past 10pm. At least Tim Ferris was playing in the car on my way from volleyball to the ER, so check that one off the list!

Of course, Charlee is more important than my list of “things” I need to do. I was exactly where I needed to be tonight, with my girl and her dad.

It got me thinking. It’s not what we do once in a while that makes us who we are. It’s the little things we do consistently that shape us. One day off track isn’t going to make or break me.

Consistency is key.

When I am consistently doing the things mentioned above, the benefits go beyond “feeling good” when I wake up in the morning. It’s more than self-care just for my own welfare.

I am a more patient mother.

I am more focused on listening to my husband rather than trying to talk.

I show up to my classes energized and ready to teach.

I am present.

So yes, tomorrow morning I may not feel my best. But tomorrow I get to recommit to the little things I do that make me the wife, mother, teacher, daughter, and friend that I strive to be.

Because I never want to look back and realize that I could have done better if only I made the bed every day.

“Choosing Happiness…”

-
  Shared by Kristina Smedley “Choosing Happiness…” Early in my career, I had dreams of one day working in a prestigious high rise building, in the middle of a bustling city. Of wearing fancy clothes to work every day. Of having an authority position, making good money, and being seen as a success. I would go out to small local restaurants for lunch and attend networking events and professional happy hours after work. This was my idea of a fulfilling career… of one where I would be happy every day. Now, 14 years after graduating from college, I’m not leaving this career. Not at all! And I have to admit… I’m so thankful. So far, I’ve done some pretty cool things in my career… traveled to many different countries to meet with customers, mentored, and coached others, setup organizational operating models, and (the best part) had the opportunity to build cultures and environments where our teammates thrive!  I’ve learned over time that the fame and glory, the fancy office buildings...

"Just GET STARTED..."

  Shared by Kristina Smedley When  Breanne Smedley  and I first stepped out on this Mindfluent® Leadership journey (2 years ago!), I was envisioning that we would create a philosophy, become certified coaches, and go out and find 1:1 coaching clients.   We would (hopefully) positively impact their lives and that impact would create positive ripples through their families, teams, and communities.   I wasn’t really sure how to do any of that, but it’s the model we had been exposed to. So, it’s the model we started building from.   Leadership Philosophy ✅ Professional Coaching Training ✅ Practice 1:1 Coaching ✅ Then came the part of getting 1:1 clients.   And we quickly realized that we didn’t want to spend hours upon hours going to networking events, reaching out to our network for coffee dates, asking for referrals, and more to secure one single client. Then, spending hours with just one client.   I’m not looking down on this model, ...

“Yelp reviews…”

Shared by Breanne Smedley Whenever I’m in a new city, or even when Brett and I have a date night that requires one of us to decide on a restaurant, it’s a predictable story. “Where do you want to eat?” “I’m not sure, what kind of food do you feel like?” It goes back and forth for a bit, until one of us pulls out our phones and opens Yelp. Even in my own city, where I’m familiar with most restaurants around me, I still default to Yelp to help me make a decision. And the first thing I tend to look at? The reviews. And quickly, I decide that there’s nowhere to eat. It happened this Saturday. Scrolling through all the restaurants within a 10-mile radius from our house. I’d click on one that looks good, then go directly to the reviews. A handful of good. People love this place! Then a few bad. Then, one that says, “Terrible service and cold food!” “Ok, we can’t eat there!” I’d decide. Then, go to the next restaurant. Same thing, check the reviews. Oh, this person said the atmosphere is bad....
