I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my daily habits lately as I make some changes to my overall routines and I thought you might like to see a little bit of the behind the scenes of what I do to keep me in flow.
Before I get into what I do each day (and some of the things I do weekly and monthly), I want you to know there is no “right” or “wrong” practice to do. The key is to find something that works for YOU. If you get bored with your practice and need to shake things up, do it. This is YOUR practice and what you say goes.
With that said here are the 5 things I (try to) do daily that helps me stay in flow…
1. Move my body. This hasn’t always been part of my daily practice, but in the last few months it’s been SO important for me to maintain high energy and a high vibe. I want to feel more energized and strong in my body and working out daily-ish is how I do it. I also love a good sweat session first thing in the morning and love seeing how my body changes each week when I am consistent.
2. Journaling. Journaling has always been a part of my mindset practice and for good reason. It helps me be intentional about the beliefs I am planting and practicing every single day. I am at the point now where I do stream of consciousness journaling as opposed to writing the same things everyday, but I find it to be powerful and easy to maintain.
If I want to expand in my finances or I need to make some changes in how I think about my body, I cater my journaling to those areas. I have to say this practice has been one that has had the biggest impact in my mindset and has helped me to really make some huge changes in my life and business. It’s also why I created the 21-Day Expansion Experiment Guidebook with journaling prompts to help you create your own practice.
3. Meditation. Lately this practice has taken a bit of a backseat but it’s one that I KNOW I need to do more. When I meditate for even just 8-10 minutes, my day begins with so much more peace and intention. I feel grounded, on purpose, and ready to tackle the day and it helps me keep the gremlins at bay. The challenge for me is carving out enough time to do all the things I want/need to do as part of my practice.
4. Thank you, More Please. At the beginning of the year, I decided my words of the year would be “more please” as a way to recognize and expand on the blessings coming my way. Early on in my practice, I found myself struggling to see any difference in my life and at times it made me want to quit everything.
By taking notice of the things I am manifesting (big or small) and saying “more please” I practice gratitude while setting the intention for more to come. And you wouldn’t believe the things that have come my way because of this practice. It’s a game-changer for SURE!
5. Reading before bed. While I usually talk about my morning mindset habits, I have been working on developing an evening habit as well as it helps to set me up for success for the following day. One of my favorite things to do is read and I don’t really have a lot of time to read between client calls and all of my mommy duties, so doing it before bed helps me do a bit more of what I love. Not to mention I am often reading some awesome book about mindset so it’s a win/win all the way around.
In addition to the practices I try to do every day, I also have weekly and monthly practices that help set me up for success.
Monthly: Every month I sit down and get clear on my intentions for the month ahead. I set financial goals, personal goals and get clear on what my focus is for the month ahead. I may set up a bit of an action plan for them or schedule certain activities that go along with my intentions for the month or just get clear on what I want to manifest and achieve that month.
I’m usually not too concerned with “how” I’m going to do these things, but I will generally have a first action I can and will take to get the ball rolling. The Universe then follows up with some incredible magic that pops up later in the month.
Weekly: Each week I also set my goals and intentions for what I want to achieve and/or manifest. I set financial goals for the week as well as goals for certain tasks I want to complete that week. I look at my finances, my financial goals, and where I need to make some changes if needed.
I will also spend some time organizing my schedule and carving out times for projects I am working on or brainstorm topics and ideas I want to share with you. This not only helps me stay organized, but also helps me stay focused on what I want to achieve.
Consistency is KEY, but change is GOOD.
There are days/weeks when I feel the need to shake things up and I’ll do some visualization, pull some oracle cards, write my goals every day or do something completely different. Some days/weeks, things don’t go as planned and I don’t do any of the things listed above…and let me tell you when that happens I definitely see a difference.
As with any practice, the key is consistency, but that doesn’t mean you come down on yourself when it doesn’t “work” or you get distracted. It just means you recommit and get back on track.
I’m not perfect and I don’t do all of these things every single day, but I will tell you that consistently doing this work has helped me to grow my business in a huge way, take more time off, and has put me on a path to achieve many of my goals much faster than I thought possible. I promise the same thing will happen for you!
So, there you have it! I’d love to hear your thoughts.
