Week 1 - Day 4

 Good morning, good morning!


I can’t believe that it’s Thursday already!

Waking up early has been a bit more difficult than I expected. 

I’ll admit it again, I have flaws. 6am seems to be too early for me, but 6:20…6:20 is an acceptable time…

For some reason those 20 extra minutes are extremely important to half-asleep me. I’m going to have to work harder when it comes to getting up at 6. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Unrelated but, I do have some exciting news!

When I first decided to start getting up early, I searched on Spotify “getting up early” and came across an episode from “How to Money” that had a guest called “5am Joel”. For those who want to listen, the title of the episode is “Waking Up Early and Intentional Living with 5am Joel #154”.

I listened to the episode hoping to gain some insight and in turn, I became motivated to start blogging again and living my life intentionally.

Joel spoke about a morning email that he puts out, sort of a way to keep himself accountable when it comes to waking up early. It’s a short email, but the messages within them are useful.

If you would like to subscribe to Joel’s morning email you can go here: www.5amjoel.com

Well, Tuesday morning, I replied to one of his morning emails and explained to him how he had inspired me to start making a change in my life. I even sent him the link to my blog and asked if he may have tips.

Much to my surprise, Joel replied to me. We exchanged a few emails, and we now have a scheduled call today. 

You may think I’m silly for being so excited for a phone call from someone, but, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to speak to someone who has successfully made this change in their life. 

The knowledge and tips I may receive from this call could be what I need to get to that next step, to commit 100% and be successful. 

Anyway, I assume I will have a longer blog coming up, all about what I learned by speaking with 5am Joel. 


I hope you all have an amazing and intentional day ahead of you. Speak soon!

Life Changes

The year 2018 was not a good year for me. Two things that will send someone into a crippling depression happened to me... As I am still healing from this most recent one, I don't want to go into much detail. But for the rest of this post to make sense you'll need to know that Vincent and I are no longer together, after 8 years.. As time goes by I expect I will be able to open up about it. The past few years I have been stagnant. I still started a Master's program and got a new job as a manager, but I was just existing. I wasn't actually living my life. At the beginning of October I started a 6 week fitness challenge at a CrossFit gym in town. I lost 15 pounds and began to love myself again. But I still wasn't happy. It took the earth shattering, heart breaking, event to make me realize that I needed to do something about the way I have been living. I was one of those people who got up, went to work, came home and sat on the couch watching TV and waiting for the ...

Positivity

Warning : There is rambling. We are asked the same question over and over again while we become adults: When we are younger we say things like: Race car driver and Magician! Little do we know that our ideas on what we want to be in the future rarely stick. When I was a child I wanted to be a teacher, I think it was because I loved school and I respected my teachers, I looked up to them.  But as time went on, school wasn't so much fun anymore, it was more about discipline and our times tables. (You know, the hard stuff). I didn't like my teachers as much as I used to, so my dream of being a teacher changed pretty quickly. Of course, as I got older my dream job kept changing, it wasn't until my 13th birthday that I found the thing that stuck, Photography. My step dad bought me a Canon (I know, I know, gross) for my birthday. I took so many pictures!! And I was sure that photography was my thing, no one else's. ...

American Ninja Warrior

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great summer! Did you notice something different about tonight's post? Well, if you are an avid reader, I'm sure you have. Tonight's post's title is not a Coldplay song. (That sentence came out weird). I'm sitting here next to my mother watching a TV show called "American Ninja Warrior" Have you guys seen this show?? In my opinion it is Wipeout on steroids. Now, I'm sure the competitors aren't on steroids, it's just an expression. People from all over the country train for years (no joke) to get a shot at a million dollars. They go through these crazy obstacles trying to get the best time for completing the course. The top ten competitors from the semi-finals compete at "Mount Midoriyama" in Japan, which is the "birth place" of Ninja Warrior. I'm posting a short video so you guys can see what I'm talking about.   Check this out This show is truly amazing, s...
