Instagram LogoDo you have a morning routine?⁠ ⁠ The last few months I've been practicing and adding to my morning routine. It's more intentional than I've ever practiced and I'm loving how I feel with this 15-20 min sensory experience.⁠ ⁠ After getting up and getting dressed...⁠ ⁠ Feed Louie since he's following me around and meowing loudly until he gets his breakfast⁠ ⁠ Pour water into the coffee pot⁠ ⁠ While the beans are grinding, ⁠ ⁠ I do about 15 counter push-ups (don't want to lose strength in my arms)⁠ ⁠ Pour the sweet-smelling fresh ground beans into the basket and push the Start button⁠ ⁠ Walk into my "office" and pick up the blue (20lb) resistance band do 3 sets of arm exercises: kickbacks for triceps, bicep curls, and upright row for my shoulders⁠ ⁠ Move to my desk, sit comfortably in my chair and do a short 5-7 minuted guided meditation on my @simplehabitapp usually with @corymuscara because I love his calm voice⁠ ⁠ Next, grab a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee. Smell the strong delicious aroma and walk outside onto my small balcony⁠ ⁠ I take off my glasses⁠ ⁠ Holding the warm mug in both hands, I take my first sip of strong, black coffee and whisper a few words of gratitude to those who make it possible for me to drink this tasty beverage⁠ ⁠ I live in a dense urban neighborhood of Los Angeles. There are apartment buildings all around me. ⁠ ⁠ And, I look around and see squirrels scampering up and down the big, old trees, the Palms, and the power lines. I hear the birds calling to one another.⁠ ⁠ I look up and stare at the sky⁠ ⁠ This morning, a beautiful cloudscape greeted me and I felt peaceful and ready to start my day. ⁠ ⁠ What's your morning routine? ?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #femaleentrepreneur #workfromanywhere #solopreneur #bossladies #womeninbiz #creativeentrepreneur #girlboss #womeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #beyourownboss #communityovercompetition #empowerwomen #entrepreneurlife #buldinganempire #businesschicks #digitalentrepreneur #entrepreneurlifestyle #entrepreneur #smallbiz #consultant #coach #author #losangelesbusiness ⁠ #marketingtrailblazers #morningroutine #coffeelover
Instagram LogoMahatma Gandhi said, “It’s not just words. Action expresses priorities.” ⁠ ⁠ Which, depending on what you SAY your priorities are, could feel like a slap in the face.⁠ ⁠ In your business or in your personal life, it's what you do, vs. what you say, that matters.⁠ ⁠ This quote jumped right out when I first read it. How often are your priorities set by others? Do you focus on what's important to you, or what others tell you is important?⁠ ⁠ For me, it's usually a combination of both. Or, when someone tells me something is important and I look at it carefully, I realize it truly is a priority for me too.⁠ ⁠ If you're putting others' priorities over your own, then it may be a good time to focus on that:⁠ ⁠ ~why are others more important to you, than what you want to do or believe in?⁠ ⁠ ~ are your expresses priorities getting the attention they deserve? If not, maybe they're not really your priorities...⁠ ⁠ If I'm wandering down rabbit holes on the internet instead of creating the program I SAY I want to offer, then what's really important.⁠ ⁠ This is a reminder to me, and maybe to you, to take a serious look at your stated priorities and decide if they really are, or are not. ⁠ ⁠ Then, take action on those that are! ?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinesstips #smallbusinesssmarts #smallbusinessconsultant #smallbusinesslife #selfemployed #selfemployedlife #selfemployment #savvybusinessowner #femaleentrepreneur #womeninbiz #womanempowerment #womenentrepreneurs #womenentrepreneur #womenownedbusinesses #businesswoman #socialmedia #marketingtips #losangelesbusiness #marketingtrailblazers #Gandhi #quoteoftheday #coworking #worksprint
