TAKING ACTION: ✅Tell me about your weekly win below—and one thing you’re grateful for! Let’s hear ‘em all today! 🎉 “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” —William Arthur Ward When I read today’s quote, I couldn’t help but think—This is a lot like experiencing wins and not celebrating them… I’ve told you many times before just how important it is to share and celebrate your wins consistently. That’s why I ask you to do so every Friday, as it provides you with an opportunity to slow down and reflect on what went right. Attaining wins is great, but celebrating them is the one thing that motivates your brain to keep going. Don’t believe me? It’s literally backed by science. When you accomplish something and take a moment to celebrate it, your brain releases dopamine, the "feel-good" chemical tied to motivation and reward. That little hit of dopamine tells your brain, "Hey, that felt great. Let's do it again!" Over time, your brain starts looking for more ways to win. Harvard researchers found something similar. In a study of people's daily work diaries, recognizing even little progress was one of the biggest boosts to motivation. The moral of the story is this: If you have a small win, celebrate it, and if you feel gratitude, express it! 💯

@Aleiah Barker do you have any really good suggestions for helping your circadian rhythm with the time change this weekend?

This time of year is tough on me in many ways I prepared a crockpot of cabbage soup for myself to stay in check this week It has carrots, onion, cabbage, celery and potatoes with farm ground beef. Vegetable stock and organic diced tomatoes Minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder and other seasonings

Yesterday was such a busy day for me between the gym, a walk and then work, To say I’m tired today is an understatement But I’m thankful I can do this 4 years ago I could barely even walk 😩💗

What’s one healthy habit you KNOW you should be doing but still struggle to make consistent? I’ll go first… going to bed by 10pm I’m such a night owl! My work week wake up time is 5:30am
