What does rise up mean to me? To be aware of what I’m feeling and why. Then find a way to continuously improve by pivoting and adjusting my day to day. To navigate chaos and find the ground below to sturdy me, find my footing, and keep moving forward. Lately I’ve been MIA on here with alot of chaos between holidays and preparing to lose and gain within a new chapter of life. A new job. 😳 Sometimes silence is best until you’re ready to come back and share the experience. I take things one moment at a time along side others so I learn how to become someone Im proud of because it’s my life and my purpose to share! To rise means to come out of the challenging times with clarity, purpose, and direction to keep moving one foot in front of the other while finding pride in who you are and continue to become. Keep seeking fulfillment and peace within yourself. ❤️

Why do we resist change? The unknown is scary. We like comfort and what to expect but with change comes growth. To learn to be in the uncomfortable moments I’ve found a whole new world of opportunity and belief in myself. I like to say just dip a toe in the water first and then you may decide to jump in, but not everyone is the same. What typically is your method: To just jump in or to slowly make your way into the water? What are you currently resisting?

Breakfast one of the most controversial meals of the day! Do you or don't you.... Honestly its up to you. I typically have coffee and then a few hours later a breakfast. Week days usually an apple and protein shake then weekends well I need to get better with this again. Working on egg whites, turkey sausage links, and 20g Chobani greek yogurt. That way I start my day with minimum 20-50g protein. Whats important is to get "enough" protein with each meal along with more nutrient dense foods. Easier said than done because lets be real, they just don't taste as appealing. What's typically your first meal of the day and what does it look like?

Is there such thing as a brain overload? There must be. It’s how I’m feeling lately, the past few weeks. Brain is firing in many directions and spread thin on power. Where to start? What to do now? I don’t feel like it? The self talk to just do whatever I think I should is 60/40 depending on the task at hand. Sooo frustrating! When my week seems very out of routine or chaotic this tends to happen. I must choose where I focus, along with where, and when to go into a sleep mode. To get by and reserve my sanity. Real life! What about you?

What typically is most draining for you each day? Where does most of your energy go? What we may forget or don’t have the energy to put into is what we want to accomplish in a day after we accomplish what we feel we “have” to do first such as work, family, and providing for others. Trying to rewire your mindset to do something for you isn’t easy and I know this first hand. As you may relate I also struggle on not to practice giving to everyone else and then leaving myself on the back burner. Find ways to reboot or conserve your energy such as making a quick daily plan, prioritize, and then execute it. I at least find I have the most “energy” in the morning so getting my thoughts and lists done is best. Find your windows of energy spurts and make the most of them. YOU GOT THIS!
