🔥 Our foundation is what keeps us grounded when life gets loud. A full foundation (60 min) sets the tone. A mini-foundation (10–20 min) keeps the flame alive even on the weekend. Both matter. Both count. Both are key to consistency. ✨ The pillars of the foundation: - Curfew / Kick-Out Time - Digital Sunset - Read in bedtime - Wake-Up Time - Morning Routine - First Commitment / Digital Sunrise 💡 Then there are the 3 non-negotiables .. the daily reps that can’t be skipped. You get to choose yours, but they must be locked in even on rest days. Options include: 🏋🏽 Exercise / stretch 🧘🏽 Meditation / Prayer / Spiritual practice 🧊 Cold shower / breathwork 📖 Reading / journaling 🌱 Clean meal prep 🙏 Gratitude reflection / Volunteer Even if it’s a rest day, we still protect the mini-foundation and our 3 non-negotiables. Because rest without structure isn’t rest, it’s just regression. 🐬 Consistency is the flex. Pick your 3, own them daily, and let the foundation do the heavy lifting for your future self. 💬 Which 3 non-negotiables will you commit to this week no matter what? COMMENT BELOW ⬇️ 🫡🐬 Hakeem

This isn’t about restriction. It’s about freedom. For the next 30 days we’re proving that our discipline belongs to our purpose, not our poison. For 30 days we cut out: 🚫 Sugar 🚫 Liquor 🚫 Weed 🚫 Nicotine 🚫 Porn 🚫caffeine 🚫video games 🚫gambling 🚫gluten 🚫 Instant dopamine (mindless scrolling, junk food, cheap escapes) And for 30 days we lock in: 💧 Hydration 🏋🏽 Movement 🌱 Clean eating 😴 Solid sleep 📖 Reflection & journaling 🐬 Foundations that keep us consistent 🧠 Science says dopamine pathways for sugar, nicotine, alcohol, and screens light up just like hard drugs. That means most of us have already been disciplined… just in the wrong direction. The Challenge is about flipping that same loyalty toward our growth. ⚡ This is where confidence is built. This is where clarity comes back. This is where we find out who we are without the crutches. 🐬 Zoom check-ins: - Monday 6PM EST (CYC KIDS) - Tuesday @ 10 a.m. (CYC Tuesday) - Tuesday @ 7 p.m. (Challenge Check-In) 💬 What’s the first craving you’re ready to flip into confidence?

💰Today’s follow-up reminds us that reflection means nothing without correction because it’s usually not the lack of money that keeps most people stuck … it’s the lack of discipline with it. 💳 Credit, savings, investments, even side hustles… they’re all neutral tools. Discipline is what makes them wealth-building instead of stress-building. Dedication is what turns a dollar into momentum. And prioritization? That’s where the magic happens … when you stop asking, “How can I spend this?” and start asking, “How can I grow this?” 🔥 The truth is, most people don’t need more income, they need more intention. We’ve all seen it: someone makes more and spends more, never shifting the cycle. But when you choose discipline, even a little goes a long way. Consistency compounds like interest — miss it, and the cost doubles. 🌱 The CYC philosophy is simple: discipline builds freedom. Dedication creates overflow. Prioritization makes sure that overflow feeds your vision instead of your vices. Whether it’s your health, your habits, or your money, the formula doesn’t change. ✨ Reflection for today: 🌟Where are you spending like a consumer instead of investing like a creator? 🌟What’s one financial habit you can discipline this week , even in the smallest way?

🐬 The Choose Yourself Challenge begins in two weeks Sept 15 - the hardest one yet. A full dopamine reset: no BS.. Just clarity, discipline, and foundation. ✨ That means these last two weekends aren’t about numbing, they’re about celebrating with intention. Go enjoy, laugh, dance, and eat, but do it knowing you’re preparing for what’s ahead. ✨ Balance isn’t avoidance, its alignment. Celebration and discipline can coexist when your foundation is strong. ✨ The real test isn’t cutting vices, it’s building the systems that hold you steady when cravings try to pull you back. ⚡ Reflection for the week: Are you ending this summer with baggage… or with balance? This challenge will change your life if you lock in 100%! Let’s grow! - Hakeem 🫡🐬

💡 Money isn’t who you are.. it’s what reveals who you are. Too many of us were raised in survival mode, taught to work for money instead of teaching money to work for us. Wealth is less about what you earn, and more about how you think. It’s mindset first, mechanics second. 📌 Here’s the truth: 🌟Credit isn’t just a score, it’s leverage. 🌟Money isn’t your identity, it’s a magnifier of your choices. 🌟Building a business from who you are is infinitely more powerful than chasing money to become someone you’re not. 💥The scarcity mindset from the economy, our upbringing, or society’s conditioning convinces us that abundance is impossible. But when we root our work in purpose, money becomes a tool of freedom, not a chain of fear. 🌱That’s why today is special. We’ve got a guest joining us who has coached hundreds, and whose guidance does not come cheap but she is willing to help us today! This is someone who knows how to break the mold, build business credit, personal credit, and align money with authenticity. And today, you get access. Check out our guest- Aqueela’s IG - @mrscashflow 📅 Tuesday @ 10 a.m. EST - don’t miss this if you’re serious about breaking free of societal norms, building your business, or finally owning your financial foundation. 🔑 To prep yourself, reflect on these 3 questions before we start: 1. Am I using money to shape who I am, or using who I am to shape how I make money? 2. What old beliefs about money or credit have been holding me back from abundance? 3. If my business or brand grew tomorrow, would my financial foundation be ready to hold it? Let’s choose ourselves by choosing how we think about wealth. 💸 💪🏽🐬 Hakeem
