I created these foundation boards for my girls to help set them on the right track. At first, it was really just about building consistency around the basics: health, prayer, gratitude, routines, and self-care. Over time, these simple daily habits became our anchors. Of course, every day brings its own adjustments, and I remind them often to stay flexible. Life doesn’t always follow the plan perfectly, but having this foundation in place really saves the day. These routines give us structure, balance, and a sense of purpose we can always come back to.I’m proud of how they’ve embraced this, and even more grateful for how it’s shaping not just their days, but their character and mindset.

💥 “This Challenge is too strict… too militant… too much discipline.” - victimhood & addicts 🐬 The truth is, we’ve already been strict. We’ve already been disciplined. We’ve already been militant.. just in the wrong direction. Think about it: 🍬 Strict with sugar : sweetness in the morning, desserts at night. 🍺 Disciplined with liquor : weekend drinks never skipped. 🌿 Loyal to weed : premeal & bedtime ritual, like it’s scripture. 📱 Militant with screens : scroll after scroll, like it’s a second job. 🚬 Nicotine on cue : stress hits, and so does the lighter or vape. ☕ Caffeine clockwork : not a day missed sometimes twice. ⚠️ The problem isn’t that we can’t commit, it’s that we’ve been committed to our cravings. 🧠 Science proves it: sugar, nicotine, alcohol, and screens activate dopamine pathways the same way hard drugs do. That means we’ve already been living with militant discipline but toward habits that drain our energy, gut health, and focus. 🔥 The Choose Yourself Challenge (Sept 15th) isn’t strict. It’s a reset. It’s proof that the same loyalty we’ve been giving to our vices can be flipped into discipline for our purpose. And let’s be real …addiction loves to dress itself in logic: 🚬 “Nicotine helps me focus.” ☕ “Coffee helps me digest.” 🌿 “Weed helps me sleep.” 🍯 “Honey is natural, so it’s good for me.” Sounds reasonable… but the science doesn’t lie: 🚬 Nicotine spikes cortisol and damages blood vessels. ☕ Excess coffee wrecks our sleep cycles and depletes magnesium. 🌿 Weed blocks REM sleep — the deepest restoration our brain needs. 🍯 Honey spikes blood sugar almost instantly, just like table sugar. We don’t deny these things do something.. we deny that they’re necessary for peace, purpose, or performance. Out bodies, our minds, and our spirits are designed to function better without them. 🐬 Starting Sept 15th: 30 days. No vices! The real question isn’t “Can we commit?” The question is: “What are we already committed to and is it building us or breaking us?”

I am on day 3 of the new school year and already teaching the kiddos about the importance of Growth and Dorsal flexing! AKA having a CYC Mentality. 🧠 I am super excited to embed our conversations and community into my classroom this year! I will unfortunately be missing the CYC lives on Tuesday but I will watch the replay every week on my lunch time walk to catch up and stay connected. I look forward to seeing what 💎s I get from tomorrow. 🐬🐬 Ashley 🐬🐬

Hello everyone, my name is Ricco. I’m excited to be down with the group. Let’s keep health and wealth together and keep it going. I hope everybody have a beautiful day. Enjoy your process.

🐬 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 🫡🐬
