Staying motivated and focused!

Today's Mantra: “If you ever want to love someone, love yourself unconditionally first"

 In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.” - Tony Robbins  

1) Morning routine!

A good bedroom environment and daily routine, known as ‘sleep hygiene’, promotes consistent and uninterrupted sleep. Looking after your sleep hygiene involves ensuring your bed is your sacred sleeping space and nothing more.

When your alarm goes off, get up and out of bed. According to research 85% of people check their phone within the first 15 minutes of waking up (1). Doing this actually disrupts the pattern of brain waves you naturally have when you wake up (2). So, when you wake, get out of bed, make it (a made bed is harder to crawl back into), and don’t check your phone first thing!

 2) Move your body.

Exercise, steps and getting in nature are hugely valuable in making you feel motivated and happy. Science and research have already proven its benefits for your physical and mental health, and that’s probably something you’ve heard many times.

But how many days pass you by without exercise or without going out for that walk? How much is this a priority for you? Do you track how much time of your week is spent moving your body?

 3) Fuel your body. 

Not only will eating nutritious food fuel you properly and stop you having sugar crashes, but some foods also actually make you feel happy. Therefore, eating good food is one of my top habits to make you happy and motivated.

Foods rich in Omega-3- , like salmon, boost levels of the 'happy hormone' in your brain! Other foods previously linked to happiness include mushrooms, quinoa, dark chocolate, foods with probiotics (i.e. kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut), and more (3). For coffee lovers, watch your caffeine intake, four cups and no more.

4) Forgive & Accept.

Forgiving yourself and accepting where you are is vital to feeling good every day and keeping you motivated.

This might look like writing in the morning,

o I forgive and accept where I am, this is my journey and that’s all that is important,

o I have learnt something from everything that has taken place until now. Good or bad, I accept they are all lessons.

o I choose to be me.

5) Breathe and be present.

Meditation benefits your focus, concentration, sleep and attention. It has also been found to reduce anxiety and depression. Oh, and it’s FREE. If you’ve ever struggled with meditation or think it isn’t for you, let go of any preconceptions about what it is. Try different types to work out which one you might like. I listen to a combination depending on how I’m feeling that day.

And proves something that the teachings of the ancient chakras have been claiming for thousands of years.

That we actually possess Wealth DNA inside of ourselves.

You see modern scientists call it “DNA” but ancient eastern teaching referred to it as “chakras.”

But whether you want to use the modern term of the traditional language, the fact remains the same…

All you need to do is “activate” the energy center that attracts wealth…
