The Secret to Success

Some say the secret to success is in the work you’re avoiding. I’ll take it one step further; it’s actually in the routine you (failed to) create.

I get it, routine isn’t fun but we do a lot of things in life that aren’t fun for the simple fact we desire the outcome. 

Personally, I struggled a lot in the last 6 months of 2020, I kept holding my breath gyms would open again and I could resume my normal routine. I kept hoping my husband’s office would open so I wouldn’t hear his conference calls during the day. Ten (10) months later (December 2020) I was tired of hoping and waiting I started to crate a routine to fit my current life, not one I use to or hoped to have.

My (current) routine changes somewhat day to day depending on workouts and calls but the core (morning) remains the same; these are non-negotiables. 

Here’s a glimpse of what has worked for me based on the patterns of my family:

• 4:45-5:00am-wake up, focus on what I’m grateful for, take the dogs outside
• 5:15am-make coffee, drink at least 10oz oz of water, take my vitamins and collagen
• 5:30am-power hour from my computer (I work undisturbed because everyone else is sleeping)
• 6:30am-stretch & listen to a motivational podcast or youtube training
• 7:00am-Monday-Friday team call (Saturday and Sunday I read an hour)
• 7:30am-read a non fiction personal development book
• 8:00am-start my day (because everyone is awake)

I hope this provides a little guidance and encourages you to stop waiting for life to be normal and start working towards your future.💖
