29. Quick tip for your weekend! Stop using the gym just to workout mommas! Use it for time for yourself, self care, and even journaling!

So are you running tight on time but you want to do all the things like workout, journal, have quiet time, prayer time, and everything else !? 
I remember how hard this was so my tip for you is research some nice gyms that offer an awesome child care area and make that investment in yourself! 
You not only can workout but you can also break up your time to get dressed, shower alone, journal, have quiet time, meditate, and even to work on your business if needed! 
Use the gym as a time to crush those goals and not just the getting fit goals!

28. Do you want to create a routine but it sounds hard? Let go of this mindset and be flexible and fluid! Routines do not need to be strict!

Maybe you can relate ?! I wanted routines because it sounded good but it also sounded strict and hard!
What if we started creating routines that were not so strict and instead flexible and fluid so that when things come up it's okay!!
Or what about not having the exact same step every single time?! Crazy to think that right?! Well I know being a busy, scatter brained momma being flexible has worked so great in this season! 
Motherhood is full of surprises and sometimes we need to give ourselves some slack and take away that strict mentality so that we don't end up feeling like we failed or that it is just too hard to do!
I now know that I can confidently create routines and systems within my life that leave me feeling successful and thriving! I accomplish all the things but it might go in a different order every single time ! haha!

27. Mommas totally deserve some self care luxuries! Here are my top 3 that I fit into my monthly routine because it just makes me feel so good, they’re affordable, and helps my confidence!

You know my laundry game didn't take much to be manageable and not stressful if I am being honest!
It took a couple tweaks and a few adjustments and now even though it is not PERFECT because remember here we seek Progress over perfection, it no longer stresses me out and in fact, I haven't been behind on my laundry in quite some time! woohoo!
It's not rocket science but sometimes we need someone to just give us a nudge just like my friend did and funny enough it started with a mental decision then intentional action to follow of course. 
Intentional Action + Accountability + Reminders = SUCCESS 
Now go slay that laundry!

23. Are you hard on yourself?! Start seeking progress over perfection, growth and progress should be the focus!

So I don't know about you but I'm so hard on myself! I have had to check my inner talk about myself because I give myself impossible expectations and instead of seeking Progress I seek Perfection!

Let's choose and be aware of the growth and progress in everything we do instead!

22. Ever wonder if you are holding yourself back from more joy? Yes, I said it. How about choose a perspective that serves us and brings happiness and joy instead of complaining and negativity!

So sometimes we should probably take a step back when we start complaining. I mean honestly and I'm not throwing stones. Friends, I do this all the time. I have to check my perspective and attitude and ask myself if I'm choosing the right focus. 
We can get easily caught up in the negative mindset of why we are upset or disappointed in something but in this episode you'll hear an exact example of how I recognized that I need to adjust my thoughts and also how it influenced others to do the same! 
You're going to love it!! Let's chase that growth mindset and fuel ourselves with more positivity, joy, and happiness because that's our choice!!

21. It’s for your making not your breaking! Sometimes we need to slow down from this busy world and evaluate. Sometimes we need to shift and get still!

Hey Momma, 
I am a firm believer in holy spirit whispers to our hearts and calling us to be still. Why? Because I experienced it myself and so grateful I listened. 
Not only did we as a family walk through some really tough stuff and I was able to be emotionally and mentally stable but God showed me new direction for the next season as well. 
How beautiful is that!?

Then one day I started timing myself to actually see how long it took me and WOW I was blown away and felt kind of silly thinking it took me so long. 
Let's tell that dramatic brain that it doesn't actually take that long or maybe your just not giving yourself enough time to do the thing!
