In today’s episode, I felt like I had to continue on with the theme of last weeks to help you even more. I'm diving into a topic that’s been incredibly important in my own life—deep reflection and how it can help you achieve your goals, whether it’s weight loss, fitness, or any other area. I’m sharing my personal journey and how constantly reflecting on my happiness and tweaking my approach has led me to overcome challenges in both my business and health journey. I hope my experiences will help you do the same!

What You'll Learn:

• Reflecting and Tweaking for Success: Over the years, I’ve learned that taking time to reflect has been key to finding success in my health and business. In this episode, I’m walking you through how you can regularly assess your life and make small changes to keep progressing.
• The Power of Being "Selfishly Reflective": To show up fully for others and achieve your own goals, you need to carve out time for yourself. I’m sharing how I prioritize "me-time" and how this has not only improved my business but also my mental and physical health. Being selfish with your time is not a bad thing—it's essential!
• Breaking Down the Process: When I reflect, I focus on two key areas:
  1. Happiness and Energy: I talk about the importance of optimizing your daily routines to make sure you’re feeling your best, because when you feel good, everything else becomes easier.
  2. Problem-Solving: Life isn’t without its roadblocks, and we all have moments where things don’t go to plan. I explain how I constantly search for solutions and tweak my approach when something isn’t working.
• Self-Awareness and Goal Achievement: One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the power of self-awareness in staying on track. Whether it’s your weight loss journey or another life goal, regular reflection is crucial. I share how I make lists to reflect on what makes me happy and what's holding me back. From there, I test new strategies, learn from mistakes, and continue moving forward.
• Practical Tips for Deep Reflection and Success:
  1. Make time for regular reflection—whether it’s an hour daily or a half-day on the weekend.
  2. Prioritize the habits that make you feel happy and grounded, like exercise, spending time in nature, and connecting with loved ones.
  3. If you’re stuck, don’t be afraid to try something new—whether that’s tweaking your diet, speaking to a professional, or reaching out to your support network.
  4. Always remember your "why" and remind yourself of the bigger picture behind your goals.

Final Thoughts: If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that consistent reflection and a willingness to try new things is essential to achieving big goals. Be kind to yourself, focus on your happiness, and remember—small steps add up over time. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right mindset and a reflective ap
