    176. What Are You Practicing?

    Let’s maintain this strong energy of productivity and a focused mindset as we continue into this new year! In this episode, I want to share a quote that inspired this topic from Author James Clear, surrounding the concept that “everything we do is practice.” I’ll pose some ideas and reflective questions on how to recognize what you might be practicing, why this is significant when it comes to your career and life goals, and how you can intentionally pursue helpful practices to reach your own success. Let’s put excuses to the side and actively propel ourselves in the right direction!  Episode Highlights: • [2:42] - Quote on “practicing”, what it means and how this puts a spin on your daily activities.  • [5:49] - How you can become aware of what you are practicing that you may have never realized. • [12:04] - The “10,000 hours” rule and why this goes for both healthy and unhealthy habits you do consistently.  • [18:07] - How your team or family can be affected and influenced by your own practices and vice versa. • [23:42] - An actional tip and where to start when it comes to becoming more intentional so you can move the needle in what you want to achieve.  Mentioned:  Last Week's Episode: 175.

    What if fear could be the catalyst to start the year stronger than ever?

    169. Have You Taken Self Care Too Far?

    Before we dive into the new year, it’s time to reflect on self-care and how it impacts your health and well-being. In this episode, I apply Charlie Munger’s principle, “Invert, always invert,” to challenge common self-care practices. Are some routines doing more harm than good? I explore the red flags you might be overlooking. I also discuss how social media’s self-care craze often promotes comparison and unsustainable habits, leading to burnout rather than balance. Self-care is about being flexible and empowering—not a rigid checklist. Let’s start 2025 strong by investing in intentional self care now. Episode Highlights: • [2:48] - Defining the true idea behind authentic self care. • [3:55] - Analyzing red flag behaviors among self care practices, like food, exercise and sleep obsession. • [12.50] - Why your morning routine is not a checklist.  • [14:18] - Ideas and tips on how to create consistent and sustainable self care practices that evolve with your lifestyle and profession.  • [21:00] - Key ideas to remember when reevaluating your own self care to improve your overall well-being.  Mentioned: The Game Podcast by Alex Hormozi  Let’s get connected on Socials!
