E14: Sunday Night Routine

Creating and implementing a solid Sunday Night routine to kickstart your week and thrive in your life and business…

---

Leave a review on Apple Podcasts

The 3-5 System

• Choose 3-5 tasks to do each day: 1-3 if they are larger tasks, 4-5 if they are smaller tasks

• Remember: What gets scheduled, gets done!

• Prioritize your daily tasks with emojis/symbols or number them from 1-5 (1 is the most important, 5 is the least)

• Work on only ONE task at a time

Your Ideal Week Template

• Create a template for what your “Ideal” or “Perfect” Week would look like in your calendar

• ELIMINATE or DELEGATE all the things you dread doing, or aren't making time for (we make time for what is important to us)

• As you plan out each week, see where you can incorporate pieces of your Ideal Week and begin to transform your schedule over time

• Start being INTENTIONAL with your time!

Your Non-Negotiables & Your Creativity Cave

• Self-Care and the things that really need to get done for you to be the best version of you

• Maybe this is a power-hour in the morning: spending 60 minutes moving your body, reading, meditating, drinking coffee while you journal, eating a healthy breakfast, being out in nature, listening to a podcast, or a combination of a few different things.

• Put those in your schedule FIRST and keep them on your schedule!

• Your “Creativity Cave” is the time and space dedicated to things like content creation, and brainstorming new projects. It's time that is protected and uninterrupted

Top 3 Takeaways

1. Be INTENTIONAL with your time/schedule

2. Be PRESENT in each task/priority

3. CREATE a week, and a life you're obsessed with!

Share with me! What are your favourite productivity practices? Do you have a Sunday night routine to help you kick off the week!? Send me a DM on Instagram!

IMAGE: My “Ideal Week” It's pretty full, but it works for my life right now 🙂 I have a very close schedule to this almost every week!

E13 The Importance of Celebration

In the Women’s Empowerment Blog, I share a lot of information on goal setting, habit tracking, and mind-set shifting. But what happens when you ACHIEVE your goal? Celebrating what you’ve accomplished is just as important as creating the goal and the action plan to attain it…

---

Leave a review on Apple Podcasts

So often we take 10 steps forward toward our goal, only to feel that we have 10 more steps to go. Take a breath. Look back to see how far you’ve come, and what you’ve had to endure to get where you are today!

It’s important to celebrate even the tiny victories! They are proof that you are doing this! You are amazing! Plus, who doesn’t like to party? Because let’s be honest, life is WAY more fun when we take time to celebrate, and appreciate the special moments, and milestones. 

It works similarly to gratitude; the more we are grateful, the more we have to be grateful for. When we celebrate our achievements in life, the more life gives us to celebrate!

In my Str8 A Formula E-book Step 8 is all about Achievement and celebrating your success. Then, after your celebration, raise the bar a little higher for your next goal. This is how the magic of personal growth works! We stretch ourselves a little bit more with each goal, and we grow! We expand! We reach more and more people, and that means we can help more people too!

In last week’s Episode #12 we went through my free cheat sheet: The 7 Dimensions of Health & Wellness. With this 2-page cheat sheet we created one or two health and wellness habits. Take that a step further and write out what you will do to celebrate sticking with your habits for 7 days and 14 days and 21 days and so on!

To inspire your celebration and future achievements, I have created a free Celebration Worksheet to support you! Download your worksheet now.

E03: Showing Up as a Wellness Leader

Are you showing up to your fullest potential? This message is for the thought leaders, the health and wellness practitioners, the lifestyle experts, and the change makers…

---

Leave a review on Apple Podcasts

This weekend I attended an event for Wellness Leaders. I've been to similar events in the past and have found each one of them valuable in different ways. However, they all seem to have a common theme or underlying message and it's all about showing up.

If you are a leader in your industry and you're feeling stuck, start to think about how you are presenting yourself to your audience, your clients, or your network. Are you stepping into the role of the expert? Are you speaking your message with confidence? Ask yourself: How can I be of service to my tribe?

There are some important themes to remember when you're being called forward in your roll as a leader. Let's unpack them!

>>> You Are the Expert

• Whether you are a Natural Path, Yoga Teacher, Personal Trainer, Massage Therapist, or some other incredible healer, YOU ARE THE EXPERT!

• Your clients are coming to see YOU for your skills, knowledge and expertise!

• You are the one with the training, you are the person in the room with the diploma, or certificate, or qualification.

• Even if you're just starting out, you only need to be one step ahead of the person you are helping.

• TAKE ACTION: Write out your top 5 biggest achievements.

Now that we've established that you are indeed the expert, the next piece to consider is that

>>> Confidence Counts!

• This ties well with my first point. An expert shows up with confidence

• Stand tall in your expertise. Speak your message with confidence. Your students, customers, patients, and clients will trust a leader who believes in themselves

• And the first person who is going to believe in you, is YOU! So when you're feeling stuck, or not sure which action step to take next, or your just starting out, follow your instincts, believe in yourself and start to build trust with YOU

• You can build trust with yourself by doing what you say you're going to do. Write that down.

• Your mindset is everything. You cannot lead someone else if you're at the same belief level as them.

• Most of the time, the reason why we're stuck is because of a limiting belief that is holding us back. Get out of your head and into action. Feel the fear you're experiencing and do it anyway!

• TAKE ACTION: Write out three actions you will take this week and write down when you are going to complete them by. Take this an extra step forward and put them in your calendar, no room? Make space, block out the time.

We've identified the expert, we've built trust and confidence and now we're going to ask a few very important questions to help us

>>> Have a Clear Focus

• First, have a clear brand. Who are you? What do you you do? Why do you do what you do? How are you of service? These are very basic questions that start the spark and power of your brand. When you're answering these questions be as confident and clear as possible.

• You don't have to have it all figured out. But you do have to know: what you do, and why you do it. This “why power” will be your driving force behind each of your blog posts, podcast episodes, social media posts, etc.

• TAKE ACTION: Spend some time outlining your brand. Start with your WHY. Before taking any action in your business (big or small), ask yourself: is this in-line with my why power? Is this in alignment with my message? Get creative and map out a brand that you feel empowered by.

Once you have a strong branding, you can use this to create valuable content for your tribe. A very important part of showing up as a leader to remember is that

>>> Consistency is Key

• Every Wellness Leader knows that you cannot help someone who isn't ready or willing to take responsibility for their health. The same goes for you. It's got to be YOU who takes the responsibility as a leader.

• You lead by showing up. You lead by living the healthy lifestyle that you promote to your audience. If you're telling people to eat whole, balanced meals, you probably shouldn't be eating pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner…

• How can you best show up for your tribe? Think about all the things that you need to do to perform your best. Things like self-care, or asking for help, or delegating tasks, or saying “no” to commitments that aren't aligned with your truth.

• What do you have to do?

• Who do you have to be?

• What are the things you need to set into place to be the best you can be? 

• For myself, I have discovered that I am a much stronger leader, a more patient person, a more creative being when I start my morning with movement. I do this by waking up early and going to the gym almost every single day. Getting there isn't always easy, but it makes the rest of my day run a little smoother and it makes me a better leader.

• TAKE ACTION: Write out your dream day/week/schedule. Answer the questions above as well as: What are the things that light you up? What times are you most creative/focused/in your zone of genius? Choose 1 thing from your dream schedule to start implementing into your daily (or weekly) routine. No excuses, time block this new habit.

You are the confident expert, you have a consistent focus, but you're still stuck. Well darling, it's time to

>>> Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

• The magic happens outside of your comfort zone. When you're uncomfortable it means you're growing and shifting.

• These leaps are helping you and your comfort zone is hurting you.

• Honestly, life is just too short not to live boldly.

• There isn't time to hide from fear.

• There isn't time to live in mediocrity.

• There isn't time to hold back.

• There isn't time to stay small.

• The world needs your voice. There is a tribe out there who is looking for Y-O-U. They want your voice, your energy, your way of sharing your message. They need you.

• TAKE ACTION: Consider the following questions: What is something that scares you when it comes to taking action in your business? What do you keep putting off? What parts of your business are you avoiding? The one that scares you the most… do that. And then just watch the magic that transpires from your inspired action!

I'm passionate about this message because if there was anything I could tell my past self it would be: just start! Stop worrying and take action.

Don't keep living with regrets.
The only regrets I have in life are of the things I didn't do, and
The only regret I have in business is that I didn't start sooner.

Dream big.

Do the Work.

Show up.

Rise up.

with love,
Valerie

Step One: Dedicate time to sitting in solitude and write out a life, or a day, or a new routine that you envision for yourself. Write out all your desires! Don't hold back – go into detail. Write it down on paper. Make it beautiful

Step Two: Since this is a New Moon Intention, make a “29/30-day” plan for how you will begin to manifest this intention. If your vision is BIG break it down into smaller chunks, and slowly start incorporating new habits or practices daily. Each month you can stack your habits, or add a new piece to your intention so that it can grow into the bigger vision

Step Three: Rewrite your New Moon Intention in a 1-3 sentence manifestation statement. Write it in positive/present tense as if you already have it. Post it up on your wall, make it your screensaver, or display it somewhere else that you will see it every day and be reminded by it.

Step Four: As the lunar cycle flows, so will your intention. Follow the flow and let go of expectation. Trust!
