Today's tip for you is one that we've talked about before, but we always need reminders, and that is to set your intention. What intention are you setting for yourself for today, but also for this week?

It's been a little while since I've dropped a weekend challenge. At least it feels like it has been awhile since i've drop a week challenge for you. And that's what I'm going to do today. Are you ready? This is a fun one. I promise you this is going to be a fun challenge. And that is to chase your passions. That's right, chase your passion. Chase them today. chase them tomorrow.

You are amazing. You are incredible. You are truly spectacular. But yet so many times and so often we beat ourselves up, we just focus on the negatives.

Are you a leader? What kind of leader are you? Or maybe you don't consider yourself a leader. And you know what, however you feel about it, it's okay If you're a leader awesome, if you're not a leader awesome because here's my thoughts on it I would say that that you asked but you're listening to the podcast.

Today's topic is about pulling weeds. Now, not necessarily the weeds in our backyard, but other types of weeds. So our front yard, or side yard, or garden, or wherever those weeds might be. We're talking a little different kind of weeds. So recently I was talking with one of my coaches and we were talking about pulling weeds.

Let's just hop into this episode and talk about layering on success. That's right. Layering On Success. Now, for those of you that don't know, we lead an accountability cohort three to four times a year.

Today's focus for the podcast is actually gonna be a quote that I saw and it's a cool quote, I like this one. It's a little bit different. So, if you've listened to this or watched me or followed me for some time, you know that I talk about, you probably know I should say, you probably know that I talk about your inner critic a lot.

Right now, you're older than you were a second ago. Now you're just older than that one. We keep getting older. It's part of life. Part of this journey, this human experience we get to have, but the mindset you have makes a huge difference.

I made a mistake, and you know what? Let me own this mistake. Instead of trying to cover it up, let me just be upfront and own it.

I'm sorry to you if I'm not clear about what we do. And that's something I will promise to work at and be better at, about being clear about who we serve and how we serve and what we do so that you know if this is in alignment with you. 

Today's episode, we're gonna talk about stress and awareness.  And if you listen to yesterday's episode or the previous one, I talked about taking small steps. Instead of going for those giant leaps, take small ones. Let's walk before we can run.

Take small steps, because I don't know about you, for me I'm a giant leap kind of person. Like I'm just, let's go for it, let's just go, I'm optimistic, I see the good, I see the positives and I'm just like, let's go, let's take these big strides, big steps to get closer to our goal. 

Let's look at the positives, let's find and savor them, but let's also be aware of the negatives, work through, process, adjust as needed, use those as lessons and opportunities to learn and grow, and then let's keep going forward, keeping our eye on the positives.  And that's what today's episode of The Daily Energize is all about.

What is the thing that irks me, that's not in alignment and that is people who have dreams and goals, but they don't work for it. They have these hopes of things to achieve and things to do and experience yet they just sit on their laurels and don't do anything about it.  So, let's talk about taking action today. 

Hopefully in this episode we can help us become more aware and we're going to do that by talking about judgment.  Now you probably know this already especially if you listen to this for any length of time that probably you know maybe a week or more that one thing I really strive to do is to not judge others. And I hope that our Energizer family strives to do the same thing. 

Sometimes that light doesn't shine as bright as other times. And you know part of the Daily Energizer is to help you shine your light to dissolve the walls and the armor. The things that are stopping your light from being fully seen.  But some of the time it doesn't shine as bright because we're not taking care of it. Our cup is empty, we're drained, we're exhausted, we're frustrated, we're just depleted. So, today's episode the Daily Energize is all about making sure you take time for you. 

Let's celebrate the wins of the last week. Let's look back. So, I invite you to take a look back think back to all the way back until Monday, right? I know it was a long time ago but look back To Monday and look for the wins. 

Well, I struggle with a lot at times, and that is forgiveness. Forgiving other people and forgiving ourselves. Let's just go deep. Let's just get into it, because it's difficult. It's hard to forgive myself, forgive other people. 

Today's episode is all about that golden rule, that rule that, I don' t know about you, I heard it since I was a kid over and over and over again, and anytime I did something my parents didn't care for, they would remind me of the golden rules, or if I struggling with some choice of how to act or how do something, they would remind me of that, well, golden rule. 

Take some time, savor and enjoy it. And hopefully today's episode can help you do that. That's right, today episode is, well, it's something that isn't always the most fun at times, but it can be, and it could be extremely helpful even if we don't appreciate it at times.  And that is a self -audit. 

I chatted with Jeff and his co -host Heather, and we were talking about lots of different things, but one thing really stuck out to me, and I wanted to bring it and share it here, and that is to drop the phone.  Drop the phone, okay, don't drop it from a height and let it shatter all over the place. That wouldn't be good. But drop the phone in the sense of, let's just put it down. Be present in the moment so often. 

For me, as I go on this journey and I continue to learn and grow and try to shine as bright as I can, I find that being in the room at events, at places, at things with the right people makes such a huge difference, right?  That I'm able to be poured into and I intentionally put myself in places where I can be poured into so that they're filling my cup. I can have these breakthrough moments, these aha moments where I can look at things a little bit differently, right? 

Hey, Energizers. Today's topic is about stumbling. I don't always live up to those pillars and cornerstones. I don't always shine my light as bright as I could. I stumble and I fall. I'm human, like you. No one's special.  I'm no one, you know, I hope no one ever places me out of pedestal or looks up to me in that way. I'm just living my life and, on my journey, trying to help and support you on yours, reaching my arm back and trying to help and support and guide. 

Hey Energizer, a couple episodes ago, we talked about making a plan for the day and for the week. I'm not sure if you got started on that. I hope you did. And if you haven't heard that episode, hey, that's okay.  No harm, no fall. But I would invite you to go back and check it out sometime. It could be after this podcast, but I would invite that you go back and check it out. Cause today's episode is kind of talking about that. 

Today it's about hydration. That's right, I know it might seem a little different, but please, please, please hydrate your body. All right, stay hydrated. Your body is going to thank you.
