You’ve made a task or habit so enjoyable that it

You’ve made a task or habit so enjoyable that it’s almost impossible not to do it ⤵️

Save this for later!

It’s the mental stuff that keeps you from making those positive changes that you’ve always been trying to do. You tell yourself one day that you’re definitely going to the gym tomorrow at 6AM sharp.

Then your eyes open the next morning and you say to yourself, “Maybe i’ll do it tomorrow. Yes definitely tomorrow.”

Change your approach ⬇️

Make it sooo simple and enjoyable that it’s a no-brainer. Make it so easy that you don’t need a lot of brain power (or negative self talk) keep you from doing it.

Don’t tell yourself to go to the gym at 6AM if you want to make a habit out of working out. Focus on doing something small and fun during a time that’s most convenient for you.

I started with just doing golf on the weekends and walking at night during weekdays. I enjoy both! Now I’m happy to share that I am building a habit towards working out 4x a week!

September is my birth month and I’m continuing my tradition of supporting a cause close to my heart. Since 2011, instead of celebrating with drinks or gifts, I’ve asked for donations to charities that matter to me.

This year, I’m supporting the Stroud Water Research Center.

My passion for clean water started when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, and I saw firsthand how toxic waste affected communities. This experience inspired me to advocate for better water protection and to join forces with organizations dedicated to this cause.

Stroud Water Research Center is doing crucial work in advancing our understanding of and stewardship for fresh water. They help people make informed decisions about water quality and availability, which is essential for our survival.

I’d be grateful for any support you can offer, whether it’s $5 or $500. Check the link in my bio for the fundraiser.

When you're trying to make progress, especially wi

When you're trying to make progress, especially with habits or long-term goals, you might expect to see results quickly and steadily.

However, in reality, progress often feels slow or even invisible at first.

Sounds frustrating, yes! It might seem like your efforts aren't paying off. But the key point is that the most significant improvements often take time to show up.

The biggest gains come later after the small efforts have added up.

Keep focusing on those small efforts!

Communication styles and how it affects dating. I think a part of "chemistry" is whether people's communication style matches. What do you think? Have you tried to match a person communication style? In the professional world, you definitely should! And I think we should apply it to dating as well.

I’ve realized that the little things I do each day, even if they don’t seem important right now, are actually building the future I want.

Habits are like the building blocks of the life you want to create. They’re the small, consistent actions that make up your daily life. Over time, these habits add up and shape the direction you’re headed in.

If your habits align with your goals—like exercising regularly, eating better, or spending time learning new things—they help you move closer to the life you want.

But if your habits aren’t helping you reach your goals, they can slow you down. So, that’s why choosing habits that match the life you want is so important.

Last time, I shared some simple strategies to help

Last time, I shared some simple strategies to help anyone who wants to learn how to start making a habit out of working out through #Instagram live.

If you missed it, here are some takeaways:

✅ The key is to start slow and with totally doable things—activities that are easy to fit into your day and require little effort.

✅ It’s important to take a moment to reflect on what working out means for you. It doesn’t have to be a full-blown gym session; it could be staying active in small ways, like walking your dog, standing up after 30 minutes of sitting or taking a brisk walk.

✅ The point is to make movement a regular part of your life, starting with what feels achievable.

As you consistently check off days that you’ve stayed active, you can gradually move on to exercises that require more effort.

Hope that helps! I’d be happy to give you other tips on how to create habits that fit your lifestyle. Feel free to DM me if you have any habit questions.
