Consistency Sunday

As an exercise to strengthen my discipline, I am creating a week-long challenge each Sunday outlining a particular daily habit I want to accomplish for the next seven days. My goal is to allow these baby steps to build on each other without becoming completely overwhelmed by so many drastic changes at once. Keep reading for more details and to follow along yourself!

Week 2: My second micro-goal is to begin each morning with at least 25 grams of protein.

Benefits to front-loading protein at the beginning of the day:

Energy & Appetite - Helps avoid that mid-morning crash and keeps you feeling satisfied longer.

Healthy skin and hair - Protein provides the essential amino acids required to synthesize collagen, which is a major key to great hair, skin, & nails (not to mention joints and connective tissues).

What I'm doing:

Hormone health - Adequate protein intake helps ensure your body's ability to regulate the various hormone peaks throughout your monthly cycle.

I'm not much of a morning person, so to meet this goal I will be utilizing a few different quality protein shakes, and may throw in a scrambled egg or two some mornings if I'm feeling ambitious. Overall, a simple protein-dense breakfast is easy to add to my morning routine for this week, and I hope to feel a positive shift in my overall energy levels throughout the day that motivates me to continue fueling my body with quality nutrients first thing in the morning.

As always, I invite you to join me in this slow and mindful journey to living my best life on a daily basis, one week at a time. Feel free to let me know if you are tackling the same habit alongside me, reblog and add your own micro-challenge for the week, or drop an ask to share some ideas for future Sundays!

How to create a nighttime routine for a better sleep

Introduction

When it comes to getting a good night's sleep, one of the most important factors is having a consistent and effective nighttime routine. Having a nighttime routine helps you wind down after a long day, relax your body and mind, and prepare for a good night’s sleep. Creating a nighttime routine can be a challenge for some, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some tips on creating a nighttime routine that works for you.

Figure Out What Works for You

When it comes to establishing a nighttime routine, the most important thing is to figure out what works for you. Everyone’s body and mind are different, so it’s important to experiment and find out what you need to do in order to wind down and get to sleep. This may involve different activities like reading, listening to music, or taking a warm bath.

Avoid Technology

One of the most important things to keep in mind when creating a nighttime routine is to avoid technology. Technology can have a big impact on our sleep patterns and can make it difficult for us to fall asleep. It’s best to avoid using any type of electronics or screens at least an hour before going to bed. This includes cell phones, laptops, TV’s, and tablets.

Establish a Routine

Once you’ve figured out what works for you and avoided technology, it’s important to establish a routine. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to do the same thing every night, but rather having some sort of structure in place that helps you relax and get ready for bed. This could include reading a book, listening to music, taking a warm bath, meditating, or doing some light stretching.

Get Enough Exercise

Exercising is an important part of any nighttime routine. Exercise helps to reduce stress and can help you to get a better night’s sleep. Try to make sure you’re getting at least 30 minutes of exercise every day, but avoid any strenuous exercise or working out too close to bedtime.

Reduce Caffeine Intake

Caffeine is a stimulant and can make it difficult for you to fall asleep. Try to avoid drinking any caffeinated beverages at least six hours before bedtime. If you do drink caffeine, try to keep it to a minimum, and do not drink any after noon.

Get Enough Light Exposure

Light exposure plays an important role in our sleep cycle and can make it easier for us to fall asleep. Try to get some natural light early in the day and avoid any bright lights before bedtime. If you need to use electronics before bed, use ones with blue light filters to reduce the amount of light exposure.

Create a Bedtime Ritual

Creating a bedtime ritual can help to signal to your body and mind that it’s time to relax and prepare for sleep. This could include things like reading a book, meditating, or listening to calming music. Try to stick to the same routine each night, as this will help to create a consistent pattern for your body to follow.

Avoid Eating Late

Eating late can also have an effect on your sleep cycle. Try to avoid eating at least two hours before bed. Eating late can cause indigestion and make it difficult for you to fall asleep.

Keep Your Bedroom Cool

Keeping your bedroom cool is also important for getting a good night’s sleep. Try to keep your bedroom at a temperature that is comfortable for you and avoid keeping any electronics in the bedroom, as they can give off heat which can make it harder to fall asleep.

Have a Positive Mindset

Having a positive mindset is also important for getting a good night’s sleep. Try to avoid worrying about things and instead focus on things that make you happy. This could include things like writing in a journal or reading a book.

Conclusion

Creating a nighttime routine is an important part of getting a good night’s sleep. Try to experiment and find out what works for you and stick to a consistent routine. Avoid using technology, get enough exercise, reduce your caffeine intake, get enough light exposure, create a bedtime ritual, avoid eating late, keep your bedroom cool, and have a positive mindset. All of these tips will help you to create a nighttime routine that works for you and helps you get a good night’s sleep.

Prompt 11: Cattail

[letsberealgenz]

how to be productive: stop procrastinating, stay motivated and disciplined in 2024

Recently my schedule has been pretty crazy! Not going to lie, it can get pretty overwhelming when you have so much to do yet so little time. The truth is time is just time, it’s just that we’ve been filling up our plate a little too much with the expectation of getting almost everything done in just 24 hours and also crazy enough to think that we can juggle every responsibility we have towards ourselves, family, friends, community and et cetera.

Are we living in a time where we can’t seem to differentiate humans and robots anymore?

Being in a chaotic schedule has definitely hacked my productivity benchmark but what surprised me was how easily it is for us to overlook the daily habits that’s actually making the most difference in your day-to-day. Finally, I am compiling and revealing it to you today!

stop mindless scrolling

The #1 productivity killer is this. To be honest, it’s a drug that’s been intoxicating not only 1 person but the entire generations down the road. Like it or not, everybody’s forced to own a smartphone today due to how fast the world is revolving around digital transformation.

I mean that’s okay but what’s not okay is how easily it is for humans to fall prey into this addiction of scrolling through social media. We are living in a time where nobody has to teach you how to be addicted to an application instead we are living in a time where it’s the application that tends to give you more attention compared to human beings. Right?

That’s how you get addicted scrolling through your Instagram feed, Facebook, TikTok and all the applications that exist out there just for you! To be honest, I was definitely in that category too and I hate the fact that I wasted every second of my life going through that addiction till I finally woke up.

An awakening they say? Huh once I knew exactly how we are wrapping ourselves into this great illusion, I made a promise to only use my social media when it’s highly needed. For instance:

work purpose

communication and etc.

Definitely I allow myself to mindlessly scroll too but only when I am completely done with the tasks that I promise myself to work on. Also not forgetting I always find a way to stay in the present moment by giving my time to people whom are physically present around me. That way, I feel like I am truly living and making the most out of the day!

create a to-do list

This is my top habit for easing my anxiety and reducing panic attacks throughout the day. Saves mental space big time! From my personal experience, the moment I begin planning for the things I need to work on for the day, I ensure that it is truly aligned with my goals as well as allocating the time required in a realistic manner.

What happens here is that by doing this, I am actually eliminating tasks that does not require my immediate attention and upscaling my time management for tasks that would actually move me closer towards my goals.

plan your important days ahead

I can’t emphasize enough on the importance of planning your high priority tasks way ahead. Yes, I do know how well some of us work at the very eleventh hour but truth to be told is when you get your planning right, you would ensure that you put in all the effort required on your side to make it happen!

Trust me when you do this, you won’t ever have the feeling of “you could have done more” or even “only if I put in more effort, never know I could ace that event/competition/meeting/presentation.” Planning wins in the end!

set up your vision board

Didn’t they say visualization is the key to manifestation? Yes, you heard it right! Vision board is just another really simple way to ensure you are being reminded of your big goals in life. That dream house, that dream vacation, that dream relationship, that dream job and that dream lifestyle of yours is never going to come into fruition if you just procrastinate and scroll through your phone all day long right?

visualization + belief + effort = manifestation

dopamine reward system

I have to credit Rob Dial’s podcast for this insight! It’s ironic how we only reward ourselves for the big wins but the truth is it’s the small wins that matters the most at the end of the day!

When you start rewarding yourself for those small wins of yours, that’s how you’re going to generate a bigger, better and brighter momentum to keep moving forward in life!

For me personally, I find it so satisfying to cross off my to-do list. This is my daily dopamine reward system for my entire being to be honest. What’s yours?

focus on the important task first

When you have so many things on your plate, it’s so easy to be pulled in various directions at the same time. That’s why it’s so important to recognize which task is truly urgent and actually helping you to get closer towards your goal.

Personally, I use the Eisenhower decision matrix boosting my time management!

monitor your intake

Food is fuel right? I am not a professional nutritionist to advocate about this but I am humanly enough to know that the food and drink we consume affects our entire body system in so many different ways.

energy level

sleeping patterns

hormones

cognitive function

The list goes on and on haha!

take your vitamins/supplements consistently

Vitamins are so underrated to be honest. It’s like we get caught up doing everything externally till we forgot we could boost our immune system just through the right pills. I know it’s always the best to consume intake that naturally has all the vitamins and minerals your body needs but what if you are eating out most of the days?

Exactly, that’s where vitamins and supplements come in as your best friend!

sweat it out

I hate how social media portrays “fitness” because in reality everybody has different body languages. Maybe I fit well working out at home with my yoga mat but for you maybe hiking is your love language. But what needs to be spoken more about is how you can fit a certain workout regime best into your daily schedule.

Consider time as well. Do not robotized yourself instead be really flexible with your regime. Some days working out could be easy and some days you just don’t find time to do so and that’s totally okay. Do not ever beat yourself up for this!

self-reflection

Reflection is such an important tool yet it can be easily overlooked in your daily life. That’s where journaling comes in as your savior. This is something that I have recently found out, night journal really helps in wrapping up my days.

What I did on that day?

What can be improved?

What needs to be eliminated?

What did I learn overall?

What I need to focus from tomorrow onwards?

I will create a special night journal routine vlog soon on my YouTube channel. Therefore, do hit the subscribe button to stay tune for more live vlogs! (PS: This is a new realm for me but I am excited to try this out)

batch create

Saving the last spot for the best! Aha, finally we are here and this should be your #1 habit if you’re an online entrepreneur, growing your business digitally, running an online store, an artist, creator or anybody who’s trying to make something out of wi-fi money. This one’s for you! (save this)

Batch create your content. Save a specific date and record all of your videos/podcasts on that same day. This would help you to save a lot of time down the road for editing and scheduling purpose.

That’s it for now! Signing off, let me know if you found this to be helpful and below are my socials. Let’s connect!

Consistency Sunday

It's awfully intimidating trying to make multiple major lifestyle changes at once while trying to keep all those new habits permanent. What a recipe for burnout and discouragement! Wouldn't it be much more fun and approachable to break it down into short-term micro challenges that build upon each other to create the life of your dreams in a much more sustainable way? Keep reading for details and to follow along!

My backstory & motivation for this exercise: I've had the problem of refusing to live a disciplined life for quite a few years now. I didn't have the maturity to chanel the freedom that comes with adulthood into consistent efforts to improve my personal well-being. So here I am now trying to train myself to be an independently consistent and disciplined person. Better late than never, I suppose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As an exercise to strengthen my discipline, I will create a week-long challenge each Sunday outlining a particular daily habit I want to accomplish for the next seven days. I can do anything for seven days at a time! Then seven days in a row can turn into fourteen plus a new habit, then twenty-one plus a new habit, so on and so forth. My goal is to allow these baby steps to build on each other without becoming completely overwhelmed by so many drastic changes at once.

So here we are, week one. My first micro-goal is to floss & tongue scrape every evening for the next seven days.

Benefits of flossing:

Prevents sensitive gums & gingivitis

Eliminates plaque and tartar

Saves your teeth from cavities

Fresh breath! (Seriously, have you ever sniffed the floss after you were done flossing? Not great)

Benefits of tongue-scraping:

More fresh breath!

Improved taste

Better overall health (Seriously, oral hygiene and a healthy microbiom impacts so many other parts of your body)

Now, let's play devil's advocate for a second here... mostly because I don't yet have any followers (or hecklers) to interact with 😅

"But shouldn't you be doing that anyway?" Yes. Yes, I should. But I'm not, so that is why I'm trying to make a change.

"Is a goal that small really worth all the hype this post is giving it?" Perhaps not. But hey, why not give the small changes attention? This builds a habit of mindfulness and reflection on why we are doing what we are doing. It's an exercise in making conscious and well-thought-out shifts in my life, whether the changes are big or small.

"What a long-winded way to say you're going to floss every day." Fair enough 😂 In my defense, I'm also outlining the weekly nature of this challenge, explaining the long-term goals, and inviting in a community of like-minded individuals who want to join me in this endeavor. The posts will get shorter, I promise. I'm just laying the groundwork.

I want to wrap this post up with an invitation for you to join me in this slow and mindful journey to living my best life on a daily basis, one week at a time. Feel free let me know if you are tackling the same habit alongside me, reblog adding your own micro-challenge for the week, or drop an ask sharing some ideas for future Sundays!

Romanticizing the Sunrise

September 14, 2024

We've all seen those come of age movies, the ones surrounding teenagers and schools where groups are formed based on popularity or personal interest. They tend to begin with the main character or the main friend group just waking up and getting ready for the day. These films often play an upbeat song about how good you look, how everyone loves you, or about how the system is broken and you shouldn't care what the popular kids think.

Humans are idealists and dreamers inherently. A lot of us consumed these types of films as kids and now as teenagers or young adults we find the routines of these movies ideal. Below are some easy ways to help become like those coming of age movies.

Revamp your Alarm

Add emojis or special characters to the alarm's name

Add a song you like as the ring tone (preferably an upbeat one)

Set the alarm 5 minutes before you have to get up to give you time to mentally prepare for the day

Drink cool Water, Coffee, or a Smoothie

I personally prefer drinking ice water in the morning then followed up by coffee when it nears 10. Our bodies need water more than anything else especially after sleeping for hours on end. Water is actually really good for you both mentally and physically.

Make two Morning Playlists

Make a playlist for slow lazy mornings

Make a playlist for when you wake with energy or motivation

Eat breakfast

I know not everyone has an appetite in the morning, most days I don't. But even packing slices of fruit, nuts, or a slice of bread for later could be good! xoxo

The Importance of Finding Your Daily Rhythm

For most people, a daily rhythm means establishing a routine that aligns with your circadian rhythm, which is a natural internal 24-hour clock that regulates sleep-wake cycles.
