Morning Routines Plus Manifestos

Sep

21

Good morning, friends! Who starts their day with coffee in jammies while checking their messages? I also do it right by my electric fire place and yes. It does feel too perfect to be true most mornings.
 
After checking my messages I read what my family knows to be my “manifesto” outloud. Two times.
 
It says how much money I proudly and rightfully make. It says how much vacation time I take and what my hobbies are. It says my husband is retired. It talks about my personal assistant, what my boys have available to them, and where we live.
 
I take these goals, or “vision” rather, into my work with me to be sure my daily choices align with my vision.
 
Since doing this, I’ve been tested but my energy has doubled. I stay on task like never before. When I find myself off-task or dwindling my life away dwelling on something unimportant, I look above my laptop to the nicest cursive I could muster (I have terrible handwriting) and read my manifesto again.
 
In the evening, I take a glance. I mentally highlight what in my manifesto is ALREADY TRUE. I mentally highlight what I got a little closer to today than yesterday. At the end, I read the most important line; “My family is happy, content, and So In Love.”
 
I challenge you to write your own manifesto. It sounds cheesy but only those who try, will know how much impact doing so can have on your life.
 
I’m friends with allot of life coaches. Like 10. Not intimately, but have been following them on social media through my entire entrepreneurial journey and they definitely know who I am. They’ve been telling me to do this for years and I only just started a couple of weeks ago! Don’t be like me. Take the time to write one out! Write it in pen so when you mess up, you have to write it again. I can only imagine how silly my manifesto from 2015 would look compared to my life today and how much faster I could have gotten here with clear direction.
So take out a notebook and pen. Get some scotch tape. Take your time. Write out your goals as if they were already true. Display your finished work in a place you will see and read it often. Make a habit of doing so. And DM me when it starts to change your life. ♥

Early October I got to experience an adventurous and romantic Swiss Autumn with my long distance partner. We traveled deep into the Swiss mountains, ate all the yummy food, met old friends, went to a dance party, made some new friends, enjoyed a private sauna with an impressive view, took naps, snuggled, and went on […]

We have to get a little creative here with our PNW Photojournalism. One of the first things you learn as a new natural light photographer is how incredible a big window can make any room look. A tiny corner in the most unassuming place, if sitting close to a window can produce the most magical […]

Tonight, I took the boys to the Everett Haunted Harbor community event! Everyone putting it on was so sweet and we all had a blast! Thank you to all the boat volunteers! We started with trick or treating at the boats, watching witches paddle board around the harbor, petting all the neighbor dogs, and watched […]

Hey, Mommas. Take a look at your babies now. Go ahead. Just take a quick peek. They grow. Today was a bit exhausting, wasn’t it? There were moments of things never being quite perfect. You tried your best and showed up in every way you could possibly think to and still, you fell short in […]
