Welcome to spirituality! YAY! You found me - a serious advocate for your soul's spiritual alignment!
To achieve a truly aligned and blissful life, this quote isn't exactly accurate. Unless you are completely satisfied with your life, and I know you're not because you're reading this article, change is definitely necessary.
Let's start here:
- What are your morning routines - the first actions you do when you awake in the morning?
- What are your evening routines - the last actions you take before you close your eyes to sleep?
If your practices do not involve all of the following, I welcome you to consider what your excuse is and (more importantly) why you're using that particular excuse. I use the word "excuse" purposefully because if you're not doing these things, my experience with my clients leads me to believe your life is probably a living hell - handling one challenge after another - illness, dissatisfaction, depression, anxiety, etc. One of my favorite mentors, James Arthur Ray, said, "When is NOW the time (to change)?"
Our habits are why our life is the way it is. If our life isn't what we want it to look like, there's only one person to blame - OURSELF.

Want to change your life for the better right now? Adopt these four habits today.
(1) Gratitude Journal. I write down items/things I am grateful for both first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I add only items/things that are different from one day to the next. Thinking about gratitude is great, but writing it down is powerful for our human brains. For some crazy reason, we believe it more if it's written down. Want to start noticing all the things you have in your life to be grateful for? Write them down.
(2) Meditate. This is a funny one. Everyone tells us to meditate, but few discuss what meditation looks like. For me, if it allows me to be so focused I lose time doing it, that's meditation. When I do art, or play music, or do a puzzle, or run, or do yoga, or sit silently, all of that is meditation. Any activity where we allow ourselves to “quiet our monkey mind” - releasing the challenges of daily life - helps us focus on being in the moment. When we're focused on being in the moment, we allow God/Universe to provide us with the divine inspiration and guidance we need to make leaps and bounds of advancement in our lives. Meditation has been proven to be the most effective first thing in the morning because it sets the tone for the rest of our day. Admittedly, it took me a long time to convert my late-night circadian rhythms to acknowledge how valuable a morning routine is to my life. Believe me when I tell you it is worth it!
(3) Luxurious Self Care. As a society, humans are pulled in so many directions, it’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life. It is imperative to make time for ourselves. I'm not talking about getting our hair or nails done. Those are lovely practices of self-maintenance. Rather, I'm referring to how we care for ourselves beyond the necessities of life. What fills you up? What makes you feel special? What do you LOVE doing that you don't already do for yourself? If we are waiting for someday to pursue what we want, we are keeping that self-care in the future. For me, when I was first starting to pursue my wealth, the number one thing on my luxury self-care list was to have facials regularly. To shift my experience of, "Facials are out of my price range," to one of, "I am worth the investment in myself," I started by giving myself an at-home facial every month, and now I allow myself to receive facials at a spa every month.
(4) Mentorship. If you do not already have a mentor, it is time to hire one. If you are reading this, it is not a mistake that now is the time the Universe is calling you to step up and invest in yourself. If you want to learn a skill you've always put on the back burner - singing, dancing, business, auto-mechanics, etc. - it's time to make yourself a priority. The importance of hiring a mentor versus learning from free sources is all about the energetic exchange of believing you are worth it. It doesn't have to take a lot of money, but the moment you invest in yourself, energetically you are committing yourself to advancement - physically, spiritually, and financially.
If you add these four things to your routine, I guarantee your life will improve exponentially. If you're already doing these things and your life is still not idyllic, it's time to examine each of them and adjust to your new and improved stage of evolution. Not sure what that means?
