Win The Mini Fights In Order To Win Your Day

How can we make sure that we are enjoying the process of daily life, which is challenges, which is finding the joy in the process, in the evolution? Hey, everyone, welcome back to the show. It's time for another quickie because there's always time to fit in inspiration. And right now I'm currently at our lake house in Wisconsin, and I am looking. It's Friday, y', all, 2:30pm I've got a good couple of hours of work in front of me, which great. I love my work. But I am currently staring out of some big picture windows in my master bedroom at about three jet skis and three boats with wake surfers and tubers and kids currently screaming and having the time of their life. So I'm like, oh, my God, it is so awesome having a lake house and also simultaneously having to work Monday through Friday. I'm telling you, I could either be like, oh my gosh, all I want to do is get on the lake, but I am using it as such fuel to compress my work. I'm telling you, I think it's making me work so much harder and faster in a compressed amount of time because I'm excited about the things I get to go do in the evening. Like at home, I would just sit around and be on my laptop until 7, 7:30, maybe even eat like a zombie on my laptop until then. And I'm like, hell, no. I am going to work my hardest. And then I want to be out on that water by 6pm because we are in central time zone and it stays light until about 9pm here. So you really get to be on the water from like 6 to 9, which is plenty of time. So I literally cannot wait. But I also want to tell you that because it's summer. And also I have huge goals right now with launching this new company. You guys. I am like two hot seconds from telling you exactly what it is. We just want to roll everything all out at once on social, have all of our platforms, our stories, all the fun stuff all up and ready for you before I release all that info. But I'm telling you, it's like the most exciting thing ever. And sometimes it takes a big pivot. Sometimes it takes a lot of clarity. Sometimes it takes the world shutting down and changing for you to rediscover what you feel like is your soul's entire purpose and path. And I know that building this company, not only specifically this product and I love it, but especially the message behind this company you get to be involved in as well, is like beyond anything that I've gotten to be a part of. And I will tell you, it's one of the most challenging things I've ever done. But that is why I love it, is because you don't get to meet the next level of your yourself without putting yourself in a next level position. And that's scary. That's challenging. That is going to be the fight of your life. And that's what we're going to talk about today, is winning all these little challenges that come up every single day. But before we do that, I want you to DM me on Instagram the word lemon, nothing else attached to it. If you want my lemon water recipes. And why do I love these? Because I am going to the next level right now. It's what I'm literally focusing on as a human being in my business, in my relationship, relationships. And this is a habit that has helped me really set everything else into place. It's a foundational habit that I am trying to do every morning, or at least throughout the day, is having a big glass of lemon water, if not like four, because I am making sure that I'm getting my hydration, my vitamins, and taking care of myself. Because your dream will not grow if you are not giving it good soil to land on. Meaning you yourself are the person who is going to get this thing out in the world. And if you're not taking care of yourself or have the energy for, it will never happen. So your dreams require you to be the person who can push them out to the world. And that's going to mean that you're going to have to take next level care of yourself. So this is a simple hack that I am doing to first just prove to myself in the morning, like, okay, you did that one good step. You did that one great thing for yourself. Now onto the next. It's like if you can just get that done and know that you're doing amazing things for yourself. Which, by the way, if you go DM me the word lemon, nothing else attached to it. No emojis, no nothing. Just DM me the word lemon. You're going to get sent all of the reasons why this is so beneficial for you. I think it's going to blow your mind. Vitamin C is so insane for so many reasons, not to mention your skin, you guys, your body's own collagen synthesis cannot be made without vitamin C present. And lack of vitamin C causes massive deficiencies that can really, really mess with you in so many ways. So if you want to feel good, if you want to look good? I'm telling you, go check it out. See why you should be drinking your lemon water every day? It's like the simplest skin hack ever. As well. Okay, so let's talk about winning these daily battles. I am in this place in life where I now officially fully understand that every single day of life is going to bring you challenges. No matter what. There's no way to dodge them. And in fact, I don't want to dodge them anymore. The challenges are the way in which I am going to become the person who has the will and understanding on how to solve all of the problems in order to get the things that I desire most in my life. I no longer am viewing challenges as an upset, as something to be mad at, as something painful. I no longer want to look at criticism or judgment online as something that's bad. I want to look at everything as life, school. It is for me. Why is this here for me? How can this make me better? How fast can I try to get over this? How quickly can I call a friend to talk this out and move forward? How quickly can I forgive that person? It's all becoming a game to me, and I love it. Now when I say I love it. Yeah, I definitely still feel it. I'm definitely like, okay, that sucked. And now what can I do? And when these things come up, I'm like, don't avoid it. Don't try to run. Don't try to go numb out. Don't try to get up from your computer, like, sit in it. And today, you guys, I got up from my computer, like, eight times trying to avoid pain. I had a bunch of emails to write. I have a bunch of podcasts to record. And I just found myself continuing to get up and walk away from the work and, like, go get another glass of water. Go check my social media. But, you guys, it is the pain, it is the discomfort. It is that fiery feeling that you don't want to sit through when someone says something to you or you're upset. Those are the moments that change you. Those are the things that move you forward. Those are the things that when your head hits the pillow at night, you are going to feel accomplished and proud of yourself. And with all of these little things that you have to win every single day, it's like, I think the people who are allowing themselves to be victims of their life and are allowing themselves to view life as really hard and allowing themselves to think that they're not in control, they aren't first looking at these small things that they need to win and they're not trying to take it one thing at a time and also know that they're for them. It's like life is handing all of us the same exact thing. Thing. We all have to wake up and take care of ourselves. We all have to wake up and go move our bodies. We all have to wake up and go work out. We all have to wake up and face the mental battle that is our mind. Because our mind is just wired to survive. It's not wired to thrive. So everything is about dodging pain and everything is about seeking comfort to us. So the first thing you have to do in the morning is overcome your mind. Like, how are you going to win? That moment of when you wake up and those negative thoughts come in. I know, Chris. And I say, I'm happier, healthier, wealthier, more fit than I was yesterday. It may seem fricking cheesy, but it's not. It actually makes you think, okay, instead of, oh my God, I'm so tired, which makes you then go to the next negative thought. It makes you say, oh, I'm happy to be alive. I'm so grateful to be here. What am I grateful for? I'm happier, healthier, wealthier, more fit than I was yesterday. So that's battle number one, that you win immediately. Now your day is going to be followed by about 100 to maybe 500 more little challenges exactly like this. If you can sit and think through all the challenges that you have to win for the day and come up with the simple solution of what you're going to say and what you're going to do. The more challenges that you win every day, the more you're going to win over that day, which string days together where you are winning more often than you're not and you are going to create a winning month. Then if you continue to do this, you're going to create a winning year. Then if you do this long enough, you start to tip that domino where all of a sudden you stack on years where now you're truly winning in life and you've shifted your reality. And I believe that this is going to take anywhere from 2 to 5 to 10 years.

So many people quit at year one, at year two, at year five, and I'm like, oh, honey, you literally just started. If we can't start to understand that winning every single day and that these challenges and these things that we're facing are actually the way and the things that we need to fall in love with, overcoming. Right? We need to fall in love with the process of overcoming and becoming a strong younger person. Because that's really all it is. Like you guys who think that you want the house and the accolades and all the things, trust me, I do too. I wanted all of those things as well. And I think they're very important. But what they also prove is the more that you stack them up, they don't give you long term happiness. They are just very short bursts of happiness. Yes, they make your life better as a whole. And having money definitely makes your life better. I will be the first person to tell you my life is way freaking better, better than it used to be without money because there was a lot more stresses that I could not solve. And I can solve them much quicklier with money. I can also help solve my family's problems, which was stressful to me with money. So of course it does make you happier. But I'm talking about long term happiness. And that's not going to come until you start to be satisfied with the way that you are showing up to the many challenges and the way that you start appreciating the challenges that are creating the human, human being that you're proud of every day? And as a human, we crave evolution. So how can you start winning these many challenges that right now maybe you're looking at as, you know, these big things that are keeping you down. How are you going to win the challenge of a victim mentality? How are you going to win the challenge of getting to the gym and moving your body? How are you going to win the challenge of not letting things unless social media distract you? How are you going to win the challenge of somebody's judgment or opinion not affecting you and carrying you, carrying it with you all day? You guys, everything that I just named are choices. These are choices to carry these things. These things can still go on in our lives, but it's up to us to start to become the person who can choose to think differently about them. Nobody is not experiencing this. Nobody is free. Nobody's getting out alive. So how can we make sure, sure that we are enjoying the process of daily life, which is challenges, which is finding the joy in the process, in the evolution. So lean in. Next time something comes up, I just want you to take a minute, notice that you're uncomfortable, notice how much you hate it, it's okay, and say lean in. This is the how. This is how you free yourself. This is how you become stronger. This is how you become the person who can handle anything. This is how you become the person who knows that in order to win, you have to fail. This is how you become the person who knows that you have to have massive grace on yourself. Because winning means public failure. It means being judged, it means being criticized. It means having your family be disappointed in you. It means letting people down. And all of that is okay if you can also be the person who doesn't dwell on it and gets stronger. So I'm sending you so much love. I know that I am in the same exact boat as you because you are a go getter. You have these big desires, wants and dreams. Don't let this podcast just be a podcast. Go and win a couple extra things that you typically wouldn't today. Go get out there and work out a little bit longer than you normally would because that extra amount of pain is making you stronger than you were. Go Lean into that negative comment that you got. Let it be okay, Delete it. Let go. Get outside. Don't let it ruin your whole day. Go enjoy something. Go tell someone how grateful you are for them. Go do the opposite of what you would normally do and I promise you're going to get a different result. You guys, I hope you start doing little moves to win your day because it is absolutely life changing and I want to see see you living your best life, thriving despite all the things that life hands to us. I'm sending you so much love. And until next time, earn your happy.
