Hi, everybody. Sandy Boucher here, and welcome back to my world. I just had to do this video for you because I am having the most amazing day. And that's not because I won the lottery or anything. It's because I prepared to have a great day. Have you ever had one of those days where you attend a meeting or you're working on a report, or you're spending the day with your kids or whatever it is for that day, and you're just on top of your game? Everything is going great? That's the kind of day I had today. Last night, I made sure I got a good night's sleep. And before I went to my meeting today, I prepared and I read the documents beforehand, and I pictured in my mind the questions that might be asked and what documents I might need to support the things I wanted to say. And I made sure I had them with me. Sure enough, I went to the meeting this morning, and it went amazing. The phone numbers I needed to have, I had, the documents I needed to refer to. I had them right there in the file folder in front of me. And I was full of energy. I had a healthy breakfast. I went to the gym yesterday. I got a good night's sleep. I was on top of my game. Guess what? The meeting made me think of you. And I wondered, how many of these kind of experiences are you robbing yourself of because you're not getting a good night's sleep or you're not eating properly or you're not getting exercise, and because of those things, you're feeling drained and stressed. I had a very stressful day yesterday. Not because I had to do anything I don't love, but because it was really busy. And the best thing out of the entire day was going to the gym at the end of the day because I got to physically work out. And as I pushed my muscles, that stress, it was like I was pushing that stress away. And I know you've heard health nuts say those before, but you know what you're hearing from a woman that used to be well over £200. I lived that life. Coming home exhausted and making a dinner that I probably shouldn't eat and definitely a bigger portion than I should have eaten, and then spending the night on the couch because I didn't have the energy to do anything else. I was the first to say I don't have the energy to go to the gym. Never once realizing going to the gym gives you the energy. Don't rob yourself of life. Don't rob yourself of any more amazing days start today. Tonight. Maybe you won't go to the gym tonight, but eat healthy, get a good night's sleep, whatever you have to do. If it's gonna rob you of minimum seven hours sleep, it gets put off to tomorrow. Because you'll do more tomorrow by getting a good night's sleep tonight. It's something worth thinking about. It's your life. Do what you need to to enjoy it. I love you. Talk to you soon. Bye. Bye.
