I'm finishing up my walk, and I think I'm already over 11,000 steps being a little overachiever today, I suppose. And I'm in a hoodie, so I'm very sweaty. It's kind of like a walking sauna. So it's pretty cheap sauna. But I wanted to give you a very simple journal prompt that has radically changed everything for me, from life to business to health and fitness to task to relationships to everything. And it's where can I make this easier? We don't get a gold medal for anything being harder. And so I can almost guarantee you, because we're all human, there's something in your life and or your business that is overwhelming. You stressing you out, slowing you down, and it doesn't necessarily need to. And so you just asking yourself with one specific thing, whether it's laundry or marketing or sales or health and fitness, and just simply asking yourself, right? Like, pick something specific. So for me, one of mine was health and fitness. It just always felt hard. It felt like a punishment. It felt like this big looming thing where I've gotta, like, join the gym, go to the gym, hire a personal trainer, right? Like, tell the like, do what they tell me to do. And like, just, you know, or follow a program at home. And how do I do that with two kids at home that, you know, climb on me and just like, it just felt so hard to even try. And so I asked myself that journal prompt question. I said, you know, where can I make this easier. And I was like, I can get steps in. I have I have an Apple Watch. I love putting on my tennis shoes. Like most days. I'm wearing leggings all day. I'm wearing tennis shoes all day. And so there's a lot of health benefits of getting 10,000 or more steps in in a day, and I'm like, I can do that. That feels easy. I sold myself on the idea before putting in the work, and it felt so simple and so easy. And when we can find a solution that feels simple and easy, we're so much more likely to do it versus it being hard and complicated, and so could I be in the gym every single day? Sure. Could I hire a personal trainer? Absolutely. But in the season of life that I'm in that does not currently feel easy to start and to maintain, so therefore, it's already going to burn so much energy. Same thing with taking a green shot every day, I have five seconds to make a green shot. I can do that, right? I have not missed a day, not one day. Every single person that is one of my green shot buddies has noticed so many significant changes, and they're like, this is so easy. This is so simple. Why did I not do this? You know, sooner, type of thing. And so we just want to find ways to make everything else easier. Even today, when I was going to pick up our groceries, I was like, How can I make this easier? And so Kroger has a thing that you can pay for for the year, and they'll deliver unlimited groceries to you. There's just like a small minimum of, like 30 I think it's like $34 but I'm like the amount of time and energy and gas that it takes to drive to Kroger's to sit there with a baby screaming times, right? Like having the groceries delivered for a small fee, that's Unlimited, right? It's not per per time. It's unlimited for the year. No brainer, like, easy peasy, yes please, right? So we want to think about this for every facet of your life and your business, for you, and once you do this for one thing, you'll be so motivated to keep doing it and just keep it super duper simple, and you'll start to regulate yourself around things being easier, which I think is really important for women. And so just wherever we can find easier solutions, the better. Like this is what I work with so many people on like so many people have grabbed our content banks where we do the content for you, there's and they're so easy for us to sell, because, honestly, it's our wheelhouse. And so many people have said yes to them, because they're like, I don't have the mental bandwidth to make content for it to be creative, right? And you know, all of the things, and they're like, this is such a big blessing. And so every single time we sold it, it's been just like a overwhelming, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, right? And so there's just so many solutions, and if I can help brainstorm with you, I'm happy to do that, and I'm really striving to model. This, right? Like, I could be sitting talking to you right now, but again, I can talk to you when I'm walking. Like, that's not so bad, right? And that's easier for me. And and then, you know, there's so much software that we use that is so easy, so, like, literally, for the last year, that journal prompt has changed my life. Where can I make this easier? How can I make this easier? And it keeps going deeper and deeper. So like one solution that's easier will lead to the next one, which will lead to the next one, and you can actually breathe way more and enjoy your life. And I can't stress this enough, when things are easy from the beginning, it makes it easy to keep them going and growing right. Like, if your marketing strategy is easy, if your offers are easy, like to sell right, like, if your health and fitness is easy. So it's really life changing, and it's so simple to pick one thing and just make it a little bit easier, and then a little bit easier and a little bit easier, and it will start to feel more comfortable to make things easy, and you'll get to the same result, if not better. And isn't that what we desire anyways? So it's like, you know, if you feel like you're cheating because it's so easy. Let it be easy. Like, that's what I want you to start saying to yourself, like, let it be easy. Like, this feels so good. Let it be easy. Let it be easy. I'm making it be easy, right? And again, if I can help in any way, I'm here to help. I love brainstorming this type of stuff. Just hit me up in the DMS and happy to discuss some options with you. Okay, let it be easy. You.
