Reading a book called The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson (read it if you haven’t yet!)...

And I’m on the chapter called The Secret of Happiness.

That’s what we’re all looking for right?

But most of us have it backwards 🤔

We think...I’ll be happy when _______________.
(Fill in the blank...I make more money, I get married, I have kids, I get that new car, etc.)

The truth is, and there’s actual research to back it up, that happiness comes first.

▪️Happy people are healthier.

▪️Happy people have longer and more fulfilling marriages.

▪️Happy people are more financially successful.

▪️Happy people have a greater positive impact on society.

▪️Happy people live longer.

So I’m wondering...do you do something everyday that brings you happiness? What is it? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

After hearing my BFF Lyndie Davis go on and on (and on and on) about The Slight Edge, I finally ordered the hard cover from Amazon.

I haven’t actually held a book in my hands in Lord knows how long lol...I usually read on my phone🤷🏼‍♀️

But Lyndie told me this is one book I’d want to come back to, highlight certain parts and dog ear pages, so here we go!

Excited to start! Have you read this one?

Sitting here in my car, getting ready to start my workout, and I’m thinking...I’ll just go for a walk today.

Yes, it’s better than turning around and going home, but let’s be honest...a walk isn’t getting me closer to my goals.

My goals aren’t “walk size” goals. Heck, they’re not even “jog size” goals!

These goals are only being reached by FLAT OUT SPRINTING🏃🏼‍♀️

So here’s my affirmation for the day:

I AM SPRINTING TOWARDS MY GOALS.
I WILL NOT LET MYSELF OFF THE HOOK.
IF IT IS TO BE, IT’S UP TO ME.
I AM IN CHARGE OF CREATING MY RESULTS.

How are you talking to yourself this morning? I want to see those affirmations 👇🏻
