10 things you can do before sunrise

Many of us complain that we never have enough time in the day to do the things we want. It is very false. We have 24 hours every day to accomplish all that we desire. The difference about 'making time' is you have to sacrifice something to make little changes become stronger.

E.g- If you want to get in shape and work a 9-5 job, knowing you usually are exhausted after work.. maybe you should wake up earlier and work out for at least 15-30 minutes daily. Think about it, these little 15-30 minutes daily can actually impact your body and health by being consistent and pushing yourself just a little bit. It can guide you to a better you.

Here is a list of 10 things me and my sis came up with to do before sunrise. There is no particular order. (And if you don't know when your sunrise is, check the weather guide the day before to plan ahead!)

FYI you can do more than 1 of these things, 5-10 minutes banging out at least three is a good start. No pressure at all, go at your pace, but if you want a change you must start small first.

1) Meditate, some people think you have to meditate for a long period of time, in actuality you can meditate for however long you want. Just be in the moment.
2) Write your thoughts or gratitude in your journal (if you don't have one, get one! Observing where your thoughts are every day can help you turn more to the positive side.)
3) Make a toDAY-do list
4) Read, an interesting book, a new series, anything that interests you and will inspire you to be an awesome YOU!
5) Work out
6) Make breakfast
7) Paint, sketch, doodle anything creative that comes to your finger tips! Adults can be kids too.
8) Take a yoga class (@ Yoga to the people for my New York & Cali people! Check out their site for more info)
9) Reach out to a loved one via email, text, phone and tell them you appreciate them in your life, let them know they are not alone, and wish them a beautiful blessed day.
10) Prepare your meal for the day. Wanting to save money but find yourself not having enough time to make your lunch the day before, do it the morning!

Showering thinking?!

I've been thinking a lot lately. Going back to when I started this blog, I had no idea what I really wanted to focus on. I figured it would come around later. But doing research on how blogs can be successful, the first point made was always to pick your focus, your theme, whatever you want to call it.

I couldn't do it. I love talking or writing about anything and everything. That's when I realized I could never just pick one thing! 

But recently (these thoughts have been in the shower! You know when you have those heart to heart with yourself in the shower haha!) I've understood what I've been writing about most of this "life's" blog. (Not Very long and consistent but I'm trying here!) 

It's been about my passion all along and I didn't even know it. 

LIFE - I've been sharing my own thoughts and experiences on this beautiful journey that we all share in common, life.

I have officially accepted it and made it clear in my brain so I can continue sharing more experiences that I encounter or thoughts that I ponder about. Because what is there to lose? 

If I have 2 readers or 1000 readers, I want to convey my journey on our Mother Earth. And connect with you.

Because it isn't easy, putting ones thoughts out there. So kudos to many of those writers/bloggers/vloggers that share so many personal  experiences to the world.  Many people don't understand that half the time we feel doubtful on what others may think. But trying does not hurt, it's conquering your fear that feels like a champion! 

It is as being on stage, living life and sharing a piece of you with others...(as an actress ;) or not lol) It's Not easy and takes tons of courage.

Have an idea or perspective? Find a creative outlet to let your mind become free, creative, & artistic. 

Peace&love,
