Should you stick to your early wake-up routine on the weekends or indulge in some extra sleep? 

It’s a question many of us face, and the answer might surprise you: consistency is crucial. 

Your circadian rhythm thrives on routine, and maintaining the same bedtime and wake-up time is one of the most effective ways to ensure a restful night’s sleep. 

If you're not a natural morning person, sleeping in can disrupt your rhythm, making those early rises even harder on Monday. 

I recommend sticking to a consistent wake-up time every day, unless you're dealing with illness or special circumstances. 

This doesn’t just apply to weekdays; weekends are no exception.

You might think being emotional equates to high emotional intelligence (EQ), but that’s not the case. 
Emotional regulation is one of the three pillars of EQ, and it is the transformative key to leveraging emotion to change the way you see your life and ultimately change the way you live your life. 

This skill distinguishes those who simply feel their emotions from those who harness them as a superpower. 

Enter emotional reappraisal—the technique that allows you to pause and reconsider your feelings from a fresh perspectiv, turning your anxiety into calm. 

Research shows that mastering this component of EQ is the key to improving every area of your health, including physical.

The good news?  There is a surprisingly simple key to unlocking this profound transformation - gratitude.

Do you ever feel like your words lack value, your achievements fall short, or that you’re simply not enough?  

Here’s the truth:

You were created with infinite worth by a Divine Creator for a glorious purpose, and no one can diminish that worth—not even you. 

From the moment you were formed in your mother’s womb, you were deemed worthy of love simply because He loved you first. 

Why? 

Because He desires a relationship with you, offering joy unspeakable and hope unimaginable. 

How do we come to know this God?

Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.”

Are you seeking peace instead of racing thoughts? 

Be still. 

Do you want to strengthen your faith and quiet your fear? 

Be still.

✨ Too often, we focus on what didn't go well.  Some of us are hardwired for negativity whether it be natural or nurtured - and that negativity often gets directed at ourselves.

Is there a way to flip the script and reprogram our brains to feel satisfied instead of critical?  

The answer is yes, and step #1 is to celebrate progress in your life - big or small.  

Why? Because celebrating progress is a form of gratitude, and gratitude is the secret to a satisfied life. 

In my virtual health and fitness program, Early Morning Habit, we start our day with my propretiary neuroscientific practice of emotionally intelligent gratitude every morning, but we also share specific gratitudes once a week in the community.
