They discuss the importance of waking up, practicing with intention, and knowing your purpose.

Tune in to learn how to quiet your inner critic, embrace the process, and correct course towards becoming strong and awake for love's sake.

Anchor Actions:

1. Morning Rituals for Awakening: Start your day with intentional activities that ground you and set a positive tone. Consider incorporating practices like cold showers, breath work, journaling, or prayer. Avoid checking messages or social media first thing in the morning to maintain control over your day.
2. Midday Recalibration: Identify a time in your day, such as mid-afternoon, when you typically feel tired or distracted. Use this time to engage in activities that wake you up and refocus your energy. This could be a quick walk, stretching, or even a brief meditation session.
3. End-of-Day Reflection: Establish a nightly routine that helps you wind down and reflect on your day. This could include activities like stretching, journaling about your day’s accomplishments and learnings, or practicing gratitude. Aim to create a consistent sleep routine that ensures you get enough rest for the next day.
