Summary

I have a challenge for you. You ready? I want you to start asking yourself these 5 questions every morning. What will I do for ME today? What am I grateful for? How do I want to serve today? What is one uncomfortable think I need to today to move closer to a goal? How will I create joy today? One of the best gifts you can give yourself everyday is a few moments just for YOU first thing in the morning. This reflective time can happen as you workout, as you journal, as you meditate, or as you shower (seriously, I have the most brilliant thoughts in the shower!) Starting your day with some intentional focus about how you want to embrace the day not only gives you a strong sense of empowerment and control – it allows you to actually CREATE your day to be whatever you desire. You will be amazed by how asking yourself just 5 questions every morning will change the course of your day and, in turn, change the course of your life. It is really that powerful and magical.

0:06.2	shamelessmom.com and clicking on episode 141. Welcome to the Shameless Mom Academy. I'm your host,
0:16.3	Sarah Dean, and I'm here to give you and other passionate, dedicated moms the tools you need to bridge the gap
0:21.7	between motherhood and living the life of your dreams. I'm also here to help you be a little more
0:26.6	shameless every day because if you aren't building a life you're extraordinarily proud of,
0:31.2	what kind of legacy are you building? So let's dive in.
0:39.4	Hello, shameless moms.
0:41.2	I have to brag for just a minute because I'm really proud of two things.
0:45.3	First of all, I'm recording this episode further in advance than normal because I've been
0:50.7	really trying to knock things out in advance to alleviate anxiety by leaving things until
0:57.2	the last moment, which had kind of become my M.O., which is not like the kind of person I generally
1:02.3	am in life, but in recent years, I've been waiting to do things to the last minute just because
1:07.1	things have been hectic and that's what's worked best and just been how I've been able to squeeze things in. But I've been trying to be really proactive the last couple of weeks
1:13.9	to get a little bit ahead on things. And I have to tell you it is ridiculously freeing. So I just
1:19.3	wanted to share that with you as a little inspiration for like when you have those moments to get
1:24.0	ahead, use them. I'm telling you right now, I am using time between an interview
1:29.2	that I just finished and running to pick up Vinnie from school early today because we're going
1:34.9	to an event, which I'll share in just a minute. And I'm like, okay, I think I have just enough time
1:39.1	to record an episode. And even if I don't get everything done, like I might have to come back
1:44.1	and do my sponsor spots and things like that, I'll just feel so good if I don't get everything done, like I might have to come back and do my sponsor
1:44.7	spots and things like that, I'll just feel so good if I have this chunk done and I use this
1:49.6	time right now to really accomplish something that is significant rather than just like
