Yo, hey everyone, welcome back. I hope you're all having a great start to the week.

Today's Monday motivation is a message and a reminder all about the power our mindset.

Now, if you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you might know that I often get invited

to deliver talks and workshops at events and conferences. And last week, I was in Greece and I delivered

a power hour workshop. Now, it was so great to stand up in front of a group of people who had

never heard of the power hour podcast, the Power Hour book,

the concept, the mindset, any of it. And it was also a really great reminder to me about how

impactful the Power Hour can be and that it is so much more than a morning routine or

deciding to get up earlier. It is so much more than that. And so I wanted to share a few of those

reminders with all of you today. So first up, the power hour. Why is, why has it been so impactful

for me and for so many others? Well, I think that when I get up early to focus on myself or to

focus on the pursuit of my goals, it's so much more

than just that one first hour. It reminds me that the modern world is so busy, there are so many

distractions. And if I do not create space, if I do not reclaim some of my time before the day starts,

before I give my energy, my focus and my attention to

everything and everyone else, I have to start by reclaiming some time for me. And that shouldn't be

a radical idea, but it's always good to remind myself that it is important to create space and to create time. And the reason I

say create is because there won't be more time next week. You know, we sometimes think that, right?

Next Friday, I'll have more time or next month or in January. Oh, then I'll have more time. No,

we won't have more time unless we intentionally create and reclaim some of our time for ourselves.

The world will continue to make us feel as though we don't have enough time, as though we are on the back foot, as though we're rushing, we're behind, we're late, we're busy.

The world will make us feel like that, but we must push back and reclaim time, even if that is just one
