Progress: How are you showing up daily
NEW Series: Check your progress
Today is a new day, do you start your day knowing how you want it to be? Do you start your day knowing how you want to show up in it.
What I mean by showing up is simply saying to yourself how will (insert your name) present his/herself to the world today. Setting that premise from the start of the day will then allow nothing in that day to change it.
Practice this by writing it down and staying true to it NO matter what happens in that day.
Listen in as we discuss this more.

Hey, It's your girl Selina Davis host of Butt-Naked Wisdom and we are back with some more episodes, I'm super excited to speak to you guys and see where you're at, we are really going to look at checking our progress. We've been doing a lot over the last few weeks, looking at how we can present ourselves being more bolder, and finding time for us. So I hope you have enjoyed those series and those talks that we've had. And I hope that you've been able to apply some of those things. So just going on today, I really want us to look at, you know, how are you showing up daily? What does that look like for you, I really had to analyze, you know, what I look like every day in terms of how am I showing up in myself? How am I preparing myself for the day? What is the aim of my day? What do I want to actually accomplish in that day, I think we, you know, move through our days as if we were popping popcorn, and it was just another day to come. But I think we should really start looking at how we harness the blessings of each day that we have been given? And how do we maximize on our days? How do we really look at the days in a very progressive, productive way that we can really achieve a lot from my day, and I'm not talking about having lists and lists of to do soon to lose to do I'm not talking about that I'm really looking at what is it that you want from the day? What are some of the things that can really harness more fruitful, and, you know, gratifying day for you in your life. So some things that I have started to do daily, is that number one, I have started writing down three things I'm grateful for. And of course, we are always grateful for life and the ability to wake up again, but really digging deep into the things that you are grateful for. And actually writing them down really hones it in and it gives that appreciation for it. And an acknowledgement for what you are truly grateful for. So I would definitely say number one would be write down three things that you are grateful for. Number two, I will definitely look at the day as in what is that your focus for that day? You know, what is it that you want to accomplish? How do you want to feel at the end of that day, and it could be you setting the tone of the piece for being productive? Showing up and being present in the day? It could be you saying that you want to communicate more? Or that you you know, there could be some things that you'd want to work on within yourself. So what do you want your day to look like? What is your daily focus, and really write that down as well write down what that daily focus is. And number three, I will definitely say to reinforce who you are. And I don't know if you know, that means I had to really figure out who I am and who I want to be and who I want to show up as and kind of who do I want people to see me as I think we allow other people to formulate their image of us and formulate their impression of who we are, and how they view us and how they see our lives panning out. And we take those things as if it's gospel, we take it as if that is the the way that my life is they're dictating my personality. They're dictating, you know, the future of my life. And that isn't correct. I think we need to set the tone for who we are, and how we want to show up and who we want to show up as an What does that look like in terms of our conduct in terms of our attitude, in terms of our mindset, you know, we can start the day and if the day hits us with some unfortunate news than that, they really dictates that sorry, that situation really dictates the rest of our day and we're all guilty of it. I'm 100% guilty of allowing a conversation and email, some news or something to trigger an emotion in me that just changes the course of my day and it ends up not allowing me to be productive in the day. It just kind of news over my day. It runs conversations through my mind. It just allows me to be caught in a space where I didn't wake up feeling like that I didn't wake up, you know, having this emotional roller coaster, on my mind. So how am I allowing a situation to truly affect me in my day? So really saying to yourself, who are you? What do you want to look like but I'm not talking about physical looking. I'm talking And it could be physical, but I'm talking about when you wake up and people engage with you, or just you being around yourself, how do you want to feel? Do you want to feel confident? Do you want to feel loved? What does that look like for you, and that can be so much to so many people. But I think ultimately, once we identify what we look like and who we want to show up, as it will lead us to where we are going in life, to be completely honest, it will help towards some of our goals that we may be looking at achieving. It will help with how we present ourselves to people, how we communicate how we feel internally, and it will allow less external situations to affect that about us. And it will just continue to enhance itself, the more that we reinforce, and confirm that thing about us. And something that I've started to do every single day is I have written out some words, and I just want to read it to you To be honest, it says, Who I am is yours, Lord, what I have belongs to you. W ere I go is according to your w ll, how I live should glorify Y ur name, and I'm a change m ker. And for me, that is who I w nt to show up as it who I want t present to the world. It's w o I want to present to my k ds, it will reinforce the c ntent that I create, it will r inforce my mindset, it will n t allow me to dwell on n gative things, things that I c nnot control. And that is a b g, huge lesson for me, I can't c ntrol the way that other p ople operate and the way that o her people maneuver their way o doing in the world, whether i helps me or hurts me, I can't c ntrol that. But what I can c ntrol is what I do with that i formation. And what I can c ntrol is how that affects me. A d I think is really, really i portant that we understand t at and analyze that, that a out us. And I've had to do t at for myself. I've had to do s me really deep searches on why s tuations have continuously b en the way they have over a c urse of my life, to be honest. A d there are a number of things t at have identified itself d ring that period of really r flecting. So I hope that you c n, you know, look at how you a e able to shop daily and look a things that you can be g ateful for. Look at what your d ily focus is, and really r inforce who you are, so that i can become you know, a solid f undation in you becoming the b st version of yourself. So I h pe that this has blessed you. I hope that this has helped you i some way. Let's continue this j urney of becoming a better v rsion of ourselves. God bless y u speak to you soon and look f rward to speaking to you on t e next episode.
