Day Finish!
It's May 31st (seriously?!?!) and that means my Miracle Morning challenge is over. It was a definite success. Of the 21 days I signed on for, I missed 2 - one because I fell back asleep, one because I was hungover. :)
Coincidentally, they say it takes 21 days to make a habit, so let's see if this sticks. I've already talked ad nauseam about how the trade-off of an hour sleep is worth it to go to bed feeling like a rockstar. Honestly, before I was probably wasting at least 15-20 minutes each morning rolling aimlessly about my house while I tried to get my brain to turn on.
Naomi and I had a good conversation to wrap up this exercise yesterday and we concur that it's been worthwhile. I think we both get different things out of it, although we agree that getting the blood flowing with a little exercise and spending time in prayer each morning is awesome. She likes the Reading aspect (way to get through the stack of books on the bedside table ;)), while I really like the Affirmation part of it (as I see that as a way to keep my focus more squarely on my goals). I didn't do the Visualization thing, but after hearing her talk about how she specifically used the technique, I'm excited to try it. Like, think of the situations that happen often that you wish you handled better, and think about how you'd like to handle it. For me, that will be sellers negatively responding to my marketing or offers, and envisioning what it will feel like when I let go of my control issues and let the people I hire do their jobs without my interference. :)
Tomorrow Matt and I are heading to Utah for a real estate conference with a bunch of totally kick ass investors. I'm intimidated. These guys are rocking it, and I feel unworthy of their level of commitment, which is amusing because I am incredibly committed. I just find the idea of scaling to be super intimidating and fraught with the potential for massive failure. It's a bit silly how often I talk to successful people and they have a story about bankruptcy or foreclosure or their car being repossessed while they are in the grocery store. If that's a phase you *have to* go through to get mega successful, I'm not sure I'm willing to pay it. But maybe this is like my research into divorce rates among C-Suite executives. It's common, but not necessary if you take the right approach.
Happy Tuesday, peoples. Go get some!
