The next time you’re feeling lazy or like you’ve got too much going on to do X, remember that all the tiny bits matter in a very large way.
This moment is a vital part of a whole life that I’m creating. What I choose to do in this moment defines who I am and how I show up in the world. I’m dedicated to creating an extremely awesome life for myself, so I’m taking this moment seriously, getting the hell on it, and staying in excited expectation of the stupendousness hurtling toward me.
For example, next time you’re tempted to smoke a cigarette, keep in mind that not only will the craving only last a couple of moments, but so will the satisfaction you get from smoking that cigarette.

The moment you realize the not so great behavior is rearing its head, you can interrupt it by saying something like, “Here I go, it’s happening right now.” Then step back to watch yourself and make a more impressive choice about how to respond.

When we reach our goals, eventually they become our new normal.
Make the conscious effort to stay present and do your best with every single endeavor you undertake today.
If you’re washing the dishes, notice the sound of the water, feel the squish of the sponge, and pay close attention to getting every little bit clean.
Come up with an image that represents your personal sanctuary.
Motivation, commitment, focus— these are all muscles that, like any muscle, require strengthening.
Your job is to shift any negative beliefs that are holding you back; align your thoughts and energy with that of your new “reality” and take decisive, fearless action so the physical manifestation of your desires can come running into your lovin’ arms.
I am whole, I am complete, everything I desire is already here.
Every time you come from a place of “I need to get X” today, flip that impulse around and make it about giving.

The more often you use your downtime to meditate and go inward and connect as opposed to distract yourself and go outward and get sucked into the virtual world, the more peaceful and happy you’ll be.
Visualize whatever new situation you are excited and totally not screwing around about creating for yourself. See it, feel it, own it, be it, shout it from the mountaintop, keep this energy strong. Then do something that will advance you toward this new reality that scares the holy heck out of you or that makes you extremely uncomfortable or that pushes you beyond what you once pretended your limits were.
