TheHomeMag North Orange County July 2023

You are lying fast asleep in bed; I mean asleep. You are having one of those dreams that takes you to a far-off place to be the superhero of your adventure. You start hearing a loud buzzing that keeps interrupting your current battle with the villain. It’s getting louder. Your mind gets pulled into the incessant noise…darn, it’s the alarm clock. No! It can’t be time to wake up, you just laid down. Your body is not moving, but your mind must make a choice. Push the snooze button for an extra 10 minutes and go back to fighting your villain, or wake up. My technique for getting up is not to think and to just jump up fast.

That waking moment decision at the beginning of your day will either set you up for success or failure. Create a winning habit and get up. On the other hand, quitting can be a habit too. Every time you don’t follow through on a commitment, no matter how small, you reinforce that behavior.

“Excuses will turn your dreams into dust.”

– Unknown

Most people quit before they even start. Think of how many times you said you would go on

Getting in the Habit

take on any challenge. After all, it’s going to be YOUR BEST DAY EVER!!

Summer is here, life is good, and you can do anything you put your mind to doing. Start with small baby steps. Commit to “Just Doing it.” Don’t think, just do, and watch the results flow.

“Every day that passes, you are either wishing and doing nothing or you are working towards winning.”– Geoffrey Ocaya

Be a Winner this Summer!
