My Top 3 Tips For Getting Back On Track After Vacation ⁣

Tap the photo above to watch this IGTV video on Instagram!

I believe in enjoying vacation and I also believe in getting back to my healthy foods once home. But after a week of all the margaritas and tacos that can be hard. So I wanted to share what I do to help me get back on track quickly!⁣

1. PLAN & PREP:

Sunday’s I plan all my meals for the week and prep my lunches to make the week easier. I order my groceries for delivery to make sure I stick to my list. ⁣

Breakfast:

Shake

• Shakeology (already have at home.)

• Frozen Fruit

• Almond/ Oat Milk

Lunch:

Turkey Taco Bowl

• Cauliflower Rice

• Ground Turkey

• Salsa

• Limes

• Cilantro

*Tip: I do meal prep my lunches on Sundays. I throw the cauliflower rice in a frying pan with some fresh lime juice and some fresh cilantro. Then, I cook my turkey taco meat. We use the Trader Joe’s taco seasoning but Mrs. Dash has a good taco seasoning too.

Dinner:

I plan what dinners we are having each day of the week! Whatever ingredients I need for each of those dinners, I will add those items to my grocery delivery. My husband will sometimes pick up the groceries for us as well.

2. PREPARE FOR THE SUGAR DETOX:

After a week of sugar, I know a sugar detox will happen. Sugar has been proven in studies to be more addictive than heroin. So scary! I know that even on my day one of getting back on track, I am still going to crave sugar. So I prepare with healthy sugars and treats for when the cravings hit. My favorites are:

• Chunky Monkey Ice Cream

  • Frozen Bananas

  • Peanut Butter

  • Fresh Almonds

  • Mini Chocolate Chips

• Chocolate Peanut Butter Shakes:

  • 1 Scoop Chocolate Shakeology

  • 1/2 Frozen Banana

  • 1 tsp. Peanut Butter

  • 8 oz. Almond Or Oat Milk

• Raspberry Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt

  • Unsweetened Greek Yogurt

  • Frozen Raspberries

  • Mini Chocolate Chips

  • Healthy Reese Cups ⁣

• Strawberries W/ Coco Whip

  • Coco Whip

  • Strawberries

Another good tip is to get any processed sugar desserts out of the house so you aren’t tempted to eat them and you eat the healthier desserts instead.

3. PICK YOUR DAY ONE:

For me this is Monday. I always give myself a few days after I get home to get my plan in place and food prepped. I love having a solid day one!

The Anti- Inflammatory Diet

The Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition Plan Basics

I am so excited to start this journey! The Anti-Inflammaory Plan focuses on a wide range of plant-based foods, accompanied by moderate amounts of whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. This is how I have eaten for years BUT will now be limiting dairy and red meat intake to fully follow this plan. ⁣
⁣
Nutritionists agree that following an anti-inflammatory plan will reduce inflammation within the body, ensure a robust immune system, and can decrease the risk of developing chronic disorders such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. ⁣
⁣
Here are the basic anti-inflammatory diet guidelines:⁣

1. Eat more plants: This includes both vegetables and fruits⁣

2. Discover whole and ancient grains: These whole grains retrain fiber, anti-oxidants, and other nutrients to promote a healthy immune response. ⁣

3. Choose healthy fats: Plant-based options like olive oil which contain unsaturated fats that support immunity.⁣

4. Enjoy nuts and seeds: They provide healthy fats and protein, as well as micronutrients and fiber. ⁣

5. Herbs and spice: Turmeric, ginger and garlic are anti-inflammatory powerhouses. ⁣

6. Support your mircorbiome: High-fiber foods like beans and whole grain and fermented food such a yogurt, kimchi, and pickles help planate your gut bacteria. ⁣

Is deep diving more into nutrition helpful for you all? I love sharing as I am learning more about healing my body from the inside. ⁣

How I Put The Enneagram To Work On My Team

How I use the ENNEAGRAM in BUSINESS mentorship

As a Business Mentor, I get the privilege of mentoring my coaches to build big businesses from home. Part of my job as a mentor is understanding not only how I am motivated to hit my goals, but also how is each one of my coaches motivated to hit their goals. I also really want to understand the personalities of each and every one of my coaches so I can help them to reach their goals the best of my ability. If you have not done so already, I encourage you to take the Enneagram Test! Once you take this test, you will find out what number you are. There are 9 different personality types and each has it’s own name. Personally, I am an Enneagram 3!

What is the most interesting part about it is that it identifies the following for each of the 9 personality types:

• Deepest Fears

• Core Motivation

• Key Personality Traits

• Core Values

• Healthy & Unhealthy States

• Growth Tips

• Famous People Of Each Type

Once I know what Enneagram type my coaches are, I can tailor how I mentor them based on what they are motivated by, what they are afraid of, key personality traits and their core values. I can then give them tips for growth and what to do when they are in an unhealthy state to get back to normal.

Do you know your enneagram? Do you use it in business as well?

Top Tips for Maximizing Productivity

Planning your day is one thing but actually being productive in those blocks of time is another! These are the things that I do running a business on social media with all the distractions to make sure that those time blocks that I set during the day are as efficient and effective as possible. Here are my:

Top tips for increasing your productivity during even the smallest blocks of time! ⁣

1. The first thing I do every Sunday is my brain dump

I then assign those tasks that were outlined in my brain dump to a specific day and time block. From there, every day when I wake up in the morning, I look at my tasks to-do and make sure than any ones that came up throughout the week, get assigned. So for example, last week my son William was sick. We had to go to the doctors for him and so I had to add that into my time-blocking and I had to move some of my tasks around so I could make that happen.

2. CREATE YOUR MORNING ROUTINE

When you wake up in the morning, either use an alarm clock (not your phone) or self-discipline to say my phone alarm has gone off, I am just going to turn the alarm off and not look at my phone. Morning routines are key to productivity. This is why that even on the weekends, I keep my morning routine. My body is so used to getting up and working that it is routine for me. I wake 10 minutes up before my alarm most days. I don’t look at my phone and I come downstairs to do my morning routine, which includes making my energize. Routine is another key piece of productivity because the more routine something is, the less you think about it. Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg wore the same clothes every day because it was one less thing they had to think about. One less decision to make, leads to less decision fatigue. Here is a snapshot of my morning routine:

• Make energize to wake me up.

• Quick journal practice where I write a sentence about a daily memory of my boys.

• I read my personal development.

• I meditate.

• I do my affirmations and gratitude practice.

• I start writing my social media posts when I am in my best frame of mind in the morning.
  

3. NO DISTRACTIONS

Do not allow anything to come into your world until your morning routing is complete. No news, no emails, no notifications. ⁣So many of us get up in the morning and we look at our phones and let in everyone else into our day. We have just gone from this really peaceful place where the social media world has not come in and bombarded us with a million things already. One of the best things you can do for yourself when you wake up in the morning is to not look at your phone right away.

4. TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS AT ALL TIMES

I love having my phone with me to take photos and videos of my kids. One Instagram story is a 15 second clip so I do the story, and then put my phone away. So I don’t get any phone calls, Facebook or Instagram notifications. I recently signed-up for Clubhouse as well but made sure to turn off notifications there! So when I look at my home screen on my phone, it is just a photo of my boys, no notifications are there. Notifications take you away from what your priorities are. Turn them off on your computer too. I am also the person who has a million different tabs open on their browser, so when I go do a time-blocked task, I close out of all the other tabs other than the one I am working on. The most important thing you should realize about your productivity is that you control it.

5. LEARN TO SAY “NO”

I was someone (and sometimes still am) who has such hard time saying “no” to others. I want to say “yes” to everyone and please everyone. But, I want you to realize that you can’t do everything. So you have to make a decision and understand that by saying “yes” to one thing, means you are saying “no'“ to something else. Saying “no” to things you don’t really want to do means saying “yes” to the things that really matter to you⁣. So for example (in non- COVID times) if a friend asks you to lunch, and you say “yes” to that, you are saying “no” to something else. That is ok but I really want that to be a conscious decision because that effects productivity. There should be no guilt around saying “no” to lunch because you are saying “yes” to your goals and dreams and that’s ok. Really understanding that has really helped my productivity.

People say to me “oh you must be in your DMs all day.” But in actuality I do not spend all day in my DMs because I have a time-block specifically for answering DMs. This practice of only answering DMS for an hour it makes it really easy to segment things and simplify your day. You segment your day to say this is when I am focused on my family, this is when I am focused on my business, this is when I get to rest, it makes it really easy to manage. But you have to go even deeper into your business time. Instead of just saying I am working on my business for a few hours segment it to say I am working on emails for an hour, DMs for an hour and create content for an hour, be specific.

6. BREAK TASKS UP WITH MOVEMENT

I do not set any blocks longer than one hour. Movement is important and will make you more productive. ⁣Work for an hour and then get up and go for a walk because it will give you more energy. Also, don’t schedule work for a 4 hour period. You will become fatigued if you are working straight for that long. Make sure you are moving in between those tasks and make sure the tasks are separated by movement. This is how I incorporate movement into my schedule:

• Morning Routine

• 1 Hour Of Work

• Breakfast With My Boys

• Workout

• Lunch With My Boys

• Nap Time Hustle: 1 Hour Of Work

  • Usually this is when I do my calls

  • I usually get up and walk around between calls

• Play Time With My Boys

The important part is giving yourself space to become clear or your goals and priorities for the week ahead. ⁣Keep reading to learn the step-by-step process I use to plan my week to maximize my time and efficiency!

QUARTERLY + MONTHLY PLANNING

I like to plan out each quarter. That is more for business planning in terms of quarterly goals , travel (before COVID), and any other business projects that might be coming up.

1. IDENTIFY BUSINESS GOALS FOR THE MONTH

I then go to my monthly calendar and look at what business goals need to be achieved in that month and how I will build my marketing plan for that particular month.

WEEKLY PLANNING

1. LOOK BACK AT THE PREVIOUS WEEK’S BUSINESS + LIFE GOALS

   I then go back to the previous week and look at the goals I set that week. These do not have to be just business goals, they can be life goals too! Some examples of weekly goals could be: “I will workout 5x this week” or “I will not drink alcohol this week.”
   

2. TO-DO LIST/ BRAIN DUMP

   Then I look at the “To-Do List/ Brain Dump” section of my digital planner. You will have different categories for each “To-Do List/ Brain Dump.” You will have a Work, Home and Kids “To-Do List/ Brain Dump” section. So for example, in your Home “To-Do List/ Brain Dump” section, list out that you need to go grocery shopping, your child has soccer practice, you need to vacuum the house, you need to clean the bathrooms.
   

3. TIME-BLOCKING

   What is time-blocking? It is taking everything that is in each categorized “To-Do List/ Brain Dump” sections and assigning them time-blocks. So the first thing I am going to do is to create my blocks. So for example, my first morning block is a work block. See below my time-blocks!

   5:30 A.M. - 7:00 A.M. - WORK BLOCK

   • Read 1 chapter of a Personal Development Book

   • Meditation 

   • Write Out My Affirmations

   • Gratitude Practice

   • Clear inboxes, write social media posts

   7:00 A.M.- 8:00 A.M. -FAMILY BLOCK

   • Make boys breakfast

   • Get Sam ready for school

   • Morning time with my boys

   8:00 A.M- 8:30 A.M. -WORKOUT BLOCK

   • Workout with William 

   8:30 A.M- 11:00 P.M: -HOME BLOCK

   • One on one time with William and household chores

   11:00 P.M.- 12:00 P.M: -FAMILY BLOCK

   • Lunch with David and William

   12:30 P.M.- 3:00 P.M: -WORK BLOCK

   • Nap Time Hustle: responding to messages, tackling to-do list, one on one mentorship calls

   • David gets Sam from school

   3:00 P.M- 7:30 P.M: -FAMILY BLOCK

   • Family time

   • Family dinner

   7:30 P.M.- 8:00 P.M: -HOME BLOCK

   • Household chores

   8:00 P.M.- 10:00 P.M: -WORK BLOCK

   • Income producing activities to build my business

   
   The most rewarding thing about time-blocking for me has been to see how I get more done more effectively. I get to spend more time with my family while also getting more done in my business as well.
   

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR KIDS DON’T NAP OR YOU GET INTERRUPTED DURING YOUR TIME-BLOCKS?

This happens all the time. Here are 4 ways in which I handle interrupted time-blocks:

• I am very fortunate to have my husband David home with me. So when one of my time blocks gets interrupted or my kids don’t nap, David will take care of our kids so I can get my work done.

• If David is not around, I will go take care of the kids and stop working. Then, the next time I go back to my desk to work, I will move the tasks I didn’t get done during that interrupted work block to later in the week or I move it to next week’s tasks.

• I also work for 2 hours or more at night. So let’s say one of my kids didn’t nap and interrupted my time-block and I didn’t get important business- building tasks done during the day, I will make sure I get those tasks done at night before I go to sleep and get them done or move them to later in the week.

• When anxiety about not getting things done kicks in, remind yourself of your biggest priorities. So for me, my family is my biggest priority. In the end, I am building my business to provide for my family so if certain tasks for the business don’t get done because I was taking care of my family, that is ok.

ASK FOR HELP!

You need to remind yourself that you cannot do it all on your own. If you have someone to help you with your kids, ask them for help so you can get some of your work done. Don’t be afraid to ask for help because if you don’t, you will get burnt out and you will not be able to get as much done. Looking at your schedule, identifying your priorities and ultimately, deciding what gets your time and when is empowering!

TAKEAWAYS

1. Every Sunday I wake up before the kids and plan for the week ahead.

2. I reassess how the previous week went

3. I decide what my priorities are for the next week

4. I decide what daily business activities are non-negotiables. ⁣

5. I decide what my weekly goals are.

6. I brain dump my to-do list items by category.

7. I actually time block!!! ⁣

8. If you don’t get to a task, move it to another time in the week or do it at night!

9. Remember to ask for help!
