We THINK that the cycle goes like this:Motivation ➡️ Action ➡️ ResultReally it works like this:Action ➡️ Result ➡️ Motivation How do we prioritize ACTION even when we don't feel motivated?By being mindful of our habits.

If you're starting your day with stress and chaos that will fill your day. The quality of your days = the quality of your life. Starting your day peaceful and grounded is the path to a peaceful and grounded life. Successful mornings start with a good nights sleep. A good night sleep is founded on a nighttime ritual. What habits do you have in place each night before bed? Are they supporting you or working against you?

You can hustle your way to your goals but then feel burnt out when you get there, then what's the point? You can achieve success while you're stuck in stories of not being good enough but then your success doesn't feel like it's enough, then what was the point?

It's important in life to not just achieve our goals and be successful but to have fulfillment as well. There are 4 core pillars that I've discovered in the last decade of running a business that have helped me feel fulfilled:

Self Care

Everywhere you go, there you are. Everything that is within you spills out of you into every area of your life. If you're stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, etc. That's what you pour into your career, relationships, hobbies, etc.

Self Healing

The stories you tell yourself are at the start of every action that you take. Healing those old stories will help you show up more confidently in every area of your life.

Spirituality

Your spirituality is connected to your trust, your intuition, your gratitude, the energy you emit and attract and your overall manifestation power.

Sustainability in Goals + Actions

It isn't what we do occasionally that matters it's what we do consistently that matters most. Having smaller, more achievable goals helps us build confidence and motivation over time.

When we have a big goal,dream or vision, we sometimes struggle to get our of our own way and just simply take the first step. Our goal can feel so out of reach that we don’t even know where to start.When we reverse engineer our lives we think of where it is we want to go and work our way backwards until our very next steps become clear. In order for this to work, we think about the version of ourselves that’s already motivated, already successful, already confident and consider what they would be doing. As humans we struggle with something called “confirmation bias”, this is where our brain seeks out evidence in our lives to prove what we already believe is true. So if you have the belief that you don’t have the time, energy or motivation to start working towards your goals then your brain will look for evidence of this in your life. We often think that we first need to HAVE energy, time, confidence, motivation, more knowledge, etc. (Basically some sort of unrealistic perfect circumstance) before we can DO the things that we want to do and BE the version of ourselves that we want to become… Here’s some examples:“Once I have the time I can start going to the gym”“Once I go to the gym then I’ll have confidence in my body”Once I:Have: timeDo: go to the gymBe: confidentWe have to think of things the other way around, the version of you that’s already confident. How does she dress? How does she spend her time? What are her daily habits? Who is she spending her time with?Once you get clear on the version of yourself that already has what you desire you can start to take small, sustainable actions towards having what you want.Be. Do, then have.If you want to share you big dream and the step that you’re taking to make that dream a reality, email me at info@biancadeluco.com I’ll reply now AND send you an accountability follow up in a week.Also, if you want help planning and tracking your progress, you can download my FREE Planner + Tracker here Cheering you on!Bianca
