A big shout out to ALL the brave men and women who work in the Criminal Justice Field. Thank you for what you do. Remember you are honored, cherished and you are loved. Keep up the great work.

Do you have a morning routine? If you do great, but if you don’t, I recommend you develop one. One that will fit your needs. My morning starts with the following:

Gratitude – Before my feet hit the floor in the morning, I am going through a gratitude practice. I start will all the people that are in my life and go from there. This one practice can change your life. The more grateful you are the more of what you want will come into your life.
Pray – I pray early in the morning after my gratitude.
Meditate – I meditate for at least 10 minutes. There are many apps out there to help you get started. Here is one: https://www.calm.com/
Journal – I write down my daily goals and objectives and other important information that I want to accomplish – I also journal at night to recap the day.
Work out – I spend at least 1 to 1.5 hours at the gym. Your body runs it all. You have to take care of your body. When you take care of your body you also take care of your mind.

Like anything a morning routine takes time to develop, and it takes dedication. Remember any change in your life is going to take work. When you develop a morning routine / ritual it will soon become habit.

Your habits and routines can change your life for the better, of worse.

Develop your morning ritual today.

Criminal Justice Evolution: Microcast Monday - Everyday is a Reset Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

Hello everyone and welcome back to Microcast Monday. Short bursts of inspiration and motivation to get you started on the right path for your week.

A special thanks to all the brave men and women who work in the criminal justice field. Thank you for what you do. Remember you are honored, cherished and you are loved. Keep up the great work.

If you love coffee, you are going to LOVE coffee from Four Sigmatic. From Cocoa’s to Coffee, they have it all and you will LOVE it all. I am a big fan of Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee. Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com and get 15% off your purchases using PROMO CODE CJEVO.

So excited to tell you about ONNIT. Who is ONNIT? We’re athletes, biohackers, professionals, retirees, parents, gamers, fighters, tradespeople, and forever students. We’re all human, trying to get a little better at what we love every day. The human body is our instrument that we play to achieve greatness and optimizing it for peak performance requires the proper nutrition, fitness, and supplementation. ONNIT provides these foundations to support your human journey.

I take my Alpha Brain every day. Alpha BRAIN is a dietary supplement that helps support cognitive functions, including memory, mental speed and focus. Check out their link here:

I talk to a lot of people, and one of the common themes I hear is that a lot of people believe that they are defined by the mistakes they have make in their past. We all have made mistakes and failures and we all will continue make them in the future, but that doesn’t define who you are.

Research shows that we have, on average, 70k thoughts a day. And 90% of those thoughts are the same thoughts we had the day before. Imagine if you changed 5% of your thoughts. Say 10%. You could change your life for the better.

Remember that ever day is a RESET. Every day you can forge a new path in your life. You have that power. You are not defined by your past.

Go forth and conquer your day.

On to Microcast Monday -

I like the word Catalyst. When I hear that word I think of events in my life that have propelled me forward. What was the event in your life that propelled you forward or made you change? We all have Catalysts in our lives at different points, but most people either don't take advantage of them, or they ignore them. Your life is only going to change if YOU change your life.

Maybe you went through a divorce or separation. Maybe you lost your job or didn't get that promotion you wanted. These examples are tough to go through and I have experienced all of these. But, after I reflected I realized these were events in my life that set me on the path to something greater.

Start looking at your setbacks as paths to a better you. Take advantage of your Catalyst Events and build a better you.
