Today's theme #MondayMotivation, and on my mind is some advice from entrepreneur Alex Hormozi that he shared in relation to business, however ABSOLUTELY it relates to health. Alex states to succeed you need: 🦁 The COURAGE to start (his word was balls, I like courage) 🧠 The BRAINS to learn. 💚 The HEART to never give up. To elaborate as I see it... 1. In health, you need the Courage to really commit. Wishy, washy, half-hearted won't cut it. It will likely ALSO eat away at your belief in yourself when you don't come through for you. Bonus points? Sharing your commitment with the people closest to you "should" elicit their support / understanding and also, it will help hold you accountable to more than simply yourself. 2. The Brains means recognising when something isn't working and adjusting accordingly. I absolutely DO NOT mean bouncing from one approach to the next. I do mean learning from mistakes or times you're set yourself up to lose the discipline game. 3. If you are taking the right actions, consistently you WILL see results. However, sadly they likely won't be in the fast timeframe you would most love. This means you must have the Heart to stick with it, as long as it takes and ALSO, to consciously focus on the good - the joy of the journey - the small wins, so that you can stick with it AS LONG AS IT TAKES! 😀 What small or big (!) wins do you have to share?

A fresh new month and I hope it has started fabulously for YOU! A great start has got to be #WorldVeganDay right? Also, I am SUPER EXCITED that Christspiracy is now available to stream free here: https://christspiracy.com/?mcp_token=eyJwaWQiOjkxMTA0NCwic2lkIjo1Njk2NTU2NTksImF4IjoiZjA4OGIwMDMyMDE2NjMyMjU2ODVmNzU4MTg1MTRiMGMiLCJ0cyI6MTczMDUzMTE5OCwiZXhwIjoxNzMyOTUwMzk4fQ.EzHY-a78_RbZRQCSCbYe6fd9AWGz_fwQPN4DmfLAYwc Gosh I hope that crazy link works) Otherwise just go to their Insta: (this will be my Saturday evening!) I just saw this meme and it's Saturday Silly in Australia so I had to share with my Plant Positive friends! Also, a little WIN - I have my first book signing event for the Plant Positive Journal version 2 tomorrow! How exciting. It is at a FULL vegan cafe and retail store here on the Sunshine Coast. They are celebrating World Vegan Weekend. Whatever happens, I plan to devour some deliciousness! I hope your weekend includes much plant positive deliciousness too.

What is your ONE most important daily action for 30 Days this October Plant Positive Jumpstart? Considerations for your daily action: - This is about skill acquisition as well as results. What skills are worth building? - What is something that will have a compounding positive impact on your life? - What is the upside, if it goes really well? - What is the downside, is there even one - besides a little time?

I am so very grateful to everyone for joining Plant Positive and especially, for everyone who has been active and supportive throughout this past 30 Days. 💞 It's a small community however it has taught me, my goal of a safe space for vegans and the plant-based curious is possible. I know we have serious animal rights activists in this group AND we have people who still eat some meat, some time. The vibe remained positive and for that I am grateful. 💞 I genuinely believe the way forward to the compassionate vegan world I am seeking is paved with love and yet I KNOW how much that can cost those of us who are locked and loaded vegan For The Animals. 🎯 My learnings? The June 30 Day Jumpstart was transformative for me. I replaced a bad habit - drinking during the week with an AMAZING habit, journalling and got the calm and clarity I had been seeking. With a huge side of belief and self-respect because my food and exercise is on point and I felt like drinking during the week was incongruent with the person I wanted to be. That was why I was so pumped to share this Oct Jumpstart with YOU. I know how powerful habit change is. 🎯 And yet, I stretched too hard in this Oct Jumpstart. I aimed for too much and some of it felt wrong. Not bad, just not congruent and NOT sustainable. 🎯 The actionable learnings that hopefully will be of value for you too? ✅✅ You've got to know where your time and energy for a new habit will come from. That's why swapping a "bad habit" with a more supportive one can be so impactful. ✅✅ You've got to have fuel in the tank, to push through even if you're not yet seeing results for the new habit. I've been pushing too hard for too long and although I "thought" 30 Days was doable, I ran out of fuel! I decided (and this is a WIN) that sacrificing my two important learnings this year... 1. Prioritising the simple things that help me enjoy the journey. 2. Journalling in a non-rushed manner every day for calm and clarity. ...was NOT something I wanted to do to hit my own little (LARGE!) self-imposed targets that were not yet working.
