Make Your Own Positive Changes

After being “stuck in a rut” for years, Brandon and Meghan realized that if they wanted to improve their lives, they’d need to put in the work. Each week on the podcast, Brandon and Meghan will get into an aspect of personal growth, relationships, business, or just…life. Through honest conversations and guest interviews, they hope to provide valuable advice to get you from where you are to where you’d like to be.

Gratitude isn’t just for adults. . That’s righ

Gratitude isn’t just for adults.
.
That’s right--we bought our 6 year old a gratitude journal. Every night after I get home from work, the two of us cozy up in bed with our journals and get writing. After we’re done, we talk about what we’ve written. This practice, in a VERY SHORT TIME, has shown Brandon and me that kids also benefit from becoming aware of all the good things. All the things there are to be thankful for. And we’ve seen her mood and behavior change.
.
If you don’t believe that a gratitude practice has power, you just haven’t tried hard enough yet. Seeing my 1st grader look forward to journaling every night with her mama and to talk about all the GOOD has convinced me even more that gratitude matters.
.
We can choose happiness. We can choose to see the beauty in this life, even when we’re in the midst of hard things. We can choose to be grateful.
.
You in or you in?!?

I’m gonna let you in on an embarrassing secret:

I’m gonna let you in on an embarrassing secret: when I’m very frustrated, I cry. I know, I know. It makes me seem like an emotional, unstable mess. I used to hate this about myself--everyone thinking I’m just a ridiculous, immature young woman. But now that I’m a not-so-young woman, I’ve learned to accept this about myself. I cry. Big deal.
.
So flip the switch on something you think is less than desirable about yourself. For instance, rather than telling myself I’m a hot mess because I’m upset and crying, I can now remind myself that if I’ve reached that point, it shows I CARE. It shows that I’m so deeply invested that I will do whatever it takes. And that, my friends, is not unstable or immature.
.
Have you ever had to change your internal narrative? Did it help you feel more confident and in control?

Why are the mornings always SO STRESSFUL???
.
Guess what? They don’t have to be! Ever since learning about morning routines, I’ve found my mornings go much more smoothly. If you’re sick of being stressed out in the morning, try these:
.
1️⃣Wake up 15 minutes earlier than usual ⏰
2️⃣Leave your phone alone for as long as possible 📱
3️⃣Do something you enjoy (coffee, read) for those first 15 minutes ☕️
4️⃣Breathe deep before you get up and start your day 😌
5️⃣Prep as much as you can the night before so you don’t wake up already behind 📔
.
How do you fend off the morning craziness??

Over the years, we’ve learned that one ingredien

Over the years, we’ve learned that one ingredient in a successful relationship is the ability to apologize quickly. Couples that hold grudges spend far too much time thinking about all the ways their partner has wronged them, and not enough time enjoying the happy moments and the amazing things about their partner.
.
Apologizing quickly is all about putting your ego aside and realizing that your relationship matters more than being right all the time. Apologizing quickly means that you step up and hold yourself accountable for the part you have played in the disagreement. Apologizing quickly means you say you’re sorry--and then you prove you mean it by doing better.
.
Once we learned to let our fights be short-lived, we became a happier and healthier couple. It doesn’t mean we NEVER go to bed upset. It doesn’t mean we have 3 minute arguments (although, sometimes, we do have super short ones!). It means we choose each other above proving a point.
.
What have you discovered is an important ingredient in a healthy + happy relationship?
