THE ONE WEEK HABIT PROJECT

 

This is for those of us who struggle to change our habits and attitudes that seem deep-seated and hard to get rid of. 

Try this:

1. Identify a habit that you desperately want to create.

2. Set a goal to addressing that habit and no other habit for one week. We tend to get overwhelmed when we have many things we want to change. 

3. Write positive affirmations that affirm that habit and commit to repeating them first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. Stand in your mirror and repeat your affirmations with conviction out loud while staring yourself in the eye.

4. Be clear on why you want to create this habit. It doesn't have to be a noble reason it can be as simple as I want to look stunning in my jeans.

5. Take the time to ease into this habit, but keep reminding yourself of your why. Only take one habit one week at a time. 

Lets make our habit creation fun, easy and simple.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW

 As humans we never know the impact we have on the life of others, just by our mere interactions. As we strive for success, living our purpose and finding our greatness, let's not get so caught up in our lives and the busyness of our lives that we fail to remember the little things that matter.

Here are a few things that may seem small but will mean a lot to the other person involved.

1. Visit a friend or relative in the nursing home.

2. Call on an elderly neighbor, get their grocery, or just engage in a friendly conversation.

3. Volunteer in a homeless shelter or drop off gifts to kids in need.

4. Say a friendly hello to those you pass by on the street.

5. Make a card for your partner. 

Don't let our affection only be shown during special days or only during the holiday season. Make someone else feel special today.

One Love

FIGHTING OVERWHELM

 

My days are long and busy. They at times leave me exhausted and depleted. I am sure I am not alone in that camp. There are days when my dream of being the real estate investor that I aspire to be seems like an impossible goal. That's when I remind myself that the way to climb a mountain is starting one step at a time. Here are some ways that have worked for me when that feeling of overwhelm and doubt begin creeping in. 

1. Have a chat with your mentor or a good friend who will be brutally honest with you, but knows how to uplift your spirit 

2. Make a vision board or write down your goals and break them down into bite size pieces. I often feel that if we are honest with ourselves we will see gaps in our effort which is often times the source of those feelings. Deep down we may not be giving our dream our all. 

3. Recall moments when you broke through on something that seemed like an impossible task or vision at one time.

4. Start an "I believe in myself journal". Begin Journaling the positive things that happened in your life and show gratitude for it.

5. Take massive action on something that is way out of your comfort zone but goal specific. Now is the time to take massive action. 

Becoming successful in your goals and dreams is never an easy road. Never allow that feeling of fear, doubt and overwhelm to over take you.

HUSTLE AND LET IT FLOW

 

When I was in undergrad, I was an international student trying to find my place in NYC and desperately needing a greencard. Hustle was an understatement in comparison to what I had to do just to pay my out of state tuitions. Those days are long done, the struggle of not being a permanent resident has been replaced by the privileges that come with being a member of the documented American society. With that came complacency and a loss of my apitite for greatness. 

My one prayer is that you will never allow the privileges of what you have, over shadow your dreams and desire for bigger and better things. Continue the hustle. This will eventually lead you to your dream. You will be amazed at how opportunities that you never considered unfold when you put in the work. 

As I rebuild my real estate career I am seeing how putting in the work opens doors, boosts my confidence and motivate me to go harder. 

Close your eyes, dream big dreams and hustle hard.

One Love

ITS A SIMPLE WORD.......THANKS

Hey Guys

Many of you have been reading my blog for many years, before my mommy days, and I want to say a big THANK YOU. As I write this blog on a Friday morning there are so many things going through my mind. My silly little habits started out as a desire to change my life by changing my thoughts. It's a daily constant grind. 

As many of you know I am a licenced NYS realtor a home owner, and a landlord. Real estate is that thing that I love but to make it in this business it's hard work, persistence, never taking a break. Purchasing a home is the single biggest investment most people make in their lives therefore a realtor must be knowledgeable of the market and market trends, have strong negotiations skills, and know how to lead their sellers and buyers in making informed decisions that will not cost them a fortune. 

I am changing my business model as I increase marketing. From time to time I will use this platform to speak to the real estate trends and its effect on our lives because the impacts are big, but very few are aware. 

Please follow me on IG @dannidee and Facebook danielle Bentley the realtor.

I love 💘 my tribe.

UNSTUCK YOURSELF

Stuck in a rut? Check your routines. The answer can always be found there. As humans we find ourselves doing the same things over and over on a daily basis. Falling into patterns that are either making us or breaking us. 

The key to pulling ourselves out of those routines is by changing our association. Surrounding ourselves with people who challenge us and take us out of our comfort zone and getting an accountability partner is essential.

Remember- If you do the things you've always done you'll get the results you've always gotten.

One Love
