dear dope chick,

welcome + welcome back! 👋🏾

we are already on episode two — how’d we get here so quickly?

nonetheless, we are here + ready to take action today!

what you’ll need:

this is an action based podcast so that means that every episode you are challenged to take one small step that aligns with living life on your own terms, that aligns with the lifestyle you most desire. 

you are free to listen to this podcast straight through + do absolutely nothing, that’s your right + your choice. 

for those of you who want to live life on your own terms, to change the course of your life, and who are fed up doing the shit you’re doing:

i encourage you to take some type of action today!

grab a notebook or journal that is dedicated to this podcast so that you can participate in the activities and exercises discussed.

your life will thank you for it.

your future self is thanking you for it right now!

have you heard last week’s episode?

this episode will build upon last episode so if you aren’t familiar or haven’t heard last week’s episode, take a listen so that you can better understand the purpose behind this week’s action steps.

you can listen to it here.

is it a match or nah?

now that you’ve established what living life on your own terms looks like for you, i want you think about how your current actions are supporting the lifestyle that you’ve visualized yourself living. 

is it a match or nah?

questions to ask yourself:

  • Do my current actions and behaviors align with the lifestyle I want to live?
  • Are you doing everything that you can possibly do that aligns you with the lifestyle that you envision yourself living?

your highest self is craving a change in your routine that supports exactly what want out of life.

by acting as if you already have everything you desire and by living in such a way that supports that very idea, you are turning your dreams and desires into your reality.

act like you know

now’s the time to act like that person from your visualization… because you are that person.

to be her fully + completely, you will need to shake some shit up in your life and establish new routines that better support that lifestyle.

take action!

the lifestyle you most desire requires your action.

it will not come to you by happenstance.

it’s not gonna just fall into your lap.

if you feel you’re “lucky” enough to live the life you wanna live, understand you haven’t built a report with yourself to know that you can sustain that lifestyle.

the first change that’s necessary is a complete mindset shift.

sidenote: you aren’t “lucky”, sis

it’s also not a “coincidence” that anything is happening in your life.

we have got to release those words into the wild!

luck + coincidence are the offspring of happenstance.

they don’t happen to you.

rather, what we categorize as “luck” or “coincidence” happens because of you. subconsciously or consciously, you are attracting what is happening.

it’s not luck you’re experiencing when dope shit/bad shit happens for you or a coincidence when something pops up, it’s you walking in or out of alignment!

take all of the time you need with that one. 🤗

becoming more self-aware + making time for self-reflection

over the next few days, take inventory of what you’re doing from the time that you wake up until the time that you lay down at night. 

what activities fill your daily moments and do these activities align with the desires of your heart?

think back to the visual of your life you imagined last episode — how does that person move?

remember that person is you — so how do you move, sis?

  • What time do you wake up?
  • What foods do you eat?
  • What beverages are you consuming?
  • What are you consuming mentally — think TV shows, books, podcasts, music 
  • How much sleep are you getting at night?
  • How often do you rest during the day?
  • Who are you hanging with and how are you cultivating relationships?
  • How often are you moving your body?
  • How often are you sitting in stillness?
  • How often are you connecting with nature?
  • What types of skills and knowledge are you obtaining?
  • What types of conversations are you entertaining? 

step into your dopeness

it’s going to take you stepping out of your old shell + stepping into the dopeness of who you are now.

here are four things you can do today to embrace your dopeness:

let the old you go.

some things are gonna have to be forgotten + given up and that’s okay.

you aren’t obligated to remain the same.

release it, let it go, step into your newness, + allow yourself to transform!

you can be different, sis.

oh yea — fuck their opinions, too.

don’t you dare let the opinions of others stop you from doing anything!

it doesn’t matter what others think or say.

at the end of the day, they didn’t receive the vision — you did!

you weren’t put on this earth to impress anyone.

you are here to do what you do.

you’re here to get everything that’s meant for you.

know that you are capable of doing dope shit.

you were created for this.

keep what needs to be kept + release what needs to be let go.

watch yourself transform into the person that you most desire to become.

ditch the excuses

excuses won’t give you the lifestyle that you want, rather they prevent you from moving forward living the lifestyle you want to live.

ditch them + walk in purpose, on purpose.

to do this week:

over the course of this week, think about everything that you’re doing — actions, behaviors, feelings, alladet! know thyself inside + out.

grab your journal.

challenge yourself to take inventory on all of the things you are currently doing on a daily basis.

from the time that you wake up to the time that you lay down, write down all of the actions that you are taking + choices that you are making.

then, reflect on the following:

  • Is this the person I really want to be (do I really want to be a person who does this shit)?
  • Am I at peace with who this person is and what this person does on a daily basis?
  • Do I love what I am doing?
  • Are the actions I am taking today support and sustain the lifestyle that I most desire? 

if any of the answers are no — switch it up!

lastly, figure out what you can do differently and do that shit

remember, you are not obligated to remain the same.

change who you are today by recognizing you are the author of your story — change starts now!

i appreciate you taking the time to read and listen!

thank you so much for being here + most importantly: thank you for being you.

i’ll see you on the next episode. 👋🏾

be you, be dope!
