Elybeth’s ADVICE –

This life is short. And although moments can feel so long, nothing lasts forever. So, live every season, give yourself grace and know that what life throws at you can be hard, you are fully capable of doing hard things and reaching whatever it is that you want. It starts with building those small habits, staying consistent with them. Once you nail that down, you can start building on top of that, whether it’s podcasts or people surrounding yourself that really motivate you. There will be challenges along the way. So just keep pushing forward to be yourself, keep that 1% better mantra with you each day, and you can work to reach what you want to reach.

Key Takeaways

• The power of words and affirmations
• Keep being yourself
• Get better 1% every day
• Start with small habits and surround yourself with motivation, whether in people resources.
