Think like a millionaire, hustle like you're broke.

You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way. Today's vlog is about checking in on your wins and losses from the first quarter. Three months of the year has already passed. The next three will come and go the same. Will you be half way through the year three months from now in the same place you are today? If you don't have a plan it's likely to come true.

"It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan." - Eleanor Roosevelt

This April, I want you to think like a millionaire and hustle like your broke. Check in with what you wanted most the first three months of the year. For some, their goals were financial gain, a new job, health goals for new stamina, weight loss or more energy.

At the end of Q1, if you gave yourself a business report, how did your Q1 shake out? What are the things and opportunities ahead? Make a list of what you want to start, stop, and continue into the second quarter. Use this method to leave behind bad habits, continue the good ones and replace the bad with new thinking! Get out your planner and map out the next three months. I'm sharing tips on how to in the video above!

Life is not happening to you, it's happening for you. Have a definitive plan and a burning desire for your life.

I'm in your corner!

Wake Up!

This is a time of life that you must learn to let go. As we shift from one season to the next I want to encourage you to not bring forward the habits that don’t serve you. Just like the animals coming out of hibernation, it’s time to crawl out of your cave, freshen up your routine and wake up your life!

My top five ways to wake up for spring:

1. 10 day detox

If you didn’t start the 10 day detox with me on Monday, fear not. You can start this any Monday. If you place an order for the Herbal Cleansing System by this Thursday, you will get it in time to start it April 1. Simply watch the video, read the blog and prepare on Sunday for your success.

2. Get active outdoors

I made a promise to take Maverick for walks outside at least three times a week. I squeeze these in on lunch breaks or after work since it's still pretty dark out in the early morning. Tray cleaned the yard all day Saturday, giving the shrubs a fresh cut, blowing the weeds and ripping things out that needed to go. It looks so great to see space in the front yard! Get your vitamin D flowing by spending time outdoors. It will make your heart and head feel so much better. Bask in the light of love and be the sunshine to people around you.

3. Reconnect with your friends

Over the winter, people tend to reschedule plans, or shift dates due to weather. A lot of times you don’t get to see people you love with holidays and winter doldrums. Make a date, or double date, with friends that you love. Go to a restaurant, sit on a patio, go for a walk, just make time to reconnect. Your heart will thrive on building community!

4. Get organized

Spring cleaning is a thing for a reason. The truth is, our stuff can weigh us down. There is an old book called Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat. And, it does! When you are feeling overwhelmed, all you have to do is clean out your closet, your car or make your bed and you will feel like a new person. Getting your closet and home office organized sets you up for success. My rule is to go through every season of clothes after the season. I look at each piece and honestly answer the question, "did I wear this at all and will I wear this next year?" If the answer is no or "sort of", then it goes into the donation pile. You must make room in your life for newness. New clothes, spring shoes and a fresh perspective. Best of all, reducing clutter, reduces anxiety and stress.

5. Give to those that need it

When you're in your closet, you might as well make the most of it. There are so many people that have far less than we do and would love to wear that shirt you hate (but hold on to for some emotional reason). Every season I give a large portion of my wardrobe to donation centers. Using the tips from above, I downsize my clothes for the upcoming season a year in advance. Go though your winter clothes, shoes, coats, hats, purses and workout clothes. Make donation piles of the items that are no's and maybe's. You don't need the maybe's—trust me! Get rid of old, make room for new, and make someone else happier along the way.

It's time to wake up.

Wake up your body.

Wake up your activities.

Wake up your friendships.

Wake up your house.

Wake up your giving.

Do these five things this week and I promise your happiness will increase.

10 Day Detox

Every 90 days I do a liver detox for 10 days. It's always my favorite thing to do after a trip, like spring break. This past week we had spring break, the Big 12 Tourney, a horse race, St. Patrick's Day and nice weather...which means there's a high chance you and I both ate and drank an abnormal amount of food (and fire ball!). Ok, maybe just me on the fire ball.

Just like the clocks that sprang forward—it's time to reset. Today I'm sharing how I do a 10 day detox every three months. You can play this video when you're in the car to listen, while you're on a walk or as you make your grocery list for the week.

This is my favorite way to detox my body every three months. Think: lose weight, more energy, sharper brain, clearer skin, flatter belly and the list goes on.

Our livers produce more than 500 different functions for our bodies. And, most often we are hard on them without taking a much-needed break. Sugar, alcohol, red meat, dairy, all take a toll on the liver and the rest of our bodies. Doing a 10 day liver cleanse will boost your energy, make you feel better and drop water weight while you flush the fat.

What's to lose you think? Your bad habits! Breaking up with your routine is mentally tough. You need to prepare in advance to give up things in your diet that you are used to for 10 days. At the end of the 10 days, you will feel so great that you might even apply this to your every day health routine!

DO THIS

Start every morning with hot lemon water

Hot lemon water will increase your metabolism, build your immune system, acts as a detoxifier, has anti-inflammatory properties and many other benefits.

A.M. fasting cardio

During the cleanse, I recommend you to log 45 minutes of slow burning, fasting cardio. (Think: walk outside, elliptical, stair master, or walking on an incline treadmill.) By getting in a slow burn first thing in the morning when you wake up, this will burn fat and boost metabolism.

Drink a gallon of water a day

Hydration is key to the cleanse as you will flush out the toxins, fat and keep away hunger pangs. I opt for alkaline water, because it hydrates your cells faster, and helps boost your immune system. When we are hard on our bodies with stress, poor diet or environmental toxins, these all build up in your body. One gallon of alkaline water a day will add minerals, magnesium and calcium...and tastes so clean and fresh! Tip: I get these delivered from Sprouts on instacart!

Fiber every morning

More than 12 years ago I started taking advocare products. I have a few faves that I will share with you, yet the Herbal Cleansing System is in my top five favorite products. You can purchase it from my site and get 20% off with code 12073954.

This is how it works: add the non-flavored fiber every morning to your protein shake of choice (I use chocolate BodyLean). Adding fiber to your morning routine helps you feel full, improves digestion, and helps cleanse you from the inside out. This is not a disruptive cleanse by any means. The fiber will help you get rid of unwanted waste and toxins. There is also a "p.m." pill included in the Cleansing System, which you take every evening before bed. This again helps with weight management and helps you absorb the nutrients you are getting from the new and improved eating plan you're on.

Probiotic for restoration

Taking a probiotic helps support your intestines and good digestion. There is a probiotic package that's included in the Herbal Cleansing System, so that will have you covered! You'll take this in the morning with your protein + fiber shake.

DON'T DO THIS

No Alcohol

Give your body a break. This one is often the most difficult for people to survive 10 days without alcohol. You can do it and your body needs it. I share some tips for how I get through the weekends without alcohol in my video above!

No Red meat

Red and processed meats are linked to liver damager. There are reports that link red meat to increasing risk of non-alcoholic liver disease. I eat red meat in my diet about once a week, yet use this time to give your body and liver a break!

No Dairy

Dairy is different for everyone. Some bodies can tolerate it and others cannot. This is great to remove during the 10 days to clear up your skin, experience weight loss, and maybe even get rid of the dark circles under your eyes!

No Carbohydrates

The only starch/carb allowed on this 10 day detox is sweet potatoes. If you eat them, aim to add them to eggs in the morning or with lunch. A carb-free dinner will help your body to burn fuel and fat over night.

No Corn, black beans or peanut butter

I follow Whole 30 for 90 percent of my health routine. Taking out these favorites was tough, but I soon realized how much they were making me bloat. The corn and black beans are starchy vegetables and the peanut butter is full of saturated fat. Eliminate these for the next 10 days and replace them with leafy greens.

I have more videos and tips coming as you go through the next 10 days. I'll be sharing how I meal prep, healthy snack options and more. Send me a message on Instagram or Facebook and tell me how it's going for you when you start!

This is only 10 days of your life. You've got this. And, you will feel and look fabulous, too!

Save this to your phone for easy reference during the next 10 days!
