More than halfway there guys just a reminder that you should be very proud of yourselves for lasting this long and I’m sure many of us have seen great changes in our lives in such a small amount of time I know I have but even if you haven’t don’t worry that’s why it’s important to pray and have faith just keep putting in the work and you’ll see results . “It doesn’t matter how slow you go as long as you don’t stop”

So we’re just over two weeks into Monk Mode, and something wild happened. I got the confidence to ask out my dream girl, and guess what? She said YES! 🙌🏻 I’ve had my eye on her for a while but always hesitated because of self-doubt. But being consistent with Monk Mode, hitting my goals, and staying disciplined has really boosted my confidence in a way I didn’t expect. I realized, if I can commit to this challenge, why not commit to leveling up in other areas too? So I just went for it, and now we’re going out this Saturday. I can honestly say, this challenge isn’t just about routines or habits. It’s changing how I see myself and what I’m capable of. Anyone else feel the same way?

1 week of monk mode and it been a lot of a challenge. Overcoming your weak version of yourself and learning to sacrifice what you need in able to improve . I’m in a new chapter in my life and it’s helping me to find more about myself . Getting closer to God has been my biggest movement to feel proud . And overcoming lust and woman that just want me to smash. It’s hard because the flesh wants to do it, but I know that’s not going to lead to anything good .

Rise and shine illuminated Minds 🧘🏾‍♂️ 🔋 (I had two wisdom teeth pulled this past Wednesday and i have been undergoing and am healing and recovering) Everyday is my day 1 - last night, I reflected on my week and journey so far, - I set up week yesterday evening, - I Was up at 4a, - made my bed, - Put on the whole armor of God in prayer - Read my affirmations and read my goals. - Shoes on out for warm up with speed walk + jogging + shadow boxing + push-ups + jump squats. - Breakfast Oatmeal for with almond butter and honey. - 3ggs/1 crossant, 2yogurt, 1 applesauce for lunch. - Took few minutes to share this with all group. I will get ready and out the door to be at work on Time 6:55a - I will be reading 15 pages, then write in journal on my commute to work on Metro. —>Few things I’ve noticed <— - My mind is clear and alert, I’m more conscious and intentional with my actions and thoughts. - Reading and reviewing my goals each morning plus prayers and meditation has been very beneficial in more ways than I can describe, the inner shift is noticeable by others around me, and I have a sense of being grounded in the present more. - I do not feel rushed or pressured, neither am I tardy, the more I move my body through daily matinal warmups/jog/calisthenics/shadow boxing, the more I am physically awake, in the zone, at I am at ideal an pace throughout my day. Keep it up sisters, and brothers, make it a lifestyle and adjust when you need to adjust but keep going forward . Don’t overthink it, just do it.

I recently started a new job like 2 weeks before the beginning of monk mode. Mind you this after a prolonged period of not working so I was very eager to get back in the fold and be the best I could be. Upon meeting my direct manager he told me I would be a responsible for the technical management of the team and responsible for research. Long story short he was really impressed in the 3 weeks I’ve been working there and has added me to leadership meetings and interview panels I completed my first interview today and it was kind of surreal because I was interviewing the team member who had trained me! I felt under qualified but the said my background was really impressive and my input is valued. So I now am responsible for asking the technical questions whenever there a hiring a technical candidate and recommend trainings to my team based on what I think would help them perform better. I honestly thought I was just another worker bee now I’m suddenly Important not complaining at all just kind of shocked imposter syndrome is setting in 😅
