Recently, I’ve been working to change my life for the better. This probably seems like such a broad goal, but I promise, it’s not. I wanted to be more intentional in my life. I wanted to do things on a day to day basis with more meaning. I wanted to spend less time scrolling mindlessly on my phone.

Have you ever practiced affirmations? They’re a tool used to shift your mindset and improve the way you think about yourself and the world around you. For me, I’ve found that they’ve had profound effects on my business over the course of time. I’ve honestly been surprised by this revelation because when I started practicing affirmations I didn’t think I’d see any tangible results.

I am starting a new series on the blog. As you can probably tell from the title above, it’s called Diary of a Human Being. This is going to be an off-the-cuff series where I go all-in on a topic that I feel like discussing. There won’t be an agenda. There won’t be an outline. There won’t even be research (unless I feel like diving into research.) The idea is that I will discuss from my heart and share what’s on my mind. There won’t be any goal to the posts themselves except self-expression.

Creating my oracle deck was the first time I ever interacted with a force other than my own. Something grand that was compelling me to create art. I didn't know why I was doing it, but I knew I had to.

For those of you that don't know, I'm a podcast fiend. I'm constantly listening to them to gather ideas for my business, life and everything in between. Fun fact, before I became a full-time designer I would spend my mornings commuting to my 9-5 job while listening to entrepreneurial podcasts and I still listen to entrepreneurial podcasts to this day.

In the following blog post I’m going to outline each and every step I take in my morning routine, how I do these steps, and explain why they are a part of my routine.

Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Entrepreneurship is hard. It’s not for everyone. It really isn’t for the faint of heart. For those of us that have chosen to be entrepreneurs, incorporating mindfulness practices into our daily lives can make the path much easier.
