In this BIG beautiful world we live in it can sometimes feel chaotic, demanding and a bit overwhelming, it's common to become overwhelmed by the many stresses of everyday life. From our work loads, different deadlines and our family responsibilities to personal challenges and social pressures from friends and family. Stress will always take a toll on our mental and physical health. This is why it is so important to create avenues of positivity that will help each of us navigate the challenges we experience that can cause us to get that crazy overwhelming feeling. Amy and I help each other from time to time and we have to step in and remind each other to slow down and take a breath.

In this week's article we discuss with you why staying positive matters, we are including easy to do exercises and fun challenges that will challenge you which will show you how doing small, active steps can help you feel better. After all, staying proactive is so much better than just being reactive.

Understanding Everyday Stress

Let's start this week by understanding everyday stress and the effects it has on us.
It is actually a normal part of our everyday lives, experienced by everyone at different levels and times. It can vary from a variety of different sources, including work pressures, financial concerns, relationships, and even the crazy expectations we place on ourselves. When stress becomes a chronic thing in our lives, it will lead to feelings of anxiety, fatigue, and being overwhelmed. Understanding the origins of your stress is the first step in addressing it effectively.

Recognizing what stress does to you is important, it causes you to have headaches, muscle tension, irritability, and even difficulty sleeping. Which any and all these will help you identify when you need to take action. Ignoring these signs will lead to burnout and impact your overall quality of life. It then becomes essential to actively cultivate positivity as a counterbalance to your stresses.

We live in an incredible fast paced world, where our lives are always on the go in so many different areas. Sometimes our busy lives will drown out our opportunities to chase after our goals and passions that we have set for ourselves. It's important to stop, breathe, and take a moment to reground ourselves and prioritize our actions. We are here to let you know that it is ok to work on your dreams and your passions. We don't suggest you let your daily responsibilities go ignored but to make sure that you are doing what you need to take care of you and your mental health. 

The latest video from the Lift Team, "Design Your Life: More Than Just a Plan!" offers an incredible perspective on how to align your dreams with your actions. With this article we are discussing the key concepts from our video, providing exercises and challenges to help you unlock your true potential, and create a life filled with significance. You can watch the video here.

Design Your Life” means seeing life as more than just made up plans—it’s about your journey. It’s about making smart decisions, living life with purpose, living with meaning, and enjoying the moments you create for yourself. Here are the main ideas:

  1. Your Life is Creative, Not Just a Plan
    Understand that your life isn’t fixed—it’s something you shape through your decisions. Apply actions towards what’s important to you.

  2. Make Smart Choices with Purpose
    Every one of your choices matters. When you make a decision on purpose, your path will feel a bit more real and true to you.

  3. Discover What Matters to You
    Figure out what’s important to you and why you do what you do. That helps your life feel full and satisfying and we all strive for the feeling of accomplishment in our journey.

  4. Enjoy the Ride
    Don’t just focus on a final goal. Enjoy each step of the journey, celebrate your wins, learn from your mistakes, and keep growing.

  • Dream Big, Act Bigger
    Don’t just imagine a better future—take bold steps to make it happen. Create a plan and start working on it.

  • Make It Meaningful
    Your actions will reflect what matters the most to you. The choices you make should connect to your personal values and help build a story that other people will remember.

  • Live with Purpose
    Pay attention and focus on your daily actions. Your small, mindful steps will help you grow toward a life that will feel meaningful.

Here are a few practical strategies to help you design your life with purpose.

1. Create A Vision Board: Take a bit of time and Visualize your Dreams and create a Vision Board. Add images, meaningful quotes, and symbols that represent your goals and dreams.

2. Set SMART Goals: Be Specific. Set Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time effective goals that align with your vision.

3. Daily Reflection: Spend a few minutes each day reflecting on your actions. Ask yourself if they align with your purpose and long term and short term goals.

4. Gratitude Journaling: Once again I am promoting journaling. Start a gratitude journal to recognize and celebrate small wins and positive experiences.

Lets take what we are learning and do a few exercises to Transform Your Dreams into Actions.


1. Life Inventory Exercises
- List the areas of your life (career, relationships, health, etc.) and rate your satisfaction in each on a scale of 1-10. Be honest with yourself with this.
- Identify one or more areas where you want to make changes and think about some actionable steps to improve it.

2. Legacy Letter:
- Write a letter to your future self reflecting on what kind of legacy you wish to leave behind. Include the values, experiences, and contributions you want to be remembered for.

This letter will amaze you when you revisit it later in your journey. In fact when you reread your journal you will be amazed how different your life has changed. The trick is to be disciplined to keep doing it consistently.

3. 20-Minute Action Plan:
- Dedicate at least 20 minutes to brainstorm a list of actions you can take in the next week that align with your personal goals not someone else’s. Choose at least one to implement immediately.

The awesome part about being a LIFT Warrior is you have partnered with a Marine and I strive on providing content with challenges that will encourage growth and breakthrough.

To further encourage your growth and commitment to living intentionally, consider taking on the following challenges:

1. 30-Day Intentional Living Challenge:
- For 30 days, commit to one intentional action each day that aligns with your personal goals. Document your journey, (yes, once again, write a journal), and reflect on how it impacts your life. I personally promote adding some type of positive influence in your life every day.

2. Impact Project:
- Identify a cause or issue you are passionate about. Create a project that contributes to this cause, whether through volunteering, raising awareness somehow, or fundraising to help the organization reach a goal.

3. Digital Detox:
- Take a week-long break from social media and other digital distractions, well, except for reading our articles, watching our videos, and applying action to our exercises and challenges. lol  Use this time to reconnect with yourself and your goals, and you will start to experience the deeper aspects of life that matter the most to you.
