Focus on FREEDOM by making sure you give yourself ME TIME each day
and then the KNOWING you are enough comes easily

So important to take, what I am calling the golden hour each day, time that is just for you.
Today my body must’ve had a knowing. 🙂
I spent a large part of the weekend reading the 5 am Club Book by Robin Sharma
This book had been recommended to me to read as part of my training in my digital marketing platform.
When it was first mentioned I checked my local library and discovered it was in another library so I reserved it.
I collected the book a week later and then it sat on the coffee table, unopened. I flicked through it and thought no! When I first heard Eric talk about the first 20 minutes being to exercise where you really raise a sweat! No, this is not for me at that point I was having some challenges again with my back so, doing vigorous activity besides walking and my back exercises was not on.
Then in our Up Level training class last week I heard Eric talk about this again and a light bulb went on. Something he said about his morning routine sank in this time. It made me go and pull the book out of our library bag. Yes I had put the book away to go back to the library, unread.
I started reading the book on Friday.
I got hooked……….
I spent a large part of the weekend lying out in the sun reading and adding to my notes app.
So much resonated for me
The importance of being different and how this will help you impact the world.
Yes, a passion of mine…
My mother’s words came back to me:
Anything to be different….
I used to love being different and somewhere I stepped away from that in a way that, has not served me and I kept looking outside for the answers.
The answers, of course, are within 🙂
Distraction takes us right away from our brilliance, our magic
I have some journaling to do on that! I caught myself in my distraction/procrastination mode in writing this article

What Got Me Hooked
The fact that two of the four central characters in the book I related to: an entrepreneur and an artist
and then
This morning I naturally woke about 4.30am and I was about to roll over as I was planning to join the 5AM Club tomorrow after I finished reading the book.
I bounded out of bed. NO, I didn’t do 20 minutes of sweat raising activity. I did qigong and my back exercises and then I took me time, I journaled, meditated and read. This is the 20/20/20 formula.
Your resting heart delights as each day you make time exclusively, just for you Click To TweetYes, I’ve taken me time today and will do that each morning as part of what I’m calling my golden hour as well as at other times during the day.
Rest and regenerate….
I love this quote from the book:
” I work less,have more fun and yet I get way more done”
I have a knowing that this will really help me on my journey to freedom.
I do know I’m enough and if I’d sit more in stillness listen to and follow the whispers of my heart the true freedom I vision for myself will manifest.
What an amazing way to start the week.

I can feel the shift. I know as I did this online reading today I felt amazing, very focussed and full of energy and definitely knowing I was enough
I felt a shift in my energy and I’m also ready to become the hero of my own life.
I will be sharing this journey on my Facebook page, on Instagram, and in my new group; YOU ARE LOVE: Creativity, Self-Love, and Abundance for Wild Souls

The Weekly Reading for Self-love and Abundance for Wild Souls will be my facebook page on Sunday/Monday and will be sharing in the relaunch of my Ezine that will include the reading for the week.
Love this Suzie,
I’m far from being a morning person, but I know when I am up early and implement an early morning self care routine, I’m more grounded, clear, and productive with less fog and stress.
That is amazing Laura that we are more grounded when we do more self-care. Slowly I am becoming more productive too xxoo
I love this article Suzie. Like you I’m no morning vigorous exercise person but I do have a routine where I do gentle bouncing on our rebounder as the very first part of my day…just to wake up the cells of my body in a kind way! This book sounds like a great read and I think it’s wonderful that you don’t feel the need to follow the ideas religiously, but to take the essence of them and make them work for you!
Thank You Elle, I have a vibration machine and going to use this too, sometimes I walk for 20 mins or do qigong. I haven’t used a rebounder for ages but a great way. Yes really loved the book, just bought it yesterday along with his book The Leader who had no title xxoo
I like the idea of a morning practice to set the tone for the day. I will put that book on my “to-read” list. Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom!
My Pleasure Kris, yes I am only just at day 4 so keep watching. xx
Suzie,
I would have the same reaction as you did at first just reading about getting up at 5AM and exercising first thin. That does not even sound doable to me. I am not a morning person. However, I do like the sound of working less, having more fun, and getting more done. So, I’m intrigued. I’ll be curious to see how it wworks out for you.
Thanks Debbie- yes will maybe do an update each 22 days- he says it’s hard for the first 22 days, messy in the middle and beautiful at the end yes to working less, having more fun, and getting more done
