Motivation Monday .01

Shirt: Hush La Boutique, Omaha | Jeans: Frame Distressed Jeans

Bag: sold out, similar new version here

Shoes: Tory Burch ‘Miller’ Flip Flop | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban 58Mm Aviator Sunglasses

Every Sunday, I sit down with my planner and prep for the week ahead. My planner has two sections for prepping: a thought-provoking page and a goals list. There’s an in-depth question that always gives me major Monday motivation for the work week! As I was sipping on a mocha yesterday at Milady Coffee House (the cutest new place in Fremont, NE), I thought, “why am I not sharing this?!”

Everyone needs a little motivation, right?

(ignore my half-drank cafe mocha – but see how it still held the design?! Also the decor & FLOORS here – swoon)

This Week’s Motivation Monday Question:

What are some habits you have that help you to be more successful? What are some habits you see in others that you’d like to implement in your own life?

“Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.” – Jim Rohn

First: Define success. To me, success is being financially stable, organized and downright HAPPY with how my life is going. Being successful also means there is room for growth. So, what habits do I have that help me be more successful?

  1. Organizing. For starters, my planner. It helps me make lists and, friends, I am list-obsessed. I feel fulfilled when I can check something off. I start my day with organization: making my bed and checking emails on my phone.
  2. Planning ahead. What are some things you can plan ahead for this week? Wednesday is my golden birthday (wooo 24!), and I’m planning ahead for a little BBQ with my girlfriends. I also like to plan ahead my blog posts and my workouts (if possible). I was really good at this when I was going to Barre Code, but with my recent move to Fremont…I need to figure this one out!
  3. Spending time cleaning. This one might make you LOL a bit, but I am seriously more successful if my life is clean. Otherwise, I’m just thinking about how I need to clean. I feel a lot more put-together if my car is vacuumed, my clothes are put away, and my laundry is done by 8PM on Sunday evening.

What habits can I implement?

  1. Scheduling my Instagram and blog posts 2 weeks in advance. I’ve heard this is key for a lot of larger bloggers & I like the idea. I also like showing what’s happening now though and being timely, so it’s a balance I need to figure out!
  2. Waking up earlier. Rising early and getting more done is something I’ve noticed in top achievers. Using goal-setting as adrenaline.
  3. Our CEO once said a quote about using the weekends to get ahead of your competition and I loved it. Working when no one else is!
  4. Accepting failure. Sometimes I’m afraid to post something or go back and forth with my friends for their opinions. It’s important to understand that failure is okay and not everything is going to be something someone loves, but if it’s something I love, it’s fine if it doesn’t work.

What are you doing to be successful this week? I love seeing other #girlbosses and how they take charge of their lives.

Happy Monday!

24 Things I’ve Learned in 24 Years

Follow along @mpronspies

  • Two months ago, I tested positive for COVID-19 and during that quarantine period I did a whooooleeee lot of binge-watching. Whether you’re in my situation or you’re just quarantining before you see family for the holidays, I put together an important guide on the blog: Everything I watched in quarantine, ranked from worst-best. #quarantinewatchlist #whattowatch #nebraskablogger
  • 200!! Happy to kick off 2021 with a big @onepeloton milestone! I’ve been loving the #bikethatgoesnowhere for almost 2 years and finally hit this goal. Big thanks to @robinnyc for the back-to-back rides today! I’ve never stuck with a fitness program this long and could go on and on about Peloton. If you’re on the fence, GO FOR IT! I’m sharing my favorite rides and recommendations after completing 200 on the blog today. TOGETHER WE GO FAR! #onepeloton #peloton #pelotonbike #pelotonnebraska #nebraskablogger #pelotoncycle #pelotoncommunity #sweatwithswagger #homegym #togetherwegofar #cycling
  • If you watched my stories, you may have seen my GIANT #monstera! I decided to propagate it on Monday after finding this perfect rattan-looking ceramic planter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is my first year with any houseplants that aren’t succulents so I googled a ton of blog posts about how to propagate. Today (after waiting 3 days) I swapped the water out for new and placed the cutting next to the current plant on a little table. I’m hoping this works and it grows roots/thrives in a few weeks. Please send me ALLLL your houseplant tips! So far I only do these
  • Would rather have been in the snow in Jackson Hole than getting 10+ inches in Nebraska❄️ Last January we were skiing, drinking wine and venturing around my favorite place. Take me back! Where’s your favorite winter trip? #visitjacksonhole #jacksonhole #wintertrip #snowday #nebraskablogger #letitsnow #winterfashion #winterstyle #sorelboots #patagonia #milliondollarcowboybar #skijacksonhole
  • Each year I set a reading goal, and most years it increases. In 2020, I wanted to read 32 books; however, 2020 was a bit of a mess. Although I spent more time at home than ever before, I spent less time reading. I did get the chance to finish 26 novels, and I can’t wait to share them with you on my blog today! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know it’s past the end of the year, but I wanted to share my “best books of 2020” post still, as I know many of you made a reading goal for this year
  • If you’ve followed me since the holidays, I’ve been testing the @peterthomasrothofficial Water Drench Hyaluronic Glow Serum from @sephora, and I’m amazed with how this product literally drenches your skin with intense moisture. In the winter (especially this weather), I always struggle with certain parts of my face being more dry than others, and if I had any dry spots, applying this at night took them away by morning.  I use one other serum at night, and this was a great one to alternate this season (I also love PTR’s masks). It’s clinically shown to lock in hydration for up
