Holy Moly it\u2019s November! These last few months have flown by like nobody\u2019s business!<\/h3>\n

Not sure about you all, but for us, November is insane!!!<\/p>\n

We have 3 families, all of whom we celebrate Thanksgiving in it\u2019s entirety.<\/p>\n

I know that seems like a really weird thing to say, but for us there is no half-assed Thanksgiving with families 1, 2 and 3.<\/p>\n

There is full blown Thanksgiving \u00a0with families 1, 2 & 3. \u00a0Which means we pretty much have only 1 weekend in November where we\u2019re not being stuffed full of Thanksgiving dinner, watching football and playing in the snow.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s AWESOME!!!<\/p>\n

And it also means crazy weekends and crazy weeks!<\/p>\n

Dylan and I are absolutely committed to making it into the top 150 on the Empower Network leader board before we go to the Release your Inner Badass Event in January.<\/h3>\n

That means we are, pardon the expression, balls to the wall in our business. We get up and get after it before the kids wake up to get ready for school. \u00a0When Little Man (our 2 year old nephew, whom I babysit during the day) is napping or playing by himself, I\u2019m after it. As soon as Dylan get\u2019s home from his day job, we\u2019re after it.<\/p>\n

This is on top of getting the girls ready for school in the morning. Doing homework, dinner, and bedtime routines and of course with the holiday season upon us\u2026they\u2019re out of school quite a bit which means constant insanity and chaos in the house .<\/p>\n

And then we\u2019re right back on it as soon as the kids are tucked in for the night.<\/p>\n

We refuse anything but success and achieving our goals.<\/p>\n

However, there must be balance. We have to decompress.<\/h3>\n

You see, the best part about what we do here at Empower Network<\/a>, is that it is not only financially rewarding, but it\u2019s just damn FUN!!!<\/p>\n

It is damn fun and rewarding to share what you do and what you have with thousands and thousands of people and watch them get just as excited about their success as you are about your own.<\/p>\n

But, like I said, there must be balance, and amidst all of the massive action, don\u2019t forget about yourself.<\/p>\n

Whether that means you spend a couple of hours, reading a good book, doing a craft project you\u2019ve been wanting to do and most importantly, don\u2019t forget to be nice to yourself and get some fresh air and exercise<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Personally, I have to be careful with the books and crafts or I get sucked in for hours and hours. I set a timer and when it goes off, I have to be really disciplined and make myself put it down or clean it up.<\/p>\n

Give yourself 20 \u2013 60 minutes each day to focus on doing something nice for your body and your mind.<\/p>\n

You know that feeling of not having enough time to exercise? It feels awful! But just remember, you<\/em> are in control of how you spend your time and it\u2019s not going to do you any good if you spend hours spinning your wheels lamenting your current physical and mental state.<\/p>\n

We have an assignment for you. This is an easy one!<\/p>\n

Check out how Richard Branson, Anthony Robbins and any other of the greats. The people who really make their mark, spend their mornings. \u00a0You will find that, with very few exceptions, they spend at least one hour each day on themselves.<\/p>\n

My favorite way to decompress and get my head on straight for the day, is a minimum of 20 minutes of yoga.<\/p>\n
