I'm so glad that you're here . You are listening to . What the fuck did she just say with your host ? That's me , sandra Priestly . I'm all about living our best life and finding our zone of brilliance and then removing the resistance so that we can go all in .
I say random , crazy shit , which is why I called this podcast the way that I did , and I really hate long drawn out intros . So let's fucking go . Three years ago I had committed to walking and a friend of mine and I actually we both committed to walking every single day .
It was good for my menopausal body , I mean , it's the best thing to lower cortisol and it's just good to get some fresh air and things .
I have never really loved walking Like it's not something that I just go do for fun , and so there's a trick that I have that makes it tolerable until such time as I get into the habit of just doing it and then it just becomes something that I do and I don't even think about I habit stack . So I grab my earphones and I put them on .
I either find a podcast that I like to do or I listen to a walking meditation that I've recorded . It might be that I take a training along on the walk . Sometimes I'll talk on Voxer to my clients . I might record a training in Telegram for the women that are in the work , and then sometimes I do subconscious reprogramming . I do this out loud .
It is like voice journaling . What I love about this is that I then feel like I'm getting a few things checked off of my to-do list every single day , because this year , in 2025 , I'm getting a few things checked off of my to-do list every single day , because this year , in 2025 , I'm prioritizing three things mindset , energy and action .
Right , and so the mindset piece is this journaling , whether it's voice journaling or whether it's like physically with a pen , I'm also doing affirmations , so it's really kind of fun to walk and say affirmations at the same time , in the same rhythm of your walk .
What happens , I believe , is that it starts to reprogram your mind a little faster , your subconscious brain a little faster . It just gets into this rhythm that I feel I start to interpret as truth , and that's really what affirmations are for me .
I'm going to do a couple of podcasts coming up on affirmations as well , because I used to hate affirmations and now I'm obsessed with them and I've got a friend who used to love them and now is sort of shifting what she thinks of them . So it's , they're going to be really good podcasts , so you're going to have to tune in .
But I've got this mindset , energy and action already on the go my mindset pieces , affirmations and journaling so I can do both of those things while I'm walking . Also , my walk is part of my energy piece . My other energy piece that I'm doing right now is visualization meditation . Hey , guess what ? I can also do those two things on my walk as well .
So it is like , literally , I'm doing four things for me right off the hop in the morning . Me right off the hop in the morning . And how you set your morning up is a huge , huge factor in how your day continues . And then my action piece is directly related to my goals .
I mean , all of these things are directly related to the goal that I've set for myself in the work .
But what I love is that I literally can set aside an hour and I can do all of these things in an hour , plus all four of these things prioritize myself , get it all done and together , what happens when you habit stack , if you can do something that you don't like , like walking or something that you avoid to do , and then connect it with something that you
actually really love to do , like listen to podcasts , doing a visualization , doing my voice , journaling , doing affirmations if you can , or even just chatting with a friend . If you can combine what you don't like to do with something you love to do , you end up liking them both .
When I used to go and sit on my perch , I didn't love to walk , but I did love to go and sit on my rock , look at the water and just feel that zen , that calm , that peace . So it was like a means . To the end , I habit stacked them . I went for a walk to get me to the place where I wanted to go .
I wrote a post earlier and one of the women that had commented said what she does is she walks on the treadmill while she watches Netflix . Good example . The majority of people that I talk to are joking about how they use their treadmill for a clothes hanger , and we do not want to do that .
I think moving your body every single day is important , but if you're not prioritizing it , have it , stack it . You've got to try it . Like I'm telling you . It is a game changer . It's not revolutionary but it fucking works . Good luck , and if you want to join us in the work , like seriously , you've got to join us in the work . It's so fucking good .
It'll change your life . Thank you so much for listening . I hope you've had some laughs , maybe some ideas , and that you've been inspired to take some type of action toward the life you've always dreamed of . If you feel so called , I would love it if you would share with your besties and leave a review down below .
I look forward to bringing you along on this journey and I will see you in the next episode .
