I couldn't out run COVID this year my friends. But it's okay, I'm here to share my experience with you. All of your curious questions will be answered:How did I catch the COVID?What were my symptoms?Did I spread it?What is my opinion on COVID now?I originally believed that this virus couldn't touch me. I'm a young, healthy 25 year old. I'm invincible! Little did I realize that even by taking care of myself, I can still catch this virus and it can still kick my butt.What I've come to learn from this experience is that my actions are not just about me. Being sick is inconvenient, yes. But what about other people who may not be able to fight this off? What about all of the grandmas out there?? #savethegrandmasAs we approach the holiday season of gatherings, potlucks, and many hugs what I hope for you to gain from this episode is an attitude of not only taking care of yourself, but be mindful of those around you too.Stay safe & healthy my friends!

Do you ever feel that you are surrounded by chaos? That there is not enough time in the day for you? That days are morphing into one? Do you want to create structure in your life to develop yourself but not sure where to start?One of the best things I did for myself was to dedicate time to my self development every day by developing a routine. A self development routine creates structure by narrowing in on who we want to become and focuses on moving the needle forward on the goals we set for ourselves and our lives.Inspired by my own lack of routine lately, I wanted to share the benefits of creating a routine to help get myself back on track. I share the 7 activities I live by in my daily routine,- Movement- Affirmations / Mantras- Journaling- Visualisation- Reading- Meditation- GratitudeBy even selecting just a few of these activities, you'll begin to notice yourself transform. I share more tips on how to get started on creating a routine for yourself because there truly is nothing better you can do for yourself than to spend time with yourself in order to grow.The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)by Hal ElrodFollow me on instagram, @jacklynqSign up for the Monday Motivation newsletter, www.jacklynq.comIf you felt inspired by the episode, please share with one of your friends or leave a rating & review :)

Change is inevitable. So how do you handle it?Are you afraid of change? Do you run from it? Do you settle in order to avoid the uncomfortable feelings of change?Now more than ever we are faced with change but what if you could control the change going on in your life? How would you feel if you could navigate change for your benefit? Well you can.Change can come to us in many different ways. It can be unexpected it, we can see it coming, or we can create it for ourselves. No matter the form it enters into your life, you can take control by asking yourself,What do I want to come out of this?What is this for?I discuss three different major life events that brought on a lot of change for me and I share just how I was able to navigate them. I also share major life changes currently going on in my life. From getting a new job, moving in with my boyfriend, and pursuing a passion in coaching others to achieve meaningful goals for themselves - 2020 has been an interesting year so far to say the least. You too can make this year meaningful as you navigate the change placed in your path.
