    Experience the best of New York City’s architectural history, culture, and diverse cuisine while staying in a swanky retreat in the heart of the Big Apple. Just a short distance from Manhattan’s bustling Grand Central Station, you’ll find condo-style amenities combined with great customer service at the Club Wyndham Midtown 45 resort.

    by Tykesha77 December 23, 2019

    Updated December 23, 2019 As a kid, I LOVED road trips. Being on the open road, enjoying the change of scenery, seeing new places and meeting new people excited me. But as a momma of two young children, road trips have become the stuff that nightmares are made of.

I've found my content creation golden hour!!! It's I've found my content creation golden hour!!! It's 9 pm to 10 pm.  After everyone in the house is asleep, all is quiet, and I can actually hear myself think.⁠⠀

I've been trying for the last few months to have a "Miracle Morning" but for some reason, the mornings just ain't my jam.  So, I switched things up a bit and blew my own mind!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm amazed at the volume of work I can turn out with 1 hour of uninterrupted time. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When was the last time you blew your own mind? What did you do/accomplish?

Every day I like to push myself out of my comfort Every day I like to push myself out of my comfort zone.  I do at least one thing that makes me feel uncomfortable and challenges me.  Sometimes it's posing for pictures and other times it's emailing a pitch to a brand I love. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I've mentioned this before...but I really don't like to pose for photos. I feel awkward and self-conscious the entire time and end up acting goofy 🙃 to help deflect my nervous energy. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I ain't gonna lie and tell y'all that I've completely overcome my shyness, but I'm committed to showing up more this year. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Each time I work through that uncomfortable feeling and do the things that scare me, it motivates me to try something new the next day and the day after that. ⁠⠀

What do you do to challenge yourself?⁠⠀
