The Morning Mindset Newsletter: "I Control How I Show Up"

Hey Morning Mindset Family,

Welcome to October! ?? This is the month where change is in the air—the leaves turn, the air crisps, and we’re reminded of the beauty in transition. October is a natural reset, a reminder that we too, can shift, grow, and show up differently if we choose to.

One of the most powerful realizations you can make in life is this: I control how I show up.

Every day, no matter the circumstances, the people, or the pressures—you decide how you show up. It’s a reminder that your attitude, your energy, and your actions are in your hands.

Too often we give away that power, reacting to life instead of leading it. But I want to encourage you this October, as we step into a new season, to make a declaration over your life: I control how I show up!

Show Up with Intention

We can’t always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we respond. Showing up with intention means deciding before the day begins how you will carry yourself, what energy you will bring, and what mindset you will walk in.

• Tip: Start each morning with a declaration—speak over your day before it begins. Remind yourself: "Today, I choose peace. Today, I will lead with grace. Today, I will bring excellence into everything I do."

Show Up with Purpose

Purpose is your "why." It’s what keeps you grounded when life feels shaky. When you show up with purpose, you aren’t just going through the motions—you’re making moves with meaning. Whether it’s your work, relationships, or personal growth, showing up with purpose allows you to stay focused on what truly matters.

• Tip: Take a moment today to revisit your "why." Why do you do what you do? What impact do you want to leave behind? Write it down, keep it close, and let that purpose guide you through every challenge.

Show Up with Accountability

We often get distracted by the noise of the world and forget the commitment we made to ourselves. Accountability is about reminding yourself that you are responsible for the choices you make. When you commit to showing up, you honor that commitment to yourself.

• Tip: Find an accountability partner this month. Someone who will check in on your progress, ask you the hard questions, and push you to keep showing up even when it gets hard.

Show Up with Faith

There will be days when showing up feels hard—when the weight of your responsibilities seems overwhelming. But here’s the truth: you were made for this. I personally believer God wouldn’t place you in a season you weren’t prepared for. Trust that He has equipped you for every challenge, every opportunity, and every moment you will face this October. ????

• Tip: Each morning, spend a few moments in prayer or meditation. Center yourself in faith, knowing that God is with you, guiding your steps. Let your faith be the foundation that keeps you standing tall, no matter what the day brings.

Your October Challenge

This October, I challenge you to take back control over how you show up. Don’t let the circumstances of life dictate your energy or your purpose. Instead, lead your life with intention, purpose, accountability, and faith.

Every day is a new opportunity. You get to decide how you step into it. You are the author of your attitude, the CEO of your energy, and the captain of your mindset. So, let’s show up with boldness, courage, and a commitment to excellence this month!

If you’re ready to dive deeper into these kinds of conversations and take control of how you show up in every area of your life, I’d love for you to join my community. We’re building something special—where mindsets are shifting, and lives are transforming.
