Sunday Thinking ― 6.22.25

"Your energy has to match your intentions. You can't manifest elevation while entertaining distractions."

The weekly Sunday Thinking newsletter is quick-hit content that aims to provide a booster shot to your thought process as you end and start your week.

"Give yourself permission...to stop sprinting on fumes. To admit the pace is breaking you. To feel the ache beneath the momentum. To stop performing energy you don't have. You don't need another protocol. Another cold plunge. Another fix-it morning routine. You need a moment to breathe without performing your peace. This summer, let slowness be sacred. Let rest be whole, without the guilt. Let the world keep pushing. You get to pause. You get to be real, not relentless."

― Dr. Zelana Montminy, Finding Focus

I. The Reps of Courage

Courage is not the absence of fear; it is intimacy with fear.

  • It's standing face-to-face with what terrifies you and choosing to step forward anyway.

  • Every time you do, you weaken fear's grip and strengthen your own authority over your life.

Feel the fear and do it anyway. Courage is a skill. It takes practice and repetition. But it's necessary if you want to take more ownership of your life and mind.

III. Clout Fades. Impact Lasts.

The real flex is how many lives you can positively impact. It's not about cars, clothes, or clout. Influence means nothing if it's not helping somebody grow.

  • The legacy you leave won't be measured by what you had, but by who you helped. Real power is when your presence inspires action.

  • When your story sparks change. When your content shifts someone's mindset and helps them unlock a new level.

You want to be remembered? Make people feel seen. Make people feel heard. Share what you've learned. Lift others as you climb.

  • The impact you make on others will outlive every material thing you chase.

  • That's the difference between popularity and purpose.

You weren't just called to win. You were called to lead. And real leaders build more leaders. That's the flex.

V. Question

Where in my life am I performing strength instead of honoring my need to rest—and what would it look like to simply be honest there?

VI. This Week, I Will

  • Choose courage over comfort.

  • Pursue what feels honest and aligned.

  • Give myself permission to slow down and breathe.

  • Take one bold step toward the dream that keeps calling me.

  • Listen closely to what my heart is trying to tell me—and honor its voice over the noise of expectation.

The Last Words…

"Maybe this next chapter of your wellness journey isn't about adding more or chasing a 'new you.' Maybe it's about gently releasing what no longer serves your body, your mind, or your nervous system, and returning to a state of balance, health, and ease that was always meant for you."
