Don’t Be Afraid to Stick With Your Routine

Aug 22, 2024 | youngandrising.com | J.P. Pressley

It’s common to fall into a routine when striving after a goal. This may be a set workout routine, a work routine, or perhaps a holistic daily routine. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Because your routine ensures consistency, which is needed to achieve most every aim. As time goes on, however, it’s common for your routine to change. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with this either. Because the world and everything in it is always changing, us included.

If you’re reading this, you’ve made a sacrifice before. Maybe (hopefully) not a mythological-level sacrifice, like giving up your first child for a kingdom or something, but a small one. It’s a part of life. If we want something, we must sacrifice something else we have to get it, be it free time, money, energy, you name it. And all of us want something. Okay, probably many somethings, if we’re being honest. So, we sacrifice.
To Run Your Race Well You Have to Know Yourself Well

Aug 8, 2024 | youngandrising.com | J.P. Pressley

Ever been told to run your own race? To stay in your own lane? Or perhaps that the grass isn’t always greener next door? They’re all helpful statements hitting at a broader truth—it’s best to be the best you that you can be, leading the life that only you can. After all, no two people or circumstances are the same. So, looking at others and trying to keep up with the Joneses (or, in today’s society, everyone’s social media highlights) is a recipe for failure.

We all hold onto things. Often things that aren’t worth holding onto. Between grudges, anger, toxic relationships, excessive material possessions, and more, it’s commonly in our best interest to relinquish that which doesn’t serve us. Yet as hard as this is, that’s usually the easy part. When you let something go, the real hard part is not picking it back up. There are countless things you may have to let go of. Just like there are countless reasons you may finally let things go.
Make Time to Check In With Yourself

Jul 4, 2024 | youngandrising.com | J.P. Pressley

No matter who you are, what you’re doing, or where you want to go, it’s important to check in with yourself. It’s something you probably already do when it comes to your appearance. Whether it’s after a shower or in between meetings, you probably make time to look in a physical mirror (or your phone camera on selfie mode) and adjust your hair or clothing based on what you see. In the same way, you should make time to hold up the metaphorical mirror and check in with yourself.
Purpose to Be Purposeful—Even With Your Rest - The Young & Rising

Jun 27, 2024 | youngandrising.com | J.P. Pressley

Everyone wants something. Whether it’s to become a millionaire, get married, or graduate college, people have no shortage of hopes, dreams, and goals. But results don’t just fall out of the sky. They take time. Effort. Intentionality. And many don’t purpose to be purposeful with their every action. This isn’t to say you have to be working at all times! Working every minute of every day isn’t a recipe for success—it’s a recipe for burnout. Still, you want to maximize each minute you have.

Been busy and productive for as long as you can remember? Just like a child on break from school, you should take time to relax this summer. In fact, you should take time to relax throughout the year. And not just on weekends. But you shouldn’t get lazy. There’s a difference. Relaxing and laziness aren’t the same thing. But if you’re not careful, one can lead to the other. Everyone should take time to relax. It’s healthy. Needed. But only when you relax from something.
Sometimes Ending a Friendship Is for the Best

May 31, 2024 | youngandrising.com | J.P. Pressley

There are many reasons people stop being friends. Sometimes people simply drift apart. Other times, people start outgrowing friends. Every so often, however, a friendship breakup isn’t so seamless. Every so often, people must go forward with ending a friendship much like they’d end a romantic relationship. Which isn’t easy. After all, making friends can be hard. And the older you get, the harder it gets. That’s part of why even the thought of ending a friendship can be heartbreaking.
To Exceed Expectations, You Must Do the Unexpected

May 31, 2024 | youngandrising.com | J.P. Pressley

Everyone has expectations. It might be classroom expectations or work expectations. Family expectations or friend expectations. Or any mixture of these and more. However you slice it, everyone has certain expectations placed on them. But not everyone exceeds expectations. Want to get that promotion? Impress that date? Wow that professor? Here’s some advice on how to do more than is expected of you. Doing more than is expected of you is to do the unexpected. And there are two main ways to do that.
It’s True: A Goal Without a Plan Is Just a Wish

May 31, 2024 | youngandrising.com | J.P. Pressley

Everyone has goals. Everyone has wishes. And for some, they’re one and the same. Because when you have a goal without a plan, you don’t really have a goal at all. You may as well just wish for that faux goal to happen next time you blow out your birthday cake candles. Ever heard the saying, “a goal without a plan is just a wish”? Well, it’s not just a saying. It’s reality. Until you make a plan and act on it, consistently, your short-term and long-term goals will likely remain unaccomplished.
