Amazing 🤩 Your video is very helpful and the sound quality is very good, and the thumbnail is simply awesome. But your video is not optimized properly, no good tags are used in the video, so that which the video does not get views. If your video is properly optimized then your video will get more views and subscribers will increase. And your brand values increase rapidly.
I like that 30 day approach. I remember a meditation book called 30 Days to Sobriety by Harper Daniels that helped me out.
I think 30 days is necessary to give your body enough time to feel the benefits of no alcohol. Many don't realize that the effects of alcohol last in the body for days, and that includes the depressive effects. Thanks for the comment!
Low carb high fat medium protein keeps you stable aswell
I carb cycle, so every day is a little different based on my workouts.
Glad ok
Amen! We have to at least get started. Consistency is the key!
You make such beautiful videos, but why are your videos less likes, comments and shares?
Gaining weight is just as hard as loosing weight. Although the emotions behind it are different. The answer is always the same. Take good care of you ❤
Also, “asking for what you want, not just what you need” really hit home. I have an editor & book designer for you when that transcript is written 😊
Right? Great words to live by! I'll keep you posted about the book!😅
Love this new venture for you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yay! Thank you!
