The Best Today™ Guide

I've been using The Best Today Guide for two months now. Although I've always been a very organized person, using my Best Today Guide has helped me shift toward focusing my time and energy on the things that are TRULY important to me, rather than simply checking off a bunch of random items on a list. Don't get me wrong - like everything else in life, you actually have to do the work if you want to see results. But the BTG framework is helping me improve my life in powerful ways. I'm setting better boundaries in my business, being more engaged and present with my family, and spending a lot less time spinning my wheels with random busy-ness.

I’ve always been an organized person and a “planner junkie”, love me a good to-do list, etc.

I also wear a lot of hats: I work for a small non-profit, have 3 young kids, volunteer at the schools, church, etc.

But since getting the Best Today Guide just over 2 months ago, I’ve felt like I just leveled up!

I got into great morning routine with exercise, cleaning, starting laundry and helping my kids with distance learning.

Even during busy seasons at work (hello, pivoting for a virtual conference this year!), I been reflecting that even though my routines get a bit “off”...I’m still getting it done because it’s listed on my results and outcomes for today in the BTG.

The mindset work, process, support and accountability that the Best Today Guide and the Community provide has been a game changer!

I grew up in a very disorganized, reactive environment, and even though I've always known that lifestyle wasn't for me I've always had a very difficult time making time for everything I want to do in a day. I've tried and failed for years to build strong habits, a rejuvenating morning routine, more free time in my schedule, more time to move my body (my favorite thing!) more time to read for pleasure, keep my spaces clutter free, and on and on and on. But just the process of trying to build routines has always been completely overwhelming! I stick with it for a week or two, then it slowly falls apart, which leads to mental negativity and emotional fatigue, and you probably know this spiral.

I have been using the Best Today products for about two month. Y'all, this won't even sound real. I got my house spotless and organized in about a week, then was able to build keeping it nice into my new morning routine. I've lost 8 pounds from organizing my meals and working in morning yoga and afternoon mental release exercise for me and my kids (I stay home with them.) I have completely reorganized my business around my values and gotten invited on FOUR podcasts just from talking about what I'm doing with greater clarity. Most importantly, I feel refreshed. I've started getting up 2 hours earlier and I have the energy and the joy built in to make getting less sleep feel better.

The Best Today products have helped me change my life, solidify my values, and start realizing my highest potential within the comfort of who I am. I wish I could send this out to everyone in the world!!!

I have been a longtime fan of planners and organization tools, and pride myself in usually being able to "get things done". I am a physician who has been feeling overwhelmed by 2020 for obvious reasons, and have a tendency to always want to do do do and feel bad saying no to things. I totally relate to feeling busy all the time and not having enough time in the world. Shunta's approach involves more than just planning my day/week through routines, but also reflecting on my vision and the bad habits that get in the way. I would recommend watching some of her videos to see if her style is a good fit for you, and if you want to give this a try, I recommend joining the BTG community to also learn more from her and from the others in the group. Using this for the past 2.5 months has been quite a game changer, and I feel so much more balanced!

There are three big things the BTG has given me so far.

One is the freedom to relax. Now, when I choose to spend time relaxing or doing something fun, there is nothing at the back of my mind that I need to be doing instead. I know that my day is under control, everything important has happened or will happened, and I can actually JUST relax. It’s a beautiful thing!

Two: it has changed my relationships for the better. Acknowledging my self-destructive behaviors every day has been a game changer for me. I can now tell early in the day what bad habits I might turn to depending on how I feel, and noticing them like this allows me to turn in another direction when I feel them coming up.

Three: I have so much more brain energy to have ideas and be creative again- something that gets dampened when I have the guilt I mentioned before, or a to-do list always hanging over me. Not anymore!

Purchasing a BTG was a small investment for me because shipping (set by the carrier, not the seller) to my country cost more than the product itself, and USD is expensive for me, but it’s an investment in MYSELF that I am happy I made.

If you actually use the thing and do the work, you won’t be disappointed.
