4th of July, The Day I Met Jenifer

The above date is significant in the Domingo Family for many reasons.  First of all, it is Mama Fili's Birthday.  Although she is in heaven now, we remember this day as we always celebrated her birthday as well as Independence Day for the United States of America.  Secondly, its the 4th of July.  Finally, its the day that our agency owners first met, July 4th, 1993, and it has been fireworks ever since !!!  

What an amazing summer we have had! We are blessed in this life and have had the opportunity to travel, visit our brother, relax in Hawaii, and now get to begin careers we have been praying for. Our Farmers office is MOVING! Well, not too far...we are just downsizing. You can now find Glenn, Jen, & Liane all working in our bottom office at 3520 College Blvd. They love having visitors, so if you are ever in the area, feel free to stop by, or if you would like to talk over your policies in person, you are always welcome. We hope this change helps our elderly clients as well.

How to Get Back Into a Routine & Actually Stick to It

Whether you’ve just returned from vacation, wrapped up a busy season, or life has simply thrown off your groove, getting back into a routine can feel overwhelming. But routines are more than a checklist—they’re an anchor. They help us regain control, feel accomplished, and move toward the life we actually want to live.

If you’re feeling unmotivated, scattered, or unsure where to start, here’s your simple guide to getting back on track—without the pressure of being perfect.

1. Start Small—Seriously

Don’t overhaul your whole life overnight. Choose one or two habits to reintroduce first—maybe it’s making your bed, a 10-minute walk in the morning, or prepping your meals again. Small wins build momentum.

📝 Try this: Write down 2 things you can commit to each day for the next week. Keep it simple and realistic.

2. Stack New Habits to Old Ones

A powerful way to get back into a routine is to connect new habits to ones you’re already doing. This is called habit stacking—and it works.

💡 Example: After you brush your teeth, stretch for 2 minutes. After your morning coffee, plan your top 3 priorities for the day.

3. Set the Mood with Your Environment

Your surroundings influence your behavior more than you think. Lay out your workout clothes the night before, tidy your space, or create a calming morning playlist. Make it easy to follow through.

🎧 Pro tip: Use sensory cues—like lighting a candle before journaling or putting your phone in a drawer before bed—to signal it’s time for your routine.

4. Give Yourself a Grace Period

It takes time to get back into rhythm. You might miss a few days. You might feel like giving up. Don’t. Progress isn't lost just because you took a detour.

🧠 Reframe it: Instead of “I have to get back on track,” try “I’m learning how to care for myself again.”

5. Plan Ahead—But Stay Flexible

Structure brings calm, but rigidity brings burnout. Map out your week (even loosely) so you know what’s coming. But leave room to pivot when life happens.

📅 Hack: Time-block your non-negotiables like workouts, meals, or sleep. Then build the rest around it.

6. Celebrate the Small Wins

When you honor your small efforts, you stay motivated. Don’t wait until the big milestones—celebrate showing up today.

🎉 Try this: At the end of each day, ask: What’s one win I’m proud of today?
