I am maintaining momentum through exercise, setting priorities, and taking short breaks.
I realize that living the life I desire is a journey, not a sprint, and so I set my goals accordingly. I utilize strategies that can set me up for success while keeping me motivated along the way.
Exercising my body and mind brings me energy for the long haul.
Physical activity keeps me in shape, oxygenates every cell in my body to re-energize them, and keeps my brain sharp. It also produces endorphins, the feel-good hormone, which helps bolster my self-esteem and confidence.
Mental exercises are also important! Just as I physically exercise every day, I also work out my brain to maintain forward momentum. I keep my thoughts and attitudes in shape with daily affirmations for success.
Setting priorities makes for effective time management. I include my goals in my priorities and schedule time every day for tasks that point me toward success.
Taking short breaks rejuvenates me. When I take the time to relax, even for a few minutes, I find that stress melts away and l can re-focus on what I really want to do. I come back to my tasks with renewed energy, passion, and momentum.
These strategies keep me going, moving toward my goals, day in and day out. They help me overcome challenges that try to knock me off my path.

When I give my body downtime I am able to recharge and become more centered.
Because I get the rest I need and make relaxation a priority in my life I am abundantly peaceful. My tranquility surrounds my life and I am better able to handle all situations that come my way.

My body requires rest and sleep to function at its highest potential. That’s why I take care of myself by making sure I get my rest. Resting my body allows my mind to be clear so I can embrace my peaceful state.
Tonight I will take my time in preparing for sleep instead of rushing through my routine. In this way, I can appreciate the process of preparing for rest.

Change is healthy. I refuse to get stuck in the same routines.
Just as I know that every day the sun will rise and set in its regular routine, I also know that each new dawn brings tremendous possibilities for change. In nature, no day is exactly like the day before.
In the same way, even when my life seems routine, I realize the potential is there for me to change whatever I desire.
It is healthy for my mind and spirit to change every day routines. Change keeps my mind sharp and my spirit energized. When I need to complete the same tasks day after day, I can still accomplish them in different ways so I can avoid getting into a rut.
For example, my daily household chores can be done in any order I choose, so I change the order around each day. Some days I dance while I do them and other days I sing. Sometimes I listen to classical music and other times I rock out!
Mindless chores also give me the chance to think through new ideas and create action plans for achieving my goals. After all, do I really need to think about garbage when I take out the trash? Do I really need to focus on dirt when I vacuum?
I realize that the only way I can get stuck in the same routines and stagnate is if I allow myself to do so. It is so easy to spice up the mundane, all I have to do is take swift action!
When life gets boring, I can expand my knowledge instead of watching TV. I can learn a new hobby, practice a new skill, or go on an adventure. Each of these changes sparks new passions and opens up even more opportunities for further fulfillment.
Today, I see life as different from any day that has come before. I can grab hold of any opportunities I may have missed because I am willing to be adaptable.

I reclaim my health by taking care of myself today.
Now that I am adult, I am responsible for my own health. In order to reclaim it, I sometimes need to go back and parent myself into a healthier lifestyle. There are many things I can do, even today, to help myself along.
First of all, I recognize that what I put into my body affects my energy level, stamina, and productivity, not to mention my ability to stay healthy.
I choose to give my body foods that provide fuel and nutrients rather than empty calories that simply pack on pounds that I don’t need.
I also make exercise a priority. I have let go of idea that I have to be either a master athlete or a couch potato. It’s perfectly acceptable for me to be somewhere in between.
While gym memberships and structured exercise programs can be valuable tools, I can be healthy without them by making a few minor changes to my lifestyle. Walking or biking to work, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and engaging in outdoor play with my children are all excellent forms of exercise. Any movement is good for my body.
Lastly, I make sure to respect my body’s need for rest. I have a set time when my day is done. The vast majority of the time, whatever is unfinished can be picked up the following morning.
I have let go of the idea that I need to pack as much into each day as possible. Instead, I keep an eye on the big picture because I know that pacing myself and getting the rest I need will enable me to reach my peak productivity level.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Do my food choices enhance or inhibit my productivity?

If I want to be full of joyful energy, I must live a healthy lifestyle that provides all the energy I need. I also practice mental exercises on a daily basis that facilitate my healthy lifestyle as well as my optimism, happiness, and self-fulfillment.

To make this easier, I plan ahead and freeze leftovers so there is always healthy food in the freezer to heat and eat on those harried days.
I make it a point to exercise every day. Even if I don’t have time for a workout, I stay active and make healthy choices. I take the stairs instead of the elevator.
