Monday Motivation

 New Year, same me with a few enhancements. At the end of each year, I sit down to see what I’ve accomplished and what I want to accomplish this year. These are my actions for the year. I left goals a long time ago because goals were wishes my heart made with no intention of actually completing. Go to the gym? Yup, I do that. I have a program that I love when it comes to lifting. I’ve seen tremendous gains from the previous six months, so I’m excited to see what the future brings for me with my lifting. Nutrition? Believe it or not, I have this piece dialed in. I’ve based my eating on how I feel. Not based on a fad because fads don’t last. This is what keeps me from feeling swollen, bloated, miserable. I created my plan based on what I needed, not anyone else. Sleep? This one came more naturally once I created eating habits that fit me. I sleep better. I wake up refreshed. I am ready to tackle the day. Stress? This one is a tougher one because I needed to really hone in on what would help me work through the stress of my job, being a mom, etc. What I have learned from this piece is I am doing all things I love or want to do or that challenge me. It is just that simple. When I find myself stressed, I take a moment jot down notes, and I ask myself what I want from this piece of stress. How can I use this to my benefit? 

Then, what could be on my accomplishments list? Build my reading habits. Continue my learning of Spanish. Continue learning how to be a better teacher of reading. Continue growing in the gym. Building my business - Arbonne and selling curriculum. Once I made these decisions I became excited. What happened next, I doubted myself. I wondered if I was worth it. I am. No one else can believe in me if I don’t believe in myself. I need to get out of my own way. 

Today’s motto, stay out of your own way!! Develop morning habits and routines that create success!
