So much depends on our mindset. By making healthy choices we will feel better.  Less sugar, more protein, and plenty of sleep will give you energy and keep you going much longer than continuing to do the same thing.  Reducing your notifications and clearing out the clutter will clear your mind.  And doing something out of your comfort zone and being grateful will help you grow and appreciate your blessings. 

Your environment plays a massive role in shaping your mindset. Surround yourself with people who lift you up—friends, family, or mentors. If you lack a strong support system in your immediate circle, there’s no shame in looking elsewhere for inspiration. Seek out positive influencers, authors, or thought leaders who inspire you... Create a display or screensaver of the people who believe in you.

Have walking meetings - It’s productive multi-tasking.  Many women have been doing this for years with their friends in their free time but you can start walking and talking at work too.

Do squats while you brush your teeth - Add in little exercises while you are doing ordinary daily activities. It’s a positive way to muti-task.

When you celebrate just one accomplishment you are recognizing yourself for getting the job done.  You are actually reinforcing this good behavior and as a result you will most likely move onto the next thing and get it done too!  It is so much better to build yourself up than beat yourself up.  And if you are celebrating a win on a project you are working on that means you are one step closer to achieving your goal.  Woohoo!

The best way to make a change in your life is to name it and then create a goal to put it into motion.  When you take personal responsibility for your welfare and happiness, you are personally invested which means you will follow through to achieve your goal.  When you aren’t happy with an aspect (maybe more than one) of your life, it is up to you to do something about it.

Oprah was the first person I can remember who took Sunday off. She has always understood the benefits of taking a day of rest. She turns her phone off for 24 hours and she just enjoys being quiet and taking good care of herself without worrying about anyone or anything else. How would you like to begin that practice?

The only way you are going to get better or make significant changes in your life is to be proactive, be positive, and to know that you will get out of it what you put into it. Develop that can-do attitude so you can live your life fully and feel the joy and sense of accomplishment that you deserve…Become your biggest cheerleader and know that you are amazing! Go out there and go get ‘em!

We can learn a lot about what works and what doesn’t by going out there and doing our best and being open to the outcome. Things usually turn out better when we don’t attach any meaning to the outcome and we value the experience for what it is. So next time, tweak it a little, and try again. It’s not the big deal that we think it is. When you have a growth mindset you learn from your experiences in order to improve the next time.

I love how Tony Robbins put it, “A goal is a dream with a deadline." The best way to make a dream a reality is to work on it a little bit every day. And the best way to make sure you do something every day is to add it to your schedule.

Do you want to run around the yard with your grandchildren or your dog? Do you want to be able to bend down to pick flowers or collect veggies from your garden? Do you want to clear brain fog or sleep better? These are the goal posts you use to guide your decisions. You can ask yourself, “Is this good for my body?”

Studies show that when you stand up straight, put those shoulders back, and lift your chest up high, you are sending the message to your brain that you feel confident. Take up space by putting your arms on your hips and spreading your legs like Wonder Woman. It will build your confidence. You can change your beliefs by changing your stance.

I hope you are persistent, you realize the impact of your thoughts, you go for it more often than you hold back, and you tap into your inner strength and beliefs to be fulfilled and find meaning in life.
