Recharge Your Battery | People

What would it feel like to wake up excited and go to sleep fulfilled? Does it sound like a way you would like to live your life? It does for me! And I don’t mean in a “Pollyanna” way or walking around with a smile on my face all the time.

What I have noticed and heard from friends, colleagues and clients is that the lofty goals they set for themselves in 2012 are beginning to fade…as they usually do in the first quarter of the year.

I want to take a stand for you! Recharge your battery if it’s beginning to run low from the hustle and bustle.  

I am vigilant about practicing my positive self-talk strategies and resiliency techniques and tips.  I take good care of myself by eating healthy, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and practicing breathing techniques that physiologically ground a person throughout the day. If you are doing any of these you are headed in the right direction. If not, begin now. Be vigilant with your health.

Here are some ideas to assure a healthy lifestyle:

1) Find a partner to exercise with and be accountable to each other to guarantee success

2) Stop buying food snacks with excess sugar and carbs; these are particularly tempting to eat while you’re watching television

3) Try getting into bed one-two hours earlier than you typically would; often we don’t get enough sleep and we know that a good night’s rest is vital – wind down time is also a big part of needed rest

4) Be positive by focusing on what you have

5) Write down 5 things each day that you are grateful for

6) Be aware; Be present; Be consistent!

7) Give yourself permission to be patient with yourself

Sound easy? It can be. Begin practicing and chart it on a calendar …just do it!!
