“Your mind will
answer most
questions if you
learn to relax and
wait for the answer”

This being said…Lovies, It’s time to start managing your
health and well-being from the inside out.
Listed below are 5 strategies designed to help you to become happier
- physically, mentally and spiritually in 2020:
1. Include “me time” in your daily “to-do” list.
Choose something – some form of meditation (for me, it’s Yoga),
writing in your journal, reading one chapter of a book, or playing a
game with your kids. To be successful, it’s critical that you purposely
set aside time each day when you can quiet your mind and get in
tune with yourself. “Me time” helps you to become more self-aware,
as you reflect on the day, where you’re at and where you’re headed.
2. Exercise daily
The hardest thing to start (and the easiest thing to drop off) is a
scheduled exercise program-trust me, I know. However, in order for
you to continue to have the energy for everything entrepreneurship
requires, it means you're gonna have to “get up and get going”.
3. Start saying ‘No” And Mean It
In our day to day, we often overschedule ourselves and then wonder
why we feel overwhelmed most of the time. If this is something you
currently struggle with (you people pleaser you!) here’s the
thing - you don’t need to do everything. By saying no, you’ll give
yourself more time to pursue other interests and in so doing create
more opportunities for growth.
4. Find ways to unwind every day.
While it’s tempting to go for broke especially when you're in the
middle of a project you're really stoked about, it’s especially
important to dial down at the end of each day. When you give
yourself permission to unwind, you also allow yourself to
decompress, to reconnect with friends and loved ones. This also
helps you to refresh (just like your browser) and you’ll be better able
to handle the daily pressures of life (and biz).
