I don't have a huge amount to post this week, but I did have something on my mind that I wanted to share.
Sometimes life gets crazy and overwhelming and you don't always remember the things you need to do to take care of yourself. As for me, right now I've been busy trying to find a job and a place to live, creating my makeup portfolio and resume, and helping out with family chores at my in-laws who have been kind enough to live with them until my husband and I find an apartment. Sometimes I feel like there is so much going on that I can't keep track, and my goals seem to take a back seat, even though they are just as important as everything else.
However, amidst all that is going on, I have little things that help motivate and remind me what I'm working for. And that's what I want to talk about today.
One of the smaller things I've done to help me remember is to follow people that inspire me to be better on social media. On instagram there are many amazing women that I've started following that share the same goals to be healthy and eat right. In fact they are coaches that lead by example and post challenges or questions to help others on their journey. Seeing their posts inspires me and makes me want to make healthier choices.
The other smaller thing that helps me remember is so simple yet super effective. I learned that on my fitness tracker, I can set a sedentary alarm. I pick an amount of time, and if I haven't moved for that period of time, it will buzz at me and remind me to get moving again. It's been especially great as I've been on the computer filling out applications and working on my portfolio/resume as well as any other time. I hit my (now) minimum goal of 5,000 steps with so much more ease because I'm making sure to move frequently enough that it doesn't go off. I'm still working towards hitting 10,000 steps a day, but getting closer to that has been so much easier with just that small reminder.
This week I want to challenge you to think of the goals you have set for yourself and your plan to get to them. Are there any little reminders that you can add to your daily routine that will help you achieve them faster?
I know that implementing even the smallest of things can really change your life. I remember seeing a sign while on my mission one day that said "The secret of your future lies in your daily routine." I think that's really when it hit me that it really doesn't take a lot to change your life. Keep working hard and doing all you can. Even the smallest things will change you and your life!
