Simple Tips for Investing in Yourself

Happy New Year.  2022 is a new beginning, and though many challenges may show up, it is in your best interest to remember that living a healthy, wealthy lifestyle is possible and within reach. The best way to start is by being clear on your goals and determining the results you want, which will place you in a better position to put a practical plan of action in place. When you combine dedication with healthy food choices and a consistent workout routine, you will be on your way to enhancing your overall well-being.

Consistency will also sustain you when making the required adjustments as you move forward on your path to success. Decide today to diligently meet your goals while avoiding having your busy schedule hinder you from taking care of yourself.

Focus on positioning yourself to feel good, be happy, and experience high-energy vibrations that recharge you. Once you do, you start attracting the right people into your life who will encourage and support your goals, dreams, and aspirations. Remind yourself daily that you deserve to be successful and live the lifestyle you desire.

It’s helpful if you can find a minimum of 5 minutes a day to begin the process and then build up to 15-30 minutes. Your consistency will eventually pay off. Keep in mind that you may find such change may not be so easy at first. Stay persistent. Your efforts and sacrifices will pay off over the long term.

When I started my well-being journey almost 11 years ago, I was not in good shape and did not take great care of myself.  I was in a lot of pain, couldn’t walk one-half of a block, and didn’t know how to exercise, so I rarely moved my body. I focused too much on work, and as a result neglected to take care of my mental and physical health. I knew I had to make a change and reached out for support. Once I did, I was able to find a coach who filled me with a wealth of new information, which revealed a workable plan of positive change that included exercising and healthy eating.

What I learned most from the initial experience is that exercise inspired and energized me. Do you want to shift your energy and feel good? Exercise is a great way to start feeling better. Choose exercises that you enjoy so you will stick with your program. My favorite exercises I began with were riding a stationary bike and lifting weights. Both gave me a feeling of inner strength.

What are some of your favorite exercises? If you have none at the moment, then choose one movement for your body and add on from there. You never know what you like until you try. Now I rotate among four exercises that are routine habits, intending to do 3 of 4 each day. Either the stationary bike, yoga, walk, or weights.  I especially love my Sunday yoga class.
