Do try these at home:
* Be silent for two minutes a day.
* Take breaks.
* Wake up an hour earlier to get more done.
* Evaluate your level of satisfaction in 4 key areas: physical, spiritual, intellectual and relational.
* Read!
5. Be intentional! Sometimes inspiration just shows up. For my husband that happens a lot in nature. He'll be outside, amongst the ocean or the trees and sense the presence of God. Other times, it doesn't come so easy and we have to be intentional about it. What inspires you?
4. Start small, be consistent and build momentum. Work on one small habit until it becomes a part of your everyday life. Then build. Don't stop. Soon you'll find yourself in a spiral of improved habits that keep moving you forward toward your goals!
3. Prioritize and learn to say "no". You can't do it all. No one can. So stop trying. Don't do all the good things that are presented to you; focus on the GREAT!
2. Begin to understand personality dynamics and how they relate to your relationships. Start with yourself. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? What about youu spouse, coworkers, friends? How do the varying personality types interact with one another?
1. Be grateful.
"Be thankful for what you have and you will end up having more. But if you concentrate on what you don't have, you'll never, ever have enough."
Great wrap-up Angela! I like evaluating the four areas. I tend to let the physical slide first, but exercising makes me feel strong in all areas. I'm working hard on that this year!
