Happy tips



I believe taking care of your health (mind, body and spirit) and having a positive outlook can help you get to any goals.  Here are just some of my happy tips that has helped me accomplish goals.
  1. Have goals.  I recommend to look into PUSH: 30 Days to Turbocharged Habits, a Bangin' Body, and the Life You Deserve!. It helps you to put your life into perspective so you can try to achieve the things you want in your life.  Also creating SMART goals are important (specific, measurable, attainable, realstic, time-based).  Get a planner to help you with put your goals together, schedule and track it.  I use a Filofax Domino Luxe.
  2. Start off slow.  This is your journey so take it at your pace!  Take the time to build your knowledge to accomplish your goals.  A system that works for me is Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.  It helps organize my thoughts and gets my to-do list going.  I recommend to research and read books and articles about your goals.  Personally I read a lot of books or take classes on self-care, personal development, personal finances and nursing continuing education.
  3. Work on your goal!  Your not going to change if you do not do anything about it.   You need to incorporate your goal into your life, by making it part of your daily routine.  I would suggest to do it daily for 21 days to build a habit.  Use your smartphone calendar and set reminders. Use a paper planner.   Write sticky tabs to remind yourself to do it!
  4. Track your progress to help you stay accountable.   Visual trackers are helpful to see your progress during your journey and keep you motivated.    Personally I like to use a planner/journal, like this Blog and my Instagram. For my health goals I like to use MyFitnessPal to track your weight, measurements, workouts, food and water intake and RunKeeper for my running statistics. 
  5. Surround yourself with happy and healthy people.  This will help you to keep going!  Having an online community is helpful so you don't feel alone in your journey.  Talk to your real life family and friends on what your goals are.   The more people that know and support your goals the more likely you will help you along the way too and maybe join you.  Joining or creating a challenge is one way to get people involve!
  6. Do not pay attention to haters.  They will always hate.  This is your journey, not theirs!   They are probably jealous with what your doing!
  7. Evaluate your goal.  Have you marked in in your planner as actionable or add it to your to-do list.   Have you been updating your trackers and see progress?  If it working great, keep at it!  If not, what can you do better or different?  Is there room for improve?  If things are not going the way you want then evaluate the past actions and see where there is an issue.   If you are still having problems seek help from someone with experience or an expert.
  8. Celebrate little victories.  It is ok to have mini rewards along the way.   It motivates you to keep going!
