LOVE YOURSELF IN 2013! MAKE TIME FOR YOU

MAKE TIME FOR YOU!!!!!

Contrary to popular belief, you are the most important person in your life.  Make time for you!  The happier, healthier, peaceful, rested, energized, filled, joyful, loving, etc. you are the more you have to give to others. If you are empty you have nothing to give!

Make time for you by making great choices with your time.  Somwhere in your day you should have at least 15 minutes to yourself to simply sit in peace, quiet, and reflect or possibly meditate.

Tomorrow is January 1st, 2013!!!!! We made it another year.  Leading up to this posts we've spoke of starting your new years resolutions on the 24th of December so by the 1st of January its already a habit.  We've spoke of losing weight, exercising, saving, investing, simply making great choices with your body, health, and finances.

Where here is a starter how to guide:

When you wake up say Thank You, simply give thanks....try saying thank you through out your day!

Pray, meditate, chant, spend time in devotion - find stillness if only for 3 minutes however you choose!

Exercise, stretch, get your body moving, do something, if only for 5 minutes optimal 15 minutes in the morning, you will definitely see improvements in your body and health....as long as you are changing your eating habits! 

Eat Breakfast!  It doesn't have to be a large meal but your body needs energy just as your car needs gas.  Fill it up, with fruits, nuts, berries, granola, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, SOMETHING....

Enjoy a cup of hot tea, cocoa, or even coffee,  take the time to take in the aroma, sip and relax.

Brown Bag Your Lunch!  This will save you money and hopefully be a healthier option than fast food.  Not a sandwich person, take left overs, not a left overs person, figure it out LOL!!!!!  Salads, fruits, raw veggies, sandwiches on multi grain bread (substitute spinach for lettuce), water....something...make sure you're eating something RAW everyday!!!!

Cook dinner at home! And not out of a box or freezer bag!  Use fresh herbs and spices if you can, parsley and cilantro are great additions to most meals, cumin, cinnamon (just a sprinkle but its great for many things, look it up f you don't trust me), and others.  Replace extra virgin olive oil with ALL cooking oils, grape seed oil is great as well.  Simply ditch vegetable and corn oil altogehter.....

Have a relaxing bubble bath, get massages regularly (great health benefits from this as well).....

Read a good book!

Watch less TV!

Create a budget! Do you know where your money is going?

Invest in your favorite brand if you can!  You wear Nikes? Buy stock! You eat at McDonald's (I hope not too often!!!), buy stock! Have every apple product that's come out this year, Buy stock!  I think you get my drift.

Try yoga, pilates, zumba...something :-)

Seek out a financial planner or someone you know who's great with their finances!

Take a class that interest you!

Take yourself on a date!

Get to know you, in order to fully relate to others you must 1st know yourself, then understand that you are unique and while others may share your beliefs and ideals they will not always think or react like you and that is ok!!!!!!!

You've set goals, have plans, and dreams?  Do something that gets you closer to seeing your dream become reality, research, map out a plan, talk with others, network, get started!

Each day try to be better, do more, get one step closer to your goal than you were the day before.  Be in constant competition to out do yourself!  You deserve nothing but the best.

Let's commit to ending 2013, healthier, wiser, wealthier, happier, with more joy, peace, understanding, knowledge, self-control, kindness, and LOVE.

Why am I speaking about the end of 2013 and it hasn't begun? because I heard it said somewhere BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND!  The time is NOW, NOW is all that you have, FAITH is NOW...

Before you say you don't have time, re-read the title...MAKE TIME....get up 30 minutes early do whatever it takes to be the best you in 2013 and beyond...

MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF, Do something for you....

Be blessed and be a blessing! Namaste! Peace! Love! Joy! Happiness! Kindness! Self-Control!
