I realize that living the life I desire is a journey, not a sprint, and so I set my goals accordingly. I utilize strategies that can set me up for success while keeping me motivated along the way.

Exercising my body and mind brings me energy for the long haul.

Physical activity keeps me sharp, oxygenates every cell in my body to re-energize them, and keeps my brain sharp. It also produces endorphins, the feel-good hormone, which helps bolster my self-esteem and confidence.

Mental exercises are also important! I work out my brain to maintain forward momentum. I keep my thoughts and attitudes in shape with daily affirmations for success.

Setting priorities makes for effective time management. I include my goals in my priorities and schedule time every day for tasks that point me toward success.

Taking short breaks rejuvenates me. When I take the time to relax, even for a few minutes, I find that stress melts away and l can re-focus on what I really want to do. I come back to my tasks with renewed energy, passion, and momentum.

These strategies keep me going, moving toward my goals, day in and day out. They help me overcome challenges that try to knock me off my path.

Today, I allow myself the privilege to incorporate these successful strategies into my routine so I can maintain momentum toward my goals.
