What Am I doing?

Challenge yourself to change…

There are always those people you meet who get so much meaning out of their day. They are never bored with what they do and are always learning something. Why?

One word: Intentional
They are intentional about investing in themselves everyday. You cannot take care of others if you do not take care of yourself first.

Here are 3 things you can do that are GAME CHANGERS for the outcome of your day.

1. Personal Development reading: It’s wonderful when you find one of those quotes that make you think and perhaps go about your day a little bit differently. You have the ability to intentionally do that everyday. Find 15 minutes in your day to read a personal development book. You will be surprised at how much this can alter your day, job and relationships with others.

2. Heart and Study time with God: Yes, they are different. Find time to spend talking with God about your day. My personal preference is to journal…”God, yesterday was…” you get the idea. Also take the time to get into scripture and read. Reason? The same as personal development only deeper. You are intentionally growing your relationship with God. I have found the best option for me is to get a 20-ish minute devotional a day.

3. Exercise: Do something for 25-30 min a day that gets your heart-rate up. Squats during commercials, stairs instead of elevators, short fitness program, or a run interspersed with lunges. The options are endless, but all of them give you more energy, better sleep, and again intentional investment in yourself.
