Motivational Self Improvement Dynamics For Wellness
The first step in your self improvement program is not to start looking for a job while you still have a drinking habit. Just as it would be ridiculous to start an exercise program without giving up alcohol first, you have to deal with first things first. You need to get to the core of the problem first. Another example would be if you are in an economic distress.
It is probably easier, immediate and effective to reduce expenses and get a handle on your budget than to figure out how to make more money to cover expenses that exceed your income. The point being, it is ideally best to deal with the root cause of the problem first.
Sometimes the appropriate first step is not so obvious. For instance, if you are obese and want to lose weight, you may not be in psychological shape to start dieting and exercising. Perhaps you need to drill deeper and examine your motivation for eating more calories than you are consuming (which is the basis for the vast majority of weight gain). Are you bored, angry, alone, frustrated or otherwise unhappy with your life, There is also the concept of baby steps.
Taking the diet, nutrition, exercise concept a step further, it is not necessary for you to become a swimsuit model in 30 days! Wellness is not a fixed state where you are all of a sudden there. The wellness continuum is always moving either moving towards illness and death or wellness and perfection. You will never reach perfection in this life, but that is the direction you want to be moving in. And that is what it takes, movement in the right direction.
For instance, the first day of your exercise program can entail bending over towards your toes, staying there for a few seconds and coming up. That is it. Just one bend and you are done for the day. At least you have stretched your body. The next day, perhaps do two bends or stay down for a little while longer.
In other words, pick something you like to do or can do and slowly progress towards making it a habit. Then increase it, adding more exercises and before you know it, you will be actually exercising and missing it if you do not do it every day! Regarding food, perhaps you could substitute one unhealthy food for a good tasting healthy one that you could stick with. Just do what you can succeed at and make it into a new habit and keep going. Incremental steps are the best ones, as they lead to long term success for anything in life, including a wellness program.
You will never look back. 200/month cheaper. Pretty straight-forward, eh, 5. Drive an Older Car and Live Close to Where You Work - Daily commuting costs an incredible amount of time and money - something often only visible once you’ve stopped doing it. 200. Simple math. Plus likely better for your health.
7. Brew Your Own Coffee - Brewing your own coffee costs almost nothing. 4 for one coffee per working day, which adds up quickly. 8. Sell High - When your stocks go up in value (perhaps well above their previous highs), and you’re thinking, “Yes! I’m finally about to become a millionaire,” stop being such a moron and take your cash while you can.
Letting your portfolio of stocks plummet in value is a really easy to lose a lot of money you saved or earned elsewhere. Don’t screw it up after all that hard work and success. If you don’t want to follow your investments daily, set sell-stops so that you don’t have to follow so closely. But regardless, don’t just sit around and lose your shirt. 200 a month, especially if you like to entertain guests. If you’re relying on restaurants to be impressive, note that people like it better when you prepare it all yourself too.
