PLAN YOUR DAY.
Sit down and take a couple of minutes to plan out what you will do in during the upcoming day.
The most commonly cited reason for people not to stick to their health plan is that they were caught unawares. If you have a plan set up, you are less likely to fail. By planning when you’ll eat, what you eat, etc., you can make sure that the resources are in place when you need them.
Planning healthy meals, snacks and activities will ensure that you don’t wolf down the contents of your fridge at night because you forgot to eat lunch.
Planning for what to do when trouble strikes is good insurance as well. How will you distract yourself if a craving strikes?
Make a plan every morning and hold yourself accountable for it.
Commit to it for that day – taking it one step at a time is used in recovery programs because it works. Committing to one day is a whole lot easier than committing your entire life.
Please refer to the book for more details on this activity.
After a long time, I got a day off today. I planned to get some of my household chores done. Then to go to a friend's place and hangout a little.
I am mostly busy with practice. There is nothing much to plan.. but sometimes, it is tiring. I have started spending the first 10 minutes planning the rest.. especially, how I am going to spend some "me" time.
One thing that I do while sipping my morning drink is to plan my day ahead. It helps me to get some time to recollect myself at the end of the day.
I get to meet my friends, build relations and socialize. It is just so important to have a life beyond professional me.
