In 2019, make time for yourself, right away in the morning. Set up your alarm half an hour or a full hour earlier than you used to and give yourself your first hour of the day, without looking at anyone else\u2019s demands (which could easily be done by glancing at your mobile device). Stay away from emails, texts, social media and focus on one thing you want to do for yourself. You can plan your day, exercise, meditate, set up your intentions for the day, or even, start on this important project of yours that needs concentration and that you can never get to once the hectic day has started. Make sure you do what\u2019s important to you first! I get up at 4:44 am during the week and 5:55 am on the weekends. I start with my exercise, make my morning shake and often write in the morning. By 8:00 am, once everybody else starts firing emails and demands, I have already taken care of ME.<\/p>\n
SIMPLIFY<\/strong><\/p>\n In the busy world we live in, it\u2019s often that we hear: I\u2019m so busy, I don\u2019t have time, life is so hectic, etc. Have you ever thought about the fact that you might be able to simplify a bit? Is everything a priority? And a priority for who? What is important to you? What are you going to choose to do with YOUR precious time? FRESH AIR<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2019, put some outdoor time to your calendar. Even for just a short walk after dinner.<\/p>\n USE YOUR \u2018GOOD\u2019 STUFF<\/strong><\/p>\n I have cleaned up over the holidays and found an expensive purse that I bought 5 years ago. I was keeping it for the \u2018good\u2019 occasions. Well\u2026. it is now out of fashion! It still looks brand new as I used it about once a year.<\/p>\n This year use your favorite purse. Dress up. Eat in your favorite plates with your nice cutlery on your favorite tablecloth. Go ahead\u2026 You are worth it!<\/p>\n DE-CLUTTER<\/strong><\/p>\n Eliminate the\u00a0un-necessary stresses created by clutter in\u00a0your home.\u00a0Do you get mad at\u00a0your underwear drawer every morning as you fight to close it? Take 10 minutes and organize it!\u00a0Start with little projects, like the baseball hat that has been on the back seat of your car for 2 years. Then take a couple hours and clean up your filing cabinet or your closet. One box to-give-away \u2013 one box to-recycle \u2013 on box to-keep (it must be really really important to you) \u2013 one box that you are not-sure-about (don\u2019t let some items slow you down, if you are not sure, don\u2019t think forever, put them in a Not-Sure-Box).<\/p>\n The least clutter in your life, the more room for abundance to come to you. \u00a0It is proven that physical clutter has an impact on our mental health. Get organized and feel great!<\/p>\n If you have a hard time getting rid of something, there is an unconscious reason for it. Remember that it is my speciality to help you find these reasons and make room in your life for the abundance you deserve!<\/p>\n DRINK DRINK DRINK<\/strong><\/p>\n Is your huge 1L bottle of water that you take to the gym enough? Do you live with the illusion that you drink enough water because you chug down two bottles during your fitness class?<\/p>\n We need to drink 8 to 10 cups per day ON TOP of what we drink at the gym. The bottle you carry with you when exercising is only to replenish the water that you lose with sweat. Keep drinking! Always order water at a restaurant, not only will you stay hydrated but it\u2019s also cheaper than any other beverage!<\/p>\n USE 6.8 MINUTES PER DAY TO GET HEALTHIER<\/strong><\/p>\n Recent studies show that the difference between overweight people and lean people is that they spend 6.8 minutes more per day shopping and preparing their meals, which contain 6 per cent less fat than eat-out food. You need to make cooking and eating better easier. Planning for your meal will only take 6.8 minutes more on average and you will benefit from the importance of preparing and planning when it comes to our nutrition! #homemade<\/p>\n BE GRATEFUL<\/strong><\/p>\n End your days with a gratitude routine. Researches show that people taking time to be grateful on a daily basis, enjoy the same level of happiness than people winning the lottery. After a year, they are even happier than people who had won the lottery, and after 5 years, they are even wealthier than the lottery winners (who have usually spent it all anyway and are back to square one).

\nIn 2019, see if you can simplify everything that you do. Accept that it can be \u2018good enough\u2019. What could be done by somebody else? Hire people to do things you are not good at. It creates employment! Focus on what you are good at and on your talents. Do more of what you enjoy! Live a simple life and enjoy the most valuable resource of the decade: TIME!
\nPost your comments and let me know how you simplify YOUR life and enjoy more TIME!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thinkyourself.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/xmas-snowman.png?resize=398%2C398&quality=80&ssl=1\")
As I exercise more than 8 times per week indoor, I find myself guilty of not taking enough time to go outside and enjoy some fresh air. We just spent a week in Quebec where we had an amazing time getting energized by the wonders of mother nature. Every Sunday morning, my husband and I are making a priority of going for a fresh walk, if it rains, we take umbrellas and we go anyway!<\/p>\n
