<\/p>\nI used to start my day taking care of pressing matters that I would get to first thing in the morning. Without knowing it, my day had\u00a0started, my computer had swallowed me for the day. At 8pm,\u00a0I would not have exercised yet even though I know exercise is a huge priority for me. I would end up having dinner and calling it a day.\u00a0\u00a0I needed\u00a0to find a strategy to make sure exercise.<\/p>\n
I now choose to exercise first thing in the morning before it\u2019s time to dive into writing, preparing a conference or seeing back-to-back clients.<\/p>\n
My strategy is straightforward.\u00a0I prepare my clothes in advance and leave them in the bathroom.<\/b>\u00a0When the alarm goes off, as a habit which I am sure I share with a vast majority, I get up and go to the bathroom. My clothes are laying right there beside the toilet, ready to put on before I even have time to think about anything. Then I brush my teeth and start to wake up, at which time, I realize I am wearing my exercise clothes, socks, runners, etc. ready to workout. If I put the clothes anywhere else, the odds of me putting them on go down. Trust me, I have tried different areas of the bedroom.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The point of this is to remember to prepare in advance. Setting up your environment will greatly improve your success. This apply to anything that is important to you and that you want to make sure you do first thing in the morning.\u00a0\u00a0If you are planning to exercise after work, pack your bag ready to go with you in your trunk. If you happen to run into traffic, you won\u2019t use the excuse to say you did not have time to get home and grab your stuff. You can go straight to your class or workout session.<\/p>\n
Putting them on in the bathroom as I am still half asleep has been working for me like a magic spell. I am not noticing what I am doing, and I just do it. Once all dressed, I walk to the kitchen where I grab the shake I have prepared the night before \u2013 again, increasing my chances to go through with it \u2013 and I drink it as I walk to the gym for my short weight lifting \/ pushups\u00a0routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
