Devote Time To Yourself!

Members Were Sparked

There are 1440 minutes in a day. Start devoting 10 minutes a day to physical activity. When you find out where your downtime spots are in your day, add another 10 minutes. This can be an easy 1st step into getting into the habit.

MORE INFORMATION:
Just think- if you devote 40 minutes of time for yourself, you're still left over with 1400 minutes to do the things that life throws at you. You have the time, even in a busy day.

Make an appointment to worry! Great trick for keeping stress in its place!

If you find worries interrupting your positive outlook, set an appointment time for dealing with them. If stress creeps back into any other part of your day, remind yourself it's not time for that yet. During your "appointment" set a timer and devote all your attention to worrying. When it rings, move on to your next activity--just as you would with any other appointment. You'll be amazed at what this mental exercise can do to improve your quality of life!
