This is for the old, the young, and everyone in between. To those who need 5% more motivation or 95% more motivation, to the broken hearted, to the struggling, and to the ones who’ve lost their confidence – it’s never too late to get back up in the game. You’re never too old and it’s never too late. Here are 5 things to get you back on track (both physically and mentally)

 

  1. ‘Make your bed: Little things that can change your life and maybe the world’

For just $11.10 you can get one step closer to your goal, to get motivated! This #1 New York Times bestseller is based on a speech revolving around the idea that “WHAT STARTS HERE CHANGES THE WORLD”, that every little step you take throughout the day, from cleaning the dishes to making your bed, makes you feel a little more accomplished and a little more motivated to keep going.

 

2. Sleep is essential to have a good, productive day! If you feel like you toss and turn in bed, remember:

  1. Drink a big glass of water before going to bed

  2. Don’t use electronics 30 mins before (rest your eyes)

  3. Using a diffuser and essential oils can elevate your sleep

  4. CALM app (FREE) includes meditation and soothing music to help you sleep

 

 

3. Exercising

It’s painful to wake up in the morning for most of us, but nothing gets you more focused and in the zone like a good workout. Whether it’s yoga, swimming, or even a quick workout in the comfort of your living room, it’s gets your happy hormones going and helps you stay in the zone all day!

I’ve linked my favourite at home TABATA workout that really keeps me going! Feeling healthy and fit helps you get one step closer to feeling confident and active

 

4. Audiobooks!!!!

Apart from ourselves, the best way to feel inspired, to learn, and to create is through reading. If you’re always on the go or don’t have enough time for a physical book, then AUDIOBOOKS are the best way to keep growing and expanding your thoughts while on the go.They keep you updated, help you grow, and some can really change your perspective on life.

Apple and androids have some audiobook apps for FREE

 

5. Keep in touch with your friends!

Life gets in the way; all the stress and chaos is a part of your week but make time for those who matter and those who’ve always been there! It’s important to stay connected and be around those who make you feel like the best version of yourself!!!
