Are you in a mid-summer slump? Writer and motivational speaker, Ganel-lyn Condie, stopped by the studio to share nine tips to help you get motivated!
- Overwhelmed? Make a list of worries or even to-dos. See it all on paper. Sometimes we don’t move because we are overwhelmed.
- Do one thing. Start with the easier stuff on your list and then move to the harder stuff. Just start somewhere to get the wheels moving.
- Set a timer. How much can I do in the next 30 minutes? You can even start with 10 minutes.
- Mindfulness for 5 minutes. Reflect on the feelings you will have when the overwhelming task is shutting you down.
- Make a shorter list of goals. Better health is too big. Make it narrow. “Drink more water this week.” “Get 8 hours of sleep.” “Walk for 30 minutes.” Those are more specific.
- Do first things first. What do you value? Study, exercise, prayer? Do those first thing in the morning and the extras can always be fit in.
- Make your bed. Seriously. The little things matter. Even make sure the dishes are done before you go to bed.
- Calendar for the week every Sunday night.
- Be Patient. You fall down, get back up. Growth happens over time.
