No matter what your morning routine is, it should be something that centers you mentally, emotionally, physically. It needs to put you in a positive place to be ready to take on whatever your day holds for you.
One of the most important A-HA! moments I’ve had on this journey was the day I realized I had been going about the business of getting healthy all wrong. Until then, I had been focusing on all the things I “had to do” in order to make the necessary changes in my life.
I came across a Warren Buffet quote the other day that resonated with me. It said,
“Much of what you become in life depends on whom you choose to admire and copy.”
What I discovered is that breakfast is a great time to get a jump start on getting those veggies in. Good decisions beget good decisions, beget more good decisions. When you begin healthy, you want to end healthy.
If you’re like me, I didn’t know how much peanut butter I was using until I actually grabbed a tablespoon and measured it.
It seems like a lot of hassle to take time to record what you’ve just eaten or to track what you plan to eat at your next meal. But if done the right way, and by “right” I mean “easy,” tracking your food consumption can be a powerful wellness tool.
As a kid, I was pretty sure I’d have one of those lives where everything turned out exactly as I’d planned and I’d be confident in all my doings. Here I am mid-forty-ish, and I realize I’m not really even sure what I want to be when I grow up. But I’m working on it. These are my musings about what I consider the most important aspects to the fine art of figuring it all out.
