It is so easy for us to worry about both the small and big things in life. More than likely we all probably had something that we were worrying about today. Whether it was a conversation with a loved one, dealing with a boss, or maybe something as small as a task you didn’t want to do.

Remember going outside as a kid and playing football with the neighbors or watching your kids play sports? Although technology has definitely had a positive impact on our lives, it has also made us think that staying inside on our phones is better than going outside. Never lose touch with nature and enjoying what God has provided us with. We are constantly under manufactured lights, breathing manufactured air, and hardly get outside.

Preparing for sleep is more important than you may think. Staying up an extra hour may not sound like a big deal, but it can ruin your productivity for the next day. Make sure that you have a set schedule for when you go to sleep and when you wake up, have a nightly routine, and use your mind & body all day so you are tired by the time you go to bed.

There are over 50,000 storage facilities in America. Do you own too much stuff? Do you have a closet full of clothes that you don’t wear anymore that you hold on to? We get a rush from buying something new or receiving a package from Amazon, but do we really need what we are buying? Try getting rid of some of the things that you haven’t touched in the past few months.

Although it’s well known that a morning routine is important, don’t forget how important an evening routine is. Even after a hard day at work, school, or being with the kids, make sure that you have some alone time for yourself and enjoy your evening. Do something that you enjoy doing, whether that is hanging with friends, going to the gym, or reading.

Your values control the daily decisions you make. Do you know what your values are? Are you constantly working to improve them? When we were young, our parents taught us what our values were going to be. Over time, we gradually get to choose our own values. It is important to know what your goals are in life and then work backwards to make sure your values match these goals.

Are the stories we tell ourselves putting us further ahead or setting us back? Are they getting us anxious making us want to escape the situation or are they helping us to run head first at our challenges. We often we set limits on what we are able to accomplish in the long term and assume we can do a lot more in the short term. Change your perspective on the situations that you have gone through and the potential situations you may go through in the future. Making small changes to your mindset is what can set you apart from the rest around you.

What is it that you have done today to better yourself for tomorrow? This is a question to ask yourself every day to make sure you are constantly working towards your goals. What you are doing today will help you tomorrow and in an exponential way in years to come. Nothing happens overnight. It takes multiple days and nights to achieve goals, so continually skipping a good habit or discipline is only going to leave you further away from your goals.
