How I Use My Planner to Hold Me Accountable
I use it for time blocking. I color code, my family, in different colors. I set several goals for each week and then three goals for each day. I use the front page for big Personal and Professional Goal Setting. I also keep a Vision Board or motivation collage on the inside cover.

6 Simple Ways to Practice Gratitude Daily
Life isn’t easy – we are strapped into a roller coaster and must grin and bear the lows, the loops, and enjoy the view as we go up to the highest heights. We’d all love it if our lives were perfect all the time, but that’s unfortunately not how life works. The lows are there to make the good times feel better, but you’ll have difficulty identifying the positives in your life if you don’t practice gratitude.

5 of The Easiest Ways to Incorporate Exercise into Your Daily Routine
We can all be guilty of having days where we do not do enough physical movement with our bodies, particularly if we are having a duvet day or it just looks miserable outside.

Taking time to care for ourselves on a basic and personal level is something we often put off or dismiss as we don’t consider it a priority in our busy lives. However, self-care has physical, mental, and emotional health benefits that can have an overall positive impact on the way we live our lives. While it can be challenging to set aside time for yourself — especially if you’re used to always caring for others — you’ll soon realize that making yourself a priority is a gift of self-love that will help you live your happiest, healthiest life.
Mindful Breathing: How to
The most basic way to do mindful breathing is to focus your attention on your breath, the inhale and exhale. You can do this while standing, but ideally, you’ll be sitting or even lying in a comfortable position.

It can help to set aside a designated time for this exercise, but it can also help to practice it when you’re feeling particularly stressed or anxious.
