The Power of Your To-Do List
It turns out, a simple to-do list is a POWERFUL science-backed tool to help to get things done… and also reduce stress. Check out these findings:
How to make your list work for you:
The importance of morning sunshine…
Getting a few minutes of sunshine in the morning isn’t just about breathing in fresh air — it can actually help you sleep better at night! Here’s why:

And it also happens to be one of the biggest mistakes I see people make, for a whole list of reasons. Working with a coach can be a HUGE springboard to results when you’re first starting out… coming back from a layoff… or struggling to stay on track. Don’t get me wrong: it’s human nature to feel a little intimidated about working with a coach and want to feel “ready” for whatever comes your way. BUT… an experienced coach can help you set realistic goals you’re excited about — while also helping you rack up quick “wins” and results to fire up your motivation. PLUS, they’ll help you create a personalized plan; provide accountability, inspiration, and support; AND help keep you focused on the BEST actions while avoiding time-wasting distractions. When you’re going it alone, it’s hard to get traction because of all the guesswork involved — which is the OPPOSITE of motivating. And those are just a few of the reasons it’s worth investing in a coach — even if you don’t “feel” ready, yet! You know those days when you wake up with a clear focus and feel inspired to have a GREAT day?
It isn’t so much about WHAT you are doing on that day — or even whether it’s a weekday or a weekend. It’s about how you FEEL. And you can set yourself up for a fantastic day through your morning routine. This week PAY ATTENTION to the things that you do in the morning that help you feel better later in the day. It could be something as simple as drinking a big glass or two of water… setting an intention for your day for how you want to feel at bedtime… a quick workout… or a healthy protein-rich breakfast. Then DO that more often! Because what you FEED — with your attention, thoughts, and actions — will become your FOCUS.
And your FOCUS will grow to occupy a significant place in your life. Which makes it really important to monitor what you’re feeding.
Every morning, you have a choice: you can hit the “snooze” button on your goals — or wake up inspired and go after them.
Starting your day with a SPECIFIC goal or intention helps you stay focused and keeps you moving forward. But if you want to take it up a notch? ENDING your day with a quick reflection on what went well and what you can do differently tomorrow will help your brain clarify your thoughts. It's all about creating a cycle of positive action: morning motivation to propel you forward, and evening reflection to help you refocus. So, what's one goal you're working toward now? Let's inspire each other in the comments below! Looking for more ways to prime your mindset for success?

Both are powerful mindset tools backed by science. So, yes, it matters! Especially when they work together. Here’s one way to think of them: Affirmations are like an umbrella, protecting you from negativity and distractions by shielding you with positive thoughts. Intentions are all about the things you intend to do UNDER the umbrella to make your goals a reality! EXAMPLE: Affirmation: My body is resilient, capable, and strong. Intention: My food choices today will support my health and fitness goals. Today think up a couple of affirmation and intention combos that are aligned with your goals — and then put them to work for you! Have you ever stopped to think about WHY you make the choices you make?
Whether you realize it or not, there’s an intention behind every decision. EXAMPLE: Choosing to make dinner at home vs. hitting the drive-thru, because your intention is to feel healthier and less bloated. –OR– Hitting the drive-thru after you’ve had a bad day, because your unconscious intention is for convenience or even to “numb out” with foods you associate with comfort. Your intentions set the blueprint for your future because they guide your actions. Here are 3 steps to align your intentions with your choices:
