A Healthy Start

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Honeselty, I never really understood the science behind that statement, but I have always been a healthy breakfast person and can’t function beyond 10:00am without food. My take on it is that you are setting a solid nutritional foundation for the day – treating your body like a temple by giving it what it needs to perform.

Today starts the beginning of another work week. It is a Magnificent Monday and, following a healthy breakfast, I give myself what I need to embrace my potential. Keeping my Vision of Success in mind, I begin this Mondays planning my week: at home, at work, at play and at peace.

• I plan my meals for the week so I’ll make healthy food choices (most of the time – it is summer, after all) when I’m alone and with the children;

• I schedule lunch and coffee with friends I haven’t seen in a while;


• I commit to daily exercise whether it be a hike with a friends, a solo trek in the park, a bike ride with the kids or some serious dancing;

• I ensure there is ample time allotted to accomplish my work objectives – those things that must be completed this week in order to keep my project moving on track and within budget;


• I book meetings with new acquaintances who are certain to become important people in my business network;

• I confirm a special outing with my children where we will help a friend celebrate his book launch: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=131125776923224&ref=mf

• I carve out ‘play time’ on the weekend to celebrate several milestones with a great friend and colleague but aim, as part of my Vision, to incorporate play (i.e., for me: music, fun, laughter) in as many activities as I can throughout the week.


• I know that a part of each day will be spent in solitude to continuous to nurture my soul… walks in the woods, time at the beach, reading, meditating, writing.
Ahhh… glad I took that PAUSE. Lesson Learned
