Finding time for you

How do you find balance? With so many commitments and tasks cluttering up our schedules - how do you find time for what really matters most? Stuff like our own health? Really important goals like more time enjoying Family and loved ones.

It seems like if you are healthy it is much easier to have a better attitude towards just about everything. To find time - or make sure you have time for the important things.

Sometimes we get so wrapped up achieving success and / or giving to others. So much time and energy devoted to careers and helping others and we can too easily forget to take care of ourselves first.

It's OK to be a little selfish and make some time for ourselves each day isn't it?

Make It a Habit! Guard your time for health and fitness. You'll do better at everything else if you are in good health!

The key to a lifetime of fitness is consistency. Here are some tips to help make regular exercise a habit:

Choose something fun. Sports and an exercise plan you enjoy - that fits your lifestyle. Set realistic goals, and tailor your program to your own fitness level. Give your body a chance to adjust to your new routine. Stay positive even though you may not see immediate results. Don't give up if you miss a day; just get back on track the next day. Find a partner for a little motivation and socialization (support from family and friends has been positively related to regular physical activity).

Build some rest days into your exercise schedule. Listen to your body. If you experience unusual symptoms (e.g., have difficulty breathing or experience faintness or prolonged weakness during or after exercise) speak to your Doctor. Don't wait.

Enjoy a fun variety of physical activities and give your body a thorough workout and help prevent boredom. You might want to choose one indoor exercise and one outdoor activity to allow for changes in your schedule or for bad weather.

The important thing to remember is move, move, and keep moving! Incorporate as much physical activity as you can into your daily life, through exercise and routine activities.
