We all know how easy it is to lose sight of our goals when life becomes so bogged down with responsibilities, stress, obligations, and drama. Do not let go of your personal goals. Knowing that you’re working on your empire can instill an exciting purpose in life. It makes the stress and hard work worth it in the long run! </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <b id="docs-internal-guid-c76ab2bd-8d7a-1f30-2235-282fe5279bff" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> </b></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When you are feeling overly stressed and feel like you lack motivation, I have some helpful tips to boost your energy, help you refocus on the prize. Here are some tips to stay motivated during all of life’s stress and struggles:</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> </b></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have a clear, specific goal.</span></div> <span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <ul><span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <li><span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To stay motivated, make sure that your goal is clear, specific, and can be evaluated. If your long-term goal is vague, it is challenging to stay motivated. With a clear, specific goal, it will be much easier to track your progress toward your goal, which will help you stay motivated. The more specific, the better. </span></span></li> </span></ul> <span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have a plan, but be willing to adapt it.</span></div> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another way to stay motivated is to have a long-term plan. Being able to check your progress along the way is important to finding motivation. Break down your goal into specific pieces. If it is possible for you to put deadlines on certain parts of your goals, do it! Deadlines will be extra motivation.</span></div> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you don't feel like you are making the progress you want, be willing to adapt your strategy. All strategies need revision. It is impossible to do something perfectly the first time, especially when you are learning and working as you go. </span></div> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Stay motivated by planning, strategizing, evaluating your progress, and adapting your strategy as needed. Checking your plan consistently and making changes will ensure that your long-term goals remain a priority among your other responsibilities. </span></div> </li> </ul> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> </b></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let people in. </span></div> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is challenging for most people. When you are working toward your goals, it's intimidating to talk about them with people, but people could be what you need to stay motivated. Talk to people you trust and people who love you. They will help inspire you to continue working toward your goals. They will share your excitement with you!</span></div> </li> </ul> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> </b></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Expect good things to happen.</span></div> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lastly, to stay motivated, expect that good things will happen. Your attitude is everything.

Choose a Healthy Lifestyle, Not a Diet

Smarter lifestyle choices can help promote improved mental, emotional, physical, and social health. Leading a healthy lifestyle is not solely about the physical appearance; it’s about treating your body well and living a full, rich life in every way! Making smart choices for your well-being is not a diet. If you’re looking for a happier, healthier life, don’t diet to lose weight. Refine your lifestyle. Live a healthy one.</span></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are many benefits to choosing a healthy lifestyle rather than a diet. Here’s a list to motivate you to make that lifestyle change and take care of yourself for the long term.</span><br /> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </b> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mental Clarity</b><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the first things you’ll notice when you start to make healthier choices is your mental clarity. Treat yourself to nutrient dense food and regular exercise, and your brain will show you the benefits. You will be calmer, yet mentally energized to handle tasks and daily responsibilities. A poorly-executed diet doesn’t do that. In fact, many diets can harm your mental clarity. Too often, diets are about cutting calories. They don’t consider the nutritional benefits of a proper amount of healthy food. Drastically cutting calories can make the body feel sluggish and make the brain slow in response. </span></span></div><b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </b> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nutritious Food</b><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When working toward a healthy lifestyle, the hardest part for most people is easing the cravings of junk food. While getting rid of junk food is challenging, it does get easier with time. Your body craves sugar when it is consistently rewarded with it. Once you can cut out unhealthy habits, you will have less physical cravings for those unhealthy foods. </span></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">A short-term diet can cause greater weight fluctuation because people are more likely to binge eat after reaching the end of their diet. This forms bad habits again and makes it harder to make healthier choices in the future.</span><br /> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </b> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Energy, Mood, Confidence</b><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A healthy lifestyle will improve your energy levels, your mood, and your confidence. Once the toxic, sugary food leaves your system, you will feel like a new person! Feeding your body the nutrients it needs through nutritious and fresh food will lead to naturally healthier choices because your body won’t crave junk food. Without these cravings, your moods will be more stable, and by implementing exercise a few times each week, you will have naturally higher levels of serotonin, which is a mood booster! </span></span></div><b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /> </b> <b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Longer Life</b><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taking care of your body will help you live a longer, healthier, happier life.
