"Taking care of your wellbeing is essential for living a happy and fulfilling life. It involves taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health. Here are some tips to help you improve your wellbeing”

The first step in falling out of old habits is to identify them. Take some time to reflect on your daily routines and identify the habits that are not serving you. Once you have identified the habits, you can start to work on breaking them.

For those that follow me on social media, I have been discussing the importance of time and then broke down five (5) of the most time management skills that can help you with your personal and business life. If you missed them, here they are:

1. Planning

2. Decision making and prioritization

3. ‍Setting boundaries and saying no

4. ‍Delegating and outsourcing tasks

5. ‍Building a system and diligently following it

I wanted to dig a little deeper as I wind up this month’s discussion on time management to leave you with a few more skills to consider when developing an effective time management system for yourself.

I decided to push my “reset” button and tell myself that a new month is coming, and I have another opportunity to begin again. Making sure that I set realistic goals based off of “my life’s obligations” and not that of anyone else.

“Everything looked good from the outside from the smile on my face, to the clothes I wore, to trips I was taking, but on the inside, my soul was tired. I felt overwhelmed, stagnant in my thoughts and creativity, self-less, and just not certain about my life’s path as I had in the past. I was drained mentally, physically, emotionally, but most detrimental, spiritually. I didn’t know a direction and it felt like life, on the inside, was falling apart.”

We’ve been hearing people talking about their new year’s resolutions and others talking about being intentional, but what’s the difference? I’ll share with you some a couple of definitions and then my view on where I stand. Merriam-Webster defines resolution as the act of analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones; the act of answering; the act of determining. Freedictionary.com defines intentional as done deliberately; done on purpose; planned, weighed, or estimated in advance.

What if today was your last day? Have you treated the most important people in your life right or do you need to apologize and make mends with those people? Do you have life insurance? Some day it will be your last day…

So now that 2020 is behind us and 2021 is here, what are you doing differently? Did you make new year resolutions? Did you take time to reflect on 2020 and what you could’ve done differently or was it such a treacherous year that you don’t even want to think about it?
