Are You Inspired?

by Michaeline on June 30, 2009

What inspires you? Do you wait for external things to inspire you or do you inspire yourself?

Don’t wait for external motivators…rely on yourself to make changes that last.

Here are some strategies that will inspire you as you travel the road to personal change adapted from an article in Women’s Life Style Magazine (April 2009) by Janice Lynne Lundy.

1. Give yourself a morning infusion.
Rise 15 minutes early to engage in “good” activities to start your day. Meditate or read and focus on things that are positive.
2. Choose the company you keep.
Spend time with those that support your desire for change.
3. Make an honest assessment.
At the end of the day take time for reflection. Make observations of the successes and lessons learned to help move yourself forward.

Begin your daily journey with positives and inspire yourself into greatness.

Believe In Your Greatness

by Michaeline on June 23, 2009

I recently attended a breakout session at a conference entitled “Positive Attitude: The Key to Success in Nutrition and Dietetics”. Wolf J. Rinke presented the session. One of his success action steps is: Whenever anyone asks “How are you?” Answer “GREAT!”

He suggests that you do this with enough enthusiasm to convince yourself and others that you really mean it. As with any habit, developing the attitude of feeling great will take 21 days.

I have actually been practicing this step and the reaction that I am getting has been interesting. Actually, most people are surprised when I respond “GREAT!”

So surprise yourself and others… YOU ARE GREAT!
