Must Do 2

______________________________________

Today I want to present a wellness challenge. I was thinking of some of my personal goals today. I am so well meaning. But I am like everybody else. I have all these fabulous goals and then life gets in the way. I was writing my parenting tip for the week on Mentoring Simply Put, and I realized how much of what I wrote applies to us adults.

We want to change so many things that we can end up changing none of them. I don't know about you, but I tend to take on too much. For instance, I want to get back to better fitness. Imagine that! So, I know what that means, diet change, exercise change, even mindset change. Phrases like, "This (extra desert, skipped exercise, etc) won't matter" need to stop.

Seriously, those big goals can be daunting and overwhelming. But real change is about small adjustments practiced over time that take us to those bigger plateaus. Here is my wellness challenge starting this week.

What is your Must Do 2? Two things you agree to do for yourself every day that build your personal sense of wellness. Losing weight, getting more organized is not what I am talking about here. It's the small daily changes we commit to that build a path to these bigger goals. Is it a 10 minute walk? Calling one friend that builds you up? Taking a 2 minute time out every few hours? Stopping your day to sit and eat lunch? Taking 5 minutes to make your bed in the morning because it makes you feel better?

What are two things you could do that are easy, that would give you the most "bang for the buck?" What are two things you could commit to that you are almost guaranteed to succeed?

What if you take on my wellness challenge and commit to your Must Do 2 wellness changes? They are different for all of us.

I am sharing my Must Do 2 in the comments section of this article. Check it out. And consider sharing yours. You can share your name or keep it anonymous. It's up to you. But write it down and make it real. Then practice it every day and see what changes come!

Remember to make the moment happen!
