Today is going to be a busy day. Thursdays are usually filled with chores, but in addition to those, we are also taking care of some financial things at the bank. But I have a new creative idea I can start fleshing out in my minds-eye while doing all that responsible stuff.
The reason why I write in a daily journal is because it is supposed to be a healthy habit to start your day. Many successful people, especially in creative fields, have claimed that it helped them achieve their goals. I've been really interested in these "life-hacks" of late, and I want to share three other tools I'm using to kick life in the ass.
Lift
This free app is like a motivational checklist, you hand pick your daily goals, check them off as you complete them, and then 1,000's of people striving towards that goal post comments, tips and give props. They even have coaching plans, where each day is a different challenge striving towards a bigger goal. There is some great stuff, from exercise, to saving money, and even emotional things like, "find one nice thing to think about yourself today", or "talk to one stranger today", for all you introverts looking to get out of your shell. Essentially, whatever you issue you need to work on, it's on Lift. You can add me as a friend via my twitter account @madeyeshawn
My Fitness Pal
This free app let's you track all the food you eat and calculates the nutritional values. This really helps me keep my over-eating tendencies in check and motivates me to make each day count towards my weight-loss goal. It's a hard habit to do daily, but I added it to my "Lift" goals, so hopefully with the power of two apps combined, I will be keeping this issue in check. Add me, username: MadeyeShawn
MindBodyGreen.com
This is a website/blog filled with fantastic quick-read articles about health-food, fitness and emotional wellness. Every night I read one article from this blog before I go to bed. I highly reccomend this site.
My parting words of wisdom for this day:
"It's easy to let a day feel like just another check mark on the calendar; meanwhile the universe wants us to see its beauty, and there is no day, calendar or schedule for its awe to be felt."
