2018 has been the year of self-care for me. But sometimes that concept can seem over-whelming. But making positive changes can happen one day at a time. Today could be the day you start to positively change your life. So stop procrastinating and start thinking about what you could do. Perhaps, you could have a day like this one…

Wake up early and start the day with the mindset that yes, you will finally start to exercise more. Put on your running shoes and do your health a favour by getting that blood pumping with a short jog around the block. Perhaps tomorrow you will go a little further, but you don’t want to push too hard if you are just getting into the routine. And then…

Treat yourself to a healthy breakfast, rather than guzzling down a quick cup of coffee and the remnants of last night’s pizza. And because you were up early, you do have time to prepare something nutritious for a change, such as using one of these delicious recipes to wake up your taste buds. While eating breakfast, think about the foods you will eat for lunch and your evening meal, and perhaps make a mental note to cook up something good for you, rather than opting for yet another takeout meal. As you leave the door to go to work, or whatever else you are doing today…

Focus on having a positive mindset, be glad that you are you, and remember all the things that make you so brilliant. Spread your positivity everywhere you go, being kind to those you meet, and making their day a positive one too. Even if you’re enduring the torture of the daily commute, you can still make the effort to smile at somebody, and your pleasant attitude may be passed on throughout the day, as others follow your example. And if you are working today…

Do something that will enhance your career. You might want to book a meeting with your boss, and perhaps ask him (or her) for that promotion you may well deserve. And if you don’t deserve a promotion? You might work harder than normal, showing your boss your resilient attitude. You could take on an extra task or two, or speak to your boss about any training courses that are available to assist your progress. And be grateful for your job, even when it sucks to be at work. The sun may be shining outside, and you may not be sunning it with your besties, but at least you have money in your pocket. On that note, you should...

Get to grips with money matters. How are your finances anyway? If there are any problems, get to the root of them. If you are struggling with debt in your life, for example, then find a reputable company today to help you consolidate them. Start by reading the Freedom Debt Relief reviews to get you on the right path. And if you have more money than you know what to do with? Or if you are tempted to buy something nice but unnecessary? Find your charitable side instead, as not only will you get the emotional reward by doing good, but you will be benefiting somebody else a little (or a lot) less fortunate than you. And then…

End your day by taking stock of what you have done. Take time to relax and be grateful for your life. Be thankful for the ways you have changed your life today. Take comfort knowing you have made a difference to somebody else’s life. And then…

Think about what you can do tomorrow to further better your life. Sleep well!
