And what are the things that are growing in your life?
Isn’t it so that those are the ones that you give
your attention to and that you nurture?
For our kids we say “brush your teeth, drink your water, shower or bath, it’s time to go out, it’s time
For our kids we say “brush your teeth, drink your water, shower or bath, it’s time to go out, it’s time
to learn and finally time to sleep”.
Isn’t it wonderful how a routine can take us so far, when it’s daily, weekly and just an integrated part of our life?
You see, how time actually helps us in the way how over time we repeat the things that matter and that creates the bigger impact in our lives.
The thing that you want to change the most today, how well is it integrated into your everyday life?
What kind of simple things do you already do daily to nurture that area in your life?
When I think of an example, my new gym routine, here’s how I nurture this area daily, during my weeks.
On Mondays and Wednesdays I check that my one set of exercise clothes that I always use, is washed and dried.
After I found out how stretching helps me to keep up with my new hobby, I am committed to stretching daily, in the morning or at night.
No more hurting knees and legs that feel like logs from muscles that are just all jammed.
On Tuesday and Thursdays I’ve agreed with my husband that he is with our boys when I exercise.
For those days I’ve agreed with my friend that her dogs spend time with my family and we two go together to the gym.
This one is a game changer for me, no space for easy excuses, and I love that.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays when I come from work I also make sure to right away prepare kids lunch and snacks for the next day at school.
I also prepare my water bottle and put my exercise clothes ready to be changed.
Every day I can go for a walk or biking and on Fridays I can freely run if my body is not too tired from the weekly heavy gym group exercise.
Most of these daily or weekly activities are small and easy.
But if I didn’t do any of them, I could easily come up with an overwhelming excuse for not showing up in my gym group.

Couldn't do this new routine this smoothly without you!!
