Planning?\u00a0 What is it good for?\u00a0 Absolutely everything!\u00a0 Yet, we resist.<\/p>\n

There are those of us who exhibit quite a bit of resistance around planning our meals, making time for food shopping, and exercise.

<\/strong>By not planning, by not actively creating health, we are – in a sense – creating in the negative.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Schedule planning time<\/strong> on your calendar and adhere to it!<\/li>\n
  2. Anticipate problems and plan for them!<\/strong> Life happens.
    \nHold 1\/2 hour blocks here and there throughout your day. Consider it catch-up time.<\/li>\n
  3. Schedule thinking time!<\/strong> Yes, that\u2019s right\u2026 you have to think!<\/li>\n
  4. Plan for tomorrow, tonight.<\/strong> You will be amazed how well you will sleep.<\/li>\n
  5. Plan day-to-day and week-to-week.<\/strong> Once a day take a look at your day – tweak as needed.\u00a0 Once a week schedule time to look at the week to come.\u00a0 It gives perspective!<\/li>\n
  6. Plan on paper.<\/strong> You\u2019ll never remember all you need to remember. Trust me!<\/li>\n
  7. Take your time.<\/strong> No point in rushing and missing something important!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing!<\/p>\n
