DISCOVER - GEAR 2
This part of the program is where you can begin to discover new purpose, new passion, new plans, and a new vitality for life. Start to see the future as an exciting journey, filled with potential and possibility! Wake up past dreams that have been forgotten, perhaps because of pain or lack of energy!
Consider how empowering this feels!
You have decided to take control of your health and future! Do you feel more in control? Do you have more energy? How DO you feel? You are doing something wonderful FOR YOU! You are taking charge over yourself, your health, and your wellbeing.
You are committed to be your own best friend!
Discovery is an exercise best done near your day’s completion. Your day is nearing its end. You are settling down. Hopefully, you are able to find a few minutes for yourself, some quiet time, perhaps.
As you wind down after your day and the house quiets a bit, practice your deep breathing, and try to get with yourself; take time to thoughtfully reflect on your day.
Sit quietly for a few minutes before bed. Have a cup of tea on the lanai. Take a soak in an Epsom salt bath ( the plain stuff with no oils or perfumes). Sit with a book, but lay it in your lap for a few minutes. Pretend you are at a “stop” sign for just a bit. Hit the “pause” button. Meet your “Precious Present," the “here and now” and remain there, if even for a bit.
Evaluate your efforts. Don’t judge.
Don’t stress. Breathe deep. Check in with yourself. Where are you on your road map to good health, that is, your physical health, mental health, and emotional health? You are a whole person. This is about the whole of YOU.
BREATHE IN - Health
BREATHE OUT - Stress and Anxiety.
Find a place of peace, and go back there, again and again.
Tomorrow?
Wake up Grateful!
Put your feet on the floor, be grateful, and enjoy your “Precious Present.”
Then, work through the Gears, each day, building upon your new and improved habits!
If you go off track? Just be aware, journal your awareness, recognize your misstep, make a new goal and get right back on track.
Refresh yourself and keep close at hand “Dr. Korman’s 5 R’s of Daily Habits” and work to make your new habits STICK!
STAY ON YOUR HEALTHY PATH!
