- Start your day earlier.
There are numerous benefits to arriving at work early. For me it all comes down to being mentally prepared and starting my day peacefully, well-fed, and fully awake. - Plan your weekly menu around Superfoods.
These so-called Superfoods are believed to lower your cholesterol, ward off disease, improve your appearance and even make you feel better. When I’m creating my grocery list I make it a point to get as many of these as I can: Beans, Blueberries, Broccoli, Oats, Oranges, Pumpkin, Salmon, Soy, Spinach, Tea, Tomatoes, Turkey, Walnuts, Yogurt. These are all delicious (in my opinion) and it’s not at all difficult to plan meals around them. You could plan a menu for one day that contains every one if you so desired:Breakfast: oatmeal, yogurt with blueberries, and a cup of tea.
Lunch: a turkey sandwich with fresh spinach and tomatoes, a cup of bean soup, followed by an orange.
Snack: a handful of walnuts with a glass of soy milk.
Dinner: grilled salmon with steamed broccoli and pumpkin pie for dessert. - Remove a money drain.
Identify one thing you buy regularly that you don’t really need and live without it for a week. It might be Starbucks, going out to lunch, renting movies, or clothes shopping. Add up how much you saved at the end of the week and put it in your savings account or envelope for a rainy day. - Re-establish contact with an old friend.
In the fast-paced, individualistic world in which we live it’s very easy to fall out of touch with friends whose paths have diverged from our own. Give someone a call or email and let the friend know that you’re still around and interested. - Get Ready for Memory Month.
I’m writing articles like mad. Are you ready? 30 days, 30 articles on remembering names, faces, phone numbers, playing cards, grocery lists, and just about anything else you need to recall. And there are still a few days to get in on the book giveaway.
