Today is the third of 3 posts on motivation for 2019.  This final category is ACTIONS.  Here are my top 5 inspiration points in this category for the upcoming year.

Fast from the internet 24 hours once per week.  Reconnect.  We are all guilty of relying too heavily on the internet.  It is so powerful to give everyone your undivided attention for 24 hours!  When I do this, I feel as though I’ve added valuable time to my life!  An important 2019 promise to myself!

Define what wealth and happiness mean to you.  Since we are all different, it only makes sense that wealth and happiness is defined differently by each person.  To experience true contentment, we need to know what we want and not define our happiness on what others may want for us.

Do something kind for someone else daily.  Helping people feels so good.  I always go out of my way to help where I can.  By promising myself this will happen once per day, it ensures no one day will go by without a good deed accomplished!

Give at least one guilt-free hour to relaxation each day.  Do you ever feel guilty when you have some down time?  I do.  Even in my free time I am working on details for a project or taking notes for something coming up or sending work emails.  I am going to try to spend 1 total guilt-free hour to relax each day.  I am hoping to do this as a start to my day.

Check your email and social media at least 60-90 minutes after you wake up.  Often, the first thing I do when I wake up is to check my phone.  I guess it is true that practice puts me in a reactive state for the remainder of the day.  I want to start waking up and putting myself first.  Checking my phone first thing is eliminated from my morning routine for 2019.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are inspired to create some new actions for 2019.

Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie

*Although I have provided 15 inspirational points these last 3 posts, I am doing my best to incorporate 50 into my life going forward.   You can read about all 50 in the article I read online that originally inspired me, titled 50 Ways Happier, Healthier, And More Successful People Live On Their Own Terms by Benjamin P. Hardy.  I have recommended it to everyone close to me to read.   I credit Mr. Hardy for providing a great outlook to live life’s best!  I encourage you to read the article.
