There are many things we do on a daily basis to live our lives to the fullest. That means eating healthy foods, exercising our bodies, getting sufficient sleep, working on our relationships, engaging in meaningful work, and of course, bathing!

I’d like to suggest that, in addition to taking our usual vitamin supplements, we get an extra dose of vitamin “M” – Motivation – to help us be our very best.

Exercise:

Select and engage in a variety of motivational resources – such as empowering books, CDs, videos, and of course powerful quotes – on a daily basis, to keep you fully engaged and to keep your attitude in top condition.

Select at least one motivating idea or concept and share it with others in your personal and professional life to enhance their days.

Time management is one of the top priorities for people entering a coaching relationship. We all have 24 hours a day, which would seemingly put us all on a level playing field. Zig Ziglar suggests that some of us simply make far better use of our resources – in this example, time – than others.

Think of time as a currency, where certain activities are worth nothing, some are worth a little, and others are worth a lot.

Exercise:

What differences can you make today in how you spend your time?

Which resources – other than time – can you use more fully to make a bigger difference with your days? Consider love, creativity, energy, and even money as possible resources to explore.
