This is an episode where I talk about laying the foundation in our life to be able to reach our goals and sustain them once we get there. I discuss the 10 principles that I believe are super important to a solid foundation in your life. Also, I give you the questions I ask myself in regard to each principle.

Principles 1-5 come from this article:

  • Food - How does the food I am eating make my body feel?
  • Water - Am I drinking half my bodyweight in ounces of water every day?
  • Sleep - Am I getting at least 7 hours of sleep? How is the quality of my sleep? Am I going to sleep and waking up around the same time every day?
  • Shelter - Do I have a safe place to live?
  • Clothing - Do I have clothes to wear? How do the clothes that I wear make me feel?

Principles 6 - 10 are principles that I came up with:

  • Mental Health - Am I doing something every day to support my mental health? What are 3 things that I am grateful for that happened today?
  • Movement - Am I moving my body for at least 30 minutes every day?
  • Fun - Have I done something fun today?
  • Connection - Have I connected with anyone today? Who could I reach out to?
  • Environment - Physical clutter is a manifestation of mental clutter. What is one thing that I could tidy up to keep my environment filled with less clutter?

Remember, choose ONE thing to start with when strengthening your foundation. Make one small change at a time. Once you have sustained the one small change, THEN you can build from there.
