										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been watching CBS This Morning and they do a segment on it called, Note To Self it&#8217;s a a letter you&#8217;d send to yourself in the past. I like it becasue as they say hindsight is 20/20. This would be a letter you could tell yourself what pitfalls to avoid, relive some great moments, what would you write to yourself&#8217; The segment is really interesting because they have famous people write a letter to themselves in the past giving them advice and they read it on the air.<br />
The one take away I&#8217;d like to give you. You are kind and worthy! Now tell someone else that today.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you think about starting something new &#8212;</p>
<ul>
<li>do you feel excited</li>
<li>do you feel like you are stepping onto a large platform about to dive into shark invested waters</li>
<li>are you one of those folks we are always starting something and not finishing it</li>
<li>are you someone who says you are going to do it and boom it done!</li>
</ul>
<p>2 snaps up to you if you are the later. So many of us struggle with getting start and actually finishing. Today is all about how to keep that moving forward. The biggest reason people fail at creating and sticking to new habits is that they don’t keep doing it. <strong>That seems obvious: if you don’t keep doing a habit, it won’t really become a habit.</strong> So what’s the solution to this obvious problem&#8217; Find a way to keep doing it. When you look at it this way, the key to forming a habit is not how much you do of the habit each day (exercise for 30 minutes, eat 5 meals, etc.), but whether you do it at all. So the key is just getting started. Let me emphasize that: <strong>the key to forming a habit is starting each day</strong>. What do I mean by starting&#8217; If you want to form the habit of meditation, just park your tushy down in a quiet area each day. If you want to form the habit of running, just lace up your shoes and get out the door. If you want to form the habit of writing, just sit down, you can write it out long hand or type on your computer. <strong>Form the habit of starting, and you’ll get good at forming habits.</strong></p>
<h3>Easier Said Then Done &#8212; How Do You Get Started&#8217;</h3>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What happens when you wake up and don’t feel like doing yoga or heading to your cycle class&#8217; Let’s first take a look at why you don’t feel like starting. It’s usually for one or both of these reasons:</span></p>
<ol>
<li>You are comfortable with what you’re doing (doing something online, sleeping, just sitting down =)), and the habit you&#8217;d like to start  it’s too hard &#8211; aka not comfortable. We cling to the comfortable. We love our comfort zone!!!</li>
<li>It’s too difficult to get started — to do the habit, you have to buy stuff or find someone who will help or teach you, or drive 20 minutes to the gym, or go get a bunch of ingredients, etc. &#8212; This is when the excuse monster rears its ugly head.</li>
</ol>
<p>Those are the main two reasons, and really they’re the same thing. <strong>So the solution is to make it easier and more comfortable to do the habit, and easier to get started. </strong>Some ways to do that:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Focus on the smallest thing</strong> <strong>— just getting started. You</strong> don’t have to do even 5 minutes — just start. That’s so easy it’s hard to say no.</li>
<li><strong>Prepare everything you need to get started earlier. </strong>So if you need some equipment, get it ready well before you have to start, like the evening before, or in the morning if you have to do it in the afternoon, or at least an hour before. Then when it’s time to start, there is no barrier.
<ul>
<li>I lay out my gym clothes the night before so all I need to do is put them on my body.</li>
<li>I make my shopping list on Friday night and head to the grocery store on Saturday afternoon so I have food in the house for the week.</li>
<li>I put my workouts in my calendar weekly so I know when I&#8217;m working out.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Make the habit something you can do where you are, instead of having to drive there.</strong>
<ul>
<li>Can you buy videos and do workouts at home</li>
<li>Can you pull out your ipod and just dance for 20 minutes</li>
<li>Can you grab stuff out of your cupboard and make a new recipe&#8217;</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If you have to drive or walk somewhere, <strong>have someone meet you there</strong>. Then you’re less likely to stay home (or at work), and more likely to go — and going there is the same thing as getting started. This works because you’re making it less comfortable to not start — the idea of leaving a friend waiting for you at the gym or park is not a comfortable one.
<ul>
<li>I recently started going to a <a title="I’m So Fly!!" href="http://kimbarnesjefferson.com/fly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">cycle studio</a> where if I don&#8217;t cancel the night before I lose my money.</li>
<li>Sign up for personal training sessions</li>
<li>Work with a <a title="Services" href="http://kimbarnesjefferson.com/how-i-help/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">coach on accountability</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Tell people you’re going to do the habit</strong> of starting your habit every day for 30 days. Having this kind of accountability motivates you to get started, and makes it less comfortable not to start.
<ul>
<li>This is the main reason why I started this challenge to help you get moving on a goal you may have been putting off.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Start with the easiest version of the habit</strong>, so that it’s easy to start. For example, if you want to form the habit of reading, don’t start with War and Peace, but with the Shopaholic Series or whoever you find fun and easy to read. If you want to start yoga, don’t start with a head to a 90 min power yoga, head to a 60 min to class or find a website that shows you a few salutations.</li>
</ul>
<p>Make it as easy as possible to start, and hard to not start. Tell yourself that all you have to do is lace up your shoes and get out the door, and you’ll have a hard time saying no. Once you’ve started, you’ll feel good and probably want to continue (though that’s not a necessity). Learn to love that moment of brilliance, and your habit troubles fade like the night.</p>
<p><strong>Today&#8217;s assignment </strong></p>
<p><strong>Pick 2 of the starters that you could do to help you get started with one of your goals.</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s no secret that we feel better when we get a good night&#8217;s sleep.  Tossing and turning all night, or simply hitting the sack too late, can leave us feeling un-energetic and grouchy the following day.  An adequate amount of restful sleep, on the other hand, makes us more alert and improves our mood. But a good night&#8217;s sleep has a lot more benefits than that.  It can <a href="http://kimbarnesjefferson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/j0408908.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-187" alt="Sleeping" src="http://kimbarnesjefferson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/j0408908.jpg" width="423" height="259" /></a>improve our mental and physical health in several ways.  Here are some of the reasons we should strive to get enough sleep each and every night.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Getting enough sleep is good for your heart.</strong>  Our hearts slow down when we&#8217;re sleeping, so it stands to reason that not getting the sleep we need makes our hearts work harder for longer than intended during the course of a day.  Lack of sleep can also be linked to higher blood pressure and cholesterol, both of which are bad for the heart.</li>
<li><strong>Sleep helps us fight disease and infection.</strong>  As we sleep, our bodies produce more of the hormones that aid the immune system, such as melatonin and cortisol.  These hormones can help prevent cell damage that leads to cancer, and they help fight off germs that cause colds, the flu, and infections.</li>
<li><strong>Long-term memories are formed during sleep.</strong>  So when we get a good night&#8217;s sleep, we are giving our brains time to store more information away for later reference.  If you are suffering from forgetfulness, try getting a little more sleep.  Chances are, it will help.</li>
<li><strong>Adequate amounts of sleep can help us maintain a healthy weight. </strong> Studies have shown that those who sleep less than 7 to 8 hours a night are more likely to be overweight.  This is believed to be due in part to lower levels of leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite, and higher levels of ghrelin, a hormone that simulates hunger.</li>
<li><strong>Getting the sleep you need can help ward off depression</strong>.  One of the contributing factors in depression is serotonin deficiency, which often occurs in those who do not get enough sleep.</li>
<li><strong>Sleep is the time when our bodies repair themselves.</strong>  They create new cells to replace those that have been damaged during the waking hours.  This is one of the keys to good health.</li>
</ol>
<p>Getting a good night&#8217;s sleep can help us be more productive, happier and healthier.  It gives our bodies a chance to produce hormones that we need and regenerate itself, and our brains a chance to file away the things we need to remember.  Getting enough sleep each night is one of the most effortless, yet most important, things we can do to keep our bodies functioning as they should. Here are some tips for getting a good night&#8217;s sleep.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Set a bed time</strong> &#8212; I know are over 9 years old, but I have a bed time. I typically get up most days at 5:30am and if I don&#8217;t have a bed time I would be a let&#8217;s just say you might not like me. =)</li>
<li><strong>Don&#8217;t eat to close to bed time</strong> &#8212; You don&#8217;t want to be full before you go bed. You want to stop eating 2-3 hours before bed.</li>
<li><strong>Have a ritual</strong> &#8212; I&#8217;m typically lights out at 10pm. At 9pm I&#8217;m in bed reading to help quiet my mind. If I find that I can&#8217;t shut down my brain I will grab a notebook that I keep my bed and write what&#8217;s on my mind so it gets out of my head. When it&#8217;s winter, I cozy up in bed with a nice mug of tea.</li>
<li><strong>How&#8217;s your bedroom</strong> &#8212; Is it too warm, too cold, is your mattress comfortable, do you have comfy pillows&#8217; Make your bedroom a little sanctuary.</li>
<li><strong>Wake up at the same time every day</strong> &#8212; I know that some of you work varying shifts so I know that it&#8217;s tough, but try your best to get the same number of hours of sleep. I ask that you strive for at least 7 hours of sleep/night.</li>
<li><strong>Get the electronics out of the bedroom</strong> &#8212; that means no TV or cell phones. Your bedroom should be just for sleeping and umm.. sex.</li>
<li><strong>Avoid stimulants to close to bed</strong> &#8212; that means both coffee and a<a href="http://kimbarnesjefferson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/BrainSleep_300x300.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2101" alt="BrainSleep_300x300" src="http://kimbarnesjefferson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/BrainSleep_300x300.png" width="227" height="227" srcset="https://kimbarnesjefferson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/BrainSleep_300x300.png 300w, https://kimbarnesjefferson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/BrainSleep_300x300-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px" /></a>s well as alcohol. Both could cause you not to sleep.</li>
<li><strong>Sleeping pills</strong> &#8212; this is between you and your doctor. If you really struggling with sleep and doing all of the above and more check with your doctor. I&#8217;m a pretty good sleeper, but during certain times of the month I struggle with sleep. During that time of the month I use a <a href="http://kimjefferson.isagenix.com/us/en/brainsleepsystem.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sleep spray</a>. It helps me fall asleep and stay asleep.</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This summer I was watching the highlights of the ESPYs for my non sports folks, the ESPYs are like the Ocars for all sports. Every year they have the Arthur Ashe Award and this year Robin Roberts from Good Morning America won the award. I listened to her speech and was so moved I wanted to share it with you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/L5AG3dVMwhw'rel=0" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>After watching this speech I&#8217;m left with this as a mantra &#8212; This to shall pass. I say it whenever I feel I&#8217;m facing a big challenge or I&#8217;m feeling overwhelmed. I take a deep breath and say This to shall pass. Can you adopt this as your mantra when you feel overwhelmed, what could you say when you are feeling overwhelmed or even a little discouraged.</p>
<p>I strongly believe with belief in yourself and the process, you can preserve.  One of the lines from Robin&#8217;s speech that I love is &#8220;let faith answer the door&#8221;.  Please don&#8217;t take this to be religious I think faith in oneself is just as important as faith in a higher power.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also a big believer in theme songs. My theme changes every year and right now I have two that have helped me through some tough spots.</p>
<p><a href="http://youtu.be/vyeoW4ifNik" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Everybody&#8217;s Got Their Something</a></p>
<p><a href="http://youtu.be/JRfuAukYTKg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Titanium </a></p>
<p><strong>Today&#8217;s challenge </strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>When things get tough where will you find your strength&#8217; What will be your mantra&#8217; Do you have someone you can reach out to that can give you a pep talk &#8216;</strong></li>
<li><strong>What will be your theme song&#8221;</strong></li>
</ol>
