Quotes + Links + Resources From This Episode:

• Routine: a sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program. Or something preformed as part of a regular procedure.

• Your daily routine influences your quality of life. It ensures that the important things are accounted for every day.

• How to start a new routine:

  1.    Decide what needs to be in your routine. This will be what you feel like you need more of in your life.

  2.    Set small goals. Break each large goal into smaller goals.

  3.    Make a plan

  4.    Be consistent

  5.    Be prepared. When good is present, evil is also. Prepare for setbacks, and don’t get discourage. Push on my friend.

  6.    Track your progress. Motivation comes when you see how far I have come. The best way to look back at your path is with reflection.

  7. Reward yourself. Once you hit a goal reward yourself with something you love.

• There are no perfect routines, you may need to change things around until you find what works for you. Don’t be afraid to change something that isn’t working. It is better to change it than feel forced to make it work.

• Work with your natural rhythms. Keep things simple by paying attention to what feels natural and easy for you.

• Find a rhythm that feels right for you. This will help you work your routine, instead of your routine working you.

• For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.  – 2 Timothy 1:7

• Let all your things be done with charity. – 1 Corinthians 16:14
