Taking Care of your body in everyway.

I find that it's very important not to just try to make it to the gym and eat right daily, but to really take care of yourself. Wake an extra 10 minutes earlier in the morning to give you time to do something you don't usually do. Be it curling/straightening your hair, or putting on makeup. I find that I feel better about myself when I give myself time to look nice, and it really helps motivate me to stay on track. I see that good lookin' person in the mirror and think. Hey, I can do this.

    I would prolly feel good about myself if I did that... but frankly those 10 extra mins of sleep are pretty nice too ;)

    lol, but yes, I agree- taking the extra time to do just 1 small thing to "spruce" yourself up does give you a nice ego boost through the day :)

    How about go to bed about 3 hours earlier so that 10 minutes doesn't feel so vital to your survival lol? Being well rested is a HUGE factor in good health, possibly my most difficult one to conquer.

    I agree.

    I even started making my own cleaning supplies the majority of the time and when I do purchase any I use Method products because they are all natural and better for the environment.

    I also started growing live plants and redecorating my house just because I feel it reflects the new me.

    And even though I do IT work on a construction site I take the time to still do my hair and makeup.
