Exercise your mind.
"Exercising" your mind is just as important as strengthening your body. In fact, you can do both at the same time. Some people get bored with their exercise routine, and adding something to keep their mind busy is just the thing to keep them motivated.
The tedium of an exercise routine will bore the mind if it is not inspired on a regular basis. You can exercise your mind through meditation, books on tape, brainstorming, prayer, or socialization (exercising with a friend).
Action for the day: Today, find a way to exercise your mind while you are exercising your body. Plan what you will do with your mind so that boredom doesn't sabotage your exercise.
