Day 8

Shake a Stale Feeling

Smoking, dipping, vaping, or whatever habit you left behind may have given you something to do when you were bored. Perhaps it filled the gap between activities and responsibilities.

In the next ten minutes, pick one of the following to do:

*  Get up and move. Stretch, go for a short walk, do bodyweight squats, or walk up and down a flight of stairs.

*  Get a drink of water.

*  Eat a healthy snack, if you are hungry.

*  Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. The next few moments belong to you.

*  Call a friend or write a card.

*  Find something funny and laugh.

A few minutes may seem like a really small part of your life. However, success is built on what you do in short amounts of time-or right now. Don’t take the present for granted.

Today’s Affirmation:

I choose my own adventure, even in the small parts of the day.
