QUOTE: "Look well into yourself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if you will always look there. ~ Marcus Aurelius

Prompt: Increasing your stamina makes you feel like you can conquer the world! And if your energy is low, working on your stamina can help boost you out of that doldrum.

Plan an exercise regimen to add some more pep to your step, or if you already have one, list ways to increase the intensity incrementally while you reduce your recovery time between sets of exercises.

QUOTE:" Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature can
not do without." ~Confucius

Prompt: Head over to a music store and try out some instruments. If you vibe with any, consider buying a used one or renting one to learn on. Picking up a new instrument is incredibly fun and gratifying , and it keeps your mind sharp.

What instrument do you vibe with?And what was the experience like?

QUOTE: "There is nothing which I can esteem more highly than...appearing grateful." ~Cicero

Prompt: The final step in learning to ask for help is figuring out how to be clear and gracious when you approach people.

Explain exactly what you need to have done, step-by-step if necessary.
Also, say why you need the help and how grateful you are for it.

By thoughtfully making the request, you'll impress upon people how vital their help is and how much you need and appreciate it.

You can practice what you'd like to say here.

QUOTE: "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs."
~Henry Ford

ACT: The next step in learning to ask for help is figuring out how best to delegate the work you need help with so that you dont overburden someone else.

If you divide up what needs to be done among enough people, you make it easy for everyone.

For instance, if you assign one chore to each member of your family instead of asking your spouse to take them all on, housework becomes lighter all around.

What chores and tasks can you think of that you could ask others to help with? Who is best suited to each of them?

Our new year starts with every day being about self care, so get out a journal and let's begin.

QUOTE: " Light is the task where many share the toil." ~Homer

ACT: Making sure you are not overburdened is a critical aspect of self-care and, therefore, of the care you take with all things in your life.

Asking for help can seem like a chore in itself, or maybe even an admission of failure, but with a little practice, you can find the piece of mind that comes with taking some of the weight off your shoulders without feeling like your crushing, someone else.

This starts with recognizing how much help you give to others, so begin by listing the people in your life - family, friends , coworker- and the thing's you've helped them with.

QUOTE: "To be able to fill leisure intelligently will be the last product of an intelligent civilization."
~ Bertrand Russell

ACT: Getting sucked into social media rabbit holes can rob you of leisure time that could be spent pursuing a hobby , meditating, or pampering yourself.

The next time you find yourself mindlessly scrolling, count down from three, and then get up and do something great for yourself.

What are you going to fill that once wasted time with?

QUOTE: " He sang words without sense, but their tone went to his heart."~ Johann Paul Friedrich Richter

Make a plan to leave your inhibitions at home and go sing some karaoke with friends or even better..go by yourself.

What tunes would you sing?
How would it feel to let loose?

QUOTE: " The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation."
~Aristotle

To deepen your mindfulness practice, try this simple exercise: Hold your hand out in front of you, palm down. Clench your fingers and thumb into a fist and turn your hand over.

Now close your eyes and breathe deeply.
Imagine your breath going into your hand, concentrating your awareness there.

How do you feel about the experience?

REFLECTION: Feeling like you're part of a community gives you a sense of fulfillment and belonging.

ACT: Look up some community events in your area. You can check the library for readings or the historical society for lectures; you can even attend a town meeting.

List some upcoming events in your area and leave room to write about your experiences of attending them.

QUOTE: " Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life."
~ Sophia Loren

REFLECTION: Even though we all know that no one is perfect, we often are very hard on ourselves, beating ourselves up over mistakes and revisiting those bad memories over and over.

Letting go of past mistakes is an excellent way to exercise self-acceptance, love, and care.

What mistakes are you holding on to in your memory? In your heart?

ACT: Write them down; let them go.

QUOTE: " Why meditate? To live in the moment. To dwell in the harmony of things."~Ram Dass

ACT: Meditation is so worthwhile, but it can be challenging at first since it's easy to be tempted into easier,
"mindless" activities like scrolling through social media.

Make your device work for you instead. There are lots of apps out there to help you get into the groove.

Try one out.

How did you feel during? And after the meditation?

QUOTE: "Better to light a candle than to curse the dark."
~ Willam L. Watkinson

ACT: For a simple and soothing meditation experience, set a candle out in front of a place where you can sit comfortably.

Light the candle and stare into the flame. Try to focus your thoughts on the fire, and when other thoughts come to you, allow them to leave as easily as they came.

Did your meditation differ at all from yesterday's sessions? In any way?
