... the decisions you make are your decisions. And without checking in with yourself and what you want or need, you’ll find that you start doing your work and living your life for everyone but yourself. That’s not productive, it’s not sustainable, and it’s certainly not fulfilling.

Ask questions to gain awareness of what’s important to you. Then, assess how to implement and prioritize those values in your day and life.

Your well-being affects (and is affected by) those waves through small ripples of self-care and the decisions you make.

Your action plan is your roadmap. It helps you get the wheels in motion, and it steers you toward long-term success: consistent, intentional practice. This is your path to creating and sustaining healthy habits that fuel you to keep going.

Avoid hyper-scheduling yourself so you have free time to do something creative or perhaps to do nothing at all.

...the progress is in the process. The growth is in the doing, and the success is in the longevity.

The first step to creating meaningful change is rooted in inquiry and introspection.

In order to stick with it, you’ve got to choose something you actually want to do and that will work with your schedule and lifestyle.

By clarifying your purpose or motivation...you’re more likely to build productive habits—and stick to them.
