Enjoy a week of planned Bliss – in just 15 minutes!

On Sunday find 15 minutes to jot down your week and be amazed how things will go much more smoothly.  Key things to consider for your health & wellbeing:
·         Meals for the week – start with planning your dinners & if your super keen include lunches, snacks and breakfasts!  This is one chore I enjoy sharing with my partner, so everyone can have some imput.  Be creative and try adding a new dish making use of your recipe books .  The beauty of this is that it doesn’t just mean you save yourself the dreaded question “What are we going to have for dinner?” also saves you money as you already have a set list of what you need for each meal.  Best of all you are likely to end up with left overs so no need to have to cook every night .

·         Groceries List -  after having your meals sorted check through your pantry & fridge to see what extras you need to pick up. 

·         Exercise Time  - setting this up as a regular part of your routine will ultimately have you feeling better mentally & physically.  Find 2-3 times per week to dedicate to exercise – classes you love and enjoy like pilates or even something as simple as a walk in the park, or factoring in stretching as you wakeup, a set of pushups & set of ab work are great to kickstart your day.  Finding a trained instructor that can help ensure your performing exercises correctly and that can continue to progress the exercises to suit your level as your fitness improves is key to ensuring you get the results you want and motivate you to achieve the best you can.

·         To Dos / Activities for week  - errands & tasks you need to get done this week.  Sometimes I think I can fit more in than I really can, so prioritise the must do’s and the nice to do’s.  Don’t forget to factor in a little “me” time into this planning whether this be a coffee with friends, seeing a movie night or a relaxing massage its always great to have something to look forward to.
