anything except for your state of
mind. Get out of your own head, say
‘cheers’ and move on with the life
you're living.
Bonus Tip: Have a back-up plan. Miss
the gym this morning? What can you
do instead?

done by you and will only happen
when you make them happen. Don’t
test the waters or invite potential risk
in your life. Get ahead of the game as
much as you can and schedule them.

most challenging task out of the
