Physical Fitness is one of my

greatest priorities
Physical fitness is one of my greatest priorities. I like
how my body feels and looks when I am in good
physical shape. I know that I can continue to
achieve these great results when I stick to my
workout regimen. I make it a point to reserve
some time each day to exercise. My body
responds well when I give it what it needs. On
days when I need to wake up extra early, I fit a
workout into the earlier part of the day. That
allows me to relax at the end of a long day. My
mind is sharper when I allow myself to
participate in fitness activities. I work more
efficiently when I exercise. Plus, I am more
pleasant and accommodating when I make time
in the day to stay in shape. When I commit to
physical fitness, I know I am contributing to my
health. I appreciate the benefits that exercise
offers to my overall well-being and am dedicated
to maintaining that state. I recognize that my
body needs to be in good shape for me to
perform at my best, whether as a leader at my
workplace or at home in my personal life.
Working out keeps me fit and active so I remain
effective. Today, I remind myself of how much
more successful I am when I keep my body in
shape. I am a happier person when exercise is a
regular part of my daily routine.

Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Do I alternate my workouts to prevent boredom?

2. Do I stress the importance of exercise to my

growing kids?

physical renewal?

WORKOUT
 SMILING ENHANCES COMMUNICATION

Smiling Enhances Communication

Smiling enhances our communication. A smile says a
thousand words. We receive a better reception from
others when we first greet them with a smile.
Admittedly, some conversations are difficult. It is
challenging to reprimand people, especially when they
are doing their best. But when it is my responsibility to
correct someone, I start the discussion with a smile.
When I release that beam, it signals that my
expressions are coming from a sincere place. Breaking
down that barrier allows communication to be more
effective. My interactions with strangers on the street
also begin with a smile and a warm greeting. There are
times when people need that smile. I take the time to
let them know that someone cares about them. When
I am called to do presentations, the crowd can be
intimidating. I remind myself to smile as I deliver my
initial greeting. A smile helps me to remain calm,
especially when I see others smiling back at me. It also
helps others to know that I am approachable and easy
to talk to. My question and answer sessions are
successful because I start with that openness. Today, I
acknowledge the remarkable benefit that comes from
having a pleasant demeanor. My ongoing
commitment is to smile with each person I encounter.
Taking that route to kinship helps to make the world a
better place.

Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How do I respond when my smile is met with anger or
disdain?

2. Which situations make it more difficult for a mere

smile to break the barrier?

3. What other strategies can I use to let others feel

comfortable enough to talk to me?
 MINDFUL TIPS TO MINIMIZE STRESS

MINIMIZING STRESS
I am calm and collected. I look on the bright side. I view
challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. I focus on
solutions. I notice the pleasant things that happen each
day and cultivate a sense of gratitude. I slow down. I take
refreshing breaks while I am working. I tackle one task at
a time. I make deliberate choices rather than rushing
around. I shorten my to-do list. I establish priorities that
align with my values. I manage my time and set realistic
expectations for myself. I get plenty of rest. Adequate sleep
makes me more resilient. I go to bed early and wake up
feeling alert and eager to start my day. I work out.
Physical activity strengthens my body and mind. A trip to
the gym or a game of tennis lifts my spirits and soothes
my senses. I reach out for support. I talk about my
feelings and experiences with family and friends. I
consider counseling if I need additional resources. I help
others. Sharing my blessings builds my confidence and
brightens my perspective. I feel more connected. My
troubles seem less overwhelming. I find comfort in my
faith. I cherish myself and others. I recognize my power
and purpose. I remember that hardships are temporary.
The world seems like a friendlier place when I take care of
my spiritual wellbeing. Today, I cope with daily pressures
constructively. I manage stress by making positive
changes in my attitude and environment.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How has the pandemic affected my stress levels?

2. How can I help my children to deal with stress?

3. What is one new relaxation technique I want to try?
