We all know exercise is important but with our busy schedules we all have made the excuse of “I don’t have time to workout.” I want to give you a few simple steps to help you to not only exercise, but help you to find success at the same time.

Get up each day and physically move, going outside your house and starting with a walk to warm up your body. This will also help to awaken your metabolism. The intent is to move and breathe and to start your day with fresh ideas.

Walk for 15 minutes and during this time think about everything you are grateful for. Start with yourself and include your family, friends, business associates, and those special moments in your life. Visualize what you want in your life. Do so with the feeling of already having it. Your brain can’t tell the difference between something you imagine and something you actually experience; whatever you focus on, you’ll move toward.

Now focus on what you want today. What do you want to make happen? What do you want to do, achieve or accomplish? Visualize it happening the way you want it. Talk about it out loud. Speaking engages your physiology and conditions the ideas into your mind.

Make this a daily ritual. You will be surprised how your 15 minutes can turn into 30 minutes or more and how much more focused you will be, both mentally and physically. Remember: Energy flows where focus goes!
