1. Accept change, embrace it, respect it. Change is what makes us, what made us, and what will end us.
2. Set goals. Short and long, at least one of each. Short term goals can be minutes or days or weeks from now. Long term goals can be weeks to years from now. Just keep on setting them, achieving them, and resetting them.
3. Have numerous game plans for these goals. You've heard people say plan A, plan B, plan C...let this be you. This is where you can stay ahead of possible changes, obstacles, life's curveballs. Go with the flow, bc there's always a plan B, or C, etc.
4. Have priorities, make the healthiest ones for yourself (you are priority otherwise all else suffers). For example, one of my top priorities each day is to fit in a workout. I used to live in a gym as a trainer and was able to workout with only an hour break (including a shower, at the gym), so now I have to find time to drive to the gym, shower, etc. but I either wake up early and workout, as long as I get to bed on time, as sleep is another priority, or I bring gym clothes and head straight to my Crossfit box or gym after work, before I get home. Because I have picked my workout as a healthy priority, the rest of my balancing acts fall into a better placement, easier. So I organize my sleep around the workout. I fit my food into a schedule around my workout (so I eat a larger meal 2-3 hours before and a protein carb shake or meal within 45 min after). I then choose healthier food, more organized sleep hours, and really, it just becomes easier once you pick your priority. Just make it healthy.
5. Don't stress if it doesn't workout. There's always tomorrow. Just don't wait for the day after tomorrow, that's when either yin or yang becomes stronger than the other, causing too much of an imbalance...and in Chinese medicine, this is what causes dis-ease.
