things I do daily to be successful

Recently my husband Jeff pointed out an interesting blog post to me on the things we do in life to be successful. The idea was for bloggers to write a post about the 5 - 10 things they do daily to be successful. The end result is a wonderful compilation list of the many things people do to be successful.

Now, I know I'm a little late in the game, but here is my list (in no particular order):

1. Spend time with people important to me. I spend time with my husband learning and growing together and even though my best friend lives across the country we talk on the phone regularly to encourage one another.

2. Allow myself "down time" to rest and rejuvenate. Because my job can be pretty intensive emotionally I give myself time each day to nurture myself and rest. I am a big believer in the importance of rest.

3. Read. I love to read and I read daily. Reading not only allows me relaxation time, but I am constantly learning and experiencing new things through the books and characters I spend time with.

4. Journal/meditate/pray. I combined these into one because that is how they work in my life. When I don't take the time for these things I find myself acting much less than the person I want to be.

5. Take care of my body. This includes things like getting enough sleep, going for walks, drinking a lot of water, eating fruits and veggies, and taking vitamins.
