Primary Focus:

My focus is to de-clutter and organize my schedule of activities. To practice positivity in order to minimize (if not totally remove) stress. Be able to make time for God, my family, myself, and still be able to give back and/or volunteer to do charity works for the community.

Habits I want to do:

Light Exercise (Yoga, Stretching, 7-Minute Workout)
Meditation (Headspace)
Journaling
Reading
Gratitude/Affirmations
Learn New Things
Watch or listen to inspirational videos/audios
Make time to write new songs/poems/create artworks
Give back to community/help unfortunate ones

Daily Focus (60 Minutes):

Monday Reflection:

Pray the Holy Rosary for 30 minutes. Read an inspirational book/listen to an inspirational podcast/TED talk for 15 minutes. Write down my take-away from the inspiring book/audio. What I have learned and how to apply it in my life/self for another 15 minutes.

Tuesday Exercise:

Do yoga and/or stretching, light exercise.

Wednesday Reading:

Read a good book. Books stored on my bookshelf for years/months waiting to be read.

Thursday Skills:

Learn something new from Skillshare or YouTube for 30 minutes. Create a new artwork or try to write a song again for another 30 minutes.
