7 TIPS TO HELP PREPARE FOR THE WEEK AHEAD

Do you feel it? The days are starting to get longer and the temperatures are starting to rise slowly with the promise of spring is near. Spring is my favourite time of year. I get to celebrate both my daughter's birthday's and look forward to celebrating two weddings over the coming months. Lucky me.

The anticipation of Spring makes me so happy as the promise of warmer weather and longer days ahead. I like to start a fresh routine as I am an early riser and I like to change my routine to (hopefully) include a little exercise. To transition into the new season I like to -

Check to do's and plan the days ahead 
I try to make sure I have most things done by the weekend and that way I have a free weekend to do all that I care to do.

Pay attention to your body 
Try and sleep 6-8 hours and tick to a regular wake and sleep schedule to keep your body in rhythm. If your body is showing signs then listen to them and take a break.

Relax
Switch off and unwind at the end of everyday to just be. Relax and enjoy the FREE time doing what you love. Read, go for a walk, preferred form of exercise I like to ride my pushbike and to sit in the sun. 

Keep in schedule
Try not to overbook yourself and keep your to do lists simple and on task to achieve and tick off as you go. Write a list of what you have accomplished so you have it there to see what can be achieved.

Plan your week
Write a grocery list, a meal plan anything to make the working week ahead easier. I always iron on Sunday's regardless of what lies ahead that way I am free of one household chore.

Tick off the harder or longer tasks first
If you can complete the harder or more in depth tasks first then that will leave for an easier afternoon. If you can be more productive earlier then that will lift your confidence for the further tasks ahead.

Dress to impress yourself
Take the time to dress comfortably and be aware of how you are feeling, if you are not happy or comfortable then change until you are.

Is there anything you would like to add to the list?
