What can motivate when time is slow and mundane? How do I energize myself to accomplish my goals and stay active when I’m home all day? Here are a few ideas that might help.
Set a timer. At the start of every day, set the timer for twenty minutes to see how much can be accomplished in that short time. It will wake up the body, mind, and set the pace for the rest of the day.
Wear tennis shoes. This one is difficult if there’s a hard and fast rule of no shoes in the house! Wearing tennis shoes all day will make it easier to stay up and moving. It’s also not so hard on the feet.
Brush teeth often. This is especially helpful if the problem is too many little snacks. Brushing after every meal is good for the calorie control and the teeth!
Keep crunchy veggies on hand. They’re a nutritious way to keep chomping away.
Turn on invigorating music. Hey, why not dance while cleaning?
Light candles. They will bring cheer to a cloudy day and make the day feel special.
I like your ideas. Wearing shoes in the house especially if the floors are a hard surface can definitely relieve some of the aches on the feet. I guess in a home with a 'no shoes rule' one could get a pair of indoor only shoes. Maybe some slip ons.
