Before the beginning of the year, I sat down and figured out my goals for 2020. Just like I said I was going to do in Goal Setting: What happened in 2019, I limited them to three and emphasized action over achievement. I even went as far as to study James Clear’s Atomic Habits to help me overcome…

Typically, our day begins at the time we get out of bed. For some, this might be early in the morning, and for others, it will be later in the day. It all depends on our schedules, but universally this is the start of the day, and it should begin with a routine–a morning routine. …

There are no fees, other than the occasional bombardment of text messages. So, it’s simple and basic. We post a workout,…

Have you ever had a feeling of being lost as you wondered through your day? You wake up, get dressed, make breakfast, and walk out the door to go to work. The day starts the same as any other, and it goes nowhere different fast!

If so, define a life purpose and start to enjoy life.

Goal Setting, sometimes I wonder if it is an exercise in futility. At the end of last year, I sat down and formulated seven specific goals. They ranged from spiritual goals–pray a decade of the Rosary every morning–to a host of fitness goals. I categorized them into two groups, habit or achievement. I even went…
