"Set It and Forget It"

If you don't enjoy Ron Popeil, you must not know enough about him.  He is an amazing entrepreneur, a brilliant marketer, and compels me to (almost) buy everything he sells.

With our worries, we need to take the same approach that he has with his rotisserie chicken, "set it and forget it".  Constant worry about a situation helps nothing.  It's actually detrimental.  

Worried about retirement?  Meet with a trusted independent fiduciary advisor.  In addition, set up a plan to automatically add as much as you can to the principal of your mortgage (if you have one), or add an additional amount to your 401K, and let it go.  I set up a small extra weekly payment to go to my mortgage.  It's not enough to hurt, and it's effortless.  Note:  when you make a contribution beyond what is necessary, you will feel better about it, it's a mind "hack".   When you start to agonize about your debt, your mind will remember your extra efforts which leads to mental relief.
                                               

Want a healthier body?  Increase consumption of fresh vegetables or an organic veggie powder that you can add to a smoothie; schedule and commit to exercise; and let your body recreate itself over time.  I set up an automatic shipment of my organic (chocolate) veggie powder so I don't have to worry about running to the store to stay healthy.  I just began adding a tablespoon of organic whole husk psyllium, too.  Yes, there are methods that lead to faster results, but I decided to focus on my long-term health instead of eliminating foods I love.  I'm a foodie:)

Worried about not spending enough time with your kids?  Schedule mandatory family dinners and keep it light.  It's easy to add recurring appointments to our family calendars.  The beginning is about bonding and unconditional love; the heavier stuff has to come after bonding unless deans or law enforcement are involved.....

What if we all collectively decided to take action, release our worries, and be proud of how far we have come, without dwelling on the bad things that have occurred?  It's all about keeping our focus on the silver linings, baby!!  

"But wait, there's more!!"  We all can make our lives easier than they currently are.  Why don't you?  It takes effort in the beginning, yes; but the ripple effect of these changes are worth it.  That is what taking control of our lives is all about!

Have a wonderful day!!
