Remembering a success and capturing it in a word or a phrase is a great way to remind yourself. The message will instantly connect you with the feeling of success in the past and help you do, what you need to do to re-create it today. Enjoy! Excellent idea!

Keep it up! You deserve to relax! From experience visual reminders work well for most people. What catches our eye, catches our attention. Give it a try!

Seeing them on my desk has been an invaluable reminder to actually take a few minutes of time for me. They have helped me restore and maintain balance in my busy day and put a smile on my face each time. I like having Julia’s encouraging Post-it notes around.

For example, I went for a difficult uphill run and was so tired after that I stumbled, all sweating, off the treadmill. When I got in my car I remembered seeing the blue sky and sun and thought about how this endorfin high I was having was making the world look so clear and beautiful. I knew my perceptions were altered by the experience of a good workout and thought to myself... "now this is why I love to do this" A good sign to motivate me to do this every day might read : "Remember the endorfin rush" how about a sign that specifically reminds you of a specific pleasant result that you had in the past that you want to make into a habit.
