How do you get motivated to do activities again after getting out of a rhythm?
Life happens. Distractions happen. And we get knocked off course super easily.
Sometimes we need a kick-start to get started up again.

Homework
Revisit the Foundation and Organization modules, specifically the “Set Your Activity Goals” Lesson and the “Finding Time for Activities” Lesson. I find this small act of jotting down times you have available so helpful in sticking with it. And our routines and reasons why we do something change over time, so it’s very important to revisit this tool when that happens.

Remember why you want to do activities in the first place. Do you want to help them learn? Do you want to create memories? Create a special bonding time? What is your reason for it? Set a goal for the next week only. Make it a priority to find the time to do 1, 2, 5 activities (however many it is that you want to do).Revisit “Set Your Activity Goals” Lesson
Do simple activities.
Go to the playground. A trip to the library. (Yes, these count and help you get back on track!) Or start with any of our simple activities. A quick go-to list might be helpful to have around.Download Go-To Lists
Find an accountability buddy.
Tell them what you want to do, as well as WHY you want to do it. And report to them what you’re doing. Reciprocate this for them on something they’d like help doing. Head on over to the Members Community and ask for a buddy! Or ask a friend. Feel free to reach out to us as well.Remember to just go easy on yourself.
We all get off track at some point, and some more often than others. It’s the way of life. Just remember your reason why (post it somewhere!) and know that you’re on the right track.
