Do your days usually unfold in response to your circumstances? Are you missing a time management formula that makes it possible for you to do everything you need to do - especially the activities that are good for you? Would you be interested to know how other folks who successfully completed Henry Jones's healing and wellness Challenges planned their days?
Hello there, champion of true wellness...
IN THE MORNINGS:
Each day is a new day to a wise person. Wake up early and get a good start to your day. Celebrate the dawn. Give thanks - you're alive.
1) Meet The Sunrise.
Start each day by waking up to see the sunrise. You’ll need discipline here. But hey, that’s a good thing. You can’t be your true-self without discipline. It's the most essential value to have on a healing and wellness journey.
2) Have A Morning Tonic.
The very first thing you should do is make a morning tonic. Drink a mug of warm (not boiling) water with a tablespoon of lemon juice (honey optional). Not only is lemon and water alkalizing and therefore good for your body, but it puts you on the right trajectory for the day. Try it for a few days, and then you’ll know what we mean. This is your first conscious and deliberate act from your true-self to promote healing in your body. It's therefore very important.
3) Review Your Day Plan.
Next, sit down with your morning tonic and your Workbook and look over your plans for the day. It’s important to combine these two activities. You’ll soon develop a mental program that makes a connection between your morning tonic and the Workbook. This anchors your morning meditation. It’s an essential habit to cultivate on your healing or wellness journey. Read your Workbook, and meditate on the day ahead.
4) Soak Up Sunshine.
Let soft sunlight (or natural light) shine on your eyelids for 5–10 minutes to soak up Vitamin D. Center yourself and do breathing exercises. This is another act from your true-self for your true-self in order to promote health and healing. Getting into this habit is one of the most pleasurable things you can do. Trust us: You'll come to treasure these moments.
5) Stretch Your Body.
Stretch your body for 15 minutes or longer. It's very beneficial for you to open your neural pathways, loosen up, do mild exercise, and focus inward in the early mornings.

Don't Make Excuses!
In case you're thinking you won't have time in the mornings to do these activities, you're wrong!
There is always time. Just wake up earlier! You'll only need an hour or so to connect with your true-self and promote health in the morning. But, the huge benefits you'll receive will make it worth your while. Promise!

IN THE DAY TIME:
Let your days be filled with activities that reinforce your desire to be your true-self, heal your body, and enjoy radiant health and vitality every day for the rest of your life. The activities are anchors. They'll also be the mainstays of your new, improved lifestyle.
1) Stick To Your Plan.
Do the activities you scheduled in your Workbook throughout the day. Keep checking in on your day plan. Do your best to stick to the times, but don't become too rigid or too stressed if your plans run late. Just go with the flow, and keep striving for a True Day.
2) Practice Mindfulness.
Try to "be" in the present moment as much as possible. It helps to breathe deeply and slowly.
Tip: There will be times when you'll be distracted - accept it. But, use the precious moments of solitude or serenity you find during the day to relax your body and be fully present.

3) Say Positive Affirmations.
Whenever possible, repeat the prescribed Daily Affirmation or say your own. This is a great way to program your subconscious mind.
Tip: Create some cues for yourself, like after brushing your teeth, waiting for a kettle to boil, driving in your car, or 2-minutes before opening your front door.

4) Stay Positive.
Sometimes things happen that bring you down - expect them to happen. But remember, how you respond is always your choice.
Tip: Watch your life unfold around you as if you are watching a movie starring someone else. Observe, process, and then respond from your true-self. Keep a positive attitude. Don't let anything get you down.

6) Be kind and gentle.
Being kind and gentle towards people reduces stress and conflict and improves your relationships.

IN THE EVENING:
Set time aside in the evening to write in your Workbook, do the Daily Exercises, and plan the next day. Follow these guidelines:
1) Set The Scene.
The more you put into your evening sessions - the more you'll get out of them. Makes these occasions special - there are only few of them in your whole life!
Tip: Light candles and incense, and listen to soft music. It's inspiring to create a nice ambiance.

2) Start With A Mediation.
Meditate for 10 minutes or longer. This is a great time to practice visualization, reflection, and gratitude. This practice puts you in the right frame of mind for the Daily Exercises.
Tip: Read the Tutorial on How to Meditate or listen to the Podcast.

3) Do The Daily Exercises.
The prescribed Daily Exercises require at least one hour a day to complete, so make time to do them. (If you compare this time spent to the hundreds, if not thousands, of hours you’ve spent watching television, it’s a small investment to make to ensure your future well-being, isn’t it?)
4) Update Your Workbook.
Your Workbook is the tool you need to do the Challenges properly. It becomes your roadmap to true wellness. Work through it diligently.

6) Go to bed early
A good night's rest is essential. If you go to bed late, you'll struggle to get up early.
Tip: If you're accustomed to going to bed late, you'll need to train your mind and body to sleep. Don't look for things to do or watch after your session. Have a warm bath and go to bed.
