Make Today Matter Mini Makeover Catalog

Mini #115 - April Featured Mini

One of the ways to maximize your time in the Make Today Matter program, and your time in general, is through a routine of Priority Planning. While it takes a little time, this planning is key to helping us stay on track throughout the month. Done thoroughly, this planning allows us to stay focused in  spite of adversity and to focus on what truly matters.  Priority Planning also reduces stress and helps us manage our time better. The five steps of Priority Planning can be accessed by all MTM Members in Phase II by following the link in the blue “quick links” menu. This Mini is an additional workshop that provides an audio version of each of the five steps, and also provides a location to share and encourage one another with our plans!

Mini #114

The list of chemicals found in most household cleaners can be overwhelming! Learning to “Clean Green” can help us move forward in our eco-green goals, while also saving money and creating a more healthy environment.  In this Mini we explore simple household cleaning solutions that you can make–many with supplies you likely have on hand! We will also cover some cleaning solutions and shortcuts.

Please make sure you have taken Attitude Makeover Pt 1 (Mini # 111)  before taking Pt 2 (There are references to Part 1 in Part Two)

Days 6-10 of our 10 Day Attitude Program

Feeling blue or “out-of-sorts?” Negativity, stressful environments, worry, anxiety, fatigue–all can take a toll on our attitude leaving us feeling drained, irritable, anxious, or moody.

Fortunately, we do not have to settle for a less than stellar attitude. We can take quick and concise steps to reframe our perspective and make over our attitude. This Mini Series (Part 2 will be released April, 2010) is designed with a simple goal: To get out of the “muck” quickly.

The course begins with a before evaluation to assess your current coping skills and 5 Lessons (which is Mini #111), then, in this Mini you will receive lessons 6-10. These are the same lessons shared in our Attitude Makeover course.

Over the course of these 10 lessons you will learn:

… how to audit your thinking for negative thought patterns
… the 5 habits of negative thinkers (and how to avoid them)
… how negative thinking spirals (and how to stop it)
… how to use affirmations for a quick pick-me-up
… how action conquers despair
… how to use the 5-Minute Motivator
… how to design Mini-Missions for the mind
… how to recognize negative-triggers (and stop them)

#112 Nutrition Label I.Q.: Learn the ins and outs of reading nutrition labels to make the best food choices

These days reading a nutrition label can be more complicated than reading the latest stock trends. Claims abound—no-fat, low-fat, good-fat, reduces heart risk, low-cholesterol, 100% wheat, low-salt, no-salt—but what’s behind all the claims? Learning how to read a food label is a skill that will benefit your health and let you make informed choices.  If you are trying to watch fat, lower cholesterol, reduce salt, eat more fiber, or enjoy more natural food choices, this Mini will teach you how to read the label to ensure you are making the best choice.
