What is your personal scheduled maintenance plan?

Your car, home, and even some of your appliances and devices have scheduled maintenance programs and requirements that enable them to last longer, and more importantly, provide you with the best performance.

If scheduled maintenance is essential for inanimate objects, doesn’t it make sense that you, too, should have a personal maintenance schedule?

Your body and mind experience stress daily, and if not correctly cared for, will eventually break down. Maybe even worse than breaking down, they will begin to perform poorly. At first, you may not notice, because it will happen slowly. Then one day, you’ll wake up to find yourself unable to perform even simple mental and physical tasks.

Taking into account that factors outside of your control may cause an unfortunate accident or illness, there’s a lot you can do to maintain a level of well-being for yourself. And it doesn’t take much. You don’t have to spend hours in the gym or partake in extreme diets to ensure good physical health. You also don’t have to trek to the top of a mountain to achieve mental peace, unless, of course, you want to.

A few scheduled minutes of mental and physical exercise a day, in conjunction with a relatively healthy diet, is all you really need. Nothing extreme, because in most cases, extreme is unsustainable.

Schedule a maintenance plan for yourself. Add it to your calendar so that you’re reminded on a regular basis to take care of yourself. Who knows? If you do this long enough, you might outlast and outperform your appliances.
