Lesson Summary
Maintaining something over many different seasons of our lives can be challenging, but when we have vision it is much easier! Multiplied maintenance is about learning to aim at goals that can be reached. If we don’t know how or where to aim, we are not going to hit our target. However, if we know what our target is and we keep our eyes on that target, we are more likely to hit it. In order to maintain the healthy practices of movement, nourishment, and recovery, we need a plan. Just like learning an instrument, learning to play a sport, or getting a good education, we need a plan in order to succeed in any area of life. A plan and routine will help us be consistent with our health and continue growing on our health journey.
Discovering the best plan in every season of our lives is what it means to find vision. We can talk to our parents, guardians, teachers, and other trusted adults in our lives to ask for help in finding a good routine for exercise, including more nutritious food in our diets, or planning out rhythms for rest and recovery. After we get help from older, wiser people in our lives, it is very important to write our plan down in order to remember it and keep a clear vision. Writing down a clear plan for exercise, nutrition, a bedtime routine, and more will help us have a vision for our health journey. When we find vision to maintain a healthy lifestyle, we can teach people to follow the same plan, which will multiply our maintenance in others’ lives!
