2020 started off with a bang, I was trying to workout more, eat healthy and sleep more.
After returning from a rejuvenating weekend from Miami, I realized that I was getting overwhelmed with trying to stay on top of work and all the above priorities.
I was stressing about getting enough sleep, but to get enough sleep I needed to eat earlier which meant I either had to cook earlier which meant I couldn’t work out!!!
So I decided to cut down on the cooking and spend time working on a sleep routine and my workout.
It has been 2 weeks and I feel less overwhelmed. I realized we need to make choices and more importantly take baby steps to add in good habits which hopefully crowd out bad habits.
Eating healthy is still a priority but if I don’t get to cook, I try my hardest to order something healthy and if not then just add a salad or vegetables to my meal.
Stress is a culprit in all our lives and unfortunately some sort of stress will always be there, but how we react to that stress can really change the outcome and eventually how we feel.
Self-care should be our priority because if we don’t take care of ourselves how can we take care of others.
Don’t feel guilty to take a break or go get a massage or just DO NOTHING!!!!
The power of being present and aware is huge and I will add some powerful articles on how spending a few minutes paying attention to your breathe can change your outlook on an issue or just relax you.
So take a look at all your priorities and be realistic, so you can get time to just sit and breathe!
Remember that YOU ARE IMPORTANT and Self-care is not selfish 👍
