Once upon a time....
I actually took a 1 month break from working out.
I was SO BUSY training clients, juggling my business with my friends/family, etc.] that I thought I didn’t have time to focus on my own self-care/fitness/etc.
Actually, I wasn’t even aware enough to think about it. It just happened.
And it wasn’t long until I was feeling exhausted and irritable; loading up weights for my clients started to feel like more work. I started to then eat crappy food because I was so busy and started to put weight on. In fact I felt like an imposter!!
Talk about a face-palm moment.
I was so in my head and thinking about everything I needed to do that I forgot to be PRESENT –
And in the process I was robbing myself of the chance to make TODAY a great day.
It’s the classic dilemma of letting the “urgent” get in the way of the important. We all do it from time to time.
We focus on all the things we think we SHOULD do …
and that usually means putting our own self-care on the backburner.
But here’s where we get it twisted: those 30 minutes you spend TODAY taking care of yourself will make everything else in your life easier.
[it's never too late to learn this by the way because it's absolutely TRUE!]
And it all comes down to today.
What you do TODAY is going to impact your tomorrow.
Thirty minutes of quiet time, 30 minutes of preparing healthy meals for the week, 30 minutes of sweating it out …
It’s literally just 2% of your day.
So what’s ONE thing you can do today to prioritize your self-care?
Tomorrow, you’ll wish you did that thing today.
Whatever the first thing that popped into your head was …
make it as “urgent” as all of the other things you have to do today.
Here’s what I’m doing: I've booked myself a 45 minute workout session of weights and cardio and I'm gonna get a real sweat on in preparation for my weekend. .....ME TIME!!
Make sure you carve out some “you” time today.
Own your day,
Jamie
