Do you ever feel overwhelmed and like you can’t get a moment to yourself? Even if you wanted to sit down and focus on some goals for yourself, whether it be weight loss or just eating healthier and getting in the time to move, you instantly think “Oh that’s just another thing on my to-do list that I wouldn’t have time for” and give up on the thought before you’ve even had the chance to try.
This is really common nowadays and with a lot of women that I see. They feel overworked, they’re tired, and they feel like at the end of the day they have nothing left to give to themselves because all of their energy has gone to others.
This is a vicious cycle and I am going to teach you how to get out of it!
At the end of the day, while being productive and getting all of the things “done” can make us feel worthy deep down and like we are doers, if it leaves us feeling more depleted and lethargic than excited for our lives and what we’ve achieved then we have to ask ourselvews “Is this really all there is? Is this really a sustainable way to be? Is this how I want to feel/live?” The answer is absolutely not, this is just a pattern that has developed over time and there IS a better WAY!
Let’s begin to find out, here’s how!
⏺ Start by filling your own cup – Gratitude every morning ☀️
Gratitude in the morning begins to put you into a positive state of mind, and increases your happiness in the moment by reminding you that while there are still things you are working towards in your life, there are things you can immediately be happy for now.
⏺ Get Excited – Vision Board Your Goals In Life! 🌺
Having a visual reminder that we can wake up to everyday helps us to see the bigger picture/ and get EXCITED for our future and what we are working towards! What do you want in life?! Love, friendship, career, body goals, travel, etc. Put it here!
⏺ Center and Calm the Body – Yoga & Meditation 🧘♀️
There is so much happening so fast all around us. Yoga and meditation helps us to slow down and practice controlling our mind. Every wondered if you could train your mind to think more positively about situations and let go of negative thought patterns quicker? This is one way to do it!
⏺ Recover – Adequate Sleep 😴
The evening time is when our body heals and rests. We need 7-9 hours a night, completely uninterrupted. If you want to feel energized and rejuvenated tomorrow, bright eyed and bushy tailed, motivated and resilient – it starts with tonight!
⏺ Self Love – Pamper Yourself and Take Care of Your Body
Journaling, a hot bath, deep tissue massage, reading, face masks, or music to relax are all fantastic ways to show your inner self that you matter, and that you care. Taking the extra 5 minutes to go through your skincare routine, or taking the hour to relax in a hot bubble bath with some relaxing music is a perfect way to go the extra mile, and show yourself that you care. 🌙🛁💆♀️
All of these habits practice caring for your well being and readjusting your mindset. Onto the present, onto being excited for your future, onto being grateful and happy for what you have. Whenever stressed, worried, or just overwhelmed, take a second to turn to some of these to give your body/mind a break!
One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was, when you’re worried about something, shift your mindset to “What if it all works out?” And see how much better you feel! This is called reframing, and can be used in any situation you could ever think of. If you are constantly looking at a certain situation in a negative light, ask yourself “What are 5 ways I could look at this situation through a more positive lens?”
Sometimes we can lose sight of what’s important or even worth our time stressing about. Give yourself a minute to get some perspective!
You only live once, use the mind space and imagination you have, visualizing and building a beautiful life, and enjoying/ being grateful for the one that you have.
