Full disclosure, I’m going to be 40 this year.
I’ll be honest, my brain is having a hard time wrapping around that fact. I can’t pinpoint exactly what it is that I’m having a hard time grasping.
And as I reach that “milestone” I feel like it’s more and more important to point out that how we use our time can significantly impact our health. Significantly.
Which is why I’m obsessed with time.
Read MoreThere’s just not enough time.
Hopefully after my last post about how to find more time in your current schedule you’ve found at least a little more time in your week.
As promised, now that you have a bit more time over the next several posts I’m going to go over the steps I take to not only find even more time (after I’ve used my tool, that is), but prioritize the most important things first so that I can work towards my goals without becoming completely overwhelmed with the process.
Read MoreI don’t have time to workout.
I don’t have time to cook food at home.
I don’t have the time to sleep 7 to 8 hours a night.
Are you kidding me? Who has time for all of that? Or any of that for that matter!
Time. Time is probably the reason I hear most often that people are not doing the things they know they need to do to live healthier lives.
Read MoreI have a confession to make.
Here we are, almost halfway through the year and I’m just now revisiting my word. Just like last year, I kept it in mind for the first couple months of the year, and then… I just forgot.
It’s actually embarrassing to admit that I’m just now realizing I haven’t used my word to its fullest potential. After all, wasn’t that my complaint about last years’ word?
I chose my word well, darn it. As the world is gradually opening up and I’m relearning how to have a baby (well- toddler!) in this environment, right now I need my word more than ever.
Read MoreSo many things to do, so little time. No wonder those annoying little tasks keep getting pushed to the bottom of your list.
But did you know that those “little” tasks drain your energy? Just like a slow leak, those tasks slowly sap energy, and focus you’d rather put elsewhere.
Here are two thing you can do to stop the leak, and Start Overcoming Overwhelm.
Read MoreYou are allowed to be sad.
… And mad.
… And grateful.
… And you can be all of those things at the same time.
I realize that’s a weird thing to say, but hear me out.
Read MoreWhat is that old saying? The days are long, but the years are short… or something like that. I tell you what, this has been the longest shortest year of my entire life. I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that my sweet baby is a year old. In fact, she’s hardly a baby. She zips all over the house, gets into everything she shouldn’t, dances and laughs without restraint.
Oh how I love her. Oh how I love that.
I watch her in amazement and wonder how much better our lives would be if we laughed as easily and danced as often.
While there are a million things we can learn from children- here are 11 of my favorite lessons my one year old teaches me every single day.
