Since my last blog, I found a job. So now I have mom/wife stuff, school stuff, a workout, and work in day. Also must include a social life as well as journaling and personal development. To be honest, I am failing at it miserably. I can normally accomplish just a few things a day because well, I still have fibromyalgia. So how do I do it....how do I find a balance???? How do I figure out how to make it all work and not choose to be overwhelmed by it all. Yes, you read right....choose to be overwhelmed. My coaching and my coach, Coach Tulin have taught me it is a choice. She also has taught me, I do the hard stuff...I choose to start the hard stuff as well as finish the hard stuff....
This blog has been rolling around in my head for awhile and here is what I have figured out...
All the planners in the world, all the to do lists in the world, and all the best of intentions are no good if you do use them, follow them, or apply them. So the first step in finding my balance is to use them. Tonight and tomorrow since I am not working either time, it is time to blow the dust off and really dig into them. I have sat down and used them, but not used them. I made them pretty and said this is what I was gonna do, and yup...I feel prey to being overwhelmed. That is where I have been for the last few weeks. I also have started giving into excuses again....I even got so busy I was not taking my daily vitamins. All that stops today. I am going backwards....not in weight, I am slowly losing that, but my mind is being lost faster than the weight.
So, how am I going to find my balance and use these tools I have???? Simple really....I am just going to do it. Much like I go to work, I do school work, and take care of my kiddo.
There is a method to my madness and here is what my mornings will start looking like for me...
6:30-up and energize water while I get in my personal development.
7:00-Workout
7:30-shake and coaching content and social media check in.
8:00-coffee and breakfast while I check in with the planners and make the to do list.
Now what I do from here will depend on my day...work, housework, out with friends, the pool maybe. But the stuff I need to put me in a frame of mind to do what I gotta do, that will be done! This hour and a half I spend...that is my self care time!
So I will schedule in a time every week to sit down and plan the next week. I also will be getting back into meal planning. I will also be assigning a spot for blogging! Daily social media posts again. I have fallen into such a rut, that I needed to stop and figure out what was missing....this is a major part. I like writing about my journey, the struggles and the triumphs. It also is a great way to vent! Have not ranted in awhile, lol. So now that I am charged, had a bite to eat, and have a plan of action as well as an accountability since I shared it here...Time to make the most of my night off as well as the next few days...working at Carter's has left me in need of cleaning out my daughters dresser and closet again.
Until next time,
