Lately in result of my work dramas my routine has took a bit of a hit. I’ve been oversleeping & not taking enough time for self care. There’s only so much lounging aimlessly around like a potato one can do before feeling low. So now to get back on track. It’s not an easy task but a rewarding one so here is how I aim to do so!
As I have been oversleeping i’m fully aware that my night ahead is going to be a challenge. Staying awake past 1 always gets you feeling lonely when anxious. However I am taking my time to be as productive as I can! Then when I eventually get some sleep I plan on setting my alarm for a good time around 9 am. Tomorrow is when the challenge begins. No more procrastinating & watching re-runs of friends back to back! No more naps & for me that’s gonna be the hardest part. My happy place is in my bed rolled up like a burrito.
Next step- 3 meals a day Breakfast lunch & tea all at reasonable times (9/10) (12/1) (5/6). Next I’ve got time in my day for exercise; for me I’ve downloaded some work out apps & then will go for a walk! Motivating yourself for this is always a struggle but you have to find the umph to get up & go & afterwards you’ll be left feeling happier & will thank yourself! I Plan to eat lighter as i’m not always one to be mindful of my unhealthy food choices. More fruit, more veg & less snacking on galaxy bars to pass the day! Set yourself 3 little goals daily whether it’s to meditate, clean up a little, declutter or just pick up that book you’ve been putting off reading; the sense of accomplishment always makes the day a little more positive.
Don’t dive in to quickly; it can be mentally draining so small steps to achieve a big change! Here’s to breaking the habit; wish me luck & good luck to anyone joining me on the journey!
