I don't want to today...

I started a new habit of heading to the gym every night, and tonight I don't really want to!

 

But I also know I will feel really annoyed with myself if I don't go. 

I will feel resentful- I spend all day working and no time working on myself or my own goals.

I know going will help me...

Morning Movement

A few weeks ago, Paul and I started doing a 30-45 minute walk in the morning.

I love it because:

1. I get to move my body first thing which is just so crucial for my mental health.

2. I get to start the day by spending time with Paul. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes it is silent. Sometimes we hold...

Repetition with a New Mantra

consistency habits Nov 13, 2023

Yesterday I started my new habit of heading to the gym at 7pm, and it was great! There was no one there!! I got to use the equipment I wanted so easily. I was able to walk up and just start using it rather than standing in line or hovering or figuring out a plan B.

 

I'm headed to the gym in...

New Journal

consistency habits journal Nov 12, 2023

I created something for me, and now I want to share it with you! 

 

Years ago, I was struggling to start my work day. I was working on imperfecteating.com, felt imposter syndrome, and was dealing with my normal brain issues of not knowing how to start things.

 

I created 3-2-1...

Rewiring Your Brain with a New Mantra

beliefs consistency habits Nov 11, 2023

I am rereading the book You Are a Badass at Habits with one of my clients, and Jen Sincero recommends creating a mantra. It's been a while since I've done this type of work, and it's a great reminder.

We can't just focus on actions, but we also have to focus on our thoughts and our beliefs...

What can you get done on your worst day ever?

Well, today was not a bad mental health day but rather it was just a packed day with a full inbox everytime I opened it.


And then some issues around the house that popped up.

 

And then a pup who desperately needed a bath but we had no dog shampoo.

 

It was just things piling up one by...

Running on the weekends

So I have been going to my running class again, which is something I've missed so much since leaving Chicago.

 

The run isn't pretty. I still have a lot of issues with my knee, hip, and now my foot too, but the doctors and PTs have said to not stop, so I do what I can in class.

 

I wish...

Evening walks on the beach

consistency evening habits Nov 03, 2023

This week, we also started adding in evening walks on the beach.

I know, I know. Whose life is this?!

Several months ago, I added in an evening walk if I didn't hit my step goal of 8000. Sometimes the walk was 5 minutes and sometimes 30. But oftentimes, I struggled to make it happen.

So what's...

Pizza Friday

I started Pizza Friday back in 2016 as a way to rebel against Whole30's strict rules around fun food.

 

Pizza Friday means you get to eat pizza, but you eat some of the pizza without eating all of the pizza.

 

How? How does one eat some of the pizza without eating all of the pizza?

On your worst days, still do something

Ah! Another post on this but it's important. This week has been kinda hectic with some travel and visits and just not the same routine I mostly enjoy.

 

And this is usually when things fall apart for people. They have to go on a trip. Or work gets hectic. Or family comes to visit. Or it's...
