When you mess up

It's 11:22 pm tonight, and I just got home. I realized I didn't get a chance to blog yet, and today's blog made me realize I missed yesterday's blog. I think a lot times when we mess up, we think that messing up makes us a failure, so we give up. But messing up doesn't mean you're a...

Something that helps me take action...

consistency small habits Oct 08, 2023

On the days I don't want to take action, I think about:

1. What pain will I experience if I don't take action

2. What pleasure will I experience if I do take action

3. What's the SIMPLEST way I can take action

 

Taking action on the days you don't want to take action moves you forward....

Getting in more steps

consistency movement neat Oct 04, 2023

When I started working from home in 2018, I was horrified to see how sedentary I had become.

 

Sure, I was still exercising and running, but walking throughout the day? Much less. I was no longer walking from my apartment to my car. No longer walking from my car to place of work. No longer...

When you mess up, use the 3Rs

consistency Sep 28, 2023

Paul was laughing at me today because I was explaining the 3Rs to him, and he was like whhhhy do you have to make everything into an acronym and I was like I don't think 3Rs in a row are an acronym, they're just 3Rs... and also we need tools to move forward!

 

So the 3Rs. This is a tool I...

Exercise and mental health

I had to be at a conference today for work and didn't get to workout in the morning how I usually do. I did a 20-minute walk outside with some stretches and step-ups on benches, but I didn't get my heart rate up like I like to do. 

 

Fast forward a few hours later: I had a really bad...

My mental health needs movement

This morning I woke up and didn't want to go to the gym. But the truth is, I never want to go to the gym.

I never want to do anything.

But I know if I let myself just lay in bed, I feel horrible, and I feel horrible about myself.

I feel lethargic all day. And I get mad at myself for having not...

On the days it feels like you just can't

This morning I felt awful. It's the first day of my period, and I got to the gym and felt terrible. Bloated. Low energy. Kinda in a bad mood.

 

But on days like this, I no longer just let myself slide and not do things. Not doing things actually makes me feel worse, not better.

On the days you don't want to do anything at all

On the days you don't want to do anything at all, still show up and do something small.

It keeps the habit.

That's today's blog folks!

Getting back on track after you stop taking action

I didn't work out Thursday and Friday. I did my walks with the pup in the morning and evening and did some stretches at home but didn't head to the gym.

 

Saturday morning, I wake up and am having that convo in my head.

 

You know the one.

 

"You didn't workout...

My Go-To Meals

I created Imperfect Eating and the 5Ps back in 2018 as an easy way to eat healthy without being on a diet. It's great because it's enough structure and enough variety.

 

But over the years, I've just wanted to think about food even less. I think in working from home and working for myself...
