You really need to get Your priorities right. You can change work habits or work itself if it interferes with your life balance. Or maybe You search for balance at work -for example to get things done - than again check Your priorities. Maybe this next meeting is not that much important? Maybe You don’t have to be there? Same goes with other obstacles. Cold outside? What do You want most? What can You lose? Decide what is more important right now for You ;)
I still missed fabulous day/s when schedule is really chaotic. Getting back to the habit and forgetting the days missed gets my groove back. Love the app. So forgiving
For first situation, plan it into your schedule, and set early expectations from your peers at work. Second, do it at home. Third, your exercize buddy would probably be proud you kept going!
I had to lower expectations and give myself permission to deal with the chaos. I did what I could when I could do it. I am now working my way back.
When life is unmanageable, start by stopping and thinking, “is this where I want to be right now?” If the answer is no, then do something about it. First, breathe. Take some time for yourself to unwind and relax. Work can be stressful, so take some time each day to destress. Meditate, do some yoga, or take a walk in nature. Take control of your life and make the conscious decision that my better life starts today. If you ever start to feel down, remember why you started. Best of luck😄
To begin, I am really sorry for your loss. Life is alwayss unmanageable, it’s just that we, humans, manage to fight, to get better, to overcome any obstacle big or small that comes into our paths. It’s not that we are invincible, just stubborn enough to always find a way. My personal advice, try to find your own way to deal with this, stabilize your lifestyle or learn to adapt to a chaotic one, don’t clutter yourself, add small bits of healthy habits to yourself, be stubborn and unbeatable! You can do it, I know you can.
#1, pray! Ask the Lord to open up time for you to do your goals each day, then watch and listen for the opportunities He provides. It’s astonishing how well that works. #2, if there is just no time, refrain from beating yourself up about it. Try again tomorrow. #3, don’t give up!
Make a mantra :- remind yourself life is always changing and you have this moment. Stay focused on your values. Do deep breathing exercises to calm your mind/ body.
Just do what you can. Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. If you can only manage to do five press ups, that’s more than doing none. Life gets in the way sometimes and we can only do our best
Sometimes the only answer is to be kind and compassionate to yourself. Listen closely to what your body and soul need and honour that. Sometimes it’s a long sleep, a coffee with a friend or a solitary walk in the woods rather than getting up early for a run or class. If you’ve established those simple routines, it won’t be long until you can fall back on them to get started again. Routines, routines, routines - simple and easy ones that you can adapt to shifting schedules, priorities or ability.
