Its Wednesday hell yea Friday is around the corner!!!
I’ve been thinking about my blog,
design, post, content, readership, and such a lot lately. Of course it would be
great to have a billion readers and have people send me things for free to try
but I’m thinking maybe that’s not me. Or at least not now. Some one left an
anonymous comment noting that wellness Wednesday would never get me readers and
I say SUCK IT! I have to stay true to me so here it is…
Wellness is a
term used to describe a healthy balance in the mind body and spirit. For the
purpose of this post I want to talk about life balance.
I HAVE NONE LOL. It
seems something always suffers. I am a mother, therapist, fiancé, sister, aunt,
full time grad student, new gym rat, friend, and my commitments seem endless. I
always feel like there is not enough time in the day as Im sure most women do.
So what do we do
about that? How can I have it all? Or can we have it all? I prioritize but it seems something is always
neglected. For example at work, when I do all my treatment plans I forget about
my discharge summaries. At home if I clean up the house, the laundry is either
not done or not put away. Lets say Im just busting with energy (never) and Im
on top of my game at work and at home, my school work suffers. How do we create
that balance?...
Its different for
everyone but here it what has started working for me…
1.
PRAY!!!- To God, brother rock, Buddha, Allah, Your
Higher power, whomever helps you be a better you
2.
Accept that you can’t do it all *You mean Im not
Super Woman in real life?*
3.
Take personal time outs- this is also known as
gym/workout in the living room and hog the big TV time
4.
Figure out what is important and put this at the
TOP of the list- MY FAMILY
5.
Make a to do list- USE the to do list- on your
phone, in your purse, on the fridge wherever
6.
Get a freakin schedule- now the real trick is
sticking to it LOL
7.
If you are a procrastinator give yourself extra
time- I seriously have like 4 alarms set because I like to lay there until the
last possible minute
8.
Get some rest!!!
9.
DO NOT try to cram EVERYTHING into Saturday or
you end up not feeling rested at all
10.
Delegate- let the boo, and the kiddos help out
around the house, just know it wont be perfect
11.
Light Candles and drink Wine- on cheat day!
So there you have my personal Wellness plan. I make mistakes
and don’t stick to it sometimes but these main things keep me from going postal
and make others believe I have it all figured out. What about you?
Geesh! Some people are rude.I'm glad you took it as constructive. I think you do a wonderful job with content. I have a lot on my plate also so balance is the key. I love your chart! Peace and blessings!
ReplyDeleteI love anonymous commenters. They post a lot of bs on a blog and then don't even have the balls to show who they really are. I'm sure they're AWESOME people in real. Please note my sarcasm. Honestly, I feel sorry for people that feel the need to say rude comments(while hiding behind anonymity) I'm sure their lives are as pathetic as their comments.
ReplyDeleteYou keep doin' what you're doin', girl! Haters gonna hate.
I can definitely relate to this post!! I just wrote a post a few hours ago talking about this kind of thing. I'm supposed to getting back into a routine, but it's so hard when you have so many things to do! I've got to do better, but I have to remember to put some me time in there too!!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your posts!!
oh no! I guess the rude comment is gone because I can't see it...but I hope you don't let things like that discourage you. Blogging, while we put stuff out there for readers, is all for you...so keep doing it FOR YOU!!
DeleteKeep up the good work!
Blogging should be reserved just for you. I get so much free therapy out of writing mine. I happen to love reading about your personal journey so please, please, please keep at it and ignore the negativity!
ReplyDeleteIt is your blog and I think you should write what you want to write and what you feel. I think it is good that you took it as constructive. Ultimately I think we blog for ourselves and that is important to remember.
ReplyDeleteSomeone seriously said that? Yeah, I agree with you - they can suck it! :) I enjoy your Wellness Wednesdays. It's something that makes your blog different from other blogs - and that's a good thing! Keep it up!
