Make Downtime Happen

Downtime is when you clear your mind of the noise that is around you.

I enjoy my downtime. I have to make it happen or it doesn't. What does my downtime consist of? Walking away from things I've been doing for an hour or so straight, like sitting, or a working on a project. this will refresh your brain and body. Try this healthy habit. Go for a walk outside. 15 minutes does wonders. 

My downtime can look different then your downtime. Some people like to take a quick nap, deep breathing, a shower, stretching, draw, ready, do a puzzle, or even meal prep. Whatever clears your mind and helps to break up a repetitive and sometimes stressful day. 

 

 

 

Release What Isn't Your Load to Carry

I believe moms, and women are made to feel as if they must take care of everything ad everyone. They are the healers and problem solvers and the fixers. We are dedicated to our families and the people we love and the jobs we feel are our responsibilities. However, we must remember a couple things...

• Children need rules and responsibilities and consequences for not upholding their responsibilities.
• Adults over the age of 18, whether friends or family, are responsible for their life...Bills, babies, debt, jobs, decisions, accomplishments, and the list goes on. It's not your responsibility. You are only hurting yourself and give them the OKAY to keep being unresponsible. You are doing them no favors.

Draw. the line. Release What Isn't Your Load to Carry. Tell them no. Stop doing it. They need to figure it out. What is it? "Life". This is an important healthy habit you must start today! 

 

Have a Bedtime Routine

I was raised that you quiet down the whole house before bedtime. It starts after dinner. Everyone helped clean up from dinner. As children we picked up our bedrooms, got our book ready for school, laid out our clothes, took a bath, brushed our teeth, and we would read before bed. Lights out at the same time every school night.

Bedtime routines aren't just for children anymore! They benefit adults as well. Wind down after dinner. Stretch. Bath or shower. Quiet time. No electronics. No television. No computer. Read a real magazine or a book. Have a set bedtime and keep it. Try adding a bedtime routine to your life and start taking better care of yourself today!
