I'm getting in my own way 🤷🏻♀️
I’m getting in my own way... and maybe are have too?
You know you should be...
- Reducing your screen time on social media
- Getting movement in each day…but instead you just continue to work work work
- Drinking more water
- Getting more sunlight
- Cutting off friends that are just toxic
...but you just aren’t doing any of it 🤷🏻♀️... even though you know that if you actually do these things you will live better and have a happier life.
So why DON’T we JUST DO IT ALREADY? What are we waiting for?
Why is it so hard to just do the "right” thing?
As I was on a walk the other day I thought to myself, "it’s gotta be a few things..."
- Self-Sabotage: for some reason, we may not even think we're worth it (whether we are consciously aware of it or not)
- Waiting for the “right” or ideal time: My mom is here for the next few days and she’s a teacher. She keeps saying things like, “when I am off in the summer, I will take care of myself," or "when I retire, but not now"
- Thinking everything else is more important than our well being
I am saying all these things because I relate. I get nervous that if I stop working or I am not on my game or productive at all times that things will fall apart. When in reality, an hour or two a day to do something for myself will drastically HELP in whatever it is that I am doing.
Here are some uncomfortable things things I am doing this week to start to implement change:
- I downloaded this app called Opal. It basically locks you out of social media for designated time AND only allows you to use it for a time that you set. I personally get so distracted with social media being “work" that I find myself kinda in a daze, scrolling through mindlessly and seeing productive hours of my day disappear.
- I wrote out WHEN I will get movement in this week in my google calendar, which I am pretty good about, but this time I am also writing in a BREAK in the day to go for a walk and get outside
- I am increasing my meditation time and changing up my morning routine a bit. My goal is no social media or work, just redlight/meditation, journaling, and a mini-walk or something out doors.
And I am gonna stick to that for now. I also want to be more consciously aware of my thoughts. I am a very positive person, but lately I am noticing that I am just feeling more negative than usual and I don’t like it.
Maybe you relate to the above, maybe you don’t. But I think we can ALL use a reminder as to the fact that WE actually matter in this game of life.
