Self-care in my life

Productivity routine is extremely imortant in this 2019 world full of speed and stress. It’s true what they say: breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. But, why? Well, you need to energy if you want to tackle the ambitious goals that you’ve set for yourself, so a balanced breakfast should always be part of your morning routine. I always like to think of my body like I think about a car. If I noticed that I was almost out of gas before I set off from home, I’d rush to the nearest gas station to fill up my tank. Without gas, my car won’t be able to continue moving forward. And it’s the exact same with my body – I need to put in the right amount of fuel (food) so that I can continue moving forward as an entrepreneur.

Sometimes the best way to have a productive morning is to get a head start on it the night before. Many productivity experts and successful people spend their evenings preparing for the next day because it makes their mornings free to get an early start on important work. American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault ends his evenings by writing down three things he wants to accomplish the next day. Planning the evening before is effective because we have a limited amount of willpower and decision-making ability every day. The thought of making too many decisions in the morning will slow you down and drain your brain for the rest of the day. If you can eliminate decision-making from your mornings, you’ll have more energy and time to have the most productive morning you can!

Most successful people tend to include their ‘me-time’ in their morning routines. For some, that means spending time with their family and for others spending time alone. In either way, with a clear and fresh mind, this is a great time to be yourself and enjoy the moment. See extra details at Confident style.

Stop waiting – dress your best right now. This one is so important! Whether it’s losing weight, moving, graduating or something else: Your life is not on hold just because you haven’t achieved all of your goals yet! Never wait until some arbitrary point in the future to embrace your style and dress exactly how you want to dress. Separate your body hang-ups from your style. Don’t allow body hang-ups to keep you from embracing your personal style. Because regardless of whether they are valid (probably not), they are beside the point. Being mega beautiful is not a pre-requisite to having great style, plus dressing in tune with your own personal style will improve your overall confidence and thereby also how you feel about your appearance.

Since we’re all living particularly busy lifestyles, having a place where you can stop for a second, take a deep breath and relax becomes almost mandatory. It’s important to remember that, aside from taking care of your physical well-being, you should pay close attention to your mental well-being as well. Even though exercises such as yoga and meditation can help truly put our minds at ease, if the environment you are surrounded with on a daily basis is hectic, these exercises won’t make a real difference. Therefore, in order to truly be abler to practice mindfulness, you should rethink your home’s design and see if there’s any room for improvement.

The truth is if we don’t make time for self-care, we probably won’t find the time for it. Make self-care a non-reschedulable appointment with yourself. Schedule it in your calendar and set reminders if you need to. For example, block off 30 mins in the morning to do yoga and 30 mins at night to read. Tell your family or roommates what times you will be unavailable. Make it as official as possible. It can even be something as simple as planning ahead and laying your clothes, bag, and lunch out the night before to alleviate some stress in the morning. Read more info at Well-designed life.
