With many schools heading back to remote learning we may all find ourselves a little more stressed than usual. That is to be expected. Whether we agree with this or not it will still affect our bodies so we should find ways to address it.
Let's start talking about some things we can do to help prevent us from getting overwhelmed and things we can do once we are feeling overwhelmed!
-
Spend 5-10 minutes at the beginning of each week trying to identify the obstacles that may lay ahead. Make a plan for them. When we start to plan out our actions we feel more in control and it helps us make thought out decisions instead of making decisions when we are filled with emotions!
-
Schedule in time for fun in your day. Your kids are going to feel just as overwhelmed as you are. Find some time to get outside, even if you just go outside to eat lunch together. Bundle up if it's cold and sit on the steps and eat together. Removing yourself from the stressful environment will help you reset!
-
Get in some movement. This doesn't have to be an insane workout but you need to move your body. If you are used to being at work and now you're home you are going to find you don't move nearly as much as you would so you need to make an effort to get moving more. Go for a walk, bike ride, do a workout. Do something that gets you moving!
-
Create a morning routine. Think about your typical morning routine. You have one even if you didn't intentionally make it. Now make one for the time you will be home. Don't treat your work at home days as weekend days. Set your alarm and create a morning routine that will get you prepared for the day even though you are staying home!
My goal here is to help you stay calm with yourself and your family. If you do find yourself acting in a way you aren't happy about remember you are human and sometimes we get overwhelmed. Take a few deep breaths and take a break. It's ok to walk away for a few minutes to get yourself back on track!
Happy Saturday! I wanted to hop by and give you this important message for this weekend because I hear a lot of this going around!
Do not punish yourself with exercise. When you get into that mindset you will start resenting working out because you will associate it with something negative rather than all the positive it brings.
I totally get not wanting to lose your progress but it is not going to happen with one meal or in one day or really one weekend!
If you can relate to this I want you to do this...
Each morning when you get up be intentional about how you will show up that day. Will you do your workout? Will you focus on your nutrition? Will you go to the party and have one margarita and then seltzer? Pick your one way to show up and stick to it and let the rest happen. Remember this is for a day, not every single day. One day letting yourself eat outside your plan is going to be ok!
Have fun and make good memories, and please be safe! Uber is a fantastic ...
