So I am now working out an hour to and hour and a half a day,preparing my own food, and I am also eating more often. This is taking up time. Time is limited, and I have 2 kids to take care of (Daughter and Nephew), as well as other adult responsibilities that must be executed each day to progress and achieve my goals.
The gym is not life. Life is life, so I must find balance. I must be properly rested because even though I’m used to running through the day with little sleep adding a intense workout session to that already hectic day makes it almost impossible for me to continue on like I used to.
My body is under more stress physically so if I want to be at the mental capacity to keep on…well, keeping on, I must rest more. I can feel it more and more each day so now it is going to be a mandatory thing. No more winging it off a few hours of half-sleep.
Too often do I fight sleep so I can plan something I usually don’t even have to do until days after I wake up. Why? For now on I am going to set a reminder to take time out to make the plans and just go to sleep.
This is true for sleep as well as picking another activity to distract your brain until you can get further away from the distraction of the overwhelming emotions you are feeling.
I set a bed time and I am confident that this will not only give me more hours in the day-time to be productive but give me more hours with a high performing rested brain. Wish me luck!!
