I hear about will power and motivation all the time… Often in the form of: I haven’t got the will power to get to the gym 4 times a week. I need motivation to train for a 10km. I’ve joined a gym but I need motivation to get there after work. But what I’d like to be hearing, is more about habits.
Simple question. How often do you work out? Now, go back over your diary for the last 4-5 weeks and actually count the sessions you’ve completed. ? Bet ya the numbers are not the same.
Mаnу mums ѕреnd all or part оf the week wоrkіng frоm hоmе, саrіng fоr children, juggling housework, laundry and the kid’s social diary. All thеѕе thіngѕ are juѕt as dеmаndіng аnd stressful аѕ gоіng tо wоrk each dау. Worst, you’re constantly tempted by your cupboards, fridge and coffee shop wares. So here’s my top tips to help make уоur experience оf home life healthier.
You went to bed at a reasonable time last night. You think you slept OK …no babies crying, foxes screaming or partner snoring. So you should feel rested, right? But you wake up and you JUST FEEL SHATTERED! You’d understand it if you spent been scrolling Facebook till 1am. Or been to the pub. But you didn’t. You did everything right. So what’s that all about? Well, I have a theory.
Whenever I’m sorting out admin or life in general, I have two piles. A “do it now” basket. This is usually (both or either) time-critical or easy to do. Like pay bills or unstack the dishwasher. A “too hard” basket. Which has things like clean the oven or dreaded tax assessments (until end Jan when this becomes a ‘do it now’ item). Unlike the oven which never happens. Do you have this too? A “too hard” basket?
