On Sundays, I've learned to step back and plan for the upcoming week. My weekdays are always packed because I run a natural skincare business and animal boarding facility. Still, I've found that it's crucial to schedule some time for self-care activities even when I'm swamped.
Self-Care Daily Routine
I often walk during my lunch break, prepare a delicious and nutritious meal, or practice yoga to unwind. Though I'm still learning, I've found that yoga is an excellent way to relax.
I prefer to keep a diary of my daily tasks to stay on top of my busy schedule. This allows me to avoid getting bogged down with emails or other work when I could be taking care of myself.
Being available and "on the go" all the time is unhealthy, and in today's hyper-connected world, it can lead to burnout and adverse health outcomes. Therefore, it's essential to slow down and take some time out every day.
Why not prioritize yourself and put your well-being at the top of your list?
