This summer has definitely been the summer of self- care for me. Being off of my real full time job has given me the time I need to focus on the things that make me happy. Despite how busy I have been I have made it a priority to put health and fitness at the top of my list. It has been glorious. Working out daily is like hitting the reset button. Whether I am overwhelmed and tired or just not feeling it a workout can completely flip my mood, give me a burst of energy, and make all my worries go away.
Today is my first workday of the new school year so I am having to make some shifts in my schedule. I won't be able just to walk down to the gym during the middle of the day anymore. While, I know people have full time jobs all year long, working in the school kind of gives you two completely different lifestyles that you become accustomed to really quick. Adjusting back to the all day work grind is just that, an adjustment.
My promise to myself is to continue to fuel my body with whole, healthy foods, and to workout every day. Whether it be walking the dog in the morning, going to a fun class with friends, a nice run on the trail by my apartment, or doing one of my TIU videos in the gym. Every single day my body needs to move, stretch, and push itself. Self - care becomes more of a necessity during the school year due to the nature of my job. Health and fitness is one way I can treat my body with love and kindness.
This year I have really learned how my body craves a good workout. I have also learned to let go of the expectations that a workout has to be a full blown intense sweat session every day. The latter has made all the difference. Listening to my body and doing something daily has helped me reach so many goals. Even through a tough school year, I promise to treat my body right and keep fitness my priority, I know that with this everything else will fall into place.
What are some ways you make fitness a priority?
