i schedule these things weeks in advance- movement, play, surf, rest, body work, Spanish class, space. and then my clients and meetings book in around that.
i know. it sounds backwards. it felt backwards for a long time. i had to unlearn a few things. especially coming to entrepreneurial life from being an elementary school teacher. i understand not everyone has this privilege of choice and space, but if you’re reading this and you do, keep reading. even if you have a busy job/ life .. make this small. schedule 10 min a day to breathe.
here’s what i know now: a regulated nervous system is not a reward for finishing your to-do list. it’s the condition under which your to-do list actually gets done.
when you schedule these other things, treat them like it’s a meeting you can’t cancel, your body knows you’re choosing yourself. it’s such a good practice if you are in the habit of choosing yourself last 💁🏻♀️ let’s rewire that.
when the week feels safe, you show up differently. you work better. you think clearer. you have more to give without running on empty.
this isn’t a productivity hack. it’s nervous system hygiene.
try it this week. schedule one little thing for yourself.
see what happens to everything else.
comment CHECK if you want to know where to start.
