Let’s get back to life…
Even if this ceasefire is temporary, I am craving routine. The past 6 weeks were A LOT. And I have only just returned to the land of the living, as my toddler has been sick the past few days. So my routine has been off for weeks.
Here are the 4 things I am doing to get back into my routine.
🦋Eating breakfast. I know that sounds weird, but for some reason, when Riley is home with me, I either eat really late or skip it. I am more concerned with whether she is eating properly than myself. Now I am making a concerted effort to go back to my old trusted granola, Pro 20 yogurt and peanut butter every day, no matter what.
🦋Scheduling my time. I am including workouts, meal prepping, and even grocery shopping. For the last 6 weeks, I had no schedule. I literally just had to get through the day, make some sort of balanced meals and entertain a toddler. I didn’t work or create anything. So now I am back to work and life, and I need to know what I am doing each day.
🦋Going to bed early and waking up early. I definitely slipped out of this routine over the war. Even though I am an early bird by nature, there were nights I stayed away for the sake of it and also snoozed the alarm. What was I getting up for? But now I am back to my 5:40 wake-ups and 9 pm bedtime.
🦋Stop the snacking. This was something I did a lot during the war. I ate my feelings, my frustrations and stress. I ate balanced meals as I was cooking for Riley every day, but I snacked a lot too. Now I am more conscious of my eating habits and making sure my meals are more filling so I don’t end up snacking all day.
What are you doing to get back into routine after the war?
