I have recently stumbled upon Simple Mom's blog and I am in blog-love! She is all about making the most out of life - especially as a mom - and focusing on what counts. Today in the first part of her series by the above title she talks about neglecting ourselves. I especially jived with the part about neglecting our physical needs:
" Here are some common ways we put our bodies on the back burner:
• Not getting enough sleep
• Not drinking enough water
• Not exercising
• Eating too much sugar
• Eating too quickly
• Consuming too many calories
• Consuming too few calories
• Not getting enough fresh air (such as going outside)
Application Time: Pick one of these today, and solve the problem it presents."
I'll pick two goals, because they go hand-in-hand: to go to bed by 10 tonight and get up at 6 for a short run tomorrow morning. This will take care of at least two of the items on this list and give me the boost of energy I need to make it through the last day of a long week at home with the kids.
