Self-Care Check-in
We have all heard the saying you cannot pour from an empty cup. How can I show up for you all if I am not showing up for myself? Sometimes I feel like you need a mental reset and refocus. This is that week for me. I need a reset when it comes to my health and fitness, my prayer life, and a total reset on how I utilize my time. Let me be the first to tell you It is okay to recognize areas you are undone because we do not have to be fully together. I am thriving to continuously evolve not thriving for perfection. Part of my mental reset and refocus is taking care of self. Below I will be sharing some self-care tips that I will be initiating this week:
Health and Fitness: At the beginning of the pandemic ya girl was on it!! I was working out everyday and eating healthy. Listen last week I had a bag of hot Funyuns, turkey sandwich, and a minute maid fruit punch for lunch! I have gotten all the way off track and I can feel it in my body. I am constantly having headaches, feeling sluggish, and just uncomfortable. So, this week I vow to put better things in my body and move.
Social Media Breaks: The next thing I will do for myself this week is take breaks from social media. As an influencer with a very active social media account I must be on social media it comes with the territory. I am learning that I can still monitor how much time I spend on social media. So I have set time for posting content, responding to comments, and just casual scrolling.
Listen to Podcasts: One way social media usually takes up my day is in the mornings. My mornings are usually really consumed with scrolling. Even though some is productive and pouring into my life majority is not. Therefore, I have decided to listen to some podcasts while working. I would highly recommend A Table for Daughters and Therapy for Black Girls.
