How Are Those Distractions for You Today?
Cuz I feel like I’m being pulled in a million different directions. Seriously. Good luck getting time to workout 🏋️♀️ when every SINGL B E I N G in your space needs something from you. Right now.
Seriously y’all let me down when I became a mom. You forewarned me about ALL the things. All the weird and disgusting things. You had stories on freaking stories. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciated all of it, but dang could one of you have forewarned me about how busy the days are and how fast they go?
I seriously was NOT prepared for this. It’s like I blink and the day is over and I’ve done abso-fucking-lutely nothing.
I’m just saying, a heads up would’ve been nice. Like hey make sure your time management skills are on point or you’re going to be late to everything all of the time.
I never knew life could be this busy, nor did I know that I could have my attention be pulled in so many directions as the same time. I swear, sometimes I get to the end of my day with NO idea of how I got to that point because I’ve been moving THE WHOLE DAY.
Trying to add in a workout to that mix can be crazy making.
That level of time insanity makes me completely understand why people let their workouts slide down their priority lists. It’s not just like you workout and you’re done. You workout, then you have to factor in eating and getting ready after the workout. When the day is already going by so fast, even another hour devoted to something else can lead to a nervous breakdown.
It’s not like those distractions go away just because you’ve decided you’re going to workout.
I know you need some hardcore tunnel vision and focus to make your fitness game be fire , I also know that’s easier said than done. Especially when you’re now working from home and a school teacher.
Here’s my Top 3 Tips for Shoving Your Distractions Aside so you can actually workout:
Make sure your workout 🏋️♀️ is clear. There’s nothing worse than starting your workout and seeing all your kid’s clutter in front of your face. Take 5 minutes to clear it out or go somewhere else.
Schedule your workouts. In your calendar 📆. Like an appointment with your doctor. Then have a back up time in case shit hits the fan and your initial time doesn’t work.
Plan your workouts. Know what you’re doing before you even get started and have a back up plan in case shit hits the fan. There’s no bigger distractor then having the time to workout and spending 15 minutes figuring out wtf you’re actually gonna do.
