I remember my days in the corporate world, especially during one of my most intense project management phases. I was working 80-90 hours a week, feeling completely burned out. So I want you to know I GET it...
Iโm not sitting here telling you to find balance in life that I havenโt also struggled to achieve.
Back then, I didnโt know how to manage the overwhelming stress and it took a toll on my health and well-being. I understand how regaining control over your life and health can take a lot of mental, physical, and emotional energy that you donโt always have available.
So here are the 6 things I do now that I find super helpful!
๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ: 10 minutes each morning helps me center my thoughts and release any stored tension. This practice would have been a game-changer in my high-stress corporate days!
๐๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด: Every night, I jot down three things Iโm grateful for. Reflecting on the positives changes my perspective, something I wish I knew during those late nights at the office.

๐ฅฌ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต๐, ๐ช๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ๐: Back then, I relied on quick meals and too much caffeine. Now, nourishing my body with energizing foods like smoothies and quality protein keeps my mind clear and my energy steady.
๐ฏ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Engaging with my Breath Angels Club and my support network reminds me of the importance of not going it alone, unlike those isolating days in my corporate role.
