revamp of daily routine…

Have you ever fell asleep in the middle of exercise ?

This happened to me the other day.

During my semi-regular morning pilates session I have somehow really really relaxed during transition phase and woke up when the DVD-program ended. This made me think how to enhance my poor energy levels…Instead of blaming the autumn and poor weather (since we’ve had really amazing September) I need to turn my eyes towards my daily routine. To help me find out the energy stealers, a compilation of a list was due. I adore lists. Listing regular weekday and it’s action points, made it quite easy to find the energy stealers. I then selected 3 (hopefully quick-win) items to change

-         Little E wakes up around 4.30-5.00 AM –  sleep is somewhat haphazard from this point on.. => Move little-E to boys room … This should help with prolonged- morning sleep after adjusting period.

-         Organize home ( bulldozing, de-cluttering  and cleaning-spree is definitely needed chez our casa at the moment) => Ask help from girl next door and hire a professional cleaner. And oh.. really consider what to keep and what to throw out. This change is supposed to ease the household tasks and lessen the frustration of things being lost.

-         Distribute exercise routines along the day in smaller time slots. F.e. maybe during lunch break go outside for a quick walk… this should help with getting more FRESH air and hopefully more energy.

Do you have your own ideas/routines on how to get out of the energy-thieves…. Please do let me know !

    A little bit of ME time is the one thing that helps me to re-energize. It dosen’t have to be a long time even 20 minutes is good enough for me. Just enough time for me to sit and finish a hot cup of tea and just relax. AHHHHHHhhhhhhh :-)

    True – it is *too* easy to overlook the me-time. Reading a magazine or chapter from interesting book or listening lovely music really is relaxing… trying to find extra TLC for your day is probably one of the best gifts to give yourseld.
