Should you develop a regimen?
For the past month or two I've been working on developing a regimen to adhere to. In the beginning I'd sit at my desk for hours the night before jotting down ideas. I spent precious time sketching out hour by hour tasks and plans for the next day. Morning would come and I would already be hours behind schedule. My mid morning snack did not make sense before breakfast, by lunch I was too hungry to bother grilling my veggies and making my own salad dressing, whew!
Often times I succumbed to feeling defeat or failure because I was off schedule. Eventually, I had to learn use a more holistic and natural approach to developing a routine that works for me.
Challenge Yourself, but do what works for you
So I went back the drawing board. I decided to break my regimen into smaller increments. I started focusing on my mornings. I decided to perfect (or solidify) my morning routine first and build upon that.
The Result:
Ever morning (or at least 80%)
I do gentle stretches before I get out of bed
I have a cup or either warm lemon water or water with apple cider vinegar
I do gentle calf raises while I brush my teeth or wash dishes.
I take my puppy outside and run around with him, do a few yoga poses, mainly chair and warrior poses.
Once back inside I drink my green drink or make breakfast
I am currently working on lunch and afternoons.
